One thing I notice whenever an orchestra performs a rock band's music is just how poorly a sung melody of a rock song translates to symphonic reinterpretation. It just always sounds awkward, the pattern of notes is just so much more linear and repetitive than what we're used to hearing an orchestra play.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice arrangement though. Have you heard Symphonic Theater of Dreams?
Not yet; I guess I'm slipping a bit.
