@@rohanahlawat5809 Tosin has said he likes all type of music (he even said he listens to pop music like Rihanna) so I highly doubt that he would "hate" it
I love AAL as much as anyone but this music is still somewhat crude compared to famous orchestral composers. John Williams even now makes so much more interesting stuff for orchestra
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.
Ľubomír Kompiš Remember amazed =/= surprised. I think he was voicing his 'amazement' at the arrangement. Animals as leaders wrote the song, but transposition is more than a copy/paste job.
God damn... that bridge... Synthesized or not, great work. Yes, a real orchestra would have been amazing, but this is absolutely fantastic; a wonderful recreation of a masterpiece.
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.
Lovely! The clarity makes this tune easier to dissect mentally and figure out how it works. Animals as Leaders tunes are always such beautiful puzzles that take a few listens to solve.
TRULY AWESOME....great arrangement, of the mighty "CAFO", which I have had the distinct PRIVILEGE of witnessing in person, earlier this year in Poughkeepsie N.Y. Long live Tosin Abasi,the KING of all new shred guitar!
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.
totally blown away! i liked the interpretation particularly because it will suit an orchestra quite well. the subtle alterations/additions made enhance its credibility as an orchestral piece.
get a real orchestra to play this!! i mean its great because it is great but it would brilliant if a full orchestra played it. Or just more dynamic contrast. sounds good though.
+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 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.
@@anonym0usplatypus yeah the brass may be doable, but the biggest issue is with volume, even if those string parts were possible, you'd never hear it over the brass.
@@JoshuaConnorMusic also true. Listen to the end of Ein Heldenleiben. First of all its badass and its worth. Second of all the Cellos are working so damn hard and no one can hear them cause the brass are playing so loud and its the exact same kind of issue.
I love the concept the song and the choices you made!!! Really amazing!! I'm feeling that sometimes the tempo is not followed by everything, especially by 3:56. But maybe it's just me. Still awesome! PLZ MOAR

LOL, you've got no idea about professional orchestra musicians. They are masters at their craft. Each of them is like a Tosin Abasi on their instrument.
In-fucking-sane. Grown up playing alto sax and purcussion. Later moved towards guitar. Never head banged to a classical transposition. Hails to Tobin for his composition, and hails to the Chicago Youth Orchestra and Allen Tinkman for their transposition and interpretation.
makes me wish i had my violin back and it gives me some ideas for how this couldve been a little better. however, i realize the amount of work this took to compose and put together, so i think its amazing!
Good luck getting the quality of musicians it would take to record this live. This piece is rhythmic hell to perform and I can’t imagine how to approach conducting most this. Really well arranged though!

Especially the fingers.
Lmao
I never realized how strong the sense of urgency there is in this song.
Wtf
why am I hearing that now?
This comment made me ask... What is "CAFO" and damn the urgency makes even more sense. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
Tosin Abasi must hear this.
He'd hate it cuz it is just MIDI.
@@rohanahlawat5809 still impressive to transcribe it all to MIDI and get it to sound this good

The song is in E major actually

Dude! 😂
JackBluebee made my day
please tosin has to hear this
This would fit amazingly in any darksouls bossfight.
bloodborne 2?
I think it fits kingdom hearts boss battle music vibes really well
I would pay real money for the entire first AAL album in this style. So good!
This just blew my fucking mind. Absolutely. Blew. My. Fucking. Mind. Tosin Abasi is a genius. Could you imagine if the great old composers heard this?
They'd figure music was dead hahahaha.
Their loss :)
Not sure if that'd be the case for everyone. :P
I love AAL as much as anyone but this music is still somewhat crude compared to famous orchestral composers. John Williams even now makes so much more interesting stuff for orchestra
PATRIOTxx3 that's totally a matter of opinion. See, I think tosin's composition is far more interesting to me than some compositions for orchestras

Why? A lot of metal is well suited for orchestra.
Ľubomír Kompiš Remember amazed =/= surprised. I think he was voicing his 'amazement' at the arrangement. Animals as leaders wrote the song, but transposition is more than a copy/paste job.
Good point.
Why would you waste your life on a classical music degree
As basically the exact same thing as u I would have to agree
God damn... that bridge...
Synthesized or not, great work. Yes, a real orchestra would have been amazing, but this is absolutely fantastic; a wonderful recreation of a masterpiece.
I don't think the violin part would be playable, unfortunately...
Agreed. Also the harp part...
A real orchestra would fricken die if they tried to play this let's be honest here
You did a solid job on your instrument choice dude. This could of been a jumbled mess but you killed it. Props.
William Bristow could *have you stupid fuck

