⏩ Video Question: Have you played Halo? If not do you play any video games? I would love to meet you when I am live streaming games on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
greetings and love from germany again...well, i am not a big gamer...but i know and love the Halo theme....great that you give it a try.... i remember that my cousin had the ´Ping´ game console back in the seventies, and in the early eighties we played alot the "Atari VCS" and "Atari 2600", with games like Pitfall, Frogger, Moon Patrol...wow, brings back nostalgic memories...thank you and stay safe, buddy
@@justdave9610 thanx for your feedback...i´ve already checked that...great talents, but it didnt really touched me,,dont know excactly why, i guess its because i just love instruments so much...listening to strings, like cello or violine, a great piano....thats touched me deep, you know...great musicians like Liszt, Paganini, Lang Lang..ect....but my favorite is still the outstanding guitar skills of Mr. Gary Moore, damn..i saw him once live here in germany 1989...unforgetable expirience...i literaly die when i listen and watch his live performence of "The Messiah will come again" in Montreux 1990....unreal. th-cam.com/video/7k07j7LcLqw/w-d-xo.html
@@stefanstock953 if you like Gary Moore you might also enjoy Tommy Johansson from Sabaton doing some Gary Moore covers on his TH-cam. He does all the instruments, singing, keys, arrangements, etc and has several Gary Moore songs
Dont care how many times i hear Halo theme song, goosebumps every time. I cannot WAIT to see the Danish National Symphonic Orchestra this summer in Copenhagen.
i knew you'd like this. it's amazing that the best game music and movie scores are now being incorporated into Symphony Orchestras - both because it is amazing music but also because it is a great way to get new generations to get into Orchestra music
O'Donnell's first piece of music, "Halo", which would become "the signature theme for Halo", was written and recorded in three days... This is what i heard and found little info about this song intro
I was personally at this Gaming in Symphony concert when it was recorded. It was an awesome experience and I'll never forget it. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra is under Denmarks Radio, which is the national Danish main media company funded by the Danish media tax. So every single Dane is in some way paying for them to he this good. The funding is also why they can have in-ears, the productions are prestine etc. They always look like they are enjoying these concerts, which is most probably why it's so great, besides them being insanely talented. I've also been to the Galaxyphony and Fantasymphony concerts which was music from space related movies like Star Wars, Interstellar, Blade Runner and Fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings, Willow etc. all of them exceptional.
Yeah, it can definitely be a fun orchestra, but to be fair they usually only do a couple of these theme shows per season. The vast majority of the time, they’re doing traditional classical concerts. It’s a well funded orchestra owned by the Danish national TV and radio broadcaster with a very modern state of the art concert hall, which is purpose bullt for broadcasting and recording for the benefit of the general public. This also explains why they’re also doing more like this and not just traditional classical music, as their mission is to bring music to everyone.
The best gaming soundtrack was from PONG in 1976. It went...bleep....bloop ...bleep ....bloop every time the ball hit the little paddle. Truly spectacular. I exaggerate, but back in the early to mid 70's, ANY sound coming from the video games we played on our TV sets was jaw-dropping.
@@marytreder8095 even the original composer liked it better than his version! You can watch him do a live reaction with The Charismatic Voice on her channel :) I don't think there can be any higher praise for a cover than when the composer likes it more than their own.
Listening to this music gets me deep in my core and brings me back to my childhood. I really hope that in the largest twist of ironic fate, halo infinite is not the death of the halo franchise....I really REALLY want to love the future games of this franchise, since it was such a large part of my childhood. Loved this, thanks Tony
Great reaction video again man - please check out The Mandalorian and The Lord of the Rings. Also by The Danish Symphony Orchestra. ✌️ Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Great reaction/analysis thank you. You mention the in-ears they wear. They are Bang & Olufsen (B&O) which is a Danish company so there is a good chance that they did not pay for them as it might be really good marketing.
Hello - im late to the party, i know. I just wanted to say they probably paid for them - else they would have to plaster B&O stickers everywhere. The reason they have money is that DR is guvernment funded. Atleast they still are, who knows when the state is going to cut the money and outsource DR to the private sector.
If you're a fan of gaming music in general, I'd highly recommend checking out the remasters/remixes that Frank Klepacki did with his band The Tiberian Sons when they remastered Command & Conquer. "Hell March," obviously, gets the most attention, but "Act on Instinct," "No Mercy," and of course "Command & Conquer" are both really cool renditions of game music classics redone. They do an amazing job of highlighting and celebrating Klepacki's wide range of influences and legacy as a game composer and musician.
Agreed, mostly. I’d say on average, film soundtracks beat video game soundtracks. However, every once in a while there is a game soundtrack that rivals and maybe even surpasses it’s film peers. This is one of those moments!
"This must be the fun orchestra"..agree heartily 😂. I'm an old guy and the only other orchestra I have watched on video that I have enjoyed this way was when John Williams was conducting the Boston Pops orchestra on PBS almost a lifetime ago.
The Danish national symphonic orchestra is well funded, they only play before a few hundred people at a time but by God we will tax fund everything for these guys.
Some other great videoes of theirs are “Highlander - who wants to live forever,” “Shrouded destiny” that comes from a fan made Star Wars movie and “A knife in the dark” from LoTR. You should check them out
Marty: Look at what they had to do to replicate a part of my HUOUHUPUHOOOOOO solid high pitch black african woman voice Jokes aside, its fairly well done for a raw voice out for it since Marty added effects to make it more aligned with the music
Hello. I do know absolutely almost nothing about music. That is why I like your shows/ videos soooo much. You lift me up. Thanks a million. By the way, did you notise that the woman who speak / declace into the microphone is the wauwah svinger from the same orcestras version of "The good, the bad..." Namely the Norwegian operasanger Tuva Hemmingsen?
@DrumRollTonyReacts I would love to see what you think of the a cappella cover of the Halo theme performed by VoicePlay, they're such a phenomenal powerhouse of raw vocal talent that is near impossible to put into words.... th-cam.com/video/SLSzMDHyZ3g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BEfTeZhQohxvBxLx (viewing tip: be sure to watch it all the way through the outro where you get to hear the reason and motivation for why they chose to cover the Halo theme. It's such a beautiful message & as impactful as their cover of the music)
I wonder how orchestras react to video game music, like do they view it as just something to do to raise money and fame, or do they have genuine enjoyment along things like Bach and Mozart.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts its kinda sad, for me music is music, don't care if its from video games, anime, tv, or og music, if its good its good you know? Also my fav video game orchestra is the London philharmonic one. don't know if you've heard it. And you've talked about why certain music is easy on the ear, i've wondered, why is music like the attack on titan soundtrack and ESPECIALLY suicide mission from mass effect 2, so damn blood pumping, like it legit energizes me, and i was just curious as to why?
@@RedMenace446 Well, yes... if you look at it from that angle of course the answer is yes. But that is not the popular angle that is used by professional musicians in most ochestral settings. If you are not from that world or culture its hard to explain.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts no I get it, I'm by no means a musical profession the last time I learned anything technical about music would have been like Middle School, but I do enjoy music I mean I think it'd be hard for us to find someone who doesn't, and I would figure to make it your profession given that it's as far as I understand not the best paying profession you have to really love music.. I don't know maybe I'm crazy
How much money does this orchestra have? It's entirely state-funded, apart from ticket admissions. Ticket prices depend on where you sit, but first balcony seats cost my mum and I $90 each. (DKK 630, including booking fee.) I'd still love to see what you think of their "Gaming Legacy Medley". :)
I can't tell of you are being sarcastic or not. If you are being serious go back and look again. The drums are not real. If you can't tell by the rims look at the cymbals. They are that plastic/rubber type of material. Dead giveaway.
Have you watched/reacted to the video "The good, the bad and the ugly", performed by this Danish National Orchestra? I you didn't watch, I recommend to make first time reaction. Powerful stuff: watch?v=enuOArEfqGo
I will never ever ever understand what's the point of looking a guy or a girl in front of a camera while watching at the same time another video background. This "reaction" stuff should be banned once and for all in TH-cam

Honestly - if we see it as a culture tax and think of the young people these performances can inspire - it sounds so much better than a tv license lol
Guess this is one of the reasons for Us Danes being so happy🙌🙏😂🤘
Lol awesome 👏👏
Except Thatcher most of u’s, don´t go to see/hear this stuff, lol

Their "Uncharted" - theme from that same concert, is absolutely amazing too :)
I literally can't listen to this without shedding a tear
There is an a capella version of HALO from voiceplay wich also worth a watch.
I was just going to mention that - it's really great!

Any time I hear an orchestra play this theme and The Anvil of Crom and the Robocop theme I get goosebumps with tears of joy. My all-time
top 3 themes.
Halo music is amazing! I often sit down and listen to it for hours while reading or doing nothing.
