it should be the same as long as you're using a dotted quarter metronome marking.

Just re-did N's Farewell in 6/8 - thanks for the tip  ;). I also noticed that my MIDI and SIB links to Great Canyon and Sinister Woods were corrupted somehow, so I re-uploaded them and they're fine now.

thanks for doing something of red/blue rescue team; finally someone does an arrangement.

Oh I was distrustful of mediafire too the first time I clicked on submission links on Ninsheetmusic. It's actually a very safe site as long as you have a good pop-up blocker and as long as you know which of the download links on the page is the one that actually gives the file. Don't click on the ads on the site and you'll be fine.

And yes, I adore Mystery Dungeon music, especially from Red/Blue Rescue Team, which is why I took the liberty of arranging a few pieces. These aren't the only ones I've done so far; I've got Sky Tower, Sky Tower Summit, and the Parting song already complete. I just need to make them presentable and in accordance to the Ninsheetmusic formatting guidelines.

Great Canyon sounds great!  It sounds really accurate!

HEY! My Sky Tower's been up for months!

http://www.youtube.com/user/BenSpinSpace
Your nick reminds me of this guy

Thanks for the compliment Clanker! Good start on Sky Tower too - I just finished an arrangement of it myself! You can get a look here:

Sky Tower (Two pianos):

To Fabbemannen - lolololol that made me laugh pretty good. I sure wish I could play as well as that guy. My name is simply a portmanteau (a combination) of Bespin (a planet in Star Wars) and my first name (Ben).

Your Sky Tower makes me hide in shame. I need to look at that piece again and fix it. Also Sinister woods is really good!

You, sir, can arrange!! Very well done on all of the above songs!
Now you just need someone to make them into MUS so they can be submitted. :)

Awwww don't feel too bad Clanker37; for such a long song like Sky Tower, your version is pretty good. The only thing that could really need some fixing in your arrangement would be the rhythms for the melody line. Aside from that, it's a good start. And, by all means, feel free to use my arrangement for a reference if you want; your awesome solo arrangement paired alongside with my piano duet for submission sounds like a good plan eh?  ;)

...and to Fingerz --- Thank you for the compliment! It really means a lot to me, especially coming from you. I really like your arrangements, and I'm always amazed at the sheer mass of songs you're able to output in such short periods of time. I will eventually submit my arrangements in .mus, but that will only happen once I learn how to use the most infuriatingly frustrating program known as Finale (in all its incarnations). I'm not saying the program is bad, I'm just saying it has a really large learning curve  :P.

FINAL ANNOUCEMENT! Dun, dun dun dun!
Just completed my two piano arrangement of Kanto Wild Pokémon Battle from the first season of the anime (i.e. when the show was still good). Take a look!

Thank you. You are the first person to tell me what is wrong in detail. Now I have a slight chance of fixing it.

Oh no problem! Glad to help   ;D  Sky Tower is totally one of my favorite songs from PMD so I'm fully willing help you with it

That Sky Tower is for two pianos! D: Is there a way it could be played on one, or...?

Well, I arrange for two pianos so I can get more instrumental parts into my arrangements (the original OST for Sky Tower has a celesta, a choir, a string section, a flute, an 8-bit sounding bass line, and a synthesizer). I've been helping Clanker37 fix up his arrangement of Sky Tower (which is for solo piano), but as you mentioned earlier, the link to it on his submissions page is broken. If you wanted to learn Sky Tower on solo piano from my two piano arrangement however, you'd have to pick out for yourself which parts are the most essential, which most of time is the bass and the flute, but that's a little too much to ask of a new pianist like yourself.

Don't worry. I'm fixing mine now ;)

...whoa, all those instrument things confused me xD That all converts into piano how?

I saw that small text :P
That's fine; it's a reasonable question. I'm not "converting" these instruments into piano per se, I'm just listening to what notes they play via a youtube video and then write those notes into my music writing software.

You should get all the credit. I'm practicaly stealing your notes XD

But you have to compress all my notes into a two-hand format, hence the credit is yours. But thanks for the thought! Also, "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" from PMD 2 which I'm working on is starting to look pretty good! I can't give you a peek just yet, but expect something (hopefully finished product) within the next 24 hours.

But without your notes it would still be a horrid arrangement!

Also 'I don't want to say Goodbye' makes me cry. I know that the arrangement will be stunning.

I'm excited for these!

Due to popular request on the Request forum (and due to my own long held desire to do so), I have completed my arrangement of "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 EoT/D/S! Wonderful song. I have not yet edited it for proper beaming and finger positioning (not to mention lots of ledger lines), but all the notes are there, and it's fully playable. Enjoy! Bask in nostalgia overload!

89 - 103 looks very similar to a Virtuso arrangement  :o

I take that as both a compliment and a warning to myself Clanker  :P. You see, one of the people on the Request forum said they would prefer a more difficult version of the song, so I included a second voice in measures 89 - 103. However, I need to be sure I do things like that sparingly because, as we both know very well, difficult arrangements are not accepted very often on Ninsheetmusic - just see how many of Maestro's arrangements get on site XD (4 out of his library of what, 30 submissions are actually on site). Here's a tip when going through measures 89 - 103: the notes with the accent marks are the melody, whereas the notes marked stacatto are all the optional second voice. When I convert my score to Finale format, I'll try to make that a little more clear, and possibly insert something to the effect of "Red notes with staccato marks are optional."

Just uploaded Sky Tower Summit from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon R/B RT! I've had it essentially completed for a month now, sitting inside my computer, but I thought it was high time I finished the last 5% of the arrangement and submitted it.

A relatively minor announcement, but still very important to many! I no longer use Mediafire for file storage; I have switched instead to Dropbox. Why? Two major reasons: (1.) Some on Ninsheetmusic forums have been unable to access my arrangements because Mediafire has too many ads that it crashes their computer (Oritendo for instance), and; (2.) Dropbox provides direct linking, which is awesome. Direct linking means that you don't have to go dropbox.com to download a file. Rather, you just have to click on the link I post for the sheet music and ~TADAA~ you've already downloaded the file.

Ooooh good! :D

Yes I think so too! Direct linking reduces a lot of hassle and improves effieciency in the file sharing process. On a side note, I started working on Pokémon Square from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team, Nebbles  ;). It's a very interesting song, as it has the feel of a Scottish strathspey (a form of traditional Scottish dance music). Maybe it's just the bagpipe and the fiddle in the OST that gave me that impression XD

Treasure Town feels that way too, with the bagpipes and all.

Just completed my two piano arrangement of Pokémon Square from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue team! It's a very catchy song, and it has the feel of a Scottish dance, especially with the bagpipes and the fiddle in the OST. Enjoy!

meh.

:I Well considering I only have one keyboard yeah not really.

I arrange a lot for two pianos in order to better recreate the sounds of the original music. Also, another deciding factor in whether or not I make a song a solo or a two piano duet is the setting of the song itself in a game. Take for example the setting in mind for Pokémon Sqaure - there's a lot of hustle and bussle going on, people talking, merchants trading (Kecleon) - it's more appropriate for two pianos as it provides a better sense of the largeness and noisyness of the song. On the other hand, take for example "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, which I arranged as a solo. The song is better suited for piano solo as the song is very intimate and heartfelt, expressing the sorrows and sentiments of your partner.

I can arrange a solo piano arrangement of Pokémon Square for you though Nebbles, if you want  ;)

It would be nice if you tried to make solo piano arrangements along with your duets. The duets sound fantastic, but then I get saddened by the fact that I can't play them. :P

What impeccable timing you have Wii Tank. I just happen to now be posting a solo version of one of my duets!

that's why I never submit a duet without making a solo piano version.

I suppose that's a good mantra to follow Shadoninja. I may just follow that advice, as I don't want to see more saddened faces like unto Wii Tank's upon seeing that I lack a solo version of an arrangement.

However, perhaps that sadness might be lifted somewhat by my newest solo arrangement of Pokémon Square?  ;)

:D There we go!

Yay Nebbles! I hope you like my solo arrangement  ;D

Word of advice while playing it: at the beginning, in order to sustain the low bass note while playing the top notes in the left hand, you have to use the sostenuto pedal (the middle pedal of the piano that most people don't know what it does). What that pedal does is that it sustains just one low chord while the other notes are unaffected, allowing you play the other notes in the left hand staccato.

>3< I don't have a pedal. I have a keyboard. So when I get good enough to play this, I'm gonna have to do without.

No pedal huh? That's a problem, mostly just for the beginning though. If that's the case, I'd recommend leaving out the high notes in the left hand and just do the low bass, possibly with an added octave.

All right, sounds fine to me.

That pedal only lets notes continue ringing which are depressed at the time the pedal is used.
In /some/ older pianos there is a pedal in the middle that replaces the sostuneto pedal with one that only lifts the mutes for the lower 2 octaves.

I'm a little jealous, cause i have the other pedal I described. It /can/ be cool if you press it and play your higher octaves staccato, cause the sympathetic vibrations from the lower strings create a really intriguing aura effect.

So, I assume you have a more modern piano?

I wish! I'm just a poor college freshmen with an eency-wincy keyboard. I do, however, really like pianos with the true sostenuto pedal, not like the one my family has (and apparently the one you have) that just lifts the mutes for the lower half of the piano. Course then again, I bet there are some high-quality pianos with a proper middle pedal in the music building at my university.

wonderful job with "I dont wanna say goodbye".  :)

Why thank you oritendo! That means a lot to me. Also, getting rid of Mediafire was no problem at all; in fact, it was the best thing I ever did. Why, my new file storage program (Dropbox) beats Mediafire by a thousand miles, especially with the direct linking capabilities.

Just completed my SOLO arrangement (yes, amazing right?) of the Menu Screen song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue team. I have always liked this song since I felt it to be very relaxing with its innocent, happy, and joyful color. Unfortunately, I couldn't carry over all that feeling into the MIDI, but hey, that's what performers are for! Well anyway, enjoy!

By all means, please check out this awesome arrangement!

Well let's see. As far as this song goes, since I was only able to listen to the midi  and view the PDF, not MIDI, I really like your use of pedaling, and the fact that you did make it possible to play. most versions of this song are impractical to play. I enjoy the dynamics you used. The end was odd though

Thanks for the input!

Yeah the ending was really out of place. Blame Shinji Miyazaki for that - I arranged from the anime version. I mean really, what's with the jazz chord ending at the end of an epic tune like that?

And yes, I am a stickler when it comes to dynamic control. Sometimes I spend hours on end just trying to edit an arrangement to have the playback just as I want it.

Funny thing is, I hardly wrote any pedaling for this song at all, except for the (let's count) 4 spots where I indicated usage of the sostenuto pedal. Maybe my minimal usage of pedaling is what you like about it? I dunno XD

Another funny thing is how you say that "most versions of this song are impractical to play." You see, one reason why I arranged this song is because I could not find ANY sheet music for Johto Wild Pokémon Battle in ANY form on the internet, so I decided I would make sheets myself. So that leaves me wondering - where did you find these other versions of the song!? I guess you just googled harder than me  :P

Just completed yet another song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon R/B RT. It actually does not have a specific name, but I did some google searching and found out that it is commonly referred to as "Escape Through the Snow" or "Snow Refugees." This song plays while you and your partner are fleeing from Team ACT (who want to kill you) as you walk through a snowy path heading towards none other than the dangerous Frosty Forest. Despite these settings, the song is very plaintive, and perfectly captures the feeling of snow falling as you trod down a seemingly endless path. The OST also sounds somewhat similar to Schala's Theme from Chrono Trigger, strangely enough. Enjoy!

It seems I have a knack for choosing to arrange songs that not only I like, but others like as well  ;D

On a side note, this song is particularly interesting because, if you noticed, you can hear a bit of "Run Away" in it. It's also interesting in that it somewhat sounds like Schala's theme from Chrono Trigger.

