Rasputin (Boney M.) | EPIC ORCHESTRAL COVER

Introducing my latest epic orchestral cover on my music cover channel: "Rasputin" by Boney M.! 🎶🎻 Let's embark together on a grand musical journey to the captivating world of this iconic song, with this symphonic orchestra cover. 🌟
🎵 In this orchestral rendition of "Rasputin," I tried to magnify the power and intensity of the original by using a symphonic arrangement. 🎺🥁 The orchestration pays homage to the spirited melodies and rhythms that make this song so memorable. I hope you will enjoy the sonic experience that combines the power of classical instruments with the irresistible allure of "Rasputin"!
📜 "Rasputin" (a.k.a "Ra Ra Rasputin") was inspired by the enigmatic figure, Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (Григорий Ефимович Распутин), who gained influence over the Russian imperial family in the early 20th century. 🎩✨ The lyrics tell a captivating story of Rasputin's charismatic persona and the intrigue surrounding him. In this epic orchestral cover, let the music sweep you away to a bygone era filled with drama and historical fascination.
🖼️ Accompanying this monumental musical journey is a series of oil paintings, generated by Midjourney AI. 🎨🌌 MJ managed to create breathtaking artwork that vividly portrays early 20th-century Russian soldiers, Russian nobles, the czar, and Rasputin himself, all passionately playing orchestral instruments. I hope that these mesmerizing visuals will add another layer of grandeur to the already powerful performance.
✨ I hope that this orchestral cover will help you experience the epic magic of "Rasputin" like never before. Join me on this awe-inspiring musical expedition through history, where the symphony embraces the iconic hit by Boney M. Don't miss out on this transcendent fusion of melodies, art, and storytelling!

I love orchestra so much but gotta say, the more layere harmony kills the rhythm. Some songs are made groovy and clean asf, so the melody shines up

[@alainportant6412]

Yeah. i'm not a big fan of AI generated crap, but these are pretty spot on. Can't deny that.

[@salbron7611]

This composition allowed me to understand that I perhaps admire Rasputin’s personality. A person born under the laws of the empire - without any rights and prospects for a decent life. He made the Tsar and his entire family his puppets. And he turned the entire Russian Empire as he wanted.

It's also interesting to see the effects of how the AI actually learned. With violins, the posturing of the musicians in any pictures the AI learned from is really clear and open - the AI can see pretty much every detail it needs to accurately replicate a violin. Brass instruments, on the other hand, are a lot more complex (from a design perspective, at least - not playing favorites here!) and many more parts of them are hidden, so the AI pretty much has to fill in the gaps on its own. The one at 0:34 got me XD

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

Then let's hear an orchestra playing it! 😂

[@irenedok4167]

Очень классная идея с оркестровой аранжировкой! Но не хватает глубины и объёма звучания настоящего оркестра. Басов тубы не хватает и контрабаса. Возникает ощущение камерного оркестра, хотя инструментов звучит больше, чем в составе камерного. Очень хорошие сэмплы инструментов, но их распределения голосов совсем немного не хватает для полного погружения в оркестр. Вы меня почти убедили в живых людях по ту сторону нотного стана 👍 Уверена, с каждым новым треком вы будете всё больше и больше оттачивать своё мастерство. Удачи вам в творчестве!

[@k-diagnoza5211]

Полностью поддерживая Вас! У реального симфонического коллектива практически нет такого, что отдельно струнная группа и отдельно медная духовая секция. Чаще всего мягко передают акценты на разные группы инструментов валторны и фаготы. Они не такие резкие по звучанию, поэтому композиция выстроена более гармонично и... простите более объёмно. Вот здесь я не слышу того объёма живого симфонического оркестра, увы. При всём уважении к старанию автора. Всё же сэмплы это сэмплы, а не реальная партитура от и до. Где-то лет 15 уже как наблюдая за гастролями некогда супер-команд с поддержкой лучших симфонических коллективов. Это и The Alan Parsons Project, и Kiss, и Jethro Tull и... даже КИНО (симфонический проект). Ну ведь вообще великолепная музыка, где всё на своём месте.

Lyrics for karaoke; There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the bible like a preacher Full of ecstacy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire Ra-Ra-Rasputin Lover of the russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar But the Kasachok he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer Who would heal her son Ra-Ra-Rasputin Lover of the russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger For power became known to more and more people The demands to do something about this outrageous Man became louder and louder This man's just got to go! Declared his enemies But the ladies begged: Don't you try to do it, please No doubt this rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame Come to visit us! They kept demanding And he really came Ra-Ra-Rasputin Lover of the russian queen They put some poison into his wine Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and said: I am fine Ra-Ra-Rasputin Lover of the russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him till he was dead.
