An orchestral instrumental cover of "Roar" by Katy Perry. 🎵

"Roar" was released by Katy Perry in 2013 as the lead single from her album "Prism" 🌟 The song quickly became a global sensation, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries. 🌍 Its uplifting message of self-empowerment and resilience resonated with audiences worldwide, solidifying its status as an inspirational anthem. 🌈🎤

For this cover I went with a classical orchestral arrangement. 🎻🎺 By infusing "Roar" with a symphonic arrangement , I tried to give the song an even greater sense of empowerment. Combined with epic MJ art that I generated and carefully chosen for this video, I intended to elevate the emotional impact of the lyrics. Let me know in the comments if it worked for you. 🫶

You can guess I'm a fan of Katy Perry, having already covered another song of hers (Hot N Cold). "Roar" is one of my favorite clips, but the video that I created took a slightly different direction from the original clip. I hope you've enjoyed it.

======

The DAW I used for this epic instrumental MIDI remake is Reaper. I used orchestral libraries with emphasis on strings (violins, violas, cellos), brass (french horns, trumpets, tenor trombone, bass trombone, tuba), woodnwinds (flutes, clarinets), and percussion instruments (drums, cymbals).
