MAURICE RAVEL ~ Bolero
(Radio Symphony Orchestra Ljubljana - Direttore Samo Hubad)

Boléro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubenstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.[2] Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled 
dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more 
mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

Wanted to do a version like this for a while but was unsure how to 'frame' it. I just thought "Composers like to sample a lot of stuff, I wonder if anyone has ever sampled a composer?". Stems used: Brass, Percussion, Solo Vocal, Piano/Bell/Harp, Trumpet. As well as using the original stems, I've replayed the musical ideas using different sounds too - whether or not you happen to notice them amongst the chaos, I don't know! :)

Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights EWQL Orchestration

My brother and me were playing around with Hans Zimmers melodies. Finally this very special Suite was the result :) Cinematic Youtube-Version: http://youtu.be/lYwB1KCE3So

The idea was to combine different Hans Zimmer Sondtracks. And it worked surprisingly good :D For Example the "Davy Jones" Theme fits perfect to the Dark Knight Score. Check it out and please give us a feedback :)
