Modern naval warfare loves its heavy percussion and brass. Lots and lots of brass. The deep tones hit by these kinds of instruments help convey the mind-boggling scale of modern naval engagements and the warships fighting them. Heavy drums for the thunder of guns. Blasting brass for the ring of shells striking steel. Kettle drums for machine gun fire but also to carry that feeling of the modern military cadence. If you're going to use strings, you're best off with a bassoon or cello or double-bass. The deep sounds all contribute to the scale of the piece. If you go with choirs, you'll want a deeper and more melancholic delivery, such as what you'd hear from a men's choir. World of Warships' soundtrack actually does an extremely good job with this. It's such a far cry from the music you'd associate with sailing warships, which tend to work best with strings and mixed or women's choirs. It is ultimately a more personal affair when your ships are small enough and combat range is short enough that the captains can literally lock eyes during a firefight. Violins or other high-voiced strings help build and maintain tension. You still might hear brass or heavy drums but they're not as prominent because the guns are smaller and oftentimes there is no metal armor on the ships to begin with to compliment the instruments. The choir here synergizes so well with the frantic actions of the crew and the prevalence of boarding actions during this age of naval warfare. I've been thinking a lot about the "language" of music and instrument choice lately, and how they relate to other things I like. What instruments convey what moods and feelings, what instruments pair well with what you're seeing or imagining, etc.
BB-59 USS Massachusetts Nicknamed Big Mamie (Laid down 20 July, 1939. Stricten from Naval registry 1 June, 1962.) Participated in 35 battles across both Atlantic and Pacific theaters Sunk 5 ships Downed 18 planes Endured Typhoon Cobra Awarded 11 battle stars *Never lost a stationed US sailor or Marine in combat.*
***endured typhoon cobra*** Oh you mean the act of God that did more damage to the US fleet than arguably any enemy action? (Depending on how you count sunk vs damage) Lucky ship
“Helms, get us information on the unknown ship 10 yards south.” Said the Admiral, donning himself in his war attire. Soon after, the sonar operator scrambled to the Admiral. “Sir, hostile 10 yards south confirmed. It’s closing in, fast.” Upon hearing this, the admiral was stunned. He alerted the Executive Officer which then bolted off to sound the GQ (General Quarters) alarm. All the men of the USS Nevada rushed to their station: gunners in the ready, sonar operators monitoring every move of the hostile ship, radio operators trying to communicate with the ship. Minutes after the alarm was sounded, a loud thud resounded in the engine room. A torpedo had collided into the ship! Water flowed everywhere in the engine room. Engineers and the ship maintenance crew fought against time to repair the damaged ship. Comment and like for part 2 :D
The first song here is not the same song at all as "The War" by Ender Guney, they are absolutely different in pitch and effects. That first one is some kind of "remix" or something that I can not find a link to.
