That's sounding good! I'm a composer myself and I always thought since I was like 16 that I wanted to make the credit's theme orchestrated for my funeral haha
That last paragraph always confused me. If Dracula came back every one hundred hears, and Simon Belmont gets called upon “once again” to destroy Dracula, has Simon Belmont been dead for one hundred years too and I’m playing an undead version of Simon? This thought, as a 9 year old, made this game so much better for me.
That's an excellent point. Did Simon acquire some kind of extended lifespan at the end of CV2, maybe? I haven't looked into the canon of that game, so maybe. But I really like your idea here. Why can't the Belmonts have the same resurrection magic as ol' Drac? It would also explain why the Belmonts are never just turned into vampires.
@@RedSpade37They don't have that same power because some of Dracula's powers come from the entity known as Chaos. His ability to resurrect through human malice is one of those powers bestowed upon him by Chaos.
They misplaced the Period after Countryside, should of been after "Once Again" Period... Then start the Paragraph with Simon Belmont, if that makes sense...
Yes, it was a mistranslation from the Japanese version as the previous poster alluded to. Simon Belmont was only called upon once in his generation. Well, technically twice, but that was only a couple of years apart for castlevania 1 and 2. Basically, Super Castlevania IV is sort of a retelling of Castlevania 1 on NES.
It keeps getting more sublime every time I hear it. Definitely better than the original, and that’s saying something considering how amazing the original is.
Exactement, en mieux, déjà que le morceau original on dirai que c'est la résonnance de tout l'Univers et de tout les Multivers c'est je dirai même plus grand que l'Omnivers tout entier, ce morceau c'est Dieu et toute la franchise Castlevania aussi 🙏🏻
My top 5 Dracula's themes: 1.- prologue/Dance of the Holy man (Super Castlevania IV) 2.- Overture/Big battle (Castlevania III) 3.- Sons of Satan (Castlevania 2 Belmont's revenge) 4.- Dance of illusions (Rondo of Blood) 5 Nothing to lose/Black night (Castlevania)
Hi! I just want to say that your interpretation is my personal favorite. It keeps the dark and ominous atmosphere of the theme. The other ones are also really good in technical terms, but none in my opinion matches the terrifying concept of having to defeat the literal incarnation of evil. Great work.
This is a perfect adaptation. You elevated the original. If not for hardware limits it would sound like this and you captured it and we get enjoy because of you. What i am trying to say simply is: fucking wonderful job dude. thank you for making this.
This is definitely the best orchestration I've heard so far. I especially love the 1:50 transition that you borrowed from the second theme without outright copying it. It relieves tension without "spoiling" it. Replacing the english horn? Bassoon? on the second theme with the horn section was a really good decision too--it really makes you feel that peril of witnessing an old evil come to life. My only real gripe might be how muddy the organ gets, but that might just be a VST thing. It didn't need to be the epic Hans Zimmer ostinato kind of thing that a lot of mainstream composers like to do and you showed what you could do without it. A lot of people seem to think that an intro to an action game should make us feel excited to kick the bad guy's ass, but Dracula was always meant to symbolize something deep and perverse within ourselves that we can only face with the greatest courage. I think what people forget about the original series is that Dracula is equal parts tragic and terrifying, both an object of horror and of pity. Of all the renditions, this doesn't lose sight of that feeling.
Thank you! Appreciate your comments. I agree, the organ does get lost in the mix, and drove me crazy while mixing. I ultimately just decided to let it go, as it sounded more natural letting it get lost at times. Giving it more prominence in the mix made it more monotonous and ostinato-y, which is fine in the original mix, but didn't work as well with more realistic sounds and a natural hall setting.
Im 44 years old. I was a teenager during the Super Nintendo era. Super Castlevania 4 has been dear to my heart ever since. This Dracula theme has always been my favorite of the Castlevania series. I'll never forget the first time i turned the game on and heard this. It stuck with me! This has to be the best rendition of this song i have ever heard. Well done man! I'm floored! 👏
Dude, same here. This comment actually sounded so much like me that I thought this came from some doppleganger(40)'s keyboard (pun intended, haha!) 😆 Well, only 42 years tbh
got chills around the 2 minute mark when the chorus entered. i hope we can see a properly remade version that captures the awe and dark, and sublime atmosphere of the original.
This song always gave me mixed emotions. It sounds like it will be an epic final showdown theme like many before but it actually takes a somber and depressing tone which is imo what makes this theme stand out when compared to say, Ridleys Theme from Metroid or Bowser from Mario Bros. And this remix stayed true to that feeling, cheers to you. 🤜🤛
Increíble adaptación para la mejor BSO jamás escrita para un videojuego. Enhorabuena, creo esto es justo lo que tenía en la cabeza el compositor. FANTÁSTICO. 👏👏👏👏
Nice version, congratulations I made a multi tracked version using only a modular synth, like Wendy Carlos (started a "switched on super famicom" project, that I never finished, maybe someday...)
Imagine this theme playing when your fighting Dracula in a castlevania/dark souls cross over! Would be brilliant!! And yes I have been hoping and praying for a dark souls castlevania collaboration for ages!

Best Dracula battle music in the series and I hated the fact it was never used in its entirety ever again in any another castlevania game!

1.- prologue/Dance of the Holy man (Super Castlevania IV)
2.- Overture/Big battle (Castlevania III)
3.- Sons of Satan (Castlevania 2 Belmont's revenge)
4.- Dance of illusions (Rondo of Blood)
5 Nothing to lose/Black night (Castlevania)
They overused the Rondo of Blood one that it became annoying.
They should have used this theme more often in the series.
Yeah, they briefly alluded to it in one of the tracks in Lament of Innocence, but the full track is legendary.
