Can you vote on this song, 1 being brilliant, 5 being crap

It’s beautiful. 1.

4. Does nothing for me emotionally, or as a soundtrack or classical piece. The repeating theme is, well...not very interesting. 

I could hear as soon as the theme started it is a movie track.  Overblown and over-dramatic.  I couldn't listen to it as music.

1 as music         A generous 2 as a soundtrack, a long long way from the best ever written.

5

I would give it a maybe a 3 ,a bit repetitive , but very cohesive.

if comparing to say a classic like Phantom of the Opera, or chariots of fire.

I preferred the quieter more poignant opening and middle sections as I'm not sure if it needed to keep building up to a big sweeping crescendo.

There was also a hook in there but not an especially catchy one.

As there was still enough going on to keep it interesting I'd give it a solid 3.

As a part of a movie soundtrack, whether it is acceptable depends on how central the piece is to the story.  If it is just one of many original pieces, and it is not suppose to be a masterpiece, it might be adequate in its role.  Again, the context is quite important. 

As an example, in the movie Mr. Holland's Opus, a wanna be serious composer is sidetracked by the necessity to get a job (music teacher in a high school), the hectic extra-curricular activities related to being a music teacher, repairing relationships with his wife and son (whose deafness he did not deal with well when his son was a child).  At the end of the movie, school budget cuts force him into retirement, and for his going away, a huge number of former students show up to show their appreciation for what he as done for their lives.  The school orchestral has secretly been practicing the Symphony he had been writing for years and was never able to complete.  The climax of the movie is the playing of this piece.  It is sort of a downer that this piece is pretty bad.  At least this did not totally destroy the movie because Mr. Holland's opus was not his music, but, what he did to the lives of the people around him.

It matters a lot if this piece is, or is not, central to the story.

I would not add it to any of my Playlists, so I would not rate it highly. Overall, I give it a "4". However, as a movie soundtrack it holds up better for me. I would give it a "2-3" as part of a film score.

Overall …  rated as a “five” (5) = . thumbs down!
It may have some appeal to others, but nada for me. 

Movie soundtrack, something you'd find in a Hallmark movie, so a 3. I would only listen to it once as a classical piece, so a 4-5 for that. Sorry if I offended anyone, just an opinion.

It is a movie soundtrack.  Thanks for the vote.

What is the context for this rating—as a classical work, as a soundtrack piece, or what?  Purely as a classical piece, I would say: 5; as something in a soundtrack: 3-4.
