“Lost Treasure” by Richard Dobeson is an epic Neo-Classical cinematic composition that unfolds like a four-chapter journey—where the thrill of adventure meets the depth of spiritual discovery.
The piece opens with a soft electronic piano arpeggio, shimmering over ethereal pads and subtle textures, evoking the calm before setting sail.
Gradually, a sense of expectation builds—like the quiet awe before uncovering something sacred.
A sudden strike of taiko-like drums ushers in movement and purpose. Marcato strings drive the rhythm forward, embodying courage and determination, as if the quest has truly begun.
Then, in the third section, heroic brass and resonant horns rise over a string ostinato, carrying the listener into an emotional, triumphant landscape.
Layers of percussion and orchestral energy swell, reflecting the inner and outer battles fought to reach what is truly valuable.
The final act brings variations of earlier themes, symbolizing revelation—the realization that the greatest treasure lies within.
Inspired by the parable of the hidden treasure (Matthew 13:44), this music invites the listener to look beyond material pursuits and listen for the spiritual riches buried deep in the heart.
“Lost Treasure” merges electronic and orchestral worlds, balancing subtle detail with cinematic grandeur.
A perfect score for filmmakers, storytellers, and dreamers drawn to tales of mystery, faith, and transcendence.
