Product Description
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden's legendary anthem arranged for symphony orchestra by the composer and orchestrator Kostas Rekleitis. Based in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Kostas is a versatile artist whose work spans beyond the concert hall. His creative output includes compositions for theater, art exhibitions, and numerous orchestral arrangements, with a particular passion for art songwhere he blends poetry and music.
In this arrangement, the guitar solo is replaced by a fugue-like movement in which the strings intertwine the song's signature riffs as a continuous thematic thread. The polyphonic treatment of this "complete theme" is further enhanced by the initial vocal line ("Im waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime"), which first emerges on the high woodwinds and then transitions to the low strings, creating a dramatic shift in texture.
The orchestral transformation of this classic metal tune results in a symphonic poemrich with epic intensity and lyrical beautytrying to capture the essence of Iron Maiden's powerful narrative and emotional depth.
