Opening video music

[AROTH]

Can anyone advise if the music from the opening video in BHAH was made for this sim or is an already published classical piece?

 

I am a sometimes classical music listener, and while driving today, a piece came on the radio that sounded vaguely familiar. I turned it up and could swear it was the opening music for BHAH.

 

(I started swerving and aiming at other drivers - just joking!)

It is an original piece composed for OFF BH&H by Mr. Matt Milne. Gee I hope I got that right.

Perhaps you were hearing the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, a very famous piece of classical music (It was played at FDR's funeral). It is also used in the movie 'Platoon' and is used sometimes in the OFF menus, I'm not sure just when. If it was slow and very sad, that's it.

Yes the BH&H musical score is fantastic. I often watch the intro video to get in the mindset to go flying.

 

PS - AROTH that avatar is my favorite.

 

pretty much me as OFF loads up.

The only classical composition added in BHaH is Samuel Barber's "Adagio for strings" Op.11 -

a very melancholic piece, that fits to the drama of that war very well, I'd think.

 

All other music is from the composer Matt Milne - a soundtrack like made for a movie IMHO.

Yes, in Phase 2 it was also - and here it still is.

Yes, that is it. I thought I heard the name "Barber" somewhere in the radio announcer's description.

 

Thanks much for the replies!
