The Moon Theme from Duck Tales - Big Band Orchestra Version

The Moon Theme from Duck Tales for the Nintendo Entertainment System (1989) originally by Hiroshige Tonomura and expanded for The 8-Bit Big Band. I've always loved this incredibly optimistic melody and composition, with a unique intro that switches between 4/4 and 7/8 so seamlessly!

Nobody gonna say anything about the trombone solo guy? It hurts as a trumpet player to admit, but Jesus that was gorgeous. So was the rest of everything, to be fair.

[tsbiggles]

"She turned into a bird!"
"Wasn't she a bird before?"
I'm clinically dead

[JamesBaxterAHorse]

Some of the most underrated talent on YouTube

Hearing this theme on the new DuckTales show legit made me tear up. It's one of the best NES tracks ever, and this orchestra kills it.

High school band director here. If you make these arrangements available for purchase you will sell more charts than Gordon Goodwin. We easily have a dozen Goodwin charts in our library and would purchase yours as well. With literally no evidence, I suspect 500k of your views are kids in HS jazz band! Thanks for considering. We are easy to find on the web. Sent a note if you have purchase links available. Thank you!

I love how in the reboot, this becomes Della's theme essentially. She sings it as a lullaby and sings it as she's trying to get off the moon. It's such a nice touch for her character.

Shout out to ymfah for showing me all these amazing covers

[quartzofcourse]

Man this cover makes it sound like a mario kart 8 track

[jonathanstark]

Love the trombone in this. Trombone doesn't get featured enough in remixes

[Kirarak]

Hiroshige Tonomura deserves waaaay more credit. This theme is ingenious! I've always loved it.

[eaglerobot]

Why am I getting so much Nostalgia I've never even played the game




*BUT THE SONGS SO GOOD

[thehuggz-ik]

This is one of those pieces where attention to detail is everything. If I hear that you didn't do the 15/8 thing in the first couple bars, I'm gone. This was an amazing cover on so many more levels than that. Love it!

[loowood]

This sounds so much like something out of Mario Galaxy

[nolanoliver]

Ducks
Yes ducks in outer space
From the Disney afternoon
Too the

[PiercingSight]

The part starting at 2:45 is so incredibly hype. I love it so much!

[tehlaser]

oh my gosh the way that trombone swells

[nogens]

can we just appreciate how skilled the drummer and harp players are

[walterbirdwell]

I'm curious as to how many people get this on their recommended feed, and whether they are subscribed or not. Because I am subscribed but stuff from this channel never ends up in my recommended. Youtube really seems to have a problem with promoting real talent. I want more of stuff like this recommended and less garbage that I never watch (Like watchmojo lists). These videos are amazing, thank you so much for making them! This channel will reach 1 million subscribers and beyond eventually I'm sure, you deserve so much more than you have, I just feel like the algorithm is for some reason screwing you guys over.

"A new episode of Darkwing Duck?"
You monster! Now I want new episodes of Darkwing Duck, which will never happen!

[michaelmathew]

0:21, OML, that freaking sax part, *insert cry emoji*, SOOOO good. I wish there was an arrangement for this so bad
