    Honestly, some sections of this sound better than the studio recordings that were in the movie. The entire brass section of the President's Own is just mind blowingly good.

      I've been wondering, what if for Episode VIII the music was recorded by THIS Band? Nah, it could not happen - or could it??

      With strings from all over, that might be the best possible orchestra.

      @elders30 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Mind you when the soundtrack was recorded for some of the Star wars movies, recording equipment wasn't as good as it is now. Either way this Orchestra combined with a full string section would be one of the best orchestras i've listened to live and online

      It takes a lot of practice because it took me several months to get the horn solo down and I still crack hard sometimes. Just takes a lot of time, which is to be expected. Quarantine does weird stuff to freshmen, now sophomore in HS, like playing this when I have nothing better to do in my life lol.