@@idonthavh1n166 you’re not on your Xbox, son.
I believe these are all virtual instruments.
Still, this is a masterpiece 💯💯
Is it just funny how well metal ties in with Orchestra/classical? it's so complex and yet so beautiful.
Most other types of music don't explore the note choice or scales metal or classical live in.
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.
Man when everything drops at 2:55 and the chorded section comes in orchestrated it gave me goosebumps so bad it hurt. Amazing job on the cover
this is brilliant ..no joke i had tears of joy at 2:23 the transition is incredible same for 3:58 and 4:31 5:00 5:26 6:00
It sounds beautiful I know what you mean
same sir
gives me the 007 vibes
I had goosebumps at 4:31
Dude the winds of war sound is at 2:23
I sincerely hope you plan to make more of these
Definitely
@@askolovq9649 bro we need more!:)
Did you know that few days ago Animals As Leaders actually played with symphony orchestra? Legit :D
Still can't believe that happened. Was astonished.
Unfortunately, the only recording on youtube sucks.
battle track for the next final fantasy
please
I never got that vibe from the original track but because of this version I can totally hear how fitting it would be
totally agree
Prog Ride same here.. it really fits well with an orchestral arrangement.
Jesus fuck, I would literally die happy.

This is so extremely well put together that I can’t even think of a significant enough way to put it into words.
Спасибо огромное за кавер и за ссылку на flac! слушаю раз за разом с восхищением!
This makes it seem like the song was initially created for an orchestral setting, truly epic!
please Square Enix include this on your next game
Lauliet THIS
it needs to be in final fantasy 15 it just sound perfect x a million!!!!!!!
xDDDD
it will never happen after what they did
Yanick Lehmann you're dissapointed too, huh? jahaha
thank you for sharing, you have to send it to Animals as Leaders band, try and see what they think man, its an awesome work.
This is one of the most amazing things i've ever heard. There has to be more of this.
Should be on Smash Bros. 😏
This would be perfect for a smash bros medley holy fuck

I got all teary up and chills all over when I heard the trailer song for ori and the blind forest, it's great.
i was about to type something similar but just decided to like your comment

Hey man, I'm a fellow Bangladeshi! Good to see you here. :)
Felt some FF3 but also alot of Link to the Past especially with the harps... astonishing work my friend Great job!
It's Animals as Leaders tho lol
Vow of Volition b4 when you get famous please come to Chicago! BTW your Archspire technique for the new HTWL up coming vid is Sicc as Fuk
Yeaaaah I mean the original song is a thing.... Even though with that I felt the same way about it- sounds like a boss battle. The actual song.
Why are you guys on every fucking video
Spoon Lord all hail the spoon Lord
Man, i'd love it if you did this to more of their songs! I'd even pay to hear it
Yeah! Shut up and take my moneeey!

This is beautifully orchestrated! Maybe programming could be tighter and more organic but to me it sounds terrific as is.

brilliant ♥
Epic. What more can be said?
As someone who loves symphonic music...
😍
I was left SPEECHLESS throug out the entire video. Kudos to you man!!!
Before 0:29 i was tottally unconfident about it, but dude, now that i've listened again, this is amazing! Great work!
I love the concept the song and the choices you made!!! Really amazing!! I'm feeling that sometimes the tempo is not followed by everything, especially by 3:56. But maybe it's just me. Still awesome!
PLZ MOAR
this could be on purpose, because of the humanization of the whole thing. i think orchestras are not perfectly at tempo
think so too, sounded really great!
Lucas Gerth the tempo is good its just weirdly timed like the original
did anyone feel like star wars and middle earth battles happening at the same time ?! no? mmkay then
COMPLETELY DID
You're completely right it sounded like darth vader and aragorn charged towards each other hahaha

pls hehe
This is soo phenomenal! I can't stop listening to it. Fantastic work!

imagine how powerful this would be live
I would shit myself of luck 😊🔥🤘🏿
