The Weekly Song [2/26 +]

[Ian Cordle]

I had an idea today that I decided to just go for and see how long I can run with it. I am going to be posting a song or group of songs every week (to the best of my ability) on this thread. As my presence on this forum has been based around sharing and expressing myself, I thought sharing some music I love would be something else I can do! If this seems to just end up being spam, I'll most certainly stop, but let's see how it goes!

I encourage you all to post a song in response to mine each day or tell me what you think about each song - I want to find new artists and songs too!

Title: U.N. Owen Was Her [The Death Waltz]
Artist: Unknown [Published by Team Shanghai Alice]
Notes: From the arcade-style video game, "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil"

The infamous Death Waltz. Most people don't know the background behind this song, and I have been obsessed with it for years. This song is so impossible to play on Piano that it has been deemed the "Death Waltz," even though the song's title is not the Death Waltz. The Death Waltz is actually a joke piece of sheet music that is incredibly humorous:

FTW I allways wondered how original ''death waltz'' looked tho this one seems pretty close to that

Quite listenable too.

Sounds like the typical guitar solo from Dragon Force

[Ian Cordle]

I prefer the original, but that's great as well. There are a few great versions out there.

Highlighting some of my favorite parts from "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz:"

• Based on a Cro-magnon skinning chant
  
• Rigatoni
  
• Cool timpani with small fan
  
• Light explosives... now and.... now
  
• cresc or not
  
• slap thigh
  
• If there is a 3rd Clarinet some Violins may go
  
• 788 BPM
  
• untie slipknot
  
• Like a New Orleans concertina choir
  
• remove cattle from stage
  
• release the penguins
  
• balance your chair on two legs
  
• continue "swimming" motion
  
• begin turning flame slightly higher and higher
  
• All harpists stand up and wait
  

But I find something new every time!

Some orchestral music, but my favorite classical sounding song. It's so upbeat and actually really nice to write or work to. Take a listen, and post some of your favorite orchestral music!

Excellent song choice, Ian! What a unique song. I love the conductor's way of conducting.

This is my all-time favorite orchestral piece: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ajQYANLiug

I completely forgot to mention that the conductor is the composer, Leonard Bernstein!