PMD had such great stuff. The fugitive story is so sweet. ;A;

Indeed. The fugitive arc is so very compelling, and really shows your partner's character emerging, forging the unbreakable bonds of friendship as he/she resolves to stay by your side through thin and thick.

I can't wait to reach that spot in my LP... oh, it's so great to play. The future arc in PMD2 is beautiful too.

Wow! Pokemon Square is excellent! But the rythm is a bit off at 11 with the Cs in the background. Escape through the snow is also good!

Thanks Clanker! Great to see you back :)

And about the "rhythm being off at 11", do you mean measure 11 of Pokémon Square? If so, I don't think there's anything wrong there, if you listen to the orginal. But if you seriously think there's something odd, please, by all means, tell me. I want my arrangements to be as accurate as possible - NO MISTAKES.

Oh and guess what Clanker! I managed to convince fingerz to let me arrange the Credits song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon R/B RT!  ;D ;D ;D (WIN)  ;D  ;D  ;D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Oh I found out what you talking about with the "rhythm being off at 11" Clanker. It's supposed to be that way, the bass on a syncopated rhythm and the "background C's", as you call them, keeping the beat.

Alright! It took me longer than usual, but in the 5 day span between my last update, I've managed to complete my arrangement of the ultra epic "Credits" song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team. It was quite a challenging piece, and I'm afraid that, unfortunately, I will not be arranging a solo version of this song, as there are far too many intertwining parts to encapsulate in a solo arrangement (I even had trouble fitting all the parts in the duet). However, if someone still desires a solo version of this song, he or she may use my two piano arrangement as a reference point to make a solo arrangement for him or herself (*wink, wink Clanker37*).

Yes I got your message, hopefully hinted by my *wink, wink Clanker37* in my last post. And thanks for the comments as always Clanker! They really help keep me going.

I'm going to start on arranging "Run Away" from PMD R/B RT now, since I made a promise to Wii Tank that I'd arrange it. I hope it doesn't take 4 whole days like the "Credits" did, but if it does, that's fine.

POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON CREDITS IS AWESOME!! Very well done, Bespinben. I couldn't have done better. ;D

Aww, thanks fingerz! That really means a lot to me. However, considering you've been arranging far longer than I have, I think if you did it, it would have been just as good.

...Hehe, I really don't want to steal yet another project of yours, but already my eyes have fastened themselves upon Tiny Woods. Would you mind if I arranged that?

Just kidding XD

Also, if you change your mind and still want to arrange Tiny Woods, you can, since I'm working on "Run Away" from PMD 1 at this moment (also known as "Fugitives"). However, if you are sure about letting me arrange Tiny Woods, I promise I will do my very best on it.

Bespinben! Stop stealing our PMD Music! We'll have nothing to arrange in a while! XD

Well then you'll just have to arrange them before I do XD

(or just simply say NO you can't take that)

Oh yes, better hurry on that Clanker, or I might take that too XD

You got side-tracked with solo-fying my arrangements maybe? XD

Can't wait to see how you do on arranging "Treasure Town" Clanker - best of luck!

Can you possibly wait a while? It's gonna take some time -_- sorry

Ffff yes I can wait

Don't make me feel guilty! Oh fine I'll work on it now!

Yay! Can't wait to hear it (*highfive Nebbles*)

:D Yayyyyy~

Uh-oh We have problems

...D:

Have you thought about putting your arrangements on the site instead of mediafire? Mediafire scares me D: lol

I actually stopped using mediafire quite awhile ago. Click on any of my song links on page 1 and you'll se NONE of them use Mediafire. The best thing about my new file storage system is direct linking, meaning you get the download as soon as you click on my link.

Oh. Lol i see...how's it comin tho? Good i hope :)

Oh, the arrangement's looking pretty nice. I'll be done soon, hopefully - NO, I WILL be done soon.

On a side note, once I finish "Run Away," I plan next to arrange "Through the Sea of Time" from PMD2 (also known as "Sacrifice") and "Tiny Woods" from PMD 1 (a really catchy song that oddly enough is written in all in whole tone scale).

What do you mean by whole tone scale?

the scale consists of notes that are a "whole tone" apart. so for example, C D E F# G# A# C. a whole tone scale sounds very mysterious and ethereal.

Think of Mt. Moon from Pokémon RBY. Whole tone scale means that all the notes in a scale from C to the higher C are played with 1 whole step between them, resulting in the following scale: C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, C. The effect of a whole tone scale is a feeling of eerieness, dreaming, and surreality.

After much prodding from xK-NiGhTx, I have at last completed my arrangement of "Run Away" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team (also known as "Fugitives"). This particular song is quite reasonably a fan-favorite among PMD music junkies, and so perhaps those aspiring pianists who wish to re-visit those cherished, heartfelt moments may now have their wish granted. Please enjoy this labor of love! ~(it took me a whole 6 days GRAAAH)!~

 :o It's very complicated. Having a second player play in both staves at points can get hard for players who don't have a pianist frind. When you have the quaver chords in 27-32 it isn't held for the correct amount of time, but it does make it easier for single pianists. Well done! You captured the piece very well!

The thing about 27-32 was that I tryed to combine the first and second layers, because it looked REALLY messy. The downside of that however was that the melody chords (highlighted by accent marks) aren't held long enough, as you said.

Quote from: Clanker37 on July 28, 2011, 01:12:48 AMWell done! You captured the piece very well!

Thanks Clanker! This song was really hard to do, since I had to fit so many intertwining musical parts from the OST into a solo. But all in all, I'm glad my arrangement came out to sound as it was intended to sound. I hope that the 10th stretch in the bass line on 21-22 and 25-26 doesn't bother to many people though XD

Lol i was prodding...sorry :P oh! i have a recording of run away...but it's not the best quality D:

No, your "prodding" as I called it was a good thing - it helped keep me on task. It's like a refrigerator magnet I once saw that said, "I'm not a nag, I'm a motivational speaker." XD

If you have a youtube account, maybe I (and the rest of us here at Ninsheetmusic) can see your beautiful playing  :D

P.S. I've been working on "Tiny Woods" today and it's almost done - if you stick around a while longer (an hour or two maybe) I'll have it up.

I have completed my arrangement of "Tiny Woods" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team. I tried to make it as playable as possible, but the song itself was inherently difficult. Still, I think my arrangement turned out pretty well, despite the mess of cluttered notes it used to be. I find this song very suiting for this particular dungeon in the game, since it perfectly represents the surreality and sheer wackiness of the situation you're in, the situation being that you just woke up finding yourself transformed into a Pokémon and have no memories of your human life besides your name. A word on performance of this piece: try to keep the tone as light and playful as possible; this song is not meant to sound frightening or creepy, despite it being written entirely in whole tone scale. Best of luck, and enjoy!

BESPINBEN! Tiny Woods is good, bit it's insanely difficult! You could give Concerto a run for his money espeacialy with those semi-quavers in the left hand. Is it really necasary to have notes which are an octave apart and then go leaping up the piano to another note and then another which is two octaves away? It's not a bad thing and you can arrange which everway you want to, but I'm just sayong that because this isn't a Virtuoso piece you don't need difficult notes. Aprat from that it's very acurate! Well done!

It's accurate but nearly unplayable, just as Clanker said! xD It's a very good arrangement though. Here's what I had in mind--I would just make a sample but I don't have Finale anymore--instead of having the C be 8vb perhaps you could move it up an octave, make the next note middle C, and after that the G# above that? It would be far easier to play.

It really is a great arrangement though! xD I bet this was hard to do.

Quote from: Clanker37 on August 01, 2011, 12:31:08 AMBESPINBEN! Tiny Woods is good, bit it's insanely difficult!

Thanks for the comments guys! I knew when I posted this I was going to get a little grief over that, but I made it that way because that just what the song is.

Quote from: Clanker37 on August 01, 2011, 12:31:08 AMIs it really necasary to have notes which are an octave apart and then go leaping up the piano to another note and then another which is two octaves away?

Like I said, I only made such leaping intervals because that was what the song does in the OST. However, I suppose I don't have to do it that way, but it would really grate my perfectionist nerves if I had to change it to something else. SlowPokemon's suggestions do, though, sound like a good plan. If anything, the only real difficulty arising from my arrangement are the jumps in the left hand, so if I simplify that, then perhaps that would monumentally increase playability.

I'll see what I can do about simplifying it while maintaining integrity to the original. Thanks Clanker and SlowPokemon! Off to work on Mt. Blaze (or "Through the Sea of Time" if I change my mind).

Alright, here is my attempt at a more simplified version of my arrangement of "Tiny Woods" from PMD 1.

I realize for the most part that it sounds for the same, and that was my intention, to keep the original sound while increasing playability. If any of you guys have more suggestions on simplifying this song, please voice your opinion, as this is a work-in-progress.

not letting me view PDF, I can't read SIB

Try clicking on the PDF link again. If that doesn't work, then I'll repost the link.

I clicked on it three times, the bar fills up but the file won't load.

Try it now. I re-uploaded them.

Tiny woods solo works best for me, nice job!  :)

Thanks Oritendo! Nice to hear from you  :)

I'm working on "Through the Sea of Time" (otherwise known as "Grovyle's Sacrifice") right now, so you can look forward to seeing it in a while. After that I'll be working on "Mt. Blaze" from PMD 1.

...how the hell is that simplified DB

@Bespinben: yeah, I haven't been here for a while. btw do you think you can make something like apple woods of PMD2? thanks!

Quote from: Nebbles on August 01, 2011, 10:57:11 AM...how the hell is that simplified DB

Well, it's simplified in the left hand, which is where Clanker and SlowPokemon were saying had too much octave jumping which constituted to major difficulty in playing. I know it still is hard, but that's just the way the song itself is. But trust me when I say it is A LOT more playable than the original arrangement was.

@Oritendo - I totally dig your B/W Typhlosion sprite  ;D  Thanks for the suggestion btw, but I don't really like Apple Woods all too much. I do like SOME of the song though, especially the really catchy part at the beginning. Still, I may get around to doing it, just not in the near-future.

Oh I love Apple Woods, was considering doing it but can't now due to lack of Finale Notepad serial number D:

Check out this thread on the Ninsheetmusic forums, SlowPokemon. It may just solve your problem.

I just tried the link, and it works, download page and all  :D

Yeah I know, thanks. :P I'll download that now.

Also don't arrange Apple Woods, I'm close to being finished with it.

I won't, for sure. I was only saying I might to Oritendo at that moment since I didn't realize you were already working on it. Even then, I wasn't entirely wishing to work on that song. So Apple Woods is, and has been, all yours.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on August 01, 2011, 12:57:01 PMAlso don't arrange Apple Woods, I'm close to being finished with it.

that was fast, or were you working on it before?

I started today. It's not hard to arrange, but my grandmother got here in town just now so it could be a couple days.

Oh yeah and I just like this song anyway, I was already planning on arranging it. :P

It's a good song. Makes me feel light and bouncy, like Wigglytuff. That, and for some reason, the beginning makes me think of stirring soup in a pot for some reason  :P

Yes, the mechanical feel sounds kind of like stirring soup. It's very steady and insistent, but a bit uneasy, kind of like going through some place and seeing a lot of strange things.

@SlowPokemon - Great job on Apple Woods! I left some critique of your arrangement on your thread, if you wish to see it.

@xK-NiGhTx - Sweetness! I can't wait to see this song performed, nor can I wait 'till you share your Youtube username so I can see it and your other works XD

For a 50 second long song, it sure took a lot longer to arrange than I expected. Ignoring that, I'm happy to announce that I have completed my solo arrangement of "Through the Sea of Time" (also known as "Grovyle's Sacrifice") from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. I don't particularly have any thoughtful analysis for the song this time, other than it is just sheer epicness. With that said, please enjoy!

