Are you an arranger? Do you like Metal? Do you like Classical/Baroque music? Do you like Antonio Vivaldi’s masterpiece “The Four Seasons” ? Do you like epic and majestic music? Let’s get started… It’s your chance to show your talent and skills and to be part of this great All-Metal-Stars project!
To enter the contest, please read details here:
[1] Here you can listen the Vivaldi’s original piece “Spring – 3rd movement, Allegro, RV 269” (as performed by Miroslav Vilímec, violin with the Symphony Prague Orchestra conducted by Stefan Britvik: https://youtu.be/Jxzx7NTe2lk). If you need the original score, you can get it here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Violin_Concerto_in_E_major,_RV_269_(Vivaldi,_Antonio). This is the part that you need to arrange to enter the contest. Keep the original score only as your reference when making YOUR Metal arrangement for the Vivaldi Metal Project.
[2] Your arrangement style should include all or a combination of these instruments: drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, choir, vocals, back vocals, choir. Use strings sparingly, and not for the main parts or themes (we don’t need another original version, it is already well done by Vivaldi).
As idea, the arrangement should be a combination between elements included in the Vivaldi’s score and new original parts written by you. You don’t need to follow the original score 100%, but keep it as “guide-line” , then make it yourself.
[3] When you’re ready with the work, please send the MP3 as download link to info@vivaldimetalproject.com (do not upload the MP3 directly to our inbox, use dropbox, mediafire or similar services, thanks).
For any additional info, you can contact us: info@vivaldimetalproject.com
Last but not least: be sure to make it METAL and nothing less than EPIC!
Thanks, good luck!

***
As previously reported, the Vivaldi Metal Project is getting more huge than expected! Many famous musicians are involved in the project, such as Mark Boals (FireWind, Yngwie Malmsteen), Mike Lepond (Symphony X), Rob Rock (Impellitteri), Chris Adler (Lamb of God), Tommy Denander (Toto, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper), Joe Stump (Reign of Terror, Raven Lord), John Macaluso (Ark, LaBrie, Yngwie Malmsteen), Andy Midgley (Power Quest), just to name a few.
Recording will happen this year and the release date of the album is expected for late 2015.
As far as the Vivaldi Metal Project is an independent project, the staff is looking for supporters who can help them in reaching the needed budget for production (recordings, mix, mastering, etc.) and started a fundraising campaign that will end in December 2015.
