What game music should my orchestra play? YOU decide!

[dicai]

Anything from Shadow of The Colossus (by Kow Otani), I personally like "Revived Power"

 

[HT_Black]

I respectfully recommend the themes from Deus Ex and Halo: Combat Evolved, as well as the stellar "Above the Treetops" from Dark Void.

 

[Jdopus]

Some of Frank Klepacki's stuff should work well. He's the chap who writes the Command and Conquer Soundtracks and those games have damn fine music




Play Hell March and just have some of the Red Alert Opening cutscenes running.

 

[skips]

 

[x434343]

Baba Yetu, from Civilization.

 

[direkiller]

or something else from WC

 

[crepesack]

A friend an I are arranging U.N. Owen was her? from TouHou EoSD for four hand piano, violin and cello and viola. I'll be giving out the sheets for free after we are done....(finished violin and piano so far)

 

[Blemontea]

This

Spoiler: Zelda

or This

Spoiler: SOTC

and you'll earn major point of awesome in my book

 

[Eumersian]

or something else from WC

That one sure brings me back.

 

[Agent_Nahmen_Jayden]

The theme from Traverse Town in Kingdom Hearts


Does that count?

 

[4484448444844484]

U.N. Owen Was Her? from Touhou. It's an awesome piece, and there are several orchestral versions.

Spoiler: Original version

Spoiler: Virus Key orchestral version

Spoiler: Gauche orchestral version

 

[captainwalrus]

Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI

Spoiler

Deus Ex Theme

Spoiler

Metal Gear Solid Theme

Spoiler

 

[0p3rati0n]

Spoiler: Safeguard from the Modern Warfare 2 Soundtrack

 

[Dango]

Well this is pretty orchestral...
Although failing that I just suggest the Halo theme.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

"Vampire Killer" from Castlevania.
I heard an orchestral version of this and about shit my pants how awesome it was...
Also take your pick from the Symphony of the Night Soundtrack.

And someone else already suggested it, so I second "One winged angel".

 

[direkiller]

or something else from WC

That one sure brings me back.

glad i was able to make you feel old

here is the opening track in all its epic glory

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Either or

 

[paragon1]

Just about any of the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack would be great.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Please preemptively note that I am linking both to the songs themselves and to example of Orchestrated arranges. Obviously, your school class will probably arrange it yourselves, but here ya' go anyway.

Spoiler

The Venerbale ancient Battlefield: Suwa Foughten Field.
It's from the 10th Touhou game, Mountain of Faith.

Here's the original.

Now here's the Orchestrated version done by circle Virus Key.

OR

Anything by circle WAVE on one of their most recent CD's, Symphonic Requiem "Purple heart."
http://vgmdb.net/album/20668
Here's are two song's from the CD.
Necrofantasia, from Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNFCyBPZcbo
Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When? (Also from PCB)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eAZdcUTk6M

Look, pretty much every single Touhou song has been arranged into something Orchestral at one point or another, so you can choose pretty much any song from the series.

Edit: Here's the originals for the two songs I posted by WAVE, in the same order as above.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=195XntreoMc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi_ZC_Hyhmo

Second Edit: Alright, this is my Truest and most final idea. It is also the one I support the most, because Orchestra plus Guitar is amazing.
The game? Touhou 8: Imperishable Night.
The song? Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
(Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETTk83qis0w)
The arrange? Immortal Terror.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dGJKh9hLTs

Yes.

I highly recommend this piece from Final Fantasy X.