Wow, you're really fast at arranging! Well compsred to me anyway...

Through the sea of time- WOW! That's very accurate, but once again I'm almost sure it's virtouso from 12 - 20. It gives it a full sound, which is good, but not many people can play it...

Just a side note - Bespinben, you have succeeded in posting more in four weeks (approximate) than I have in the 6 months I've been here XD

Hehehe, I used to think I was really slow at arranging, considering that it took me a whole month to arrange my Sky Tower duet before I started my submissions thread. I must be getting faster with practice.

Speaking of months, it has been exactly 1 month since I started my submissions thread, on the day of July 2nd (today is August 2nd). I haven't quite realized how much I've arranged and posted in that short time frame, but now that you mention it Clanker, it's frankly and surprisingly true. Heck, I've outnumbered the quantity of posts in my submissions thread than Fingerz, whose thread has been up since January. I must have caught the SlowPokemon mass posting fever XD

And about "Through the Sea of Time," I actually first meant to write it as a duet, but then I challenged myself to see if I could fit all the parts in a solo, which I actually did, barely. At least there aren't any absurd leaping octaves in this piece like in Tiny Woods XD

Just completed a two-piano arrangement of one of my personal favorites from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon R/B RT --- Mt. Blaze! This song carries such an endearing tone of trajedy, hopefulness, and adventure, perfectly representing the situation you and your partner are in as you trudge through the treacherous Mt. Blaze, hoping to lose your persecutors with such a risky maneuver. Please enjoy!

Finally, an arrangement I recognize! This is really good, Bespinben! I just have a couple of suggestions:
Measures 42-57: I don't think pedal is needed.
Measures 50-57: Does it really need to be slowed down to half speed?

...lemme guess mt. blaze will be a duet only? :C

At least the RBYG battle theme isn't!

@Nebbles - Well you see Nebbles, Mt. Blaze's melody is actually a musical motif used in several dungeon themes throughout PMD 1 (see Sky Tower [2 & 1/2 minutes through], Sky Tower Summit, and Mt. Blaze Peak [which I haven't done yet]). The reason why we can identify that same melody line as a different tune is because of the unique instrumentation and harmonics characteristic to the respective dungeon theme. As such, writing Mt. Blaze as a solo or any other song that shares this melody would depreciate the very identity of the song, making it hard to tell whether or not the song is Mt. Blaze or Sky Tower two and a half minutes through, due to the fact that one simply can't fit all the musical parts unique to these songs in a solo. If I saw a way to write it as a solo like I did with Pokémon Square, I happily would do so, but I can't see a way to do it for Mt. Blaze. I'm glad that you're not disappointed with my RBYG Trainer Battle though  :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Dudeman - Thanks Dudeman! Yeah, I have a lot of obscure arrangements don't I? I'm glad I did something you recognize. Now about your suggestions:

Measures 42-57:
I used the pedal like I did there in order to sustain the low perfect fifth in the bass clef that the right hand crosses over to play in measures 42-49. I also think it gives that section an interesting "operatic" feel, which is why I kept pedaling up to measure 57. I also thought the ritardando and following accelerando gave a nice touch to measures 50-57, and really helped bring out that section as a climax to the song. (Just for reference, it didn't go to half speed - it went from 170 bpm to 130 bpm)  ;)

There's a couple bits in there that have the right hand stretching too far, I think. It still looks a lot more playable than most other arrangements I've seen though.  :D

I just listened to the original, and the speed doesn't change at all. Well, It's never a bad thing to derive from the original a little. although it grates on my perfectionist nerves...

I really like how you start the arrangement!  :)

@SWMadness - I peered through my arrangement, and it appears the most I ask the performer to do in terms of stretching is a 10th in the right hand at measures 65 and 67. Still, that's fairly hard to do for a number of people, especially when going at 170 bpm on staccato-ed eighth notes, so thank you for pointing that out.

@Dudeman - I know the speed doesn't change in the original, but considering Dahan's arrangement of this same song on site has a tempo that's way faster than the original, I thought a little creative license was acceptable. However, what I really want to know is whether you think the variations in speed in that section add to the song, or detract from it. Essentially, was it a good addition or not?

@Oritendo - Oh yes thank you for commenting on that Oritendo! You see, unless you're a crazy asian pianist who can play non-chromatic sixteenth note runs at 170 bpm, most people can't play the beginning of the Trainer Battle. As such, I employed my creative faculties to reduce the former sixteenth note runs at the beginning to a string a eighth notes that maintains the same progression as the original.

Well, I'm a perfectionist, so I'd say the speed should stay the same. That way, it's more of a transcription and people will recognize it better (sort of).

Thanks for the input! I'm usually the same as you Dudeman in terms of sticking precisely to the original if you see some of my other arrangements and compare them to the original, but I thought I'd go out of my norm for this arrangement and see what would happen. Now that I have seen what would happen, I'll probably switch it back to the unvarying tempo of the original when I decide initiate my .mus conversion project, which is gladly recruiting volunteers  ;)

Mt. Blaze is very accurate! Well done! But I fail to see why it can't be turned into a solo piece...

Thanks Clanker! It's always my goal to have the highest degree of accuracy in my arrangements.

Quote from: Clanker37 on August 05, 2011, 12:45:43 AMI fail to see why it can't be turned into a solo piece...

Hmm.

That's ok. Just think about what I said for little bit and let it soak in  ;)  

Oh and btw, I'm a little low on things on to do for my To-Do list, so if you got any suggestions, please, feel free to share  :)

Ooops! I accidently posted ! XD I was acctualy meant to ask whether I could try to make a solo out of it. I can already see bars that fit together in a solo, but if what you say is true, then I'd most likely fail, but I'm really eager to try!

You have my full permission to arrange a solo version of any two piano piece I arrange.

^Thanks, now I don't have to pester you any more!

It's ok ^_^  You're "pestering" adds to my post count XD

Just kidding. It's really no bother to me at all. I enjoy our conversations.

Alright! I just completed a two-piano arrangement of one of the BEST songs to be found within the Pokémon Black and White soundtrack--- Kanto Champion Battle. You heard me right - it's a remix of the tune you hear when you fight Blue/Gary. It's a shame that you never actually get to hear this song in the game though, but it's in the game's programming, and apparently it's supposed to play when you fight the World Champion on WIFI. Please enjoy this piano arrangement of such a marvelous incarnation of the Kanto Champion Battle theme!

Very good! The right hand of the seconf piano from 37- 42 is probably the first batch of semi-quaver runs I've seen in VG music that are playable without insane leaping and months of practise. Well done! Your arrangements are slowly getting easier and easier to play!

Thanks Clanker! Yeah, the sixteenth note (semi-quaver) runs in 37-42 are for the most part just chromatic scales, so if you're good at playing those, you'll have no trouble with measures 37-42. However, the irregular tuplet in measure 32 may be problematic, but if it's too hard, then you can just not play it, since it's fairly non-essential. I still wrote it in though since that's what in the OST.

Way back before I even knew about Ninsheetmusic, I had always felt a special connection with the "Parting" song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team that plays as you say your last goodbye to your partner and ascend to the heavens to return to the world of humans. That very song was the first video game song I ever learned to play on the piano, and prompted me to later learn more pieces I liked from video games and to better my own knowledge of the piano. However, when I learned it, I did so by ear using a recording I took on my camera. Since then, though, I've learned so much more about piano, allowing to me to finally make sheet music for this most dearly beloved song, which I now present. Enjoy!

Thanks Warioman! About your question, no, you can't battle Red on B/W, though I have heard it was debunked idea. Apparently, you can hear this song in-game during the finals at a VGC. I've also heard it plays when you fight the "World Champion" on WIFI, though, no one's quite sure what that means.

Actually, it's Blue, not Red; also, I think they may be planning some sort of event battle with Blue, similar to the event in HGSS where you discovered that your rival's father was Giovanni, then battled Giovanni. (That's just a rumor I heard though, this may just have been cut out of the game)

I have the hidden tracks and the World Champion battle is on there, they're not the same. The World Champion is for the Random Matchup, when you face the #1 Trainer. (so not many of us will get to hear that! ;D)

Woops XD

Wish I had piano playing friends who shared my interest in VG music. But that's why I'm on Ninsheetmusic, because you all fulfill that wish of mine  :D

My piano teacher played some duets I wrote with me.

But I never shared them with NSM, 'cause they aren't like the original songs. They have a lot of changes in them, cause I like to build on VG music.

 :o :o :o :o :o

THAT   IS   EPIC!

Stuff Mario Kart replacements! I'm on the solo! (Unless you have an unresistable urge to do it). Bar 19 and others are stupidly hard! But apart from that WOW

IT'S SO EPIC

Wow! Thanks so much Clanker! I'm glad I lived up to your expectations of epicness  ;D 

About bar 19 (and similar ones): I'm not actually asking the performer to specifically to play those exact notes in exact time, as it's not actually possible considering the tempo. I'm actually implying that the performer use an octave glissando to slide up (or down) to the final note while maintaining the octave position. I realize this technique is infamously painful if not done correctly, but such is the price of epicness. Besides, if you're using a keyboard, then octave glissando shouldn't hurt at all.

Just got back on the forum...been away for a while...and i'm done learning the parting song :3 gotta admit, first time i played it i cried.

Trainer Battle (SOLO): yup, probably the best/easiest version by far.  :)

Thanks Oritendo! This is a song I actually tried to learn to play on the piano (most of the things I arrange I don't actually learn myself), so I made it so that the only sixteenth note runs in there were chromatic. I also made measures 42-49 more suitable for two hands, since the original requires 3 hands at that section. I also made the left hand very simple (just alternating perfect fifths [which it is in the original {most of the time}]), so that the player could let the left hand go on autopilot while he/she focuses on playing the difficult right hand. Finally, I made sure that the different voices in the song were distinct from eachother in the sheet music, making it so that you knew what was the melody, what was the countermelody, and what was the bass. Dahans' arrangement combines it all into one layer, so it's hard to see what's the melody in his arrangement. Anyway, I'm glad you like my arrangement!

And sorry I haven't posted any new arrangements for a while, I've been trying to convert my current arrangements to .mus. Once I'm done with that, I can get back to making new stuff.

INITIATE PROJECT .MUS CONVERSION!
Volunteers needed!

That's right, I am now attempting to convert my arrangements into .mus format thanks to my recent acquisition of Finale 2011 so that my work can be submitted to the site. I will need assistance in carrying out this project, as I have thus far arranged 21 pieces, each being fairly long and many being duets. To make this easier on myself (and to all potential volunteers), I downloaded a trial of version of the newly released Sibelius 7 which has built-in MusicXML export so I can convert my .sib to .xml, which converts better into Finale than through .sib to .midi and then importing the .midi into Finale. As such, I will post an .xml file paired with its .pdf of the original for each of my current arrangements so that I (and anyone willing to help) can import the file into Finale and edit the .mus until it matches the PDF.

Please proceed to the "Help" section of the forum and find the thread entitled "PROJECT .MUS CONVERSION" if you would like to contribute. Or click HERE (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=3624.0) if you're lazy.

Just listened to your R/B/Y Trainer Battle (posted in the submission thread), and it is very good.

Apart from the beginning (the two first measures). Sorry to say, but it sounds like two out of three notes are missing. The song is meant to have an "exploding" start, this just stumbles awkwardly into the melody. I can't really see why you did that, could you please explain? The rest of the song is awesome, keeps going at the right pace, so why did you make the intro like that?

Quote from: Bespinben on August 04, 2011, 12:38:45 PMYou see, unless you're a crazy asian pianist who can play non-chromatic sixteenth note runs at 170 bpm, most people can't play the beginning of the Trainer Battle. As such, I employed my creative faculties to reduce the former sixteenth note runs at the beginning to a string a eighth notes that maintains the same progression as the original.

