She looks so proud of them that's really cute

I love it when the algorithm introduces me to something enjoyable like this. It only took it 3.5 years, but definitely a better late than never. Very well done arrangement.

as a Muse fan for 10+ years, i must say - this is a truly amazing and epic rendition of an equally epic song. given how much Matt Bellamy loves classical and orchestral music, i really hope he's seen this or maybe gonna see it one day.

Bellamy should listen to this. Imagine if he invite these guys to perform on stage alongside Muse. Epic

It is a travesty that KZfaq took 3 years to recommend this to me. Absolutely phenomenal work and an astoundingly beautiful rendition

1994 :Some guys from Devon over a tray of chips. "wanna make some tunes?" 2019: Orchestra assembled.

I love the passion from everyone involved, especially from the conductor. Also, she did a great job by giving each section a chance to shine.

It's 2am and I was recommended this after listening to the original song for the first time in a few years. I'm so happy I clicked on this.

It's a rare thing when an orchestral version can keep the dynamics of a rock song. Big respect for the arrangement and execution! When the singer started, I literally had goosebumps. Congratulations to everyone involved!

and yet another person that would have loved to see this several years ago, finally gets a chance to see it. very well done. left a late like also.

There's no other way to say it, that guitarist is SUCH a guitarist

After hearing this version my only question how has muse not written a Bond Movie theme

I wonder if the fellas from Muse have seen this version of their song ?? I reckon theyd love it !!!

I can't decide if my favourite aspect of this performance is the performance itself or the looks of pride and joy in the musician's and conductor's faces as they are performing it. Very brave to take on a piece that is technical as it is, nevermind figuring out an arrangement that gets the balance right for an orchestra! Bravo!!

A beautiful version of the greatest song I’ve ever heard

I love the trumpet usage -- a tribute to Ennio Morricone, who wrote the music to Once Upon a Time In the West, which this song references

This conductor is living her best life. Shes amazing. This is her team and she's led them strong af ❤

Man this gave me chills to listen to and brought tears to my eyes. The emotion in everyone's music was palpable.

waiting for Matt Bellamy to see this and play the original rock song with this orchestra and choir.

It's a joy to watch people having so much fun. Especially enjoy the strong upper fourth on "right" and "survive".

The algorithm sent me here at 3 am 3 years after this was uploaded. I’m a music education student and a massive fan of muse- this is incredible.

I love how a good piece of music sends shivers from the top of my skull to the base of my spine.

The Director looks so proud and everyone seem to enjoy it... that's what music and art are meant for. That was touching. Thank you!

A wave of goosebumps rolled all over my skin and then I spontaneously started crying. My body wasn't ready. BRAVO!!

A very dramatic Muse song that lends itself well to this orchestration. Love the trumpet 😄

The best drop in rock and roll history and you do it with one guitar? That should have blown the roof off!

I can't understand why KZfaq waited 3 years to show me this ! This i amazing ! I'm sure Bellamy himself would love it since how much it really renders the epic spirit of the original song. Congrats to all performers and arranger :)

By the look of the face I would say conductor had the time of her life enjoying every bit of it. And for the very good reason. I just loved it.

Why am I only just seeing this now. Amazing rendition

Literal chills the whole performance. Absolutely stunning rendition of a masterpiece ❤️

Absolutely the best orchestral version of a modern song I’ve ever heard. Watching this just wishing I could’ve been in that choir singing live with these amazing musicians, i can’t think of anything more thrilling. Beautifully arranged and a triumphant performance ❤🎉

I was blown away. I had this on in the background whilst scrolling then came back and watched the whole song. WOW!

This is the closest I'll ever get to seeing my dream of Morricone conducting Knights of Cydonia. Thanks!

If there would be a movie that would be using Knight of Cydonia in an orchestra version as an intro, I would have imagine it sounding like this. Especially with the choir part. This is amazing to pull it off!

I started listening to Muse because of Butterflies and Hurricanes and I was impressed with the way they used classical influences in their music. Knights of Cydonia is my absolute favorite song of theirs and I'm so happy you gave it an orchestral twist!

why the hell am i just hearing this now holy Shit i got chills. this is so insanely impressive

That's the most beautiful thing I've heard since a while

THIS is one of the most original things I've heard in a long time. @ 5:10 - Bellamy's lyrics by that choir... just epic. Well Done!

More and more brilliant every time I watch it. The depth, the nuance.

This should be seen by BILLIONS of people. Perfection at its finest. Even my neighbours listen to this at 3am in the morning. Idk if they want to but they do xD

okay, I legit had chills at the voice entry

Dudeee, this is heaven ❤

That trumpet! The choir! My goodness

Outstanding work ladies and gents!! Raw, delightful, grand and just gets epically stunning to that finale. Looking forward to much more!! 👍💯

I don't know if you still look at this account but this is one of my favorite things.

This makes me miss playing instruments. I had a music teacher that this one reminds me of. She was always so encouraging and got really excited for us when we advanced and learned and nailed performances. You could see pride every time she directed us, from beginners to advanced she was the same with everyone. Everyone got constructive criticism, everyone for one on one time and everyone got praised for doing the right thing and doing their best. What a cool show!

