Okay - it really isn't often that I bliss out so much over a orchestration of pop music - but the Royal Philharmonic's recording of "The Queen Symphony" by Tolga Kashif is friggin' amazing.

"We Will Rock You" sounds like something out of a medieval clash soundtrack - and "Who Wants to Live Forever" is transformed.

Way. Amazing.

I am so lucky to work where I do with exposure to so much unbelievably cool music.

I would LOVE to hear this!!! Oh oh oh!

And I love Queen! I got to see them twice in concert!

A friend tried to get me backstage to meet Freddie but I chickened out...

And "Who Wants to Live Forever?" has special meaning with Freddie's death...

I remember seeing it played by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. I was blown away by what had been done to some of my old favourites. Freddie would have been proud.

Long live the Queen!

Today as I rode to the soccer fields, Josh and I came across my few mp3's of Queen. I played "We will rock you", which is perfect for pre-game.

As the song finished, I scrolled back to find "Bohemian Rhapsody". I started listening to it and thinking about his post and how I would love to arrange this into a choir arrangement. I'm sure it's been done already but still, it would be a great challenge.

We then arrived at the field and my thoughts were lost...until now.

Thank you for sharing your world with us.
