John Williams - Duel of the Fates - RTS Symphony Orchestra

[Troforso]

i would actually like the red russian army choir do this one.

[reloadingdontshoot1]

Wow, I actually headbanged to this due to the awesome drums; best version I've heard on Youtube

[LiiChinHo]

I feel like playing Battlefront all over again.

[VladTepeshu]

uvek se najezim!

[Amy8Rob]

The drums are friggin awesome at 1:15

They outweigh the in my humble opinion awful slow tempo.

[enzowan]

espectacular, si tan solo hubieran incluido coros sería mejor,pero muy bueno.-

[Frxis]

a little bit to slow, and sounds there's missing instruments

[JazzChriss]

the tempo of Duel Of Faith oscillates between 158-164 in 4/4 this one is 2x slower (115-120 id guess) it sounds like an old tank wagon.... but still it is outstanding for people even try to play this piece. :)

[Strictwest]

you are so right about it oscillating between 158 and 164

[yikster]

@JazzChriss so 2x slower please send me that math

[spaceopera87]

awful conductor.

[SuperQuack123]

the horn players sounded great!! :D :D :D

[shenloken2]

Though I miss the vocals..this version of Duel ofthe Fates with its rapid tempo is pretty awesome too!

[onlinenorthern]

I think its a great version actually. I play cello, I remember all through my youth I so much wanted to play just anything from star wars but was never able to (something about it not being fair that everyone had to pay £20 for a music book!) I'll get to live this dream one day but am really very rusty now! So anyway well done.

[soittotaiteilija]

It sounds good with the trombones, but I'd rather the choir sing their part...

[HornPlayerBen]

That doesn't sound like the right key...

[Tgoogle222]

It's an orchestral arrangement. It has the same melody.

[barbieburner]

I love the star wars music! I play the cello, and I got to play this with the Richmond Youth Symphony. We actually took it a lot faster, like it is in the movie. It's EXTREMELY hard to keep that pace! Your fingers get very tired (the cello part is just the dum dum dadada thing the whole time) but the end result makes all the pain, and future carpal tunnel I'm sure, worth it. I personally like the faster version better, but it is very challenging.

[TheMercadian]

Hello...

Please go to watch, rate and comment the 4 rearrangements for 3 violines of Star Wars themes (Main Title, Flag Parade, Duel of Fates and Imperial March) by searching :

star wars 3 violines

It's quite interesting =p

[less01]

very bad version

[dorknight25]

Thats not working out too well now is it? x

[omenaboemer]

i am gustavo i am a jedi love this all!!!!

[Lethkul]

it's very slow indeed. ruined the mood of the song.

[MattD12027]

way too slow, and after the brass into the strings are supposed to quick and light, not heavy and accented and sluggish; you can't really change one of john williams' masterpieces and expect it to be even close to the original. sorry, but even though it sounds (ie pitch and tone) fine, it is certainly not "duel of the fates"

[rozinfo]

Not every performance needs to sound like the original. Just play your soundtrack. We're in a concert here where an arrangement can digress and recorded with a video camera its not optimal anyway. I liked it.

[musicandhorses1822]

I recall playing this in my high school orchestra. To those thinking it's not Duel of the Fates, this is a combination of all the compositions John Williams composed for SW Ep1 TPM

Considering some of the orchestras I've heard and me playing this particular one, they did a pretty good job.

[sebbygreenpeas]

Fantastic! There's nothing like a live band!

[dlanor212]

Orchestra.. not band.

[Dani4mari72]

ya it is you just have to wate

[QuiGonFan]

thats not duel of the fates, you dummy

[winall97]

Watch the whole damn video idiot

[QuiGonFan]

but its not duel of the fates, u idiot

[winall97]

Did you watch the whole damn fucking video you dumbass!?

[QuiGonFan]

yea i did, u dumbass

[Laranto]

QuiGonFan do you even know how Duel of the Fates sounds like?

[QuiGonFan]

yesss

[Laranto]

Then you should realise that it begins at 0:35

[Darg1312002]

I agree. It isn't like the one in the movie it is a little slower. We played it at our school in John Williams Movie Adventures and it sounded like this. I actually prefer it to the other one.

[dagraytest14]

it sounds so much better

[IanasAnd]

Ur Right.

And it sounds Great

[SpartanM621]

Apparently retard

[dp2343]

lmao how is that not it... u obviously dont no what ur talking about

[tritonomaldito]

horrible arrangement... everything is always forte, absolutely flat... every damm beat has an accent!

[winall97]

true so true

[GrandJediMaster7860]

I think it gives the theme a new kind of edge. I like it ;)

[Darg1312002]

I think so too. I like that slower sound. It makes it sound more menacing I guess :)

[sarucris]

it's way too slow for my taste

[charliegfrenz]

Probably for cleanliness of the strings

[Raitharan]

thank you , gosh i have heard this song many times and i couldnt agree more, it isnt bad it is just dissapointing

[Mtanic]

Yes, it was supposed to be like that. They have a choir (of course), but the arrangements were made for orchestra only, and they weren't made by anyone from the orchestra or working with the orchestra, but by an american composer.

[nnlice13]

Come on, don't blame musicians for everything. Maybe it is supposed to be like that, according to the arrangement! They sure miss a choir to add on some drama, but I pretty much like it this way. These people can do a lot faster. Check their "Pirates of the Caribbean" piece! It was a GREAT CONCERT!

[Silander26]

i like it, its the same tune, but a bit different. a nice little spin of their own. its a bit slower, but thats fine by me

[EdenHSV]

This would fit to the duel between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader from episode IV.^^

[Otty2Hotty]

come on, obi wan & qui gon vs maul, a fight till death, SPEED IT UP!!!

[Famicom4]

You should say 'Great sloooow work'

It looks like a Western.

They didn't get the point at all

[katazlata]

Great work!

Steta sto nije bolji snimak!! Bio je odlican koncert!
