Fantasia's Firebird (Rescored)

Sorry Igor ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky) but I couldn't resist the temptation.

My music with Disney's Firebird from Fantasia

In the video area (below the music)

I started this Saturday and finished it up tonight (Tuesday).

    I seemed to have worked on the worst copy of this found on youtube. I can't believe how crappy the vid is compared to others there. In time I hope to make this fit to a better copy of the video.

    Thanks guys

    Ron your music is quite extraordinary.   Not sure it's perfectly married to the video but it is quite an experience to sit back and listen to.

    It is just my musical interpretation of the video. I did my best to try to get all of the cues that I wanted to work right with the music.

    On a plus note, I did download a much better copy of the video and put my music to that one instead of the crappy one. I also tried to fix one little section that I hated but didn't mess with due to tempo reasons. I left the tempo alone and worked within those constraints.

    Thanks

    Impressive work.

    I'm reminded about a story that jazz guitarist Al Viola told.  Studio musicians were getting upset that a guys with a synth was getting all the work of a bunch of studio musicians.  At a session where the brought in an big orchestra one of the musicians stood up and said: "This is awful, were putting a couple of synth guys out of work!"

    It's easy to see why.  Amazing stuff.  Great material too.

    Kudos!

    Man... that water nymph sure did make the fire guy mad! But she got revenge in the best way.

    Very nice.

    Amazing stuff, Ron!

    I almost jumped out of my chair when the Firebird opened its eyes
    and the toms came in

    Outstanding work Ron...

    great stuff Ron, nice to hear you in a longer piece, of course your work suits video very well.

    i'd have to say i found the percussion too loud in relation to the rest of the instruments when the volcano scene kicks in, maybe tone it down a little there? when we get more later it's not as overwhelming.

     otherwise only other thing i'd like would be a theme, a hook, something i could hum a little afterwards, i know that's not your style really. that said, some of the string scoring for the water nymph is delightful and indeed, quite Stravinskian! (almost like an organ at times).

    i will have to listen again on my DAW rather than the laptop to get a better listen, but jeez man, you have some serious ability.

    Thanks Rick for the second go around!

    Mark

    I do hope you give it a try on your DAW. I think the percussion will make a lot more sense there than on your laptop.

    What's a theme?   Aren't those parks?

    Thanks guys
