Do you have some examples of this? I'm curious.

Locke and Key and Morbius were the two that came back-to-back.

Re: OP

[dinogrrl]

Either I'm not familiar with the piece used for Locke and Key or I'm watching the wrong trailer. The Morbius remix of Fur Elise definitely isn't the best classical music usage I've ever heard. So yeah, I can understand your frustration.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

The trailer I saw for Locke and Key used the Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Ah that would explain why it didn't jump to me, I'm not as familiar with Rachmaninoff. But I hear it now.

That was me, I have no idea why DW logged me out.

Preach! I don't like re-mixed versions of classical music either, be it for pop or for film music epic-ness.

I am in favor of adapting art for modern audiences in principle, though, and I love interesting new interpretations of classics. Duke Ellington's Nutcracker or Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Pictures at an Exhibition, for example. Hell, Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra or the shitpost that is Carnival of the Animals would not exist without it! My problem is purely with that specific style of adaptation: I generally don't like music that sounds like it was made on the computer. It always sounds cheap and gimmicky to my ears.

Are there any examples of pop- or epic-ified classics that you thought turned out well? I'm sure there must be, and I know I must have some that I like, I just can't think of any right now. :/ If you have some, please share! :D

Deodato's jazz arrangement of Also Sprach Zarathustra is nice. Jethro Tull's take on Bach is nice. For me, it's the particular style of movie-trailer arrangements that gets under my skin since they all end up up kinda samey. I don't feel much differentiation between how they arrange John Williams, Beethoven, or Fleetwood Mac for trailers.

I'll check those out, thank you!

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. Like the song doesn't matter, they just need any tune as a basis to slap a standard set of effect onto.

Do you write music arrangements?

sa

Sorry, didn't mean to pry. :)

I don't, I'm just an avid listener.
