Classical music in a WAD? Yes, it seems so. I know it’s a pk3 file (you pedantic fools!) but they will always be WADs to me.
This was composed for Abysm 2 EXPANSION: Spirit Falcon, a mod for GZDoom… It as fast as Doom, but it has some really awesome RPG systems. You start in a sort-of hub area… there’s a dialog system, player stats, stores, and quests. It reminds me of Strife to an extent, but I like the combat more. Check it out:

I had a lot of fun composing this… mainly because I love staccato cello and viola, but I also was able to sneak in some Roland SC-55 instruments. When I was first speaking with jazzmaster909 I assumed it would be DOS-style midi music or something similarly retro. They were like, “can you do metal or classical?” While metal is my favorite style of music, I don’t have an electric guitar at the moment… but I do have tools to compose some classical stuff. So, that’s what we went with. It’s kinda weird to hear my style of classical in a WAD, because I don’t typically use modern, processed instruments. So, I added in a koto from my Roland SC-55 VST, and I think it works.
Let me know how you like it… OH, and here’s some more music:
