Lady Gaga 'Bad Romance' For Orchestra by Walt Ribeiro

[psychoticlammington]

this is really good. I'm slowly getting through all of Walt's orchestral pieces

[blackrosejokerf]

it sounds a bit creepy at times, which matches lady gaga's outfits XD

[Magnetspule]

could be used in a harry potter movie :D

[ForOrchestra]

@Magnetspule most definitely!

[Magnetspule]

@ForOrchestra happy new year :D

[ForOrchestra]

@Magnetspule you too magnet!

[psychoticlammington]

this is really really good. i first heard about him on a BBC radio 1 show and I loved it

[waltribeiro]

@psychoticlammington thanks!

[OscarRocketsMusic]

I'm a freak who analyzed Bad Romance to a point where I know all the sounds...This is such a good song to make an orchestral version out of because it has so many different sounds...An orchestra has so many different instruments.

[waltribeiro]

@OscarRocketsMusic yep!

[7thSigma]

listening to this and hearing the lyrics to "leather pants" in my head. what has the internet done to me?

[leoz96]

@7thSigma You sir, win the internetz

[itsJustinJ]

I think you guys should film the instrumentalists as they're playing in a studio or wherever and use that as the video instead of having an album art : )

but nonetheless, I love your compositions!

[ForOrchestra]

@itsJustinJ thanks justin! yea I'll try and do better with the videos

[iwantamocha]

AWESOME. :D

I feel like a lot of the sections you used staccato in could be more slurred. :)

[ForOrchestra]

@iwantamocha i agree. This was one of the first one's i did. My arranging style and everything is much different/better now

[FatCatMedia]

sick



[EEKentertainment]

Excellent! B-) 

[ForOrchestra]

@EEKentertainment hahah i shooting for the A+'s EEk!

[EEKentertainment]

@ForOrchestra I think I enjoyed this more than actual song. XDDD haha! So you did a grand job!

[JustJoshinMagic]

Awesome arrangement! What program do you use? Finale or Seblius

[FatCatMedia]

@JustJoshinMagic i think they use a real orchestra lol XD

[JustJoshinMagic]

@FatCatMedia lol no its deff a computer program, they just use very good recordings =]

[razor1998]

@JustJoshinMagic

im pretty sure its an orchestra :P

[JustJoshinMagic]

@razor1998 trust me its not... I'm a musician who has played in orchestras before, and you can tell its a computer program (prob Sibelius or Finale) they just have high quality MIDIs so it sound better. If you look at some of the "footage" from other videos you'll see that what the video is playing doesn't match up with the audio. Nevertheless this is a FANTASTIC arrangement! Major props to the arranger =]

[TylerRobinson7]

@razor1998 Its the Garritan orchestra samples

[rosseatsleepjdm]

@JustJoshinMagic are you a total baldrick, theyre a very recognised live orchestra

[JustJoshinMagic]

@rosseatsleepjdm Haha you obviously have no experience with music writing programs. Seriously

[rosseatsleepjdm]

@JustJoshinMagic how do you work that out? because i know for FACT that this ISNT a music writing program? i am aware of digital sounds existence. just im sure this is a recording of live instruments. or is it 'deff' a computer program aye?

[JustJoshinMagic]

@rosseatsleepjdm (cont) this just isn't a real orchestra. Nevertheless its a fantastic channel, the arranger does a great job, and I am a very happy subscriber. As for how do I know these things? 8 years of music experience playing in bands and orchestras and working with the aforementioned programs

[rosseatsleepjdm]

@JustJoshinMagic yeah yeah yeah hes been played on radio 1 and shit but youve been in a band so therefore clearly disregarding the fact i also have musical experience, you MUST be correct. id like to hear Walt's conclusion to all this. oh and just cus youve already mentioned the computer programs doesnt mean you can then use yourself as a reference. i think he used 'classical troll samplez' to make all his stuff, i have 100 years experience with said program therefore i win
