The Moon Theme from Duck Tales - Big Band Orchestra Version

[@JamesBaxterAHorse]

Some of the most underrated talent on KZbin

[@rezahydra]

Here here!

[@twigg_stick4858]

Agreed in every term

[@thomassmallwood1920]

They’re gonna get really big on KZbin if there’s any justice in this world

[@ryancarter2959]

Oh absolutely. Every cover is absolutely spot on

[@rilke1791]

He's a bit more than underrated, his arranging is so god tier. Charlie Rosen might just be one of the best arrangers I've ever seen

[@cf-4233]

Hearing this theme on the new DuckTales show legit made me tear up. It's one of the best NES tracks ever, and this orchestra kills it.

[@evilmiera]

I was amazed they decided to go for it.

[@pikminpro2001]

@@evilmiera i mean it was on the moon and it's ducktales, they had too

[@Moeron86]

Ya, there's something about this song that also brings a tear to my eye. It's so beautiful. Personally I think the NES version is the best still, even almost 40 years later

[@Odincdaj522004]

Nobody gonna say anything about the trombone solo guy? It hurts as a trumpet player to admit, but Jesus that was gorgeous. So was the rest of everything, to be fair.

[@brownhues]

Both the bone and trump solos were much better than the alto. That guy needs to calm down. Tone sucked too.

[@zakkeil3954]

I'd like to go on record as saying string solos are largely overrated and overused. Those brass and woodwind solos slapped

[@mikewolf5367]

I think the whole thing was phenomenal ❤

[@thehuggz-i9k]

This is one of those pieces where attention to detail is everything. If I hear that you didn't do the 15/8 thing in the first couple bars, I'm gone. This was an amazing cover on so many more levels than that. Love it!

[@Kirarak]

Hiroshige Tonomura deserves waaaay more credit. This theme is ingenious! I've always loved it.

[@quartzofcourse]

Man this cover makes it sound like a mario kart 8 track

[@pausebreakreviews]

[@sumaryp8963]

I was thinking Mario galaxy, which works since it’s the moon theme

[@stevenmathews9355]

I love how in the reboot, this becomes Della's theme essentially. She sings it as a lullaby and sings it as she's trying to get off the moon. It's such a nice touch for her character.

[@tsbiggles]

"She turned into a bird!" "Wasn't she a bird before?" I'm clinically dead

[@knotsnights6940]

2:25 for the people wondering....LOL

[@ransax]

All the Nintendo Disney games by Capcom were some of the best games on the console in a lot of cases. NES had a dream library when all was said and done. Something like 800 games, I think.

[@RyanUybengkee]

that drummer killed it! harp player was magical! trombone just nailed it! keyboard player what precision! this has always been my go-to/ feel good music! can;t seem to get enough of it

[@thinkingfubuki]

I recognize this melody, because it's been used so much in documentaries about nostalgic topics like old video games, but I never knew it had anything to do with Duck Tales. Tbh, I'd never had any idea where the song came from; it just seemed like royalty-free "nostalgia music" to me. Lol

[@paulollarsabaiii9824]

NerdGroovy One of my favorite things about the new show is that they actually reference this theme in a really cool way! I won’t mention how because of spoilers, but I highly recommend the new cartoon

[@julianlee4227]

Well you know for damn sure that this Disney music is, in fact, not royalty free

[@pj2yyy2]

@@julianlee4227 This is music by Hiroshige Tonomura , not 'Disney'

[@wordedpuppet6278]

@@pj2yyy2 Yeah, but Disney still owns the right to it you know.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@wordedpuppet6278 probably, although these sorts of copyright issues (especially back in the earlier years of video games) can be cloudy. Clearly Disney at least had, or obtained, rights to use it in their newer Ducktales cartoon, but ownership may remain with the original developers/publishers of the game.

[@tehlaser]

oh my gosh the way that trombone swells

[@carlmontinstrumentalmusic148]

High school band director here. If you make these arrangements available for purchase you will sell more charts than Gordon Goodwin. We easily have a dozen Goodwin charts in our library and would purchase yours as well. With literally no evidence, I suspect 500k of your views are kids in HS jazz band! Thanks for considering. We are easy to find on the web. Sent a note if you have purchase links available. Thank you!

[@mereth13]

It's amazing to hear not only the incredible talent in the performance and the arrangement, but also to hear just how much potential was in these old compositions that were so limited by the sound chips of the time. You know how everything you remember from childhood gets worse when you re-experience it? This is the opposite - it's like getting them again, this time in all the glory you didn't have the ability to truly appreciate as a kid. It's beautiful, and it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for these amazing performances.

I'm curious as to how many people get this on their recommended feed, and whether they are subscribed or not. Because I am subscribed but stuff from this channel never ends up in my recommended. KZbin really seems to have a problem with promoting real talent. I want more of stuff like this recommended and less garbage that I never watch (Like watchmojo lists). These videos are amazing, thank you so much for making them! This channel will reach 1 million subscribers and beyond eventually I'm sure, you deserve so much more than you have, I just feel like the algorithm is for some reason screwing you guys over.