^That would be my reasoning  ;)

I love it when people answer questions for you and they say exactly what you were thinking of saying XD.

I still don't think it makes any sense, because the bass just a few measures later runs just at the same speed. Even though the notes are closer to each other, you still need the same finger speed to play it. It's just a matter of memorizing the intro.

I suppose you're right. Here's the .mus with the introduction as per the original: [MUS] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35209091/RBY%20Trainer%20Battle%20Theme.mus)
I also re-did all my MUS, MIDI, and PDF links on the forums to link to the new version I just gave you.

If anyone still wants the version with the simplified introduction, please feel free to PM me, and I'll give it to you.

That's more like it ;D
Could perhaps be stretched out a little for easier readability, but that would tip it over to five pages in length, with a single bar on the last page. I think that if you have trouble understanding which notes to play, this probably isn't the song for you anyway. Roll with this version. The rest of the arrangement was already fantastic. I really hope to be able to play this song one day; it's one of my favourite video game songs ever.

Thank you for arranging it.

You're very welcome Cobraroll! I actually took up piano as a hobby only 2 years ago so I could learn to play the Trainer Battle theme, as it too is one my favorite VG songs of all time. The simplified beginning that was in the old version was a remanant of my attempts of trying to learn the song. I got the song down pretty well now, but I'm still practicing my chromatic scales every day so I can build up the necessary speed to play the section of the song that has them.

In midst of my painstaking .mus conversion project, I still felt the need to arrange something new. This time however, I felt inspired to create a small ensemble as opposed to my usual piano arrangements. The piece in question would be "Bubbles Shining over the Sea" (alternatively known as "On the Beach at Dusk") from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky, one my favorite songs from that game, as it's so peaceful and relaxing. This is also the first thing outside of piano I've ever done. Please enjoy!

Be assured, I still will make a solo piano arrangement of this song, so worry not  ;)   

A few comments on your small ensemble arrangement of "Bubbles Shining over the Sea." As a bassoonist and a wind player, there's absolutely no way I would want to or be able to hold a Bb the entire song. You didn't show where to breathe or give the player any chance to rest. That Bb begins to get into the tenor range and any bassoonist's embouchure would die going for that long on that note.
I'd rewrite the Bb, F#, Eb chord as an Eb minor chord, or Eb, Gb, Bb where appropriate. Keep the inversions, but just change all the F#'s to Gb. Makes a lot more musical sense.
And for the solo cello part, double and triple stops (multiple notes at the same time) are doable and writable for that instrument. However, they are harder to play in tune the higher they are. Intervals of a 2nd (upbeat of the 4th beat in measure 15) are impossible to triple stop well. I'd recommend transposing this to Solo Viola when it reaches the higher octave and you'll find more of what you're wanting to write.
It sounds fantastic. Good job. Your RBY battle sounds great as well. There's some reach issues in the left hand at times, but it definitely sounds the most like the original. If only all the parts could be playable, it'd be perfect. Some songs from games just can't be replicated to the fullest as we'd all like.
That's a long post. I hope it doesn't sound all negative or bad. Just trying to help. Never said it before, so welcome to the forums. Good job on what you're doing and keep up the good work! :)

an easy way to change all F#'s is to use the note mover tool.
click on a measure with the note, then the box next to it. up at the top click on "note mover -> search and replace...", you'll most likely want "in all octaves", then click on enharmonic. after that click search at the top and then replace all.

A couple weeks ago, Bespinben made an arrangement of "Butter Building" From Kirby's Epic Yarn and gave it to me. Although it was a gift, I insist that he should keep it, because the accuracy of the arrangement is astounding! I will be posting this in my arrangements, but it's really Bespinben's. Enjoy, and thank you Bespinben! ;D

I was really surprised to see that the Johto Wild Pokémon Battle theme from G/S/C versions had not yet been arranged, so I took the liberty of making an arrangement of it. You will notice that there is no .sib file, meaning that I arranged this entirely in Finale, which is a big step for me.

I'm attempting to try something larger this time, so I decided to arrange the Champion Battle theme from Pokémon DPPt. I tried to replicate the original song from the game as much as possible, resulting in a lot of instruments that are only played for a few measures in the arrangement, as you will shortly see:

@xK-NiGhTx - Thanks for the encouragement :D  I'm still the only one working on the project, despite my efforts for advertising. It's nice to know that at least spitllama wanted to help, but he said he's too busy. Makes me wonder how Dudeman got so much help during his .mus conversion project XD

Wow... great!

Quote from: Bespinben on September 01, 2011, 08:18:43 PMMakes me wonder how Dudeman got so much help during his .mus conversion project XD

I actually didn't get much. A lot of them I did myself in Finale Notepad after I found out my mom had had it for a couple months.

Anyways, this is really good! I've never played diamond or pearl, but I just listened to the OST on youtube and you've covered everything! Wow!!

Kinda hoping you finish soon so i can get my hands on Goodnight and Bubbles Shining Over the Sea ;)

Jeez, I really gotta finish up MUS-ifying my other arrangements XD No more procrastinating with making new stuff!

And to those who take an interest in my current projects, I would like to say that I am currently making an orchestration of Sky Tower from PMD 1 as well as orchestrating N's Castle from Pokémon B/W. Both are being done from scratch, unlike Champion Cynthia Battle, which I made by importing a MIDI and editing it.

*happy face*

I have been working VERY hard on this latest orchestration for the past week now, and I'm very happy to now present my orchestral arrangement of "Sky Tower" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team! Please, PLEASE, feel free to give any critique whatsoever on the arrangement, as I am still a novice with orchestrations and am unfamiliar with things regarding correct score order and the like.

I designed the playback specifically for Finale, so if you do not have Finale 2011 (which I made the .mus in), please download Finale Reader 2011 so you can listen to how I meant the song to sound (MIDI does a terrible job of that) or request an MP3 from me.

P.S. This arrangement was done entirely by ear, except for the percussion tracks, which I used a MIDI to acquire as I know nothing of drum notaton.

 :o
That-Is-AMAZING!!!

It's so accurate! So wonderous! I absolutly LOVE IT!!

Thanks so much Clanker! I really put A LOT of effort into this, so I'm glad you like it :D

Now presenting my latest orchestration, "Great Canyon" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team! Enjoy!

"Great Canyon" (Small Ensemble + Choir):

The lyrics used in the song are borrowed from ScytheRider's PMD fanfic "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Silver Resistance". I definitely recommend reading it, as it's a rare gem amongst the usually low quality fanfics out there. The words used are actually from the creedo of the resistance team that the protagonists join, which, in the author's note, is revealed to be lyrics the author wrote for the song "Great Canyon". How fitting.

I love your Kanto/Johto anime battle theme! Post it in the anime thread (music section!) Keep on arranging anime music :D, so I am not the only one xD.
I will listen to your orchestrated arrangement when I come home!

You're definitely not the only one who is arranging Pokémon anime music Dahans. I'll be sure to make more arrangements from it more often, so you and Metroidfan won't be so lonely on that thread  ;) I can't wait to hear your input on my orchestration too :D

Great Canyon sounds pretty awesome. Really nice work.
Sometimes, you have dotted notes against each other. The better arrangement of those notes would be dotted quarter, eighth note tied to a quarter, then quarter (or whatever follows). It sounds fine on the midi, but reading it would be much easier on the performer. Really, any dotted note (in simple meter, better watch myself) should be followed by the note that finishes the beat. So a dotted quarter would be followed by an eighth note, or a dotted eighth note by a sixteenth. Simplifies errthing.
The notes are kinda low for Bass trombone. The lowest note most can play is that C below the staff. I think the Tuba would sound a lot better because of it's warm timbre meshing with the Baritone line as well. Tuba and Trombone sound pretty similar too so the adjustment would aid the sound of the ensemble.
I was blown away by how well the midi sounded. An excellent work is you. Bass trombone sounds grand on the midi, but I think Tuba would work far better in the midi and during performance. Unless you're a bass trombonist that's really good in which case I shouldn't be talking XD

Thanks for the helpful advice, as always pumpy_heart  ;) I believe I've now fixed the rhythm notation errors in the score as described above, so you can look at that in the following link to confirm my belief if you wish: [MUS] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35209091/PMD%20Great%20Canyon%20%28Orchestrated%29.mus) [MIDI] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35209091/PMD%20Great%20Canyon%20%28Orchestrated%29.mid) [PDF] (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35209091/PMD%20Great%20Canyon%20%28Orchestrated%29.pdf)

Now about the bass trombone. I actually had debated whether or not to use a tuba or a bass trombone even before I started writing up the sheet, but I concluded to use the latter because it had a more penetrating voice. In the original song, the instrument used for that line was a synthetic bass, so you could hear it well amidst the other parts. Also I realized that that line required a flexible instrument to play the sixteenth note rhythms further into the song, so having a tuba play that part would add unnecessary difficulty to the performance. Finally, according to my 5 minutes of googling, the bass trombone is typically scored between Bb1 and Bb4, so there are definitely no unplayable notes in the part. Hope I didn't come off as bashing you or insulting you; just trying to defend my position.
[/quote]

No, I understand. It works. The Tuba can make just about every sound a trombone can in that register too. It's your call though.
And the sheet looks gewd now.

This song is just so epically epic. I had to arrange it.

Well it was "Defy the Legends!" from PMD2 so I guess you didn't technicaly steal it...

Well, I hope you understand that I didn't mean to arrange that under your nose Fingerz. You know that I always ask you first before I arrange something on your to-do list (PMD Credits and Tiny Woods are good examples).

At heart, my music experience lies in choir. As tribute to that, my latest orchestration of "Mother Zone" from Megaman Legends 2 has been arranged for Harp and 4-part women's choir. The choice of song is also my own tribute to the recently cancelled Megaman Legends 3 project (I waited 10 years for this sequel CRapcom, WHY?), hopefully expressing the melancholy in my heart and my pity for the Blue Bomber still stuck on the moon.

Another nice arrangement. Just use G#s. The reason for this is because it temporarily modulates to Aminor, in which scale degree 7 is raised (in all minor keys, that is).

Fixed. Once again, your knowledge of music theory has proved most helpful, pumpy_heart. Thank you :)

I tweaked the vst's just a bit. Sounds nice, I think.

Note: Be sure to listen with head phones to catch all of the sounds.

This is absolutely amazing! All the transitions between sections are so smooth now! I can't thank you enough for the time you spent to make my arrangement sound so nice. I especially love how you were able to bring out the heavenly, ethereal sound that I was intending for the flute solo at 2 minutes into the song.

I'm going to continue this conversation via PM, as there a few things I think still need fixing. Thank you so much!

Not a problem at all, buddy.

Don't Bespinben, you've done a great job on the Boss Battle song. I can take it off my list now. XD

Thanks fingerz! You know, if you're still itching to arrange one of the boss battle themes from PMD, there's still the normal boss battle theme to do.

Yes, I'm planning to arrange the normal battle in the future. :)

One my friends on Deviantart suggested that I orchestrate the "Mt. Blaze" theme from PMD 1, so I took up the offer since I had already arranged a piano duet of the song and because I wanted to orchestrate it anyway.

I must warn that there is a problem with the repeat structures in the .mus file at the moment. I tried to create a "D.S al fine" repeat structure in the song so that way the song loops at least once like it would in the game and then ends with the ending I created. The problem is, when the playback jumps back to the "segno", it puts the repeat number on 2, so the playback ignores my first and second ending markings. If someone out there can help fix my problem, that would be awesome, because as of now, my "D.S al fine" repeat is only text.

