An orchestrated Ninja Turtles theme!!!

*GoldMutant* · 04-21-2015, 11:16 AM

I had an idea that for a credits theme one day should be a full orchestrated version of the Ninja Turtles theme. Sure enough, this is what I get, a three year old video involving the classic theme.

I must ask, what do you guys think of this orchestrated piece? Also, would you want to see this piece of work used?

It gets a big "A" for effort, but the classic theme doesn't sound right as an orchestral (symphonic) piece. A contemporary - heavy metal maybe - arrangement might work better.

Although this remix is great, if there is no other orchestral composition I can find that fits the classic theme, I'd agree with a rock version being better.

Heard it a few years ago. I don't think it works. The original theme is very much a product of it's era, it's cheesy 80's stuff. It sounds badass when in its element, synths layered with vocal stacks & funky sound effects. As an orchestral arrangement you only get the corny melody, none of the pizazz. It was done well, though, don't get me wrong.

It's good, but I agree with Powder.
