Gerardo Reyes It's actually not a matter of opinion. Not completely anyway. Harmonically speaking the composers of the 20th century like Stravinsky, Bartok, Debussy and Ravel implemented very unusual harmonic ideas, even by today's standards. Key changes in just a matter of seconds in one movement of a piece, no pure major or minor tonality, instead they used Polytonality. Conjoining a major chord, with a minor chord or a dominant chord, combining melodies from two different key signatures, etc. Even in the rhythm department, Stravinsky's Le Sacre, Pieces for String Quartet, and Bartok's String Quartets among others have rhythms just as complicated as any AAL composition. There's no accounting for taste obviously and it's fine to like them more but it's most likely a fact that had this song been written in musical notation paper and presented to most of those guys, they wouldn't be that impressed, which is what was being discussed.

This is probably the best orchestral cover of a metal song I've heard. Usually the orchestra goes off on a tangent with their interpretations of the piece, sometimes to the point to when it's unrecognisable, but this sounds spot on.

This is actually really well orchestrated... love the bass drum rolls, very well placed. As for the playability.... the first violin part in the main riff would be ridiculous and probably unplayable on the instrument, I think that kind of sostinuto pattern would be better placed in the upper winds or on piano. You might find success splitting it up between multiple instrument, like having the second violins playing the lower notes and having the first violins playing the upper notes.

+Lorenzo Rizzardi some of the parts are actually pretty utopic like the tapping riff that constantly moves between cellos and violins. for the notes to complement each other like that and for it still to be rhythmically understandable is reeeally hard. just saying the arrangement would probably need to be adapted a little in order to make it realistic. also not shure about the sweeps on violin/harp, seems really hard to play. definitely would take a world class orchestra to do this right.

I'd be interested to see if this could ever truly be arranged well for an orchestra

@JoshuaConnorMusic

6 жыл бұрын

I honestly doubt it, not without some significant changes to this arrangement, a lot of this arrangement is either very difficult, or simply not possible. Those huge staccato rhythms from the brass would require iron lungs, the notes are very low and sound ffff in dynamics, which may or may not be physically possible. Coupled with the speed and how staccato the notes are, I doubt many players would be able to play it anywhere near clean enough to sound right, and it would be so loud nothing else would be heard over them. Those harp arpeggios may pose a problem too, since while it may not be too difficult in terms of technique, the thing with harps is that in order to change key you need to manually raise and lower individual notes of a scale with pedals, and since a lot of those runs have lots of modulations, there may or may not be enough time to switch keys. I'm not sure how easy it would be for a violinist to play that main arpeggio, as what works for a guitar tuned in 4ths may not be so idiomatic for a violin tuned in fifths (though it's still nothing compared to a Paganini caprice I'm sure). But even all that aside, a lot of these rhythms are far beyond what most orchestras are comfortable with, so expect it to take plenty of takes and plenty of money, and even then it won't be anywhere near as clean as precise as this video.
