[@Incog2k6]

If you're referring to symphonic music: well, I'd say that Classical is doing REALLY fine for being a genre that is roughly 3 centuries old. Plus, orchestras are now starting to adopt pieces from movies, popular music and video games, which in turn brings in new listeners. So all is fine. If you're referring to music like Queen: luckily, the recent Bohemian Rhapsody movie has skyrocketed Queen's popularity amongst younger people. Newer generations have been, once again, exposed to a band that was around before they were born. I'd say that all is fine as well. Again, we can't expect popularity on the level of modern Pop musicians, but then again, music like this has proven itself to last throughout the ages.

[@themanwhosoldtheworld2278]

As a cellist, and as a huge Queen fan, I gotta say, Ive never wanted to play a piece more than I do now.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra played at our high school, way back in the day. If you've never heard a full orchestra play live (in person), you owe it to yourself to experience it for yourself. I promise, you will never forget it. No sound system in the world can replicate the true power of what I heard on that memorable day in 1968!

[@jacobbahr9316]

Perfect way to get the viola some respect!

[@Dazzledweeb]

Jacob Bahr Yas! I'm a violalist myself, and no one respects Viola's that much ;-;

[@jacobbahr9316]

I know, that's sad. I've had numerous people call my bass clarinet a saxophone and ask if I use my bassoon for drug related activity. Tsk tsk

[@Dazzledweeb]

Jacob Bahr Gosh seriously? That's disrespectful honestly

[@jacobbahr9316]

Yeah well. That's just the life of a musician. I sometimes just have fun by lying to them and saying 'the bassoon was invented as a bong, but a conductor who smoked decided to use it in his orchestra'. And people believe it

[@francescotenderini1489]

this is why Bohemian Rhapsody is my favourite song. it is so perfectly done that if adapted to be played with an orchestra, it seems a classical piece of art.

[@martinsanchez9814]

This is a beautiful and fitting tribute to Freddie Mercury

[@mrbobjackpeanutbutter]

To think only 4 guys did this

[@taffyholvenstot8297]

Yes it always strikes me when listening to Queens music but it's an amazing sound coming from only four people.

[@vbl915]

Gameboy23 actually it was just written by freddie, the piano melody too, he created this

[@xdotsxblinder7017]

@@vbl915 Freddie didnt alone, all the members are important, QUEEN created Bohemian Rhapsody

[@vbl915]

xDOTSx BLINDER freddie wrote the entire song and melody, i know brian made himself the solo guitar melody but apart from that i dont know about any collab from other member. As a disclaimer i did not mean to sound like other members from queen aren’t talented etc, i consider all of them extremely talented, every single one of them have written wonderful songs, i just wanted to give freddie his credit in this one

[@yunsuuu]

@@vbl915 Yes, but for example i am impressed that four (or more mainly three, since John Deacon didnt sing very much) ppl's voices can create such great operatic effect and volume. Also the 'Deacy amp' enabled Brian's guitar to sound like a trumpet, adding to the orchestra like effect. Of course Freddie's songwriting here is pure genius, a poignant expression of the human condition, and we should give him full credit for that!

[@mariamabuokada1982]

It's extraordinary to see that all of this came out of one man's brain. Not just a man, a legend!

[@Keithustus]

It was a group effort like most of their songs. (But yes, apparently, mostly Freddie, especially as to structure.)

[@Piotrszyba.1]

Freddie Marcury wrote this piece as a symphony and after fiishing he was like "damn, forgotten i have only 3 guy in the orchestra. Well, what's the big deal, i'll do it with 3 guys" :)

[@ThePengu_96]

I think that the best part about full on orchestras playing amazing songs like these are that, despite there not being the actual lyrics, we can all hear the lyrics in our heads. That’s how memorable this song was to us as humans

[@aaronyong8029]

Got reminded about this while looking up my middle schooler’s band arrangement. Never gets old, glad to have been a part of it!! Thanks Nick, hope you are well!!

No. It's a viola, a completely different instrument.
