Writing an orchestral version for pop songs - need resources

I'm looking for scores of orchestral arrangements of pop songs. There are plenty to listen to such as arrangements by Cinematic Pop, Metropolis Orkest's collaborations, etc. But I'm unable to find scores or tutorials or dissections for these arrangements. Any resources you know of would be very helpful.

[TOMT][SONG][2010s] A song with a "bouncing" orchestral part throughout, that I've attempted to recreate with flat.io. I think it's a pop/indie song, maybe from Tiktok.

I heard this song somewhere, it may have been Tiktok, but I can't remember for sure. It has a "bouncing" orchestral part with an ostinato played on either a cello or bass throughout the entire song.

I've attempted to recreate this orchestral part using flat.io, and I think it's pretty close, but the key is definitely wrong. Here's the link: https://voca.ro/16my4OB6FwoP. The tempo is definitely very quick, and I'm pretty sure it's in 3/4 time. Probably a minor key, but I'm not sure.

The lyrics also sound very dark I believe, and are in a deep voice, can't remember any of them though unfortunately.

I've had it stuck in my head for a while, but can't seem to find it.

A singing competition show for pop singers about opera/old-school music, complete with *orchestral accompaniment*

It's a 2011 Russian TV show whose title translates to Phantom of the Opera, which I think might be interesting for Twosetters and a piece of proof that there is "mainstream" music TV that gives old/orchestral music the treatment it deserves. Too bad the show is short-lived, running for only 1 series.

Confession: I treat K-pop in the similar way I treat non-mainstream music (e.g. orchestral, chamber); I can't find myself watching live performances and dance-heavy MVs

In a previous post that I wrote, I shared about how I became introduced to new K-pop idols because of K-drama but I can't find myself listening to their groups' music. The responses I received really meant a lot for me as it helped me understand my state of mind, preferences or views when it comes to K-pop.

But there's are two more things I haven't shared about my K-pop experience, and I have stated them in this write-up's title. I know that these are just a matter of personal preference (We all have different tastes and approaches to music.) But do let me elaborate on these two.

I treat K-pop in the similar way I treat non-mainstream music (e.g. orchestral, chamber).

This might be no wonder for you since, obviously, BOTH are the same kind of artwork that is music. The same elements, rules and principles should apply whether it is an orchestral or chamber piece by Beethoven, Stravinsky, Varese or Messiaen, or a nice K-pop track by BTS, Twice, Blackpink, EXO (and so on and so forth, you name it).

But what I mean with this is that I seem to be like the "music theory obsessed" kind of K-pop listener.

Don't get me wrong: I'm no music student nor musician (I am an aspiring meteorologist hahaha), and I can't even read sheet music.

But I have been so interested with music and music theory since junior high, particularly in Grade 10 when our music teacher introduced us to music from the Impressionism period, to the avant garde movement, to electronic music in its infancy and finally to contemporary music. Along the way, I enjoyed learning the elements, rules and principles of music and listening to various orchestral and chamber musical works alongside pop music. I even downloaded sheet music from various musical works, attempting to read them along the music. And one funny thing, I really enjoy conducting! Even though I may be doing it erroneously, I just enjoy waving my hands or my arms along the rhythm, dynamics and textures of the musical pieces I listen to. To add, I can also sing, but I'm not confident (When I was younger, my parents pushed me to join a singing contest and I ran out of the venue when I was being called to go onstage).

The paradigm on how I was introduced to music in Grade 10 led to me to having the perspective that, since both are music, I can treat orchestral/chamber music the same as pop music, including K-pop. This coincid

[TOMT][MUSIC][PRE-1980] Very horn-heavy dramatic instrumental/orchestral piece. Sounds like it would fit in a movie. Once used as the intro music to S. Korean newscasts. Shazam thinks it's some 'Medley' by Fiedler and Boston Pops but doesn't narrow it down any further. Vocaroo in description.

Vocaroo

As stated in the title, it was used as the intro music to MBC (a South Korean TV channel) newscasts in 1980 and early 1981 (it was replaced by an electronic rendition of Holst's Jupiter by Isao Tomita), so I'm assuming this piece of music comes from before that. It could be an in-house piece of music, but seeing at how only 20 seconds of it was used (and seeing that they later used music from another artist, the aforementioned rendition of Jupiter by Tomita), I doubt it.

It sounds like it would fit some kind of movie (maybe some ancient epic), but I'm not sure what kind or what movie. I tried Shazaming it and it came back as just "Medley" by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. Problem is, Shazam didn't direct me to a specific medley or song, and the album it suggested was a cover album (I believe) from 2010, which would've been way too late.

I'm looking for a very specific type of music - It's a fusion of Baroque/Indie/Chamber/Orchestral/Funk/Electronic/Industrial/Pop

Birdmask is pretty much the only artist I know of that makes music like this. I'm looking for something with similar passion, musicality, and lyrical themes.

What are some solid orchestral pop releases of the past few decades?

I've mainly been into indie since the mid-2000s, but my favorite songs/albums tend to be orchestral across genre and I'm really enjoying this pop renaissance period of sorts. Chloe X Halle's Ungodly Hour and Chromatica are so musically refreshing that i've been looking for more stuff along those lines.

So any notable releases in pop of, say, the past 20-30 years? I've been finding a few great playlists on spotify but they seem to be more 60s-80s focused or those "classical goes pop" instrumental renditions.

Orchestral Pop James Bond like music video from the late 90's or early 00's in which an android woman is built by some scientists to seduce and kill a man. Tune included - Thanks!

Hello good people, I'm looking for a music video with a blonde woman (probably) from the late 90's or the early 2000's. The woman was in fact a robot and I remember her on the operating table half naked while some scientists built her (I remember her robot heart was visible in the video and she had no hair while she was built). I've found a similar question here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/5e3lqr/tomt_music_video_blonde_robot_girl_wakes_up_gets/

The song had some serious James Bond vibe to it from what I can remember and maybe the woman was dressed in black

Here's the song's tune from what I can remember: https://onlinesequencer.net/1743714

Please help me to solve this decade long mystery.

Greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
