When it comes to my Castlevania games, I go for the old school ones. Same goes for my choices in the franchise's music, the classic soundtracks are the most iconic ones. This 16-minute Castlevania orchestral rock medley is one year in the making, with conceptualizing beginning as far as September 2014.
Songs were chosen mostly by personal preference but with some help from several polls in my social media pages. I ended up including 22 songs from the original Castlevania, Simon's Quest, Castlevania Adventure, Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, and Symphony of the Night. For me, these classic entries have some of the most iconic and recognizable music in the entire franchise.
The modern entries, even with their more advanced orchestrations, never really captured the iconic status of the classic soundtracks most of which you can easily identify by just hearing the first three or four notes.
For this arrangement, I went with my favorite style of orchestral rock but introducing a cathedral organ part as it fits the gothic horror theme of Castlevania very well. The melodic lines are thrown around between the lead guitar, violins and organ.
I hope you like it!
