should the timpanis be that high pitched?
and... why is there two timpani tracks?
The second timpani track wasn't finished, it could be ignored. I added it to make some of the beats sound louder, there was no loadness function I could find in the program I used. I don't think the first sets of drums sounded as good without it, but then on the other hand I forgot to finish the second timpani so it's just silent the rest of the piece...

The horns should be continuous (with possibly staccato added to those that have pause signs between them, very late in the piece - from second half of the second line of tunes in the image). The third chord (after the two that are alike), is A-C-E. If the image I uploaded is too unclear I have a better, but larger (in filesize and format) one that might be easier to see the tunes at, I must admit the uploaded one was a little unclear. For the pitch of the timpanis, the first 4 beats should sound as high-pitched as the first drum beats in Carmina Burana, if that's of any help.

Just for safety, if/when you've finished the piece you could send me a link to it by PM before posting it here, so I can tell if it's the way I had intended first.
