"Blood Brothers" by Iron Maiden (arr. f. Symphony Orchestra & Choir)
I'm a bit speechless right now. I mean, I had high expectations to the results, but this was... As I said in the description of my last video: I'm not very familiar with this band. Of course, I know a couple of songs from them that I like... a bit.
But I knew two things about Iron Maiden that were way more important to me: they have three guitarists and a classical trained Opera-singer. So, this was more like a call of duty to me :D
Now, that I've finished the opener of the next great project, I think that all of them have classical experience: what a great song for an orchestral arrangement!
Despite the ton of work that I've put into this piece for almost five days, I've always been completely relaxed - except at the end, because I couldn't wait to record all of this.
This is my most complicated creation so far, and maybe the most beautiful.
Can't really tell how I feel right now :)
Change notes:
- added some staccato notes here and there
- at one point they use an octaver to create a doubling effect on the melody: usually I would have just used another group of instruments (octave down) to reach that effect...but there wasn't any group left, so I just cut that
Hope, you guys like the outcome as much as I do. Enjoy :)
Sorry, for the many words this time...damn, I'm hungry now :D

"Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC (arr. for Classical Orchestra)
Переглядів 20216 годин тому
That was insane. Again, second half was quite challenging. And yet again totally worth it. I'm very pleased with this bombastic arrangement. But I think this song sets the mark to end this series for a while. After a short break will go on with a band I'm not quite familiar with, because the last time I listened to them was more than three decades ago. So, have a little patience with me, when i...
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC (arr. f. Classical Orchestra & Choir)

The title is not quite correct: I left all the woodwinds out for this one, because there was absolutely no use for them. So, it's more like 2/3 of a classical orchestra^^. But that would have been a stupid title :D I think the results a pretty good. And it was easier than I expected, except the outro. No significant changes were made. Enjoy! Took a bit longer this time, because I was caught in ...

Maaan! That was way more complicated than I expected, especially the second half of the song. But totally worth it. Really love the results. Hope you will, too. Change notes: - several small changes, but don't have enough brain cells left to recall them right now :D This was a bit much. Need a day off. Enjoy, everybody!
"The Razors Edge" by AC/DC (as a Symphonia Inferna)

This is an arrangement for classical orchestra & choir of AC/DC's probably most atypical song. I was really looking forward to work this out, because I didn't really know where this would take me...Turned out, to a more sinister place than I expected. Change notes: - the intro and the outro sequences are not in the same timing as the original (it's free time anyway), because I wanted to create ...

Actually, I could have done this for a symphony orchestra. But when I realized it was too late. Didn't want to start over the whole thing again. Anyway, I think it's fine just like it is :) Always liked the melody throughout the whole song and the message is pretty cool as well. No significant changes were necessary. Enjoy :)

This was the only complete song by AC/DC that I learned on guitar. And I learned it by looking on its sheet for one time :D It is incredibly easy, but much fun to perform...and to arrange. So, if you are about to learn the guitar, I highly recommend the original song for a lasting good start. Hope, it is fun to listen to my arrangement it, too :) Change notes: - added a few single notes for the...
"Hells Bells" by AC/DC (arr. f. Church Organ, Choir & Orchestra / better version)

This is the announced re-upload of my arrangement. It is way more accurate and closer to the original idea that I had in mind. I couldn't get there last night, because - in addition to the difficulties that occurred - I was too impatient: there was a slight overload because of the organ; I completely cut the choir, because it pissed me off^^, and the bells were not accurately on point. Never st...
If "Givin The Dog A Bone" by AC/DC was written for Silent Hill

This is an arrangement of AC/DC's song for a string quartet and grand piano. The original plan was to make an arrangement for classical orchestra, as I've done it so often now. After four measures I realized that this wouldn't work out. It was way too forceful and the the chord variations that Angus is playing in the original song were not even noticeable anymore, because of that. So, I thought...
"For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)" by AC/DC (Epic Orchestra Edition)

AC/DC's most epic song deserves the most epic setting: we have a full symphony orchestra! We have a full male and female choir! And - yeah, that's right! - we have the canons! And they are as real as the choir and the orchestra :D (the editing for them was a real pain in the ass^^) Man, what a piece of work. But I'm very happy with the outcome. This arrangement was a heartfelt concern for me fo...
If Mozart wrote "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (by AC/DC)

This arrangement of AC/DC's song for classical orchestra strongly reminded me to many moments in the works of W.A. Mozart (no offense, Wolfgang!). So, I just had to give it that title :D Love this piece. Relax and enjoy (it was made for that)...
"Big Gun" by AC/DC (arr. f. Classical Orchestra & Grand Piano)

Normally, when I use an instrument, I use it for the whole track. In this case, the piano was an expedient and it wasn't my plan to use it anyway. But in the second half of the song I had some phonetic problems, as well as with the instrumental supply for all the notes necessary. I'm fine with this solution: sounds great and it shows how a change or addition of an instrument can change the whol...

No changes were necessary, but I could not completely figure out the outro solo - so, I hope it is close enough to the original. Enjoy.

This is an arrangement of AC/DC's song for classical orchestra with harp & choir. Also, with this Upload I'm starting a new very big project: a playlist called "AC/DC - A to the Zee", in which I will set all of AC/DC's greatest evergreens (orchestral) in alphabetical order... ...and, considering the times we are living in, I could not think of a better opening for this project than the words: "...

I never had in mind to arrange this song, because there is not much going on in it. Don't get me wrong: I like the original (used to listen to it very often, back in the days). But one of my subscribers (I guess) asked for it. Here you go, buddy. Hope you like it :D Because of the D-tuning Metallica uses here, I had to bring in the brass more than usual. Change notes: - transposed the third ver...
