Through the Fire and Flames: String Quartet Version

13/06/2010: WOW! Over 10.000 view, i never expected that much. Thanks for all the feedback and thanks for watching it. I'm going to try to make another arrangement soon, i just need some musicians ;)

____________________________________________
In class "Arrangement & Composition" we got the task to either write a song for a string quartet ( that's violin x2, viola x1 & cello x1) OR arrange an already excisting song into notes for the string quartet.

I chose the song "Through the Fire and Flames" by the awsome speed-metal band "Dragonforce".

I didn't turn out as i expected it too, but i'm still very satisfied (considering this isn't my strongest subject).

The end of the video is a little off because i removed the audio from the video and replaced it with the actual recorded audio from the microphones.

So Please: ENJOY! :D

På "Arrangering & Komposition" så fick vi i uppgift att antingen skriva en låt till en stråk-kvartett (fiol x2 viola x1 & cello x1) ELLER göra ett arr (arrangemang) på en redan existerande låt.

Jag valde låten "Through the Fire and Flames" med speed-metalbandet Dragonforce. Det blev inte riktigt som jag hade tänk mig men ändå rätt bra med tanke på att noter inte är mitt starkaste ämne.

Slutet på videon är lite off eftersom att jag tagit bort ljudet från filmen och lagt in det inspelade ljudet från mikrofonerna.

ENJOY! :D

@EmilyElizabeth1987 Yeah i put the camera kinda off haha, and she was the most professional of the 4 :P

Great playing, but I dindt like so much the arrangement.. there are some parts there are big gaps(i dunno if the singer sings in that part because I dont know the original music, if he sings, the violin could do that melody..Its a thing that I would write in the sheet)

[Museofchaz]

@gabrieloni I agree with you sir/madam. I'm a little disappointed that they only got to practise the song (based on my arrangement) a few times so they didn't really get the hang of it all in that short time. Also I left out the song because the plan was from the beginning to add a singer, record timpani (!) and some other percussion to replace drums, but as the recording was a slight failure in my eyes I just skipped it completely.

That was bad ass.

@EmilyElizabeth1987 She's a woman, so it'd be inappropriate to show her out of her natural habitat of the kitchen.

My ears literally started to bleed ... from teh epicness

Nice arrangement, I LOVE IT!!! Although, at parts the actual tune "Through the fire and flames" gets lost... it jumps back in at times, this is almost a piece of it's own with themes from TTFAF... I still love it!!

@Museofchaz Was she making a sandwich?

[meskalinmaskin]

@Museofchaz i see how you feel it was somewhat of a failure as the recording is way to centred and what not. if this would have been worked on a bit more, with those added timpani and vocals it would have been great. good work overall anywho.

If you started listening at 0:55 and nobody told you it was through the fire and the flames I doubt you would be able to guess it...where was the melody?
