Battlefield Theme - Epic Orchestral Cover [ Kāru ]

Support me on Kofi 💛 - ko-fi.com/offi...
"If history only remembers one in a thousand of us, then the future will be filled with stories of who we were and what we did. How we lived, how we fought, and how we died. When this is all over and the war is won, they will remember us."
The main theme of the Battlefield franchise is timeless and iconic. Audible in almost every game in the line, it is truly a tune very familiar to even individuals who do not play the game.
As the first soundtrack of the Battlefield series, 1942's soundtrack introduced the Battlefield Theme, as well as making use of large and majestic fanfares similar to those used in future installments.
As Battlefield 2042 approaches, I for one wanted to create a rendition in the epic style I manifest. Complete with commanding brass and earth shattering drums.
[ This Is Kāru from Launch day of 2042, It went…Dice pls ]
[SPOILERS]
A dark ominous hum signals the entrance of the piece. This is then followed by Taiko drums and hard hitting strings. They start to intensify as a German officer rouses his troops at the beginning of the Kaiserschlacht. The drums, strings and brass intensify even more with much velocity played in each instrument. A break comes, then synths begin the countdown to the chorus.
The iconic theme roars in all it's glory along with large drums, brass, and strings. As well as electric guitars to add to it's already intense nature. Trumpets begin joining forces and emphasizing the motif even more. Ending with the iconic drum motif of the theme, But this is not over.
After pads and synths give way to rest the composition, an Erhu (A Chinese oriental instrument) begins playing one of the other iconic themes from Battlefield's soundtrack. Followed by the full orchestra and an inspiring choir.
As a lone trumpet signals the end of the section, it is followed by fast strings and large drums. What can be heard is radio chatter ripped straight from one of the most legendary missions in the franchise, "Going Hunting" from Battlefield 3. As the sounds of Jets being launched from an aircraft carrier roar, the orchestra prepare for the finale. Synths begin and one last iconic motif and then...boom.
An armada of full fortissimo instruments come together to create an absolutely earth trembling finale. This is also accompanied by one hell of an electric guitar. The whole orchestra then plays to the beat of the theme as a build up to the final motif. It concludes with the most powerful drums played to the beat of...."Du-Dun Dun, Du-Dun Dun"

[@spaghettiloaf9532]

I literally searched "Dun dun dun dun dun dun" in the KZbin search bar, and I was NOT disappointed! This is like the whole legacy of BATTLEFIELD... this franchise is no doubt my favorite out of all of them. It helped me pass German class! Es ist sehr wunderbar!

[@TeamFungus2Engineer]

I don't speak barely any german but I'm going to assume that says "This is super wonderful" correct me if I'm wrong

[@AGermanFencer]

Gramatically correct, you would rather say "absolut wunderbar!" - absolutely wonderful, though ^^ Or "sau geil"- loosely: fucking great. :D (lit.: hog.-horny btw.) "Endgeil"- loosely the epitome of all greatness, would work aswell :'D Ah. Love the language.

[@wexican2087]

dude. this is fucking amazing. Theres so much depth and musical touches to this, its just beautiful. Lightyears ahead (in my opinion) of the theme they actually made for 2042! GG

I appreciate it, Thanks! Beep Boop!

[@wesleyward5901]

Really good cover. If I had to guess the reason this doesn't have more views is because you used 2042 as the image. It has by far the *worst* version of the Battlefield theme ever made and people probably assume it's a cover of that theme and don't click on the vid.

[@csbanki]

This has more BF2142 vibes in it which would make it a worthy successor to that legendary game.

[@theknightikins9397]

[@sukhoisu-57felon_]

This is easily the greatest cover I have ever heard! I love how you’ve taken some parts from the Legacy theme. I will be very disappointed if the main theme doesn’t sound at least a little bit like 1942. The more recent modern time Battlefield themes just didn’t feel as gritty as the original ones. BF1 and V pretty much nailed it.

[@ZakoZeWacko]

I'm in awe just listening to this. Great job. although you missed the chance to add the Battlefield 4 beat drop.

[@spazzey0]

I feel like this is going to either be warsaw or a mashup.

[@spaghettiloaf9532]

Hey! Making another comment here. I can't stop listening to 2:16 over and over again. I think it's the Battlefield 1 section...? Anyway, could you tell me whatever instrument that beautiful horn thing was? I think I'm in love with it

Thanks! The lead instrument for that part is not a horn or any brass instrument. It's actually an "Erhu" it's a Chinese string instrument. 😁

Sir, I hope to god you do Medal of Honor next. Would love to hear your take on some of the most iconic themes composed by Michael Giacchino and Christopher Lennertz.

@@AsproWavey Well I'm pretty sure that those 11 people think that Cardi B is a good singer

[@thelegendaryciarsas2437]

This is more than a remix, and more then a mashup of different versions of the battlefield theme. This is a story written through music: 0:00 - 2:10 The World Wars (1&2) 2:11 - 2:40 The Cold War (Including the Vietnam and Korean Wars, as characterized by the Far East style of orchestra) 2:40 - 2:50 9/11 and the start of the War on Terrorism 2:51 - 3:13 The War on Terrorism, including Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf War 3:14 - 3:24 The End of the War on Terrorism 3:25 - 3:48 The new United States Army, coming to begin the War with Communism 3:49 - 5:25 The modern Battlefield series as The United States takes down Communist China Like I said, it’s more then just the remix or the mashup, it’s a song telling an in-depth story about the history of the United States without using words. This is why people call music art, because it can tell someone centuries of history through just a few minutes of guitar strumming and drum beating.

FUCK this is so good. Can you please go and do the next Battlefield's music? 2042's music is not right

I wish! 😅 2042’s official Soundtrack was quite disappointing for me, especially since I know the composer has done decent work previously. 2042’s main theme especially lacked the “epic” nature and harmonious coherency of the previous ones, It’s literally just a distorted synth lead with no harmony. 😔

[@BuffaloSpring]

@ I agree completely, I loved their work in Chernobyl. I don't blame them though, they probably werent given the whole picture about this game. (Hey we need some ambient music and some hype music)
