[KatiieLovesJonas]

i don't know why but i always like to hear the tuning before they play haha

[DuckofAwesomeify]

Two things I love the most.

Classical and Adele's work.

This is simply beautiful.

[cnmaster01]

I thought the vocal melody would sound best in the trumpets... Just me maybe.

[ForOrchestra]

@cnmaster01 now you're thinking like an arranger! the reason I didn't choose the trumpets tho is because they tend to be too powerful for a soft lush piece like this.

[MsYoudidit]

its a shame you got no award for this stuff!!

[ForOrchestra]

@MsYoudidit your support is the award

[BrianBuckShot]

is this footage really legit? it is so awosomeness

[linhcute123]

i thought in orchestra you suppose to wear all black

[ForOrchestra]

@linhcute123 rules were meant to be broken

[dracofangxxx]

@ForOrchestra

oh you badass :D I've always disdained orchestra's usual pretentious, serious business tone.. I love your music, and your attitude... it breaks the norm so much :') <3 As a fellow music lover, I really enjoy watching this :')

[MlleCheerios15]

Cest tellement beau :o

[Trisscarr]

I like this :)

[ForOrchestra]

@Trisscarr i like you!

[TheJoskee]

i cant beleive you all think this is a real recording lol just listen to the brass its so blatty no orchestra would play it so jarring and the flute is all synth of this is synth

[happyhardcoreisgay]

Lucy Liu at 0:32 ? hahahaha

[XxOhMyJoshxX]

@ForOrchestra She likes this version and the original so I guess she likes the song in general

[featherman9]

Wow Walt this is very impressive I have always had a thing for classical music but I don't always enjoy some of the older pieces and almost all of your work has interested me a lot in your work! you might be getting an email one day about using your work in some professional work of mine

[waltribeiro]

@featherman9 thanks feather!

[wkozaa123]

Nice try, but it isn't real. You most likely made it on Synthesia.

[RunescapeInChaos]

Love Love Love.

[RodriggoJJ]

lo genial es que si yo escucho otra pieza arreglada por Walt Ribeiro podría reconocerlo, tiene un estilo muy particular.Muy buena version, muy linda.

[FatCatMedia]

dude you should so do the theme to Shaft :D

[saxman481]

Not my favorite arrangement of yours, but I LOVE the blog entry about it. Walt, you are such an inspiration. PLEASE keep it up!!

[ForOrchestra]

@saxman481 glad you liked my entry. i feel lik not a lot of people read them, so I considered not writing them anymore - but maybe i should continue doing them?

[GenevieveAileen]

WAAALLLTT! You are amazing.

[ForOrchestra]

@GenevieveAileen thanks gen! how did you hear about my work? stay awesome.

[ekcsdee]

I don't care if this is fake or not. YOU ARE A GENUISSSSSSSSSSS

[ForOrchestra]

@ekcsdee 10 s's means average, but omg i broke the 11 s's barrier. amazing, really

[mattpartridge24]

I dont disagree with trying to portray your composition in the best way, but if he truly wanted to give an idea of what it would look like being performed, why doesnt it mention that in the description? @waltribeiro plenty of Orchestras do play new music, and if you cant find one that does, make one, if you are really passionate about seeing your music played, do your best to make it happen. Perhaps you aren't a fraud, but letting people believe your music was played at the Proms is a deception.

[waltribeiro]

@mattpartridge24 fair enough. it was just a fun idea. didn't think it'd be an issue. want me to delete this?

[mattpartridge24]

@waltribeiro Not at all, then no one could appreciate your music! Maybe just mention that fact that you edited an original video to fit your music, for whatever effect.

[ForOrchestra]

@mattpartridge24 you got it, i'll continue doing that for now on. i'm also considering just going back to my original "logo" videos. editing is seriously time consuming. i hate video editing, ya know?

[joeicatrivante]

Adele is one of the best things that happened in 21st century's music.

[ForOrchestra]

@joeicatrivante almost agree. better than pearl jam?

[joeicatrivante]

@ForOrchestra Well, as I said, she's one of the best things in 21st century...

I can't choose what's THE best, though...

But yeah, Pearl Jam is pretty f'ing great. (I love Do The Evolution (you should do Do The Evolution))

[XxOhMyJoshxX]

This is my mom's favorite song

[ForOrchestra]

@XxOhMyJoshxX the original or the orchestra arrangement? think before you answer josh

[robie2222]

Always a pleasure to see a new one

[ForOrchestra]

@robie2222 thanks robie. the pleasure is all mine

[curlytopgurl]

this is amazing!!

People, it doesn't matter what is happening on screen--it could be a freaking bunny and it would still not matter! so the film doesn't match up with the audio. so what?!

the music is what matters. the passion is what matters. and i think he nailed the essence of the song.

[ForOrchestra]

@curlytopgurl thanks curly top gurl. yea i worked hard on this piece. i'm glad you enjoyed it

[sloppyscott182]

I love the power that this song has behind it.I would LOVE to see a tour of some of your songs.

Also @mattpartridge24 he is trying to help spread the power of music in a way that people haven't seen in a long while, The effort he puts into these is above and beyond what most people do for what they love. All he did was dress up a song to help us envision what it would be like when we do see a full on orchestra perform these.

[mattpartridge24]

Come on people, look at 1:05, do you think the cello fingerings match to the note changes in the music? Look at 1:47 where the strings fade away, but the people in the video are still bowing away. This person is a fair composer, but it is a computer playing the instruments, and some (somewhat) clever editing make it look like an orchestral performance. This person tarnishes all of his good music by choosing to be an unfortunate fraud.

[waltribeiro]

@mattpartridge24 fair enough - but understand i wouldn't have to do it if orchestras played new music. i'm a nice guy - and not some fraud. the sole reason why i learned MIDI is so I could bring my score to life.

[zoomjenny]

BBC proms? Wow! 

[ForOrchestra]

@zoomjenny zoom jenny, you're awesome. don't ever change

[Williamlumb11]
