@koopatroopaxo I was there on the mezzanine balcony of the Hult Center. It took all the self-restraint I had to avoid bursting out and singing the lyrics fortissimo.
these guys are imaculate with all the other game themes they do, especially the Zelda theme, but for this one i have to go with the Black Mages!! Cause i love the guitars they add in(just my opinion.)
Why is this orchestration so meanigful? I'll tell you why. This game wasn't just a game it was a journey.....we all "lived" Cloud's emotions; from his happy childhood memories to his bitter anger towards Sephiroth for killing Aries. So when this final battle was fought this music filled it with an over powering madness. We all battled Sephiroth as if we were truly saving the planet....we all were filled with this rage to destroy this evil enity once and for all.
I somewhat disagree. i think that ff7 is amazing, but more for the cinematic elements. don't go responding that i "must not have gotten the story", because i did. i just think that ff8 and chrono cross(in my opinion the two greatest games of all time, chrono cross leading) had better plot development and stronger emotions flying around. chrono cross had some ridiculous characters, but they were optional, and (i will continue this in another comment.. damn 500 character limit!)
and (in continuation of my last comment) throughout chrono cross serge is obligated to continue his journey, but is crushed by a gripping fear of a vision coming true in which he kills his own best friend, smiles, then kills himself. throughout the game serge must push himself to complete a journey that he knows he will not survive. following this, (SPOILERS) serge and the entire party are killed halfway through the game, and he's reborn in the body of the main villain. (again, i'm not finished)
one of the most important masterpiece of gaming music history. One thing I wish is that the chorus could have been more explosive with text and hence would enhance the drama.
@ardjoena I actually participated in the choir once in Stockholm and the piece is arranged in the way that the orchestra is supposed to play very expressive and forte, even during our parts, and it's really hard for the choir to get through. An idea would be to use a bigger choir with maybe 70< singers. And we also started rehearsing the songs about a week before the concert...they tend to focus on the orchestra.
A reasonable conclusion, but I'm sure there's a percentage(possibly a large one) that just plays the sheet music given to them. I mean, a job is a job, and as musicians they wouldn't turn down work if they didn't know where the music came from, nor is there a preference for gamers... if only there was. = )
While I agree, Kefka still deserves his props. Sephiroth destroyed only a few cities. (Two by his hand, and another as side affect of his/Cloud's actions) and yet Kefka destroyed the entire world he inhabited leaving it all to be rebuilt.
that doesn't sound like the original choir not even like the one in the movie anyways i rather the rock version it makes my body shiver besides when they play the other version nobuo is always in the keyboard. he is the master
OMG... I was there... I only wish I had brought a camera, I did however have my mp3 player and I have the entire Symphony on CD... I loved the entire thing. I want another one to come... I wish I couldve met Yoko Shimomura at the one in Detroit.
Have listened a lot to the recorded orchestra version, and I must say this version was a breath of fresh air:D The tempo makes it sound really intense!And the conductor is doing a great job...THANK YOU for downloading this!
classic soundtrack but i feel it was a touch too fast here. it lost some of its ominous 'harhar ima cast supernova and watch you die slowly while you shit yourselves' feeling. bit slower and itd be fine. 4/5 for the song at least :)
i expected the correct words to be sung instead of the wrong ones. It doesnt deliver the message "Burning Inside with violent anger" quite as accurately. In fact that single small part took me out of the song entirely.
Dear gods they butchered that! None of it sounded right, music was too fast, lyrics were just stuffed. I went to the Concert in Sydney and when the orgstra here did the song it sounded perfect.
The Eminence Symphony's performance lacked the "UMPH" that makes this song as powerful as it is, PLAY!'s on the other hand did not. You can hear many times in Eminence's performance they had to quiet some instruments so that other ones could be heard, they did not have the proper balance to do the song correctly. Both performances are amazing no matter what though, its amazing to hear this "come to life"
how can anyone lie the eminence symphony's one better? I was at Play! and can tell you that this was one of the most fantastic things I've ever heard (and that's saying something as I'm into classical).
I liked this version a lot better than the Eminence symphony. This video has low sound quality, but I find the choir with much more strength, and also the metallic instruments do a better job. Some things were done better by the Eminence symphony, but overall I prefer this one.
For Those of you who love Play! and want to see it come to Atlanta i sent them an email asking if they'd play at the fox..they said to me tha i must encourage everyone i know to send mail to the Atlanta Symphony to play the music..so please people in Atlanta send them the message and get Play! to come to ATL!!!
umm..the conductor is in time with the ensemble. The conductor keeps everyone on the same time since many individuals don't count exactly the same..he also cues instruments and keeps dynamics standard in the ensemble
well whatever u guys can say, i can tell you this conductor knows his job... left hand is not supposed to be in tune since it is used to give orders to instrument players.
Anyway those that like final fantasy, why don t you just watch something else? are you masochistic or just retards that have time to lose?
I agree but I think you'd be hard pressed getting your country to dump the current national anthem. I myself think the US can do MUCH better than "Hail to the Chief".
Actually the lyrics are correct. They're singing the original lyrics from the game, not the lyrics from the version of "One Winged Angel" made for Advent Children.
Its Sephiroth's theme music. Te man that made a storm at his very presence. Come on now you tell me. Not to mention he is one of the greatest twisted minds of Square~Enix :P
The standing ovation after this piece lasted for what felt like several minutes. I don't know if the orchestra was just really pumped after seeing everyone's reaction or what, but when Arnie Roth turned to face them again and everyone realized they were gonna be playing it a second time, wow! They really went all out and the encore was just unbelievable. You could really tell everyone was giving it their all, and it just had that much more "oomph". The whole night was just unbelievable.
This is a cool song,but it is not the greatest piece of music like some FF fans declare. It isn't even orchestrated in the game. It is a synthesized orchestra. It is a cool song for a video game and a sign that games can eb artistic too, but far from the works of Beethoven and such.
Always pleased to see and hear different versions of this score-Kinda hard to believe that Nobuo Uematsu was never formally trained to write for full orchestra, eh? I guess he's just a genius. XD
omg... before I die I HAVE TO SEE ONE OF HIS LIVE CONCERTS!!! I MUST!!!!the performance was great but I can say the same for the choir but oh well... everything was great!
The chorus did not sing it right. I've done this piece three times already, once for Dear Friends in Detroit, Play! in Detroit, and recently Play! in Toronto. Their pronouciations are off. Other than that they were good. Not blended too well. The guys stuck out, one guy in particular.
Umm about the choir singing wrong... what makes you think they didn't practice many times before getting to the stage, and whether or not Uematsu-san himself provided some direction.
go find a midi, and the lyrics and arrange the parts. Watch this clip a billion times if you want to get the correct notes for each instrument. Thats what i would do.
lol you'd have to pay Square-Enix if you wanted the full orchestra score-which would cost a fortune. ;) However, there is a free version that was modified for band in A minor. Just google One Winged Angel for Band.
and once you find out you definitely need to tell me too, because i've been looking for FFVII orchestral scores for a while but turned up with nothing, thanks.
Ok... just to clear things up... this is the original score because I know that as a fact and I am one of the musicians who played the original score. The only reason it may sound slightly different from the game or the movie is because it is synthed for the game and mixed down for the movie.
Anyways good piece, wished i couldve played it, the low brass part isnt that hard. I was like woah when the cellos almost sounded like an electric guitar. Anyways, good work. I wish to join an orchestra some day.
when i meany by instrumentation i meant that the sound was very good, and that you can realy feel the heaviness of the quarter notes in the beggining. Plus it sounded very much like the OWA in FF7:AC, well at least the beggining and 7/8 time was
The choir sang it wrong because i dont think a lot of them have heard FF songs. Although it was played faster, it was played in an acceptable range. Instrumentation was very good.
The choir seems to be mispronouncing the first line of the chorus section, "Estuans interius." During the "venni venni" verse, the choir was to high, as the actual track recording used the deeper baritone and bass choirmen.
My choir is joining them in Dayton at the end of March. We're singing this, so I'm looking it up to see how we can improve.

