James Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I want to concratulate whoever thought of using Missorski's Night on a Bare Mountain as the opening music, a brilliant choice! Its both Russian and exciting, rather like this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soddball Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 How is the composer's name spelled? I thought it was Mussorgsky but am happy to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And I have always heard it called "Night on Bald Mountain". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I laughed so hard when I heard it, I made my wife come in just to listen to what song started the game off!! She looked at me as if to ask, So what? Great call who ever thought of that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymore Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 With the following comment I will likely be branded a malcontent but what odds Did the opening graphic with Missorski's Night on a Bare Mountain seem completely at odds with the splash screen graphic which followed it? Kind of a let down? In the first we see a startling real and stunning graphic with stirring music, only to be followed with a cartoonish picture and menu. It's a very minor nit, but the realism and professionalism of CMBB is not represented well by the splash screen. Think of it this way...if you had one graphic, which would you choose to represent the game? After reading the length and breadth of the threads following the CMBB Demo release I am sure of one thing. The sheer number of nits and lice complained about by the CM-faithful are startling close to those who actually experienced the Ostfront.

Lars Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 You have it right. Modest Mussorgsky 1839-1881 It's also known "Night on Bare Mountain". Terence, that's why you hear so much classical music in commercials. No royalties. And Claymore, the cartoon didn't bother you in Fantasia.

James Posted September 3, 2002 Author Share Posted September 3, 2002 Oh well, I was always a terrible speller, eshpeshally with Russian names. Anyway enough hair splitting, time for whoever chose that track to stand up and take a bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzkrieg Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 While I do like the intro music, that is one of the first things I'm going to mod soundwise when I get the full game. I'm going to use "Ride of the Valkyries" instead. "I love the smell of napalm..." Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatter Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Ya I too like the opening music, it gave me a chill up my spine, of pure excitement. I was thinking alright the moment you been waiting for. Lets go kill some Ruskies. Man 3 more weeks, its gonna take forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off because, see, I wrote nearly all of that music, and I don't see one thin dime. There otta bea law I tellya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbaumhauer Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 While I like the Mussorgsky selection they used, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 would have been a great selection, as it was written in 1943, in direct response to the reality of the tragedy that was the Great Patriotic War, and is renowned for its bleak, dark feel - very appropriate for the carnage we will all inflict/experience a less than 3 weeks.........
