“They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting team”
After my Pokemon Theme for orchestra, I really was eager to tackle another part of my youth - the TMNT theme song.
The main issue I had with this is that the original is only 1 minute long. So I had a few options 1.) repeat it 3 times 2.) variations on a theme 3.) rearrange it and throw in a sweet solo. I chose 2, and I’m so happy with how this turned out.
As I write this Michael Bay announced the new TMNT movie, and I’m intrigued at the new plot idea. I’m not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
So I’m sitting here thinking about so many things. Remember the Nintendo NES videogame? Rafael was the worst. The movie? Shredder fell into a dump truck or something. The song? Who could forget. The arcade game? Amazing. This show basically took over my childhood, and dressing as Leonardo every Halloween.
As an arranger, I wanted this piece to be powerful like a ‘fighting team’ coming together to overcome a villain. That’s what this piece means to me - that if we’re ever going to fight a villain then we have to stick together, be fearless, and be willing.
omg XD
OMG, indeed! Holy crap, this is awesome! XD
So I’ll admit, I was skeptical over how this arrangement would turn out, and now I have been pleasantly surprised.
