guyz, what's the title of that track the one played in the beginning of this vid??

i badly wanna know that title. :(((((((((

[PhilharmoniaLondon]

@PjGalapatz The music at the beginning of the video is from Combat Five Star Winter, Stage 4 of the game.

@thetheatreofmadness It could be because it's nice music, to a lot of people. I don't like these particular games but the music for them has been pretty amazing in my opinion, surpassing the film scores in recent years. Besides,who are you to decide what's good and bad music?

@thetheatreofmadness I happen to like this composer. People like this are bringing orchestral music to a new audience and all you can do is moan about it.Good job elitists like you don't run orchestras.

@TheMrMan221 It's Track 40. Bellatrix (HP7 Videogame Soundtrack)

[lucaspotter2010]

@TheMrMan221 It's from the Deathly Hallows P1 Videogame

Track: 40. Bellatrix

[lucaspotter2010]

@PhilharmoniaLondon I don't think so, I downloaded the Soundtrack of Deathly Hallows P1 Videogame and that track is called: 34. Trap

[PjGalapatz]

i really appreciate the composers!

but it is sad to know that people nowadays only appreciate the artists, not the composer.
