The crescendo at the end of "The Shape of Things to Come" (the opera house music) we waited years for. When it finally happens it is so bitter sweet. Just sublime.
The composer who set the tone of this series was named Richard Gibbs, who was also from a band named Oingo Boingo. You may recognize this name. The superbly talented composer named Danny Elfman was the founder of that band. He is a legend in his own right. After the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, Bear McCreary took over the reins of the musical motifs of the show and scored basically every episode. The most recognizable sound imo is the use of piano as a bass instrument in a rhythmic pattern that resembles everything from metal, to minimalism. Phillip Glass is an obvious influence as well. The lower 3 octaves of a grand piano were used incredibly well. The "war drums" sound is perfect. Bear McCreary is also responsible for some very epic ballads and lullaby style music that were used in the show. He oversaw orchestras and simplified music to a core form in simple pieces such as Passacaglia. Bear McCreary also studied under the masterful composer by the name of Leonard Bernstein. If I remember correctly, he was literally his apprentice. McCreary helped Bernstein transcribe and preserve his lifetime of cinematic work in painstaking detail. In other words: this is some of the best music ever created in my lifetime, and in my opinion. This comment took me 10 minutes to properly edit. That is my level of respect for this beautiful mastery of time, space and sound.
Mr McCreary is one of the most talented young composers of his generation (if not THE most). His blending of Eastern and Western influences is fluid and effortless. At only 45, I anticipate great things. It seems to me heaven itself is paying attention.

2022 now. The Grand Old Lady is my daughter's ringtone. Trust me, BSG fans, it's appropriate. I have all four seasons on disc, and still play them religiously. So say we all!
Discovered Bear Mc Creay 20 years ago during Battlestar Galactica and immediately felt in love with his music. Happy to have found this recording that I didn't know. Years have passed since and Bear demonstrated all the greatness he is capable of, he's now playing almost in the league of people like John williams and Ennio Moriconne. And, lucky me, he will be touring close to my hometown in 2025, playing twice in 5 days in 2 different setup (and he confirmed on X that he will play some BSG stuff).
Thank you for posting this symphonic orchestration of Battlestar Galactica conducted by none other than the great one, Bear McCreary himself! Such beautiful music, powerful and graceful all at the same time. And thank you Spain for recording it!
The BSG series was extremely lucky to hit home on so many points, especially the music. What an amazing homage to McCreary and the music. Blueray, please?
As a hip hop r and b lover. There is something VERY INTRINSIC ABOUT A ORCHESTRA. ITS A GREAT CAREER. ITs a trip how the conductor looks like he is just twirling a stick but its something more deep about it to the orchestra. Like hand signals from a aviation boatswains mate on a aircraft carrier.
41:38 that’s the intro. 47:32 this peace is so fraking good. 59:32 followed by this as well god dam. 1:04:12 this is beautiful. 1:09:40 the hits just keep coming. 1:13:52 and of course why not.
I hosted some of this concert on my channel for a few years, glad somebody found the full concert and hopefully it won't get struck. Now I finally get to see the rest of it, Disapraio Oratio looking forward too.

Is it me or is the audio only monophonic? I am not feeling a sense of stereophonic depth & width. Also, I wish Bear also incorporated the famous main theme from Classic original BSG as a homage, perhaps as the outro or an encore, since they also used that theme in the reimagined series at one point. There is no reimagined 2003 series to exist if it was not for the original. I am a fan of both series. There is now rumor of a 3rd BSG remake/reboot/continuation coming along, headed by Sam Esmail. 05/21/24

Not to sound stupid, but I can't remember what language she is singing? For some reason I think it is either hindu or Gaelic, but I'm probably wrong. Any help please.
Seems that some microphones are not even on... the music sounds incomplete; too loud from some instruments whilst too weak from other.. sorry, not for me,
Yeah. Not only that, it sounded like some of the Bassists were either off their timing, or their audio pickups were not working and their audio was picked up from somewhere else, throwing out the timing entirely.
beautiful and inspirational music-27000 views...a lame ass tik tok video showing a girl and guy fighting over a remote control-over a million views...as a nation we r fucked!
Thing of Beauty. And to anyone who missed this program or soundtrack, All this has happened before and will happen again.
Well hopefully the nuclear apocalypse won't happen again :(
The entire work on BSG is a musical gift to those who have ears to appreciate!!!
Happening for me right now in 2023
I have a feeling this time will be different. I believe that's what Angel Six says.
NEEERRRRRRD lol
Over a decade later, and this OST and series still moves me to my core.
So Say We All

