Rhapsody is an Italian Symphonic Power Metal band, formerly known as Thundercross.

 Rhapsody Orchestra
Most special requests, if not on the band list, can be played by the band provided a recorded copy of the song is given to the band director 30 days prior to the event.
However the band members are always set up and ready to play at their contracted time.
There are times, both in wedding receptions and corporate parties, where the band is distanced from the dance floor either by tables, ice sculptors, wedding cakes, etc. This is a very poor choice if you want your guests to interact with the band and feel comfortable to dance.

Lyrically the band continues their story of dungeons, dragons, trolls, knights, swords, and holy battles of good vs. evil with the emerald sword still leading the way.

Most of the bands we're working with believe that audio taping is the cornerstone of their success, and they do not want to harm that form of free promotion.
The bands own the rights to their own sound recordings of their own live music, unless a particular band has granted another party (as in the case of a record label) the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute digital performances of its music.
Bands are making efforts to provide sound recordings that are not available elsewhere, but some of these recordings may be currently available through existing tape trading channels.

 Metallian.com - Rhapsody
Rhapsody, for those who have not heard the Italian band, can be described in two convergent manners.
A band that relies so much on orchestral, non-metal instruments and other effects must find it difficult to perform live shows and convey their sound in a live setting.
Fans of Rhapsody will definitely look forward to hear the band and their power metal sounds live but for others an epic metal release has to be exceptional to work.

In fact, nearly all the bands I listen to are European, and the musicians are greatly skilled.
Rhapsody is from Italy and was formed by guitarist Luca Turilli in 1993 with the intention of creating a powerful symphonic metal band.
I would describe Rhapsody more accurately as a neo-classical fantasy metal band, because although they are comparable to other power metal bands such as Iced Earth, Manowar, and Hammer Fall, they concentrate much more on the classical music elements.

 George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Other Symphonic Works
Rhapsody was a huge success, the day's most talked about musical "experiment" eclipsing the rest of the programme.
Rhapsody was a great "hit" through the years and in its first decade (which included the Depression years) earned the composer big bucks - over $250,000.
Enthused by Rhapsody's daring novelty, most critics found it possible to think of George Gershwin, then only 25, as a composer of "serious" music.

 SnakeNet Metal Radio - Home of the Metal Nation!
The Italian "Epic Hollywood Metal" band Rhapsody, formed under the name of Thundercross in Trieste 1993, has, with their three succesful album releases, 'Legendary Tales'(1997), 'Symphony Of Enchanted Lands' (1998), 'Dawn Of Victory' (2000) as well as their current 'Rain Of A Thousand Flames' (2001), gained a tremendous position in the international metal genre.
The band was formed by guitarist Luca Turilli and keyboarder Alessandro Staropoli, and from the beginning, they cleverly combined Rhapsody's music with classical elements as well as film music reminiscent of horror and fantasy sountracks.
Worth a special mention is the fact that Rhapsody have never before integrated the sounds of their native tongue, Italian, into the songs.

Donated to Marshall's Band by J.D. Parr of the Baker University band.
The Rhapsody, while scored for a complete Military Band, has been arranged and cued with the practical purpose of rendering it equally effective for smaller organizations as well.
Clever grouping of the most necessary instrumental choirs, a most reliable system of lettering in all parts and frequent mentronome indications, all contribute their share towards rendering the composition artistic and servicable for professional uses, rehearsals, etc., besides making it thoroughly practical for all instrumental combinations of reasonable size.

We've now got The Spinto Band's new album (which I've been listening to obsessively) and new releases from Annie (recommended danceable pop), Say Hi to Your Mom, and Sleater Kinney's excellent album The Woods (produced by Dave Fridmann, who has produced Longwave, the Flaming Lips, and Mercury Rev, among others).
Rhapsody also added a bunch of great back catalogue stuff, including Metric's Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, one of my top 5 albums last year, and a bevy of Minty Fresh albums from Komeda, Papas Fritas, and others.

 Biography
Only if you've been hiding in a very big and dark cave in the snow bound Himalayas could you have escaped the name of Luca Turilli and his impact on the world of Heavy Metal.
There are very few bands that can rival RHAPSODY in their chosen field of Epic Cosmic Symphonic Power Hollywood Metal - quite a mouthful you'll agree and generally sums up the complexity and sheer weight of technical precision of RHAPSODY's and Turilli's music.
Another heavier track is “Shadows Of Death”, a powerful piece in true Rhapsody tradition that, again, is driven by Turilli’s excellent leads combined with Staropoli’s brilliant orchestral parts.

The end result is what would be the band's strongest album to its time of release (I can't necessarily say it's their best album overall, because all of their albums are so good.) The band's biggest hit of all, the opera-influenced classic Bohemian Rhapsody, can be found on this LP.
The third song is the bombastic art rock classic "Bohemian Rhapsody." This phenomenal song can be treated as a parody of glam rock, or it can be considered in the context of a rock group that was unafraid of performing their art as they saw fit.
The album's title plainly states that the majority of its songs are over-the-top, operatic pieces, highlighted by the legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody", which remained at #1 on the UK charts for a then-record nine weeks.

The record producer Roy Thomas Baker remembers being at the apartment of Freddie Mercury, the singer of the British rock band Queen, one day in 1975 when the flamboyant front man played him a skeletal version of a song he was working on.
Queen's record company, EMI, was hesitant to release "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a single because of its nearly six-minute length; the band refused to edit it.
The song's stature has grown over the years: it inspired Slash, the former guitarist for Guns N' Roses, to be a musician, while Joe Elliott of the band Def Leppard first heard it as a factory worker in Sheffield, England, and dreamed of becoming a rock star.
