Cue of the Week: “Blades of the Faithful”

Yikes, it’s been nearly a month since the last Cue of the (so-called) Week. Sometimes the work of writing new music circumvents the sharing of old music.

Or in this case, not that old. This week’s cue is another selection from the soundtrack of the newly-released game Empires Apart. (Now available via Steam!)

Here we have another of the national faction themes, this one for ancient Arabia. I gave the central melody to the duduk, a mideastern woodwind with a distinctive, sinuous sound.