@@liberalsockpuppet4772 I am such a tool regarding BSG-Passacaglia. That song is so goddamned beautiful.
@@liberalsockpuppet4772 Since I basically annoyed dafuq out of you with my words: 15:18
That is the Passacaglia.
@@py_a_thon this level of dedication reminds me of Don Davis and PhD dissertation written about his soundtrack to the Matrix

Battlestar Galactica's concerts are groupement of amazingly talented artists.
_So say we all._
I've seen a few concert versions of Battlestar Galactica, but this is absolutely the best concert.👍
Perfection on the highest order. Left speachless. Nothing else to say
Prelude to war was a great song I love hearing it while I played Battlestar Galactica online, as a Strike Viper pilot!
Fracking agree!
another BSGO player checking in! o7
-Chrisdude (US server/Scorpia)
@@rem_92899 I was probably one the top twenty most hated player of the Cylones so hello, from a fellow BSGO pilot!
This fracking music... it's coming from the ship
Love this so much. I wish there was a high-def full concert put out by Bear!

beautiful tear was shed during Wander my friends. Thank you
me the same
I got chills up my spine. You wouldn't even have to watch the show to feel the emotion of this song. Wow!
I wasn't ready for that emotion
Awesome. Would have loved to see this live back in the day. Thanks for sharing.
The passacaglia is one of the most gorgeous pieces of music I have ever experienced.
what a soundtrack, what a show, nothing like it since
Thank you for posting this symphonic orchestration of Battlestar Galactica conducted by none other than the great one, Bear McCreary himself! Such beautiful music, powerful and graceful all at the same time. And thank you Spain for recording it!
Love this - always loved the soundtrack but this is the first time listening to a comprehensive compilation!
I miss them all so much...
So say we all.
Tanto tempo procurando por esse vídeo!!! Thanks!
47:31 - WANDER MY FRIENDS - One of my favorites.
So say we all.
oh those vocals! I am literally losing myself in them!
The BSG series was extremely lucky to hit home on so many points, especially the music. What an amazing homage to McCreary and the music. Blueray, please?
Gelmiş geçmiş en iyi film müziği.
This is brilliant. And truly so for "Diaspora Oratorio" and "The Shape of Things to Come"
This is fucking amazing!!!
Thanks for sharing
Espectacular
It's in the frakking ship!
What a frakkin' genius
BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I want more... should say it all.
Wow this Prelude to War ending, Super Epic !
A nightmare comes true and you aught to watch hanger 1

i didn`t even know this existed! oh yeeaahhh!!
Not the 1978 soundtrack by Stu Phillips and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. This is the soundtrack from the 2004 Remake series.
thank you!
I'm thankful to the uploader for this vid. I wish someone would upload a hifi version. Or maybe it's just the poor sound stage acoustics
thahts brilliant ! i am speechless ! thank you !
Why do i have battlestar galactica in my dvd player and this poped up in the you tube algorhythm?
Wander... wander, my friends...
I hosted some of this concert on my channel for a few years, glad somebody found the full concert and hopefully it won't get struck.
Now I finally get to see the rest of it, Disapraio Oratio looking forward too.
Gandalf meets Mozart.
Pure genius.
Awesome
1:12:09 that grin :)
By the lords of kobol, So say we all.
The strings sure got a a workout
Is it possible that there will be another concert like this in the future?
This be perfect to go watch in my home city. We have a concert hall that puts on live shows regularly. I’d love to attend this.
And this is my wife makes fun at me for weeping at live concerts
That one dude is becoming a pufferfish
ЕБАТЬ ЭТО МУЗЫКА 2009 ГОДА - ее до сих пор с фонарем не сыщешь !
Your not the only one and I miss the original as well, cause it's my yarns of nightmares starting in the Fall till feduary.
Wow....its ALOT THAT GOES INTO A "SCORE".FOR TELEVISION AND MOVIES.
I wish Gaeta's lament could be included in these performances. So say me all.
Best composer next to john Williams
Check out Joe Hisaishi(Japan) and Danny Elfman(Murica).
They both have music that is absurdly beautiful.
Now that we know of Leviticus and everything about quifuan labes and the mount of olives and what is under them what aught we do?
Beautiful work by McCreary. As an aside, I really like the music that played during the ending credits...what was that?
The title is on the credits. Check it out.

They needed bigger drums.
