The Ride Of The Valkyries by Richard Wagner

This is my digital arrangement of the high-energy can-can from Offenbach’s operetta Orpheus in the Underworld. This festive, quirky music is bound to lift even the most dreary of spirits.

All parts were recorded using EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra.

Here's a link to the YouTube video of the same arrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNnYPka8qTc

This is the music of a popular American science fiction television serial dating from the late 70’s. The music composed by Glenn A. Larson and Stewart Philips sounds a little bit familiar, as it seems somewhat similar to the music written by John Williams for the Star Wars films. Lieutenant Starbuck (Dirk Benedick) and Captain Apollo (Richard Hatch) fought against the ' Cyclons ' (robots looking like humans) and went through lot of fantastic adventures with their ' Vipers '. Henk Ummels selected some fine tunes of the soundtrack music.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Piano Version) - Tchaikovsky, Nutcracker

The 'Waltz of the Flowers' from Tchaikovsky's esteemed ballet 'The Nutcracker', appears towards the end of the second act. Attention can be drawn to the melodious cadenza of the harp, then to the horns that eventually make way into the riveting melody of the strings.
