Love Story and Lord of the Rings Arrangements
Added 2021-06-27 09:02:06 +0000 UTCOne of the things that I also sometimes do is arrange film scores into concert arrangements that then make it on the stages around the globe. In 2013 and 2014 I wrote two arrangements that were played several times over the last years and made it into this concert yesterday. LOVE STORY (Francis Lai) at 11:45 and RETURN OF THE KING (Howard Shore) at 1:04:30.
It's so great to see live music happening again and even better to see my arrangements being performed. Little trivia for the Lord of the Rings Suite: Officially, the suite was supposed to end with a soft ending of Into the West and then basically die away. I couldn't live with just not playing the Fellowship Theme that everybody has been waiting for even though it doesn't really belong into Return of the King. so I decided to write a transition (that I still like very much) into it and end the Suite with it and I still stand by my decision :)
Also, really wonderful performance by the Slovenska Philharmonia! It's worth watching the entire thing!
