And there are a handful of rock tunes that basically have "To be played at maximum volume by an orchestra" on the master-tape label.
Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1975)
Performed in 2013 by the Indiana University Studio Orchestra, with Sarah Harball on viola and Patrick Hunninghake on trumpet, Nicholas Hersh conducting.
Let's start another #SymphonicMonday. Just post some symphonic/orchestral music that you like, from rock/metal or any other genre, symphonies, soundtracks etc.
Today, a double entry for #BlackMetalMonday and #SymphonicMonday . Oh, I have to thank black metal and symphonic music for getting along so well!
This is a classic from Limbonic Art and their 1996 masterpiece "Moon In The Scorpio".
A grim and rich sound, who carries you to an astral journey.
Pity for the poor production, that limits the fruition a bit too much.
For #SymphonicMonday today, a recent upload on the Nintendo of America Youtube channel: The Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert [Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO] 🎮🎶
I'm very late again today for #SymphonicMonday, here is an #orchestral instrumental version of 黄泉より聴こゆ、皇国の燈と焔の少女。 by Imperial Circus Dead Decadence from Japan 🤩
It's been awhile I didn't post something for @sariash 's #SymphonicMonday . Time to make amends.
I don't remember if I ever posted them.
They are Biomechanical, a turbulent progressive/thrash band (now disbanded) with heavy cinematic symphonic elements.
Let's think them as Pantera, Fear Factory, Nevermore, Annihilator and Queensryche fused together with an orchestra.
Meet the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Here is a charming and fun Tiny Desk Concert performance of some songs from the Sweeney Todd musical for #SymphonicMonday 😍
