I arranged ‘Crazy Train’ for 4 Tubas + Cimbasso and sang Ozzy’s parts
I thought some of you here might enjoy this absurd little low-brass experiment.
I arranged Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” for 4 tubas + cimbasso, played all the parts myself, and also sang Ozzy’s vocals. I also tried to recreate Randy Rhoads’ solos as accurately as I could on low brass, which was both ridiculous and way more fun than it had any right to be.
This is partly stupid, but not really a joke. I genuinely tried to make the arrangement work musically and keep the energy of the original while using the least reasonable instrumentation possible.
Gear used:
Melton 2250 F Tuba
Melton 5450 Thor CC Tuba, gold lacquer, early model with the smaller bell
Cimbasso
I’ve also made the arrangement public here, in case anyone wants to have a look or try it:
