as a Muse fan for 10+ years, i must say - this is a truly amazing and epic rendition of an equally epic song. given how much Matt Bellamy loves classical and orchestral music, i really hope he's seen this or maybe gonna see it one day.

[@harveymanfredsenjenson5417]

I love the trumpet usage -- a tribute to Ennio Morricone, who wrote the music to Once Upon a Time In the West, which this song references

[@pablosikXXX]

Beginning sounds for my like a trumpet from Chuck's Mangione Children of Sanchez. Nevertheless, quite a similar genre.

I don't know if you still look at this account but this is one of my favorite things.

[@AccursedKlaus]

It's 2am and I was recommended this after listening to the original song for the first time in a few years. I'm so happy I clicked on this.

It's a rare thing when an orchestral version can keep the dynamics of a rock song. Big respect for the arrangement and execution! When the singer started, I literally had goosebumps. Congratulations to everyone involved!

[@carlos5647]

They actually have; it was Supremacy, but Adele beat them to it for Skyfall🤷‍♀️

[@NM-rz6tq]

I can't decide if my favourite aspect of this performance is the performance itself or the looks of pride and joy in the musician's and conductor's faces as they are performing it. Very brave to take on a piece that is technical as it is, nevermind figuring out an arrangement that gets the balance right for an orchestra! Bravo!!

[@danilodf1]

Dude, that singer just rocked!

[@BenjaminStJohn-en9nv]

Man this gave me chills to listen to and brought tears to my eyes. The emotion in everyone's music was palpable.

It's a joy to watch people having so much fun. Especially enjoy the strong upper fourth on "right" and "survive".

[@MrNicholasTorres1993]

It's years I listen to this song but this orchestral version gives me chills! I'm a chorister, so I imagine myself in the choir singing these sweet words to my heart and to the ones around me. The fact that this song arrived on the net, in my opinion, it has a huge meaning, and I'll never stop hoping things will get better, here on planet Earth, I do my best to survive... Sooner or later I know we'll be rescued.

[@deathinater]

If there would be a movie that would be using Knight of Cydonia in an orchestra version as an intro, I would have imagine it sounding like this. Especially with the choir part. This is amazing to pull it off!

[@Trooper6190]

This makes me miss playing instruments. I had a music teacher that this one reminds me of. She was always so encouraging and got really excited for us when we advanced and learned and nailed performances. You could see pride every time she directed us, from beginners to advanced she was the same with everyone. Everyone got constructive criticism, everyone for one on one time and everyone got praised for doing the right thing and doing their best. What a cool show!

[@davidclaycomb5496]

Really nice! Having seen Muse 4 times, I can totally appreciate his.

[@kommasar]

I was blown away. I had this on in the background whilst scrolling then came back and watched the whole song. WOW!

I started listening to Muse because of Butterflies and Hurricanes and I was impressed with the way they used classical influences in their music. Knights of Cydonia is my absolute favorite song of theirs and I'm so happy you gave it an orchestral twist!

La più bella versione d'orchestra che abbia sentito. La batteria suonata così ha dato il moto corretto al testo, Tutti gli strumenti suonavano col tono corretto e per il tempo neccessario. E un applauso al coro femminile,si sente una doppia voce pulitissima che sembra proprio Bellamy. Mi sono innamorato della direttrice d'orchestra, Lei trasmette la carica ai ragazzi,basta guardare il coro...sono in sintonia con lei. Complimenti Meritereste essere chiamati a un concerto con i Muse

Imagine this arrangement with the right mixing and a full professional orchestra, it would be amazing. The potential's so strong that it *already* sounds great even with just students

[@frozenova1666]

Pair the professional orchestra (mixing, instruments, volume, etc) with the visuals of a movie or video game (something to give an amazing, breathtaking visual, but different from the music video and unique to the created universe) and it would be another achievement for the masterpiece it already is
