In the last few weeks Cannibal Panda (the University project I am part of) have been working on a contemporary version of Mozart's "Dies Irae" for our first performance assessment. Well, yesterday on the 30th November 2011, was the performance!
Our version included the original piano score with other classical instrumentation such as saxophone and flute. This mixed in with a metal drum beat, overdriven guitar and rap and Latin vocals was reminiscent of Anthrax and Public Enemy, but with a classical twist.
The original structure was honoured as much as possible, with an added introduction and extended verse sections to fit the popular music form.
Any comments and thoughts on this adaptation are greatly appreciated as we continue to develop this project! To finish with, here is the video footage:
