For this scene, instead of doing a score-by-score mockup of the fight scene, I decided to bring back some of the main battle themes heard in both Infinity War and Endgame. Terrific score done by Alan Silvestri.

This is the FULL first movement of Beethoven's most famous piece of work.
I wanted to stay true to what experts believed to have been Beethoven's intended tempo, close to the tempo of the recording performed by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Carlos Kleiber in 1975.
As for adding my own tastes to this masterpiece, I dared not to do too much. (After all, this is Beethoven. The Master.) I told myself that I would give myself one, and only one, "boom" that I can add. And so, I've selected the most crucial, most intense moment of the piece (see if you can find it).
If you are new to classical music and just want to jump straight to the most exciting part, just jump to the "coda."

Just love how something so simple, a simple ostinato, can be developed into something so grandeur and epic.
I wanted to go for an even more grandeur feel, so I added a choir in the background. Also decided to get rid of the drum-kit and re-orchestrate the percussions part a little bit to give it a bit more of an epic feel.
In this remake, I decided to remove the brass section in the beginning because the staccato strings are just too f****** epic to be overshadowed. A rather under-utilized instrument in modern orchestral music, I also added an organ to enhance the menacing character of the villain whose theme this belongs to.
The melody played by the tremolo strings at around 0:28 (which I spotlighted in the video) is probably one of the most intimidating and overlooked villain lines of all time.
The choir was largely programmed with EWQL Hollywood Choirs, although I must say it was a rather limiting library for the hype it has generated upon release.

This piece is, in my opinion, quite possibly the most epic battle/villain theme ever made, and definitely among the most complex covers I have tackled as there are so many nuances that need to be taken into consideration.
In the movie, we hear the opening melody played with the brass section, but in the actual recording, it was sung by the choir. I've always wondered how it will sound to have both the brass and the choir open up the piece together, and so I decided to do that here, and I thought it was pretty darn epic.
I made this remake using samples in Logic Pro X (see below for more details!), hence the incorrect lyrics for the choir (lols). Hope you enjoy the remake and seeing a bit of my workflow.

Larisa Kopylovsky) Album: Rise & Fall (2016) Composed by: Kenny Mac
The album finale rests with "Animus" (awe-nee-miss). A lonesome harp opens up the piece, gradually building up to an epic entrance by the choir. An anguished lead violin (performed by Larisa Kopylovsky) makes a bold entrance, accompanied by the orchestra and choir for an epic display of raw passion.
The b section ushers in a gentle breeze of peace, finding solace in the midst of chaos. However, the short-lived time of peace retreats, and concludes in a solemn state of mourning after an epic battle.
Will there ever be peace in a land filled with war and strife? (To be continued in Part 2 of the Rebirth Series)

Mosa Tsay) Album: Rise & Fall (2016) Composed by: Kenny Mac
The lead track "Rise & Fall" changes the pacing of the album. It opens up with an emotional melody from the piano, and progresses in to a dynamic state of emotions. Here we explore the emotions of confusion, anger, and grief.
Perhaps the most significant part of the piece is in the b section, where we hear the characteristic melancholic passage played by the lead cello (performed by Mosa Tsay), a voice crying from a place of grief and weeping from a state of pensive sadness. The cello puts forth a valiant effort to rise out of a recurring falling melody.
Will there be a resolution to this long-winded battle?

"Ascension to Knighthood" was designed to take you from 0-400mph in about 5 seconds. One moment, you are sitting there with your eyes closed, taking in the epic passage played by the brass. And all of a sudden, you are soaring in the skies at max speed.
But don't worry, you will get a break during the B section..for 20 seconds, maybe.

"The Book of Legends" opens the album up with a nostalgic melody played by the solo cello (performed by Mosa Tsay). This is where it all begins. A path unfolds before you, an invitation to embark on a journey to new horizons. Are you ready for an epic adventure?

Dedicated to my SunRise Bible study group, Adam Young, and my friends who are the birds that keep me company on sleepless nights.
Enjoy. And have a Happy Morning =)
