As such, this orchestration hasn't fundamentally changed for perhaps 1000 years. Its use before a film serves to "regify" the film, lending ann aura of regal pomp and splendour... but hang on - it's just a film! </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9536311-3840513387524498699?l=skellywag.blogspot.com'/></div>Skellywagnoreply@blogger.com0
