Is video game music that's being played by orchestras acceptable? Some of them sound pretty classical to me or were at least inspired by it.

Well if not, then I at least have these pieces I've always been a fan of:


And pretty much all of the stuff for Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.

 

[Gerard de Nerval]

From all the classical composers through out history Bach is probably the one who speaks to me the most (eventhough I find other pieces equally as beautiful) - his Inventions, Partitas and Sonatas seem to represent my character in a way. Their clear, crisp sound without the usage of pedals to delute or soften anything.The way every melodic line in those pieces is audible and not suppressed in any way or created to overlap each other.
They simply complement each other without the violin clef trying to outshine the bass clef like it seems to be common.
The pieces (especially the Inventions) are all very short (getting to the point quickly) and all include trills which could easily be seen as representative for the short and fleeting highs in life.
Each one of them - despite not lasting long - is still able to bring the melody across perfectly - having stuck the 15th in my head for ages - I know what I'm talking about.
Their beginning parts are always repeated (sometimes modified) in the end parts which make them appear orderly or so to speak: symmetrical even.
The end is the beginning.

Video game music by orchestra is ok

 

[Blue Rose]

Sergei Rachmaninov - Cello Sonata in G minor

Video game music by orchestra is ok

(Fun fact, I actually went to one of these specific concerts, not the one in this video but it was the official Pokémon orchestra tour. One of the highlights of my life for sure although it was on the same day Satoru Iwata (Nintendo's current president at the time) had died and so the final song was dedicated to him.)




(And if you get a bad result on a stage in this game well you get...)



Unfortunately the full Fire Emblem 25th anniversary concert was taken down but here's a playlist of the pieces:

So glad to see this thread! Am I allowed to flood it?

J.S. Bach's Prelude / Fugue in Cmin (BWV 546) is one of the greatest ones I have heard. Don't know why, but many of my faves are written in C minor or Eb major.

 

[omoidarui]

Ponchielli - Dance of the Hours...
or perhaps better known as the K-9 Advantix ad theme.




Hello mother, hello father
Flea's, ticks, mosquitoes really bother
Thanks for the package, thats why I'm writing
K9 Advantix quickly stopped all the biting

my favorites are the 3rd and 4th movement. the start of the 4th always reminds me of the jaws theme from john williams. i am pretty sure he got inspired by that ^^