The choir sung it right, for this was the original One Winged Angel, not the Advent one.

Umm about the choir singing wrong... what makes you think they didn't practice many times before getting to the stage, and whether or not Uematsu-san himself provided some direction.

where the hell do i get the original score for that? i'm trying to find it for my orchestra to play with the choir and the band.

go find a midi, and the lyrics and arrange the parts. Watch this clip a billion times if you want to get the correct notes for each instrument. Thats what i would do.

lol you'd have to pay Square-Enix if you wanted the full orchestra score-which would cost a fortune. ;) However, there is a free version that was modified for band in A minor. Just google One Winged Angel for Band.

and once you find out you definitely need to tell me too, because i've been looking for FFVII orchestral scores for a while but turned up with nothing, thanks.

This was an excellent performance. Too bad there's no video of the BattleField music, it was incredible as well.

Ok... just to clear things up... this is the original score because I know that as a fact and I am one of the musicians who played the original score. The only reason it may sound slightly different from the game or the movie is because it is synthed for the game and mixed down for the movie.

Anyways good piece, wished i couldve played it, the low brass part isnt that hard. I was like woah when the cellos almost sounded like an electric guitar. Anyways, good work. I wish to join an orchestra some day.

What you mean Instrumentation was good?
This is the original SE official scores version...
seraphim1981 5 years ago
when i meany by instrumentation i meant that the sound was very good, and that you can realy feel the heaviness of the quarter notes in the beggining. Plus it sounded very much like the OWA in FF7:AC, well at least the beggining and 7/8 time was

The choir sang it wrong because i dont think a lot of them have heard FF songs. Although it was played faster, it was played in an acceptable range. Instrumentation was very good.

why on earth are they singin "estoo siferooo" instead of "Estuan interius"? The Chorus in Stockholm was way better than this

The choir seems to be mispronouncing the first line of the chorus section, "Estuans interius." During the "venni venni" verse, the choir was to high, as the actual track recording used the deeper baritone and bass choirmen.

Hm. I wonder why they replaced Estuans Interius. Sounds a bit like the AC version.