Absolutely amazing. I think the conductor is absolutely enchanting! That expression, that facial expression. Great!!!! I would have liked such a conductor in the past. ❤❤❤

The algorithm has blessed me with this one. This is unironically one of the most epic things I've ever heard! Incredible arrangement, only wish the microphone hadn't swapped mid-recording

The orchestra at the last rift just bobbin there heads at this masterpiece

I came here because just wondering an orchestral version of a beautiful song. I didn't expect to have an explosion of emotions and cry. That was WOW!

mark this day. you have sparked a revolution that will live on for eternity

This song has one of my all time favorite intros. To hear that song in this setting was pretty insane.

If the original song wasn't epic enough... thank you for this, words cannot describe what I'm feeling now

I love this version, I hear it once everyday. Absolutely brilliant. 4 years later, but worth it.

I could listen to this song all damn day

Nearly 5 years later, still Goosebumps...

I think I’ve showed this to 25 different people so far. It’s fantastic!

I freaking adore the Morricone-sque trumpets. Great job!

I awoke at 5am to begin my 3 day weekend...sipping on some coffee and enjoying this ..Thank You !

4 YEARS TOO LATE, KZfaq!!!! This is amazing! omg!

This is a beautiful arrangement. I'd be proud of those kiddos, too.

I can’t stop watching this. It’s amazing

Great interpretation of a great song! Congratulations to every single person on that stage.

The best of human beings working together

The song is epic as it is, but this, wow. Takes it to whole new level.

4:39 The guitar guy is so into it, love it

that drummer is the definition of self-control. the amount of effort it must have taken him to go through this whole song without bursting into a drum solo every second is inconceivable.

Ok, now I need a philharmonic orchestra version and Muse along with it! That was beautiful! I'm a big fan of the band! And I really like this song, it’s a true anthem! Please make more versions with Muse's songs! And I really hope Matt saw this! And I want a version of "Survival" from The 2 Law album!

The energy, the music, the performance. Love it! Thank you!

the galloping drumbeat is one of the most iconic parts of this song, im sad to hear it replaced with this tempo. Savagely interesting concept though, commendations for that much!

When the lyrics drop.. that is just chilling!

Brilliant performance❣ Goose bumps...

The conductor can't hide how fulfilled She is to be playing her arrengment in public, is also cute how nervous she look, literally gave me the chills! - BTW, it was an awesome performance...

That's some amazing conducting! Very consistent and clear to all performers! I really hope Matt, Chris or Dominic see this!

I’ve watched this at least 10 times in the past 2 days… incredible, moving, beautiful, just wow…

Very powerful ending. Love how it all ends on that note. Una orgullosa mamá de los pollitos.

Goosebumps... I have never heard a bad variant of the song and this is amongst the best!

Never heard of Muse but love this version. Obviously a school group from somewhere with a brilliant music teacher.

WoW - MAGNIFICENTLY COMPOSED! I especially loved the finale, with the skeleton sounding effects, holy shit, just hearing that in the background gave me goosbumps.

Man KZfaq did me a solid here. This is incredible!! What a hugely talented and creative group of people!

I didn't know I needed this version in my life. It's brilliant

Amazing performance! I love seeing in the faces of the students how much fun they had with this project. Great work, you definitely deserved your bachelors degree for that one :D

this made me smile uncontrollably - I can almost picture the epic fight scene this accompanies in a hypothetical space opera movie 😮😮😮

I would be losing it whether on stage or in the crowd and would be dying to jump around when the solo hit. So much to appreciate in this composition and the performance, and it also adds additional layers of appreciation to the original recording and live performance, such as how just 3 people can so naturally produce a massive wall of sound with some much impressive complexity and emotion.

There are so many layers to this video, but the thing that touches me the most is the universal effort to make a great performance. An excellent team rises to the occasion, and makes powerful music from a great arrangement. It's so much fun to see smiles closer to the end, when the performers are enjoying themselves. Music, emotions, happiness.

I have to say, even better than I expected it to be. Nailed it with the choir, that really fit the piece!

I rarely to ever leave comments here. Just wanted to thank you Tess Ringeling for sharing and producing this. Absolutely amazing.

Briliant. Amazing. Bravo.

This was absolutely amazing to find. The band did a great job. This is by far my favorite version of this song now. All I could think is how it would make some epic final boss battle music in a video game. Great job!

It's going to take quite a while before I actually watch this video. Chances are I'll have slipped the Sennheisers on, closed my eyes and just felt this magnficant work a dozen times first. Bravo!

Simply beautiful!!! Makes me want get up and sing at the top of my lungs with them. ❤️

This is truly beautiful, made me emotional

bravo à cette chef d'orchestre. on sent que les musiciens sont avec elle a 100% !

Dude, that singer just rocked!

This was incredible

KZfaq algorithm is on point once again! This is nothing short of sublime. Amazing arrangement, powerful performance! You've taken a great song and made it absolutely better. I hope more people see this, because the world NEEDS to know about it!

I admit I clicked with low expectations because I have this song in high regard. But fortunately i was wrong. It has its own character and instrumentation and voices are great. Great job and thank you!

What I just heard is something EPIC. Matt will greatly appreciate his love of classical music. Everything has been excellently made, every instrument, every note is perfectly in its place ... everything completes a spectacular, magical chorus. Congratulations to those who have had this wonderful idea and especially to those who have created, played and interpreted this milestone of contemporary music. This version will surely remain in history. Congratulations again.

The composers charisma and clear love for the song is infectious. Im a fan 😍

An simply awesome cover of Knights of Cydonia!
