Can 8-bit and I tell if music is Classical or from a Mario game? I grew up in Australia, yes I know I pronounce Mario funny.

you should totally do a castle themes episode or even a multiple part series. you could start off with comparing different mario castle themes then move on to another couple games like legend of zelda and castlevania and then finish it off with a general comparison of different games castle music

@rageman2247 Год назад

I would’ve given you the double points for the horse track theme at the end because it’s used as the horse track, diving minigame, and catching chickens - oot & gorman race, Goron race and I think beaver race - majora’s mask

@geekley Год назад

It reminds me of Rosalina Observatory a bit.

@GizzyDillespee Год назад

It would be funny if all of these were classical themes that were borrowed and adapted for Mario. "Mario Zart", IOW

@GizzyDillespee Год назад

My takeaway is that the Mario composers are equivalent to Mozart, when instrumentation is disguised, and you only can hear short clips.

@caterscarrots3407 6 месяцев назад

@@GizzyDillespee Yeah, I have definitely heard that Mario Mozart comparison before. As well as Final Fantasy and Beethoven being compared, that like Koji Kando is video game Mozart cause the Mario melodies are catchy like Mozart's melodies are and Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for the first 10 Final Fantasy games, is video game Beethoven because both Beethoven and Uematsu develop large themes from small motivic building blocks.

@victreeee Год назад

It’s true that #1 is from Mario but the original music was written by a Polish composer Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska in 1856. It’s called Modlitwa dziewicy for those who are interested

@TheViolaBuddy Год назад

For #8, I could've sworn that was Grandma's Theme from Zelda: The Wind Waker. The melody and countermelody are so close. To be fair, there is plenty of crossover between Mario and Zelda music (as the ending of this video showed!)

@ITSNICKMELLO Год назад

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the musical talent of video game music composers. Often we tend to ostracize artists away from conventional forms of media and belittle their ability for it, but I think this settles the debate that you don’t have to be signed to a billion dollar label or be a classical music artist to be musically gifted and genius. To Koji Kondo, Yoko Shimomura, Grant Kirkhope and many others, we owe you our undying respect.

@RenanGreca Год назад

Well, since classical music is not commercially mainstream as it was 300 years ago, film and game soundtracks carry the torch of that art. As you can see in this video, Kondo and Shimomura's canons are modern interpretations of classical and baroque conventions.

@ILoveMisty1985 Год назад

Number 1 was essentially a remix of Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska's A Maiden's Prayer. So is it really Mario? I mean it isn't Mozart.

@dado__ Год назад

I feel like Shimomura stuff made this a lot harder because even as someone who doesn't know music theory she's very distinct in her musical vocabulary from Koji Kondo, who did most of the well known Mario themes. I feel like she definitely feels more classical and uses more orchestration than Kondo, who I feel tends towards single instrument melodies that really stick out from the background vs. Shimomura more "shaping" the melody using several instruments.

@cheesesamurai1688 Год назад

@supercamborg4218 8 месяцев назад

I thought it was that piece for a good bit while they were talking before having a realization that it couldn’t be the same because that song (first used in Galaxy) has the notes at the beginning spell D-E-A-D repeatedly and this wasn’t doing the same.

@nmitchell076 Год назад

For number 5, the opening is definitely ambiguous (5-#4-4-3 is a really common line over a pedal point in classical music). But the chords over that final E-G-Bb-G#-A thing is the dead giveaway. You got parallel octaves in the outer voices G-Bb. Plus over the G# bass note you have an A major chord. Vmaj7 in 3rd inversion is WILD. In classical language, that should be like a vii⁰7/V

@Gravitynaut Год назад

i was gonna say, the more exposure you have to playing classical music the more glaring it becomes when melodic or harmonic conventions are broken without structural justification.
