March to the scaffold

[DavidK]

Featuring our very own Mixmkr, guitarists to the stars, on geetar. Only MM could pull off something like this, I was thrilled to do this with a feller like him.

THis is a work in progress, I have kind of hit a creative wall. Any suggestions will be welcomed and very needed.

As always:

Dont try this at home kids.

March to the scaffold

Music was originally by Berlioz until we ruined it.

Kind of a military symphony going on here - cool. Very effective use of the horns and the rolling drums and other percussion. The arrangement is fantastic - with the various instruments coming in and out of the mix.
Top notch playing on all instruments - keys, violin, guitar, et al. Good collab Mixmkr and DavidK.....enjoyed this.....

Thanks fellers. This is the story:

This music is "programme music", it means something. This is part of a long symphony, the 4th mvmt.

Earlier, the protagonist kills his beloved ( Berlioz wrote this on opium). This is him being marched to the guillotine, the happy march music= people on the street. At the end, the solo clarinet reminds him of his lover, then you hear the guillotine slide down. The four notes in the strings symbolize his head falling in the basket and the crowd cheers.

Most excellent guys....this is cool. Very big, and grand sounding. I can't say much else. Very nice. To me, nothing is out of place. Great tones, and nice choice of notes. Very nice meld of some classical sounds, and a modern rock guitar. Pomp, Circumstance, and Crunch.

[SHEPPARDB.]

Excellent work guys!

[DavidK]

Thanks guys for checkin this out

I am greatly inspired... this is powerful, balanced, and smooth as a 12 cylinder jaguar.

Knowing the story made me chuckle when I heard the head bounce into the basket. Great job.

Nice job guys. That's pretty cool.

You should do some Christmas songs and come up with a catchy name like the Tranny Librarian Orchestra