Very nice orchestration. The flute and picc should work. You could take the flute up an octave to make the flute more audible at times, but that's up to you.
The only thing I see problematic is that the whole piece is in C minor (key sig of 3 flats) and you have it in either Bb Major or G minor. I know that the A is sometimes natural, but this accounts to the use of a D minor chord instead of a D diminished chord.
Good job. Keep up the good work!

I suppose it would be plausible to bring the flute up an octave, but that would significantly stray from the original song. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thank you pumpy_heart! I was very puzzled over the key signature, so thank you for clearing that up.

I'm missing my Goodnight! D:

Oh right, sorry about that Night. I'll get to that straight away, right now in fact! Thanks for reminding me.

And I want to see more videos on your youtube channel!

I don't really have any backstory behind this arrangement, other than the sudden desire to arrange it 8 hours ago.

The section where the repeat begins borders on unplayability, so if any of you guys have any suggestions on that, please feel free to share. I'm thinking of maybe eliminating the sixteenth note run second layer altogether and adding chords to the first layer based on the tones revealed in the sixteenth note runs... I dunno.

The song sounds really nice on an electric piano, so that's an option to consider if you're going to play my arrangement.

I should keep you on task more often! Thank you!  ;D

btw...i feel like a music noob right now lol but i've never heard of 15ma. it's on the last measure? what do i do there?

Oh this looks extremely easy :D

This is probably the first time I've ever been told one of my arrangements looks easy :P Yay! (But that's probably because I usually always tackle really complex songs that would naturally result in tough arrangements) Thanks Nebbles :)

Oh, Night, 15ma is pretty much "double" 8va. Instead of playing one octave higher than written, you would play 2 octaves higher than written. AND I WANT TO SEE SOME MORE YOUTUBE VIDEOS FROM YOU!

I think in measure 5 that last rhythm in the right hand should be and eigth tied to a sixteenth and then a dotted eighth, rather than the other way around. Just looks more natural that way. Also, near the end, where the rhythms in the right and left hands are the same, they should be notated as such. I would change the left hand.

Pwetti.
As well as what IAmYou said, the rhythm in the bass of measure 15 and 16 should be the same as the treble. In measure 5, I'd use a Gb instead of an F#. Falls to the F in the next measure more than the F# does.
Good job though.

Problems solved! Thanks for the help as always guys. I'm sort of embarrased about my mistake with measures 15-16 :P I remembered that you're never supposed to write 2 dotted quarter notes in succession in duple meter, but I guess I forgot to do the same for the left hand. Haha~

Surprise, surprise! A non-Pokémon arrangement! I was scrolling through the Ocarina of Time arrangements when I found that the amazingly epic Ganondorf Battle theme had not yet been arranged.

While writing out the song, I quickly discovered why the song had not yet been arranged - the time signature is BONKERS. If anyone has any opinions concerning the time signature, please feel free to share with me your opinions. Also, I'm very unsure if there is a definite key signature for this song, so please share your thoughts on that matter too. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the song is in 8/4 if you listen to the bass (divided into three-note sections), and I think the key signature is C minor.

Quote from: Bespinben on October 10, 2011, 01:35:50 AMSurprise, surprise! A non-Pokémon arrangement! I was scrolling through the Ocarina of Time arrangements when I found that the amazingly epic Ganondorf Battle theme had not yet been arranged. Being one of my favorites from that game (another being the Final Ganon battle theme [also not yet arranged]), I had to arrange it.

I SAID IT WAS WEIRD, NOT BAD! I KNOW ITS EPIC AND KICKASS!  ;D Just like Ganondorf! 

Hehe, thanks guys! Big thanks to Dudeman for the key signature suggestion; I've implemented it into the score now ;) I will have to disagree with the time signature being 8/4, since I experimented with it and found it to not work at all. I'm still concerned about my enharmonic spellings though...

The epic tennis match of the century between Link and Ganondorf, only on channel N64...

GJ on Goodnight. It's a good arrangement.

Thank you Slow! Always a pleasure :)

Woohoo! It was hard but definitely worthwhile with this arrangement. It's such an awesome song. Now presenting the "Monster House" theme from PMD 1!

James Bond much?  :P

Wonderful as always! But a still looks very hard to play

Thank you Clanker! Thing is, the song itself is inherently challenging, and I really don't see any way I could make it easier. Much appreciated though!

It's late and I'm not in the best of moods. Just a warning. This is all meant to be critical critique and nothing against you. If I offend you, I'm really sorry. I'll try not to.

I looked at the duet you said I should from Clanker's topic. Apparently I missed something from both of yours. In measure 9, the half note is positioned wrong. Beat 3 must be shown.
It's a transition period either way you look at it, that measure. You could theoretically have one piano in 12/8 and the other in 4/4. You could have the part stay as written. Or you could write it all in 12/8, using duple divisions of the beat in 12/8 time. The duplets work like triplets, except it's two in the time of 1 beat. To get a duplet to fit a beat of dotted length, use two notes a third of the dotted length. So for 12/16, you would use 2 sixteenth notes.
There's a chromatic descent in measure 17. Think you know how to notate those now.
I think that could've been one of the best duets you wrote so far. Good job.

I looked at Monster House too. There's some descending chromatic runs notated with sharps. Better to do those with flats. Starting in measure 5, it's safe to say the key is D minor. It modulates in measure 17. I would bet the last note in the treble in measure 18 is supposed to be an F#. If so, yay. If not, I see why not. But it's heavily revolving around E minor until measure 22. Here, it starts modulating every measure. Instead of notating a key signature, it would be better to just notate the notes in which key should be altered. It starts in A lydian, based on the key of E major. It keeps modulating every measure to the end. I see no problems with how you notated those, but using the flats and sharps in a tonal area could cause confusion. So just change all the flats to sharps.

I probably didn't leave you any room to learn. But I feel a little better now. Maybe I can sleep now.
^ego.
Keep up the good work. It's great to see pieces being arranged daily. :)

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I wrote this arrangement back in July before you had taught me about the conventions of rhythm notation, so that's why the problem is there.

Ooh! I like the idea of having piano 1 in 12/8 and piano 2 in 4/4, but I don't know how well Finale would like that. Besides, I don't think having those triplets is hurting anything really, so I think it's fine.

Yippee! Thanks for the help again :) All suggestions have been applied (I think). And don't worry, you did leave some room for me to learn; I had to look up what you meant by "A lydian." Apparently, it's a type of scale I've never heard of before! Based on what I read, would "Lost Woods" from LoZ Ocarina of Time be in F lydian? Back on topic, I know you told me not to change the key signature for every modulation, but I thought I should try to figure it out anyway for practice. Once I know I got them right, then I can get rid of the signature and just let the notes themselves reflect it. The same link should bring you the updated .mus.

MONSTER HOUSES

Bespinben! Orchestral version of Sky Tower is awesome!! Very well done! :D :D

Sweet dealz, all around.
I had to double check, but yes. Lost Woods is definitely F lydian. Good tool to remember.
Thel modes can be seen in video game pieces from time to time, but I think if you can just recognize apparent key signatures, there's no need to learn the names.

I also hate monster houses, but I just less than three the music that seems, like, 1000x more intense because I'm really close to dying.
Anyways, that's what Foe Fear Orbs are for; I like to use Slumber orbs or the ones that make them pause, but the effects aren't as permanent.

But yeah Bespinben, thank you for making that.

Where is your Monster house arrangement? I can't find it and I wanna listen to it!  :-[

No problem! Yes, I must say that was a considerably difficult song to arrange, but the effort definitely was worth it.

This wasn't on my to-do list, but I'm usually the most productive when I arrange from spontaneous desire. Now presenting my solo piano arrangement of the "Buried Relic" theme from PMD 1!

I really like the chords in the second section of the song. The progression from the 7th chords to minor 6ths feels so dramatic, almost tragic in fact, reminding me of my foolishness for forsaking my humanity to explore accursed 99 floor dungeons. I mean sure, being a Pokémon was fun and all, but I really wanted to return to being a human at the end of the game. What about my family huh? Wouldn't they be worried if I suddenly disappeared out of nowhere and never came back?

Nice, Bespinben! :D
You've done an excellent job with that arrangement! I was gonna add that to my TO DO list, but since you've done it and done such a wonderful job, I don't have to!

Neat little piece there.
You spelled all the chords correctly too. Good job!
I would think of this piece in G dorian (key of F major built around G). The Eb serves as a mixture. Saves you an accidental here or there and never is a B natural called for.

Woot! I did something right for once, haha :P

That's an interesting little tid-bit of information. When I wrote this, I kind of thought this piece as modulating between C major and Bb Major every so often (based on measures 1-4 and 5-8). I guess I was close enough, considering I spelled the chords right XD Thanks as always pumpy!

----------------------

@fingerz - Oh I didn't know that! Well anything to save you work is cool by me :) Thanks for the compliment too !

:D Well done.

Thanks Nebbles, glad to hear from ya :D  I'm thinking of arranging the "Kecleon Shop" theme next.

This is such a wonderfully catchy tune, I had to arrange it. Well, I hope you all enjoy my solo piano arrangement of the "Kecleon Shop" theme from PMD 1!

I suggest watching the youtube video for listening purposes, as I used the high-quality "Steinway Piano" piano sample in Finale 2011's "Aria Player." The youtube video also has better dynamic balance.

It's great! Are you going to do the PMD2 one?

You: Finally! A Kecleon Shop! We've reached floor number 99 and I'm exhausted, let's buy something!
Partner: Look at this ribbons, great!
You: I'll pick one... OK, let's go! Only one floor left!
Partner: WAIT! Don't forget to pay...
Kecleon: THIEF! CATCH THE THIEF!

You: Oh, no! I'll pay it! I just forgot!
Kecleon: THIEF! CATCH THE THIEF!
You and your partner: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU





So yeah... Very good arrangement...  ::)

Yeah, I have nightmares about Kecleon shops... Very nice arrangement, Bespinben! I love that jazzy bar before the main melody comes in. :D

Well, WarioMan, Theif! will be arranged once I get through all my requests. XD

@Clanker - You'll see that I have both Kecleon Shop themes from PMD1 and 2 on my to-do list on the front page, so yes :)

@Warioman - Oh gosh, that would be horrendous!

@Fingerz - Thanks Fingerz! I like that part of the song too ;) On another note, I'm having some trouble with Lapis Cave at the moment, partly because the rhythms starting with measure 2 are so strange. Even slowed down to 25% speed on Audacity, they're still hard to discern.

I had suddenly gained an interest to learn to play Lavender Town on the piano, so I looked up the sheet on the main site. It came to my attention that the quality and accuracy of the sheet was quite lacking, so I decided to make a replacement.

Sooooooo...what else ya got? ;)

Well, I happen to be working on my orchestration of "N's Castle" from Pokémon Black and White at the moment. I'm getting close to finishing, so I might have it up in a few days.

Oh yes, Treeshroud Forest was pretty funny when it came to those key signatures. I'm not entirely sure if they're correct, but they seemed like the best ones to me.

I'm also working on a piano arrangement of "Oracion" from the 10th movie "Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai."

(...and thanks for the compliment Clanker  ;))

Wow, very nice, Bespi!  ;D
Looking forward to see your orchestration of N's Castle!  ;)

Somehow I don't think a person with only two hands can play that

I make extensive usage of specific pedaling techniques in this arrangement to ensure it can be played with two hands (look for "sost." and "Leo" markings under the staves).

....damn.

^_^ Thanks

I think I might arrange Temporal Spire next, since it would only make sense given that I just did Temporal Tower :3

Nice piece. Definitely playable by the right person.
Some general observations: Beat division should be clear and phrase modulations should be notated with the correct key signature.
Dotted note rhythms shouldn't be notated as two (or more) dotted notes next to each other in a duple meter (such as this one). And sometimes, you did the rhythm 8th, 16th, 8th, 16th, 8th, which disguises one of the beats. Easy fix for both. Same for the key. It clearly modulates from A minor to E minor a few times. Both of these help the player's performance of the piece.
You have a clear notation of hand position and where each hand goes. Good job with that, and this piece overall.

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. The piece never uses an F natural, so this leads me to believe it's in A dorian, based on G major, with the key signature containing F#.

Thanks for your tips as always pumpy! I appreciate it  ;D

Quote from: pumpy_heart on December 06, 2011, 03:53:38 PMEDIT: Sorry, my mistake. The piece never uses an F natural, so this leads me to believe it's in A dorian, based on G major, with the key signature containing F#.

I must point out that there are F naturals in the piece at measure 7 and 9. These are the only times it appears though, so I don't know if that would have any bearing on the key signature.

EDIT: Of course, if it did, then the only difference would be whether saying it's in E minor or G major, so I guess it doesn't really matter, since it would still show up the same on the sheet.

Yup. And you could start the piece in A minor, then change to E minor (A dorian) when the tune starts.

Quote from: GoronsOrchestrated on December 07, 2011, 04:31:15 PMGeez! And your telling me to rework my sheets into arrangements!

That I did. I provided VERY specific playing instructions in my arrangement, notating my hand-crossing and pedaling with utmost clarity. I also hand-tested almost every chord in the arrangement to make sure it didn't feel awkward or require intervals larger than a 10th. Just because something looks hard doesn't necessarily mean it's unplayable.

I just came from the shadows to say... Bravo. I wish I could play that right now. Good luck with "Temporal Spire"!

Also, in my little free time I've been doing a "Gargoyle's Quest Project", with every song from Gargoyle's Quest: Ghost'n'Goblins. I liked it a lot! If you don't know which title to buy, I'd recommend you GQ!. I just finished GQ on Virtual Console, and I realized that the soundtrack is pretty good! Did you know that Yoko Shimomura was involved in this game's music? It surprised me! It's a very different style to the Mario and Luigi series!  ;)
This is very offtopic, but I just have time to see how the forums are going, quickly vote in some polls (Morpha FTW!) and then back to work. Let's see... maybe next week I'll start again with arranging. Exams finish this Friday! :D
Well...
...
...
Nothing else.

Under usual circumstances, I would've posted this in my "project .mus conversion" thread in the Help section. However, due to the fact that I pretty much completely overhauled my old .sib arrangement of "Primal Dialga" while making the .mus (rewrote the entire piece in common time [original was in cut time], used new clef changes, utilized cross-staff tool, and employed a third staff for the right hand of the first piano near the end of the piece), I thought it expedient to post this in my submissions thread. That, and it would give those who hadn't looked at my arrangement back in July a chance to see it.

Don't forget to put the heartgold/soulsilver national park on your to-do list! I want that song so bad :O!

You silly. Look at my to-do list again. It's on there. Oh, and you can get a sneak-peek of my progress on National Park so far on the Request thread for it.

O.O i would never be able to play that xD

You could always opt for learning the original GSC version of National Park.

'tis true...btw i'm in progress on my first 2 arrangements!

I got the idea to make this far too late after the first NSM arranging contest closed submissions. For those who don't know, there was an arranging contest on the music board to see who could best invert the mood a chosen song. Oh well  :P Maybe another contest with the same objective will roll around and I could submit my arrangement then:

Today, I present my arrangement of "In the Hands of Fate" from PMD2. I thought some of the notes were wrong on Clanker's version onsite, so I decided to make a replacement. Enjoy!

I'm always surprised that, even after all the work you've put into PMD2, there always seems to be some cool tune left in the game for you to work on. I'm enjoying reliving them so no stopping anytime soon 8)

;-; You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that spitllama. Thank you for appreciating my work.

Don't worry, there's still PLENTY of songs left for me to arrange, so I won't be stopping anytime soon ;) The list is too long for me too post here, so I'll PM you with the list.

Oh man...nostalgia attack. D: I absolutely loved this game and this music is just beautiful! I'm so glad to hear an arrangement of this! I will definitely put this on my list of songs to perform. I feel so inspired all of a sudden. xD

=O If you ever do learn this song, PLEASE put it on your Youtube so I can watch. Oh man, I'm all excited now  ;D  Thank you, thank you!

Clanker37 had started had made an arrangement of this song already back during the Summer, but the rhythms were a complete mess, so I decided today to fix it up for him.

You can take my PMD, but you'll never get Thomas the Tank Engine!

That reminds me, I still haven't finished our "Race of Friendly Rivalry" XD

Yeah, but enjoy yourself, remeber what counts is taking part xD

Hehe, I haven't arranged a PMD1 piece for awhile. I'm not sure if I want to make a piano arrangement of this piece, due to the fact it would be hard to translate the many overlapping parts into a two-hand format. Anyway, do enjoy!

@Clanker - Go play it. Now. Only you can stop the meteor.
@stargrrl - Inorite!?
@xK-NiGhTx - Yay :D :D :D

Y is there 3 staves? 0.0

The left hand is split into two staves for clarity. I wrote in LH for the middle staff so you know that the left hand is to play the bottom 2 staves. I originally was writing it out planning to use layer 2, but it looked really messy since the harp and bell parts were always going lower and higher than eachother.

If I keep up the arrangements at this pace, just maybe :3  I really don't know how I got on this arranging spree in the last 5 days. Maybe it's because I'm not trying to arrange ultra-dense songs like Temporal Tower.

This one's awfully short...lol

It's as short as Sky Tower is long :P

I'm wondering if I should steal "There's Trouble" from fingerz... if you noticed, I've been arranging pieces from the beginning of the game.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe i should hurry and finish my stuff so i can help you out :3

XD I thought you may have caught on to why I highlighted "arranged by someone other than me GRAAAH" in red on the list I sent you by now.

But I can't hog all the fun, of course. ;)

Here is my arrangement of the almost over-the-top happy-sounding "Happiness" theme from PMD1 that plays when you complete a rescue mission. If you listen to the OST, you'll remember what I mean, as the instrumentation and high-sounding octaves make it feel almost too much. It's like, "THANK YOU FOR RESCUING ME <3 <3 <3" in your face kind of gratitude.

I just love how expressive stick figure faces can be :3  I'm going to drive you nuts if I can keep up this arranging spree Clanker :P

I kept you in the "Arranged by" list because, despite having the tempo completely wrong, somehow you made the playback sound right for the most part. I think that takes some skill. Besides, when I posted it, I said I was fixing it up for you :)

You're driving me nuts as well. HOW U WORK SO FAST?!?!

This is like the coolest song ever in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I was playing the second piano part a little bit at school and someone went by me and asked "are you playing Superstition"? I lol'd. Enjoy~

@xK-NiGhTx - Maybe because I stay up until 4 am arranging :P

Are you trying to arrange the entire game? XD haha do eet

I'm guessing you saw the bottom of my first post on page 1  ::)

That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do. It's also a personal race to see if I alone can complete this arrangement project before the Dragon Quest project gets completed. I doubt I'll win, but it's a good motivator.

no. I just keep seeing your thread updated with a ton of PMD songs. O_o

Ah, ok.  ::)

You should finish up the PMD2 Sky "Title Theme" that you started Slow ;) Join in on the fun

Bespinben, stop arranging! I can't keep up D:  But, can you do Frosty Forest, pwease? :3 I love that piece.

Don't do Mt. Horn or Steam Cave. They're taken.

Frosty Forest is great, though I think I like Frosty Grotto a little better. I'll arrange 'em both ;)

DAWWWW, Steam Cave is so dark, and has such an awesome bass. It's all yours though. Just make sure you arrange it soon so I don't have to restrain myself not to.

For a couple weeks now, I've been wanting to steal Mt. Thunder from fingerz's to-do list. I knew that I shouldn't do that, so instead did the next best thing; I made an arrangement of the song that plays immediately after you get through Mt. Thunder -- Mt. Thunder Peak! Enjoy~

So I was fiddling on my piano today, and while doing so, I decided to start playing my arrangement of "Snow Refugees" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1. I quickly discovered that by lowering the melody an octave and by having the left hand play it instead of the right, the playbability substantially increased. As such, I now present a nicely revised re-arrangement of this wonderfully plaintive and beautiful piece.

@xK-NiGhTx - Wait a sec, if you didn't ever get to 99 floor dungeons, does that mean you didn't play through the post-credits story? There are a few plotholes that are resolved in that arc, such as "if it wasn't you from the Ninetales Legend, who was it?"

@SlowPokemon - Yeah, there are some tremolo-ing steel drums going on in the song, so I thought the end would be a nice place to incorporate them.

@fingerz - I see you are pleased Master.

Trumpet (not anymore tho)
Euphonium (switched from trumpet)
Guitar (just a little)
Church Organ (I play at church for work)
and I sing.

That's why my performances thread is titled the way it is lol.

Everyone keeps telling me I need to play Chrono Trigger, that it's the best RPG ever. Well, I bought it on the Wii Shop Channel not too long ago, and starting playing it. Next thing you know I'm immersed in this wonderful world of cheer, strutting around the fair without a clue of what to do, and listening to a lively and wonderfully joyful tune. Sure I haven't gotten far (only thing I've done so far is beat Gato for 15 points), but I just had to arrange this song! Please, enjoy!

Very Good!  ;D A bit crazy at parts, but nothing good practise can't work out! I never really liked the song in the game, you really made this piece come alive! Well done! It's going on my "Have to learn" list  ;)

Also are you working on Frosty Forest? I love that song and I'd love you to do it, unless you don't want to.

I always love your arrangements Bespinben. They always show a ton of hard work each time. Usually can't play them though xD

[/random post]

@Clanker - I have the entire PMD and PMD2 song list on my first page. There isn't a PMD song I don't want to arrange! Anyway, I started looking at Frosty Forest, and it seems like it's in 7/4 time. I have yet to determine whether this consists of an additive meter or whether it is simply 7 quarter notes in a measure though. You mentioned a while back that you were going to arrange PMD2 "Steam Cave"? Just thought I'd bring that back up.

@spitllama - Oh thank you spitllama! I'm very happy someones sees the amount of time I put into these. Craggy Coast was especially difficult in particular because finding a way to effectively fit the many parts from the song into two-hands was, well, difficult.

Quote from: spitllama on March 01, 2012, 06:50:31 AMUsually can't play them though xD

Yeah, the marimba 16th note runs in the left hand near the start are pretty crazy, not to mention that the same hand has to jump down frequently to tap the bass notes and then immediately return back up to the marimba line.

It may or may not be a complete disaster

Are you maybe having difficulty with those odd rhythms in the music box run at the start of the song?

Nah, it's just the ending. The notes are all over the place and nothing sounds right! It makes me mad.

Oh you mean that section of the song about 80 seconds in where it's only half note chords played in succession? Oh yes, those chords might be difficult to figure out, but you can do it!

No I can't. Since I have no idea what you're talking about xD

A few of you may be familiar with the Sky Tower Summit duet I had wrote when I first joined NSM, but now I've finally gotten around to making a solo of it! I was aversive at first simply because of the many parts in the song, but with some octave switching and chord inversions, I've managed to keep the piece intact in a 2-hand format! Enjoy ~

I was fiddling around on the piano today when I happened to realize that "In the Hands of Fate" from PMD2 and the Zelda: OoT "Title Theme" used practically the same chord progression, so I fleshed out my ideas and made something of a PMD medley accompanied by the left hand of the OoT Title Theme (and right occasionally). I even came up with a spoof game this song would belong to! (see below)

Lol, my mom does just the same thing when I play N's Farewell! and when I tell her the song is a from a Pokemon video game, she gets even more surprised because the only distinct memory of Pokemon she has is my brothers and I trading Pokemon cards during the 90s. Anyway, thanks so much for learning to play my arrangement!

Oh thank you Warioman! The time signatures were a little difficult to determine, but that's what makes the song even more awesome.

That is EXACTLY what my mom does when I play that too!!!! Except I use Hugomeister's arrangement cause that's how I first learned it. I'm sure they're not that different.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 20, 2012, 06:10:41 PMExcept I use Hugomeister's arrangement cause that's how I first learned it. I'm sure they're not that different.

Hugomeister's arrangement is pretty much JUST the piano part from the full, orchestral version, while my arrangement attempts to account for all parts from the song.

Ah really? That sounds interesting, I'll have a look.

Actually, the song in the game is pretty much just piano anyway besides some background strings.

Oh wow that is definitely a more complex arrangement. I've never actually seen "ffff" used in a song before. Is it even possible to play that loudly? XD

Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 20, 2012, 06:24:15 PMOh wow that is definitely a more complex arrangement. I've never actually seen "ffff" used in a song before. Is it even possible to play that loudly? XD

Haha, I think the multiple-layer notation just makes it look a little more intimidating, but it's really not that hard. On another matter, I believe quadruple-forte is built into Finale 2011, so it's definitely not unheard of. In fact, I believe there are some passages in Holst's "The Planets" that use sextuple-fortes, but I usually stop at "ffff" because the markings begin to lose their meaning past that.

Oh, and I herd u liek 5/4 time Slow. Have you seen my PMD2 Craggy Coast arrangement lately? :3

Oh gosh, this has to have been one of the most difficult transcriptions I've attempted to date. Even with the song slowed down to 25% in Audacity, it was extremely difficult to decipher it's odd rhythms (and I'm still not even sure if I put the correct time signature). Oh, and it's entirely in whole tone scales, fun.  Anyway, please enjoy my latest Pokémon Mystery Dungeon arrangement~

Yeah, agreed. I haven't got anywhere near the spare time I used to. XD

As requested by Clanker, here is my arrangement of PMD "Frosty Forest". Surprisingly, this is the first time in quite awhile that I've arranged a piano duet, and, even more surprisingly, my first time writing a piano duet as a 4-hands arrangement. On the song itself, I find it extremely repetitive, as the whole first 2 minutes of the song is based on a fully diminished 7th chord that modulates every 2 measures. At least Iiyoshi-san keeps things interesting by slowly adding parts over the first 2 minutes to add complexity.

Changes of plans, I'm going to be arranging the Swamp Friend Area theme from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue/Red Rescue Team next. I was just loving how it sounded like a medieval ballad, so I really wanted to do that first instead (that, and Mt. Horn's thunderous timpanis were beginning to annoy me).

Yay! I love that song!!!

Yeah, the only reason I haven't done Mt. Horn yet is because of those Timpanis. Oh how I would love to throw them off a bridge.

Anyway Frosty Forest is really good! :D Working on the solo now  ;)

Alright! Well this one was a fun one, especially with how it sounds like a medieval ballad. The sheer diversity of Iiyoshi-san's compositions never ceases to amaze me. Please enjoy my latest PMD arrangement!

But Octopus's have only 8 fingers. We have 10  8) (just can't place them all across the keyboard similtaneously)
Anyway, I'm usually careful about interval span and avoiding chords that would feel awkward in the hand. In fact, if it's any comfort, I've lately been trying to learn a few of my arrangements myself of the piano (I even added finger markings on PMD File Select / Whiscash Pond after I learned it recently). I think the fact that alot of my arrangements require a person to juggle 2 layers in one or both hands is intimidating you. See, it's not about having additional limbs, it's just you need to have that kind of mental coordination. Thanks for the comments though, I really appreciate it :)

Oh. When I looked on your to-do list, it said "Dark Friend Area", which I thought referred to the "Cave" Friend Area theme. My bad  ::)  Thank you for the comment and quick forgiveness :D

Yeah, I didn't know how to name it. Some videos in youtube say "Dark Friend Areas" and my PMD soundtrack says "Friend Areas - Swamp". I preferred "DFA" because it's not only the swamp, it's also that dark forest.

But don't worry, you gave an idea, btw. I'll be doing the "Cave" friend areas theme instead.  ;)

Heh, I haven't posted a new arrangement in awhile  :o  I had to omit the entire 2-chord synth part for practicality on solo piano. Anyway, do enjoy my latest PMD arrangement  ;D

I love Mt. Blaze Peak! Such an awesome song for two of my most hated floors in the game. This is the place where I learned that my partner is the most stupidest thing ever thught of. 'Lolololol, we're versening Moltres! I'll just hit it! Derpderpderp!'

Thanks! I totally definitely agree with you there. What makes that even more poignant is that, not only does such mellow song precede a battle with Moltres, but that such a song is preceded by the thundering and bold theme of Mt. Blaze itself. The effect of the contrast is amazing.

Ohhhhh Jesus Christ I hated this level. I hated Moltres battle. The music for the original Mt Blaze got really repetitive too.

Also your "In The Hands Of Fate" arrangement is pretty flawless. It's my favorite arrangement of yours now. It's not really accurate but it's beautiful and expands on the theme in a way that's expertly done. Well done my friend. (Now do Spinda's Cafe)

Ah, thanks a bunch! When I tried to get the arrangement put on-site for the previous update, it got denied for the same reason Maestro's Virtuoso Arrangements got taken off the main site -- too significant departure from the original tune. I'm still glad I did it though, and it was no loss to me since all I had to do get the song on-site was to make a dupicate of my arrangement, minus the introduction and expansion.

Oh yeh, Spinda's Cafe  :o Thx for reminding me :)

I actually started working on it already about a few weeks ago, but was beginning to get frustrated as I was finding it difficult to incorporate the two-part melody, the marimba ostinato, and the incessant timpani Cs into the solo arrangement. The marimba ostinato and the melody have some occasional note overlap too, to boot. I'll have to try a different approach.

I've decided today I'm going to finish arranging Pokémon HGSS "National Park" once and for all. I also am thinking of doing-over some of what I've already wrote to make it simpler to play.

:D Wow thanks! It makes me happy to see you like my arrangement, since it helps me feel like I did the song justice (it really is one of the most epic songs ever from that game, possibly even out of the entirity of Pokemon-dom).

Mt. Blaze Peak.... ah memories~

I was starting to think about what I might do after I finish my PMD arranging project, and I thought that perhaps I could go and arrange some Nintendo classics, particularly those of Koji Kondo. Getting a head-start on that idea, I decided to arrange the "Castle Clear" theme from Super Mario World for the SNES, because the song is so epic (yet so under-appreciated at the same time, evidenced by the near-complete lack of any covers or remixes of the song on the internet).

Oh, haha ^.^"  You see fingerz, there currently is only a duet arrangement of that song, so Slow wanted me to make a solo reduction.
Btw, when am I gonna see you do the "There's Trouble" theme from PMD1?

Following up on the previous Super Mario World arrangement above, I was quite surprised to not find the "Powerful Infant" theme from Yoshi's Island on the main site, or anywhere for that matter, considering that the song's melody would re-occur in nearly all later incarnations of the "Starman" theme (such as with "Flying Mario" in Super Mario 64, or "Metal Mario").

Ah, very nice! I actually like your arrangement a little better than my own because it presents more information about the parts from the original song than my arrangement, leaving more room for interpretation.

With my Sibelius to Finale conversion project finally complete and summer just beginning, I now I have plenty of time to make many more new arrangements, the first of these being a wonderfully beautiful song from Pokémon BW -- Dragonspiral Tower. I love how the melody in the middle of the song reminds me of "Guardia Forest" from Chrono Trigger.

Great! :D This song always seemed to me like a mix of Buried Relic with a bit of Sky Tower mixed in there.

The first minute of this song is really repetitive, but once you get past the double barline, there are some really awesome harmonies going on. There are probably are a few rules regarding chromaticism that I ignored, so if you know them, please tell me so I can spell the accidentals correctly :P The most I was able to tell was that there was alot of modulating between C and Db major keys, and that the harmonies we're pretty much all based on fourths.

Hmm... that's definitely one I haven't read before on Youtube comments on the OST. I can't say I entirely feel the same way, but I suppose one could possibly be reminded of Sky Tower by the little 8va line in measure 5 that shares the same notes as the music box line from Sky Tower. I'm not quite sure how it shares similarities with Buried Relic, but they do both have melodies that soar over an intricate, contrapuntal background in the mid-section of their songs.

I'm not quite sure how it shares similarities with Buried Relic, but they do both have melodies that soar over an intricate, contrapuntal background in the mid-section of their songs.

It's just the rythm is kinda the same only with different notes. It's really weird and I don't know how I get it xD

I had trouble determining the tonic for this particular song, so I just decided to choose a key signature that eliminated most of the accidentals. It's hard to find a key signature when you have lots of weird non-diatonic harmonies. Any ideas are welcome ;)

I love Makuhita Dojo. It's so awesome :D Well done!

This is one of my more favorite niche songs from PMD1. Interestingly, one could think of it as an expanded version of the "Dream" theme, with altered string tremolos, some bass, and an endearing melody.

I love how waltz-like this song is. Seems like alot of the friend area themes have very specific genres (medieval ballad for the Swamp, waltz for the Steppe, etc). Also, is specifically stating the change to the key's relative minor appropriate on page 2?

Love this song, it's my favorite friend area theme.

Yes, the minor key change is necessary as the accidentals will be affected.

Yay! I love this one too. I had some fun with the L.H. on page 2 (the L.H. arpeggios weren't there originally, but fits really well imo).

Thought so, just checking.

Making a daily arrangement is kinda insane, isn't it? I think I couldn't if I tried.  :P
And what if your computer is broken for a week?  ::)

Nice arrangement, by the way.

So, I saw someone submitted an arrangement of New Wave Bossa Nova from LoZ: MM for the next submissions update (by Tangy? iirc), but I thought it was fairly meh, so I decided to make my own arrangement of it.

Love Silent Chasm. Good arrangement and it's definetely playable. Well done! :D

I really like this song, it's so driving and cool. I also like how it functions, introducing various motifs and overlaying them at different time intervals to produce various harmonic interactions. I may need to someone to check my accidentals though, there's a bit of chromaticism.

@Clanker - Thanks! It doesn't sound quite as eerie on the piano, like the original, but I'm glad to hear it's good.

The F naturals in bar 19/20 should probably be E#'s for the sake of consistency between the two hands.

Also, I'd maybe consider changing the key to F# major seeing as every E is a sharp until that short bit at 19. Possibly it's in G# dorian? I dunno...ask pumpy :P


Hmmm and while I'm at it....
Did you copy the left hand from bar 1 by any chance and use it again? The stemming looks a little weird on the first beat of each bar that has G#'s.

Rhythm groupings in bars 10 & 13.

Ah ok, I was sure the tonic was G#, but was puzzled by the constant use of E#. Thanks for pointing out G# Dorian, makes sense. I'm not really quite sure how to approach the puzzle at 19, but I figured the R.H. harmonies should be spelled as generic thirds, for the most part. Yup, ask pumpy lol :P
Oh gosh, that's embarrassing. It looks like I did copy from the first measure L.H. for the whole song. Stemming fixed.
Rhythm grouping fixed also. I like the melody in that part of the song, very memorable.

Thanks a bunch! It's really nice to have peer revision in my submission thread as opposed to mostly just in the submissions update :D

@Slow - Thanks Slow!

I like to think of this song as the demented version of "Snow Refugees", since it uses the same choral voices and glockenspiel ostinato at its beginning, except using fully diminished 7ths. Lol, my sister hates this song, since it always reminds her of how she died at 98F in Buried Relic.

There's an accidental colliding the left hand of bar 20.

Just a thought, have you considered spelling all the accidentals the same for each diminished chord? Eg bar 11 is enharmonically equivalent to the last bar but you've spelled bar 11 as C dim and the last bar as F# dim. Just a thought. Personally, I'd tend to stick with the spelling with least double flats/sharps just for reading convenience. It's not like you have to indicate that they are related to a chord of resolution or anything :P

Oh, I love this song. It's so quirky and fun, a perfect theme for the character.

@Deku - I should fix that XD Thanks for the suggestion, I'll spend some time this afternoon doing that.

I love this song. I just wish that it was longer. Great Arrangment

Well done, but it's stupidly hard in some places, most notably measure 8. Everything else looks to be playable, though the double layers in the left hand definitely look tricky as well as arbitrary. Indeed, measures 5 and 7 have no reason to have two layers in the left hand and only make it look more complicated. You also made some notes staccato when they aren't--look at measure 5; the second and fourth beat (the note beginning with G) shouldn't be staccato an this carries through the rest of the song. And in measure 6, the first note nor the sixteenth tuplets that follow it nor the E (skipping a note) should be staccato. Finally, there is no ending in the original song; the final measure should be a copy of the first with the first C having a lower G and E to back it up as well as being an accented staccato. This should be bookended by a repeat bar at the end of the song and at the beginning of measure 2.

/my opinions

You don't need to change it, just that's what I noticed looking at the original song and then your arrangement.

Now THIS is the kind of hard, scrupulous critique that my arrangements have needed for a long time. Thank you Slow.

The reason why there were hidden layers in measures 5 and 7 was to produce a double stem on the first C of the bass. However, I cleaned this up by simply eliminating the hidden layers and simply using the double stem tool, so as to signify the coincidence of the tuba C and low reed C.
I must disagree about the issues of playability of measure 8, all I'm asking is for the L.H. to arpeggiate the low F# and middle C, and hold that for 1 beat using the pedal. The R.H. is no problem either, since you would just use the 1 and 2 fingers to play the lower layer that is octave doubling the melody. However, there was a playability issue with measure 6 that I noticed myself, in that I had asked that the sixteenth tuplet be played on octaves (which is absurdly difficult), so I fixed that.
All articulation issues are now fixed. Making daily arrangements to stay ahead of Shadoninja may have slightly disrupted my quality control.
Finally, I implented a D.S. al Coda repeat system that is also functional in playback. There is a repeat from the beginning to the loop, as well as an optional ending.

I'm so happy I've finally found a way to arrange this song. It is truly one of the most beautiful songs from the game. I just hope trying to handle such a multiplicity of parts while playing won't ruin that feeling. This arrangement is dedicated to November and SlowPokemon, the former for requesting it, and the latter for the song being one of his favorites.

Oh my bad XD I must have copy-pasted my description from track 83 when making the list and forgot to change the song title. Haha, I didn't even know people even read that list, it's mostly just for my personal use to keep track of my progress towards acheiving my goal of arranging the entire OSTs of PMD1 and 2.

Quote from: Bespinben on June 25, 2012, 06:26:30 PMI didn't even know people even read that list

Most people, probably not. I was actually seeing which other pieces PMD2 had stolen from PMD. Tiny forest turned into murky woods, parts of the title theme are used in everything else, and Vs. Rayquaza is pretty much Defy the Legends.

I also didn't know about the different title theme for Time and Darkness...

I would work towards that list, but there are two reasons I don't.
1. Other people like working on these, and I don't want to stop anyone.
2. The original reason: I suck at arranging stuff... you've done really well.

Ah ok, makes sense. I'm not too much disturbed by PMD2 "stealing" from the original, since I actually kind of liked the throwbacks - it gave a sense of continuity to the series (though I'm still trying to devise theories as to how Rescue Team and Explorers relate to eachother chronologically).

Ah yes, that's a very unloved track, but awesome still. I think that is because there is sizable group of Pokemon fans whose first time trying out a Mystery Dungeon game was with Explorers of Sky.

It's really just a one-man band here. I haven't seen anyone trying to arrange any PMD songs for a long time on the forums, besides myself of course. If you want, I'd could recommend a PMD song I think even you could find easy to arrange, which would be good practice for you ("Aftermath" from PMD1 seems easy enough).

I think PMD2 happens later, because time wasn't messed up in the Red/Blue as far as I know. If Red/Blue was later, it would be very dark because of Darkrai destroying the Temporal Tower in that timeline. Before you went back in time, time was frozen. It is on the same piece of land, the shape is the same, just some locations are different.

My problem is getting the bass, and getting the tune right. I tried Mt. Horn, before I realized it was done, because I wanted to play it. My bass was all over the place, like it shouldn't be.

I try to learn music I actually know. Never played PMD1 games.

Oh, yeah! I'm also missing a program (which I'm not allowed to download), and my computer needs to be taken tomorrow or the day after for updating.


I love fate. I went to see what the Mt. Thunder song sounded like, then I listen and think to myself, Wait, what? This is from Time and Darkness, but where? I eventually figured out that it and Sky Tower, as well as Mt. Freeze Peak and Thunderwave Cave, are all from Blizzard Island Rescue Team Medley, the theme for Blizzard Island.

Quote from: Arceus79 on July 07, 2012, 08:59:49 PMWhat arrangement are you closest to finishing?

I don't quite understand what you're asking. I've worked several hours on a transcription of Mt. Freeze yesterday, if that's what you're wondering.

taking a look at it (FINALLY) so I'll give you some feedback in a sec

Alright, overall it's very good--I mean, all the epicness can't be reached on a mere piano, but it does an excellent job of imitating the grandeur and elegance of the original.

Nitpicky things--

Measures 5-6: I think that, as you indicated this section be played "heavily, arduously," you ought to change the notes in the bass clef to octaves--simply adding an octave F# and G# underneath the middle notes. This makes it sound heavier and more effective in my opinion.
Measure 9: The chord in the bass clef should be G#-E, not G#-D#. It's a slightly different chord than the G#m chord that's been used thus far, and a rather important one as it makes the song sound a bit more hopeful for a fleeting moment.
I'd like to point out that I really admire the way you handled measure 16.
Measure 18: There's not much different between 32nd notes and grace notes, really--if it were me, I would change the dotted eighth to a quarter note, and add the 32nd notes as grace notes to the first chord in measure 19. That's mostly aesthetically pleasing, though, as it really doesn't make much of a difference in how it's played.

Everything else looks great, well done

That sounds like a really good idea Slow with measure 5+. However, after experimenting with that a little bit, I found it obscured the lower voice harmonizing with the melody and made playing the mordent's more difficult. Still a great suggestion.
Ah, good ear catching that error at measure 9! Thanks ;)
In this case, I would like to leave the 32nd notes the way they are. This is because I want them played BEFORE the first beat of measure 19, which would not be otherwise clearly indicated if written as grace notes.

Nevermind.  With the release of your Mt. Freeze arrangement, my question was answered.

I love it! It may be put on my 'To Learn' list ;P But you should probably put the key signature in A major, with all those A major chords.

That's True.  First part is Mt. Freeze, then Sky Tower, then Mt. Thunder, then Thunderwave Cave. (I feel like I've said that before, too.)

As requested by FSM-Reapr for his wedding performance playlist, here is my arrangement of Mt. Travail from PMD2. Have fun adapting it for organ, hehe  ;)
Question for peer reviewers -- The song seems to alternate between 3/4 and 6/8. How should I go about indicating the different pulses? The beginning with the large L.H. arpeggios is definitely 3/4 feel, but then there's a kind of mix in the next section, and then it seems very clearly 6/8 in section after that when the L.H. arpeggios come back again.

Quote from: Nebbles on July 09, 2012, 03:30:24 PMI can't thank you enough for arranging the PMD OST. It makes me super happy to have this game's music for the piano and whatnot C:

Dawww thanks Nebbles!

Quote from: Clanker37 on July 09, 2012, 08:49:19 PMI love it! It may be put on my 'To Learn' list ;P But you should probably put the key signature in A major, with all those A major chords.
Anyways, Bespinben I would like to point out a very interesting fact. You have so far arranged all the pieces that are featured in the Blizzard Island Medley. Now, I don't want to pressure you or anything, but...
YOU BETTER DO IT, BUDDY! >:O

That was actually the master plan all along  8) Someone on Youtube asked me to arrange the PMD2 Rescue Team Medley awhile back, so I resolved to arrange all the constituent songs first, then tackle then medley.
Oh, and I'm really not entirely sure about Mt. Freeze's key signature. The bass in the L.H. always sits in a funny spot with respect to the rest of the harmonies, so although the treble might suggest A major, the bass is always droning away somewhere else.

Quote from: Bespinben on July 12, 2012, 08:32:26 PMHave fun adapting it for organ, hehe  ;)

What a way to spend a day! Hey it rhymes!  :)

Ohai, more critique from a guy from which you've probably heard enough! XD
This dropbox thing means I can critique at work which means more critiques from me.
New Wave Bossa Nova. I followed you until measure 9. If you're going to use Eb, and I think you should, it's better to show that harmonic consistency throughout the measure instead of using D#. Rest all looks great. I do wonder why you use different rhythmic notation for the bass in measure 1-end. Last I heard this piece, I remember the rhythm being the same. Could just be me.
Thanks again for your arrangements!

Ohai :3 Glad you see the good in dropbox  ::)
Honestly, I'm don't know why or how that happened with that D#/Eb inconsistency. Either it was Finale derping, or the effect of having written the arrangement very late at night. Thanks for pointing that out ^_^
I just wrote the bass as I heard in the recording. Also, while I was at it, I got rid of the grace notes in the 2nd-to-last measure and wrote them in full in the preceding measure. I thought the Gb immediately naturalized by the G of the upper harmony in the 2nd-to-last measure looked ugly, that's why.

Haha, I might just have to seriously take you up on that offer someday 8)

My pleasure! Then I'd have a reason for a tour around America!  :D

I hear the bass now. Couldn't listen at work, bad for real analysis. Oops.
Yeah, that all makes sense. They function the same either way, the passing notes.

I was feeling nostalgic today, so I decided to arrange a good ol' N64 classic - the main theme of Starfox 64! Of course, there is probably some debate as to which particular song from the game constitutes the main theme, but I like to consider "Start Demo 1" as being that, as you hear it EVERY time you start a mission, and it presents a leitmotif used in other compositions in the game.

It feels worrying, that you do so much other songs while you're doing my requests. I'm just worrying that can you do them on time.  :-\

Could you put an 8va on measures 7 and 8?

Quote from: spitllama on July 30, 2012, 07:30:46 AMCould you put an 8va on measures 7 and 8?

I could do that, but considering the highest note in that section is an F 3 ledger lines above the treble staff, I personally find the usage of ottava unnecessary.

Just remember that we also need time to practice. Now you regret that you wasted precious time arranging "Top Menu Theme" and "Start Demo 1, don't you? ;P

Well, it's your decision. I personally think it will make it look cleaner and will be easier to sight-read right off the bat. At least that's what I found when I was playing it.

Why would you say that? Let the arrangers do their thing at their own pace. He's contributing other pieces that are just as important, I don't think that's wasting time.

I'm making arrangements for FSM to play at his wedding gig, which is coming up very soon. He'll be making about 7000 dollars from it, so it is very important that I complete his requests in a timely manner.

FSM keeps a blog about it here: http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=4597.0

I'm really glad that list is there. I like knowing which of my favourite songs have been arranged for PMD2/Sky

Hey B? Which sheets do you update more often; Youtube or NSM? Interested, so I wouldn't choose the wrong sheets.

Quote from: FSM-Reapr on August 06, 2012, 12:26:58 PMHey B? Which sheets do you update more often; Youtube or NSM? Interested, so I wouldn't choose the wrong sheets.

Both, sorta. It's impossible to update Youtube videos themselves except by uploading an entirely new video, so whenever I update a sheet, it means the links in the description of the video have been updated. Same goes for links I post on NSM, thanks to dropbox.
However, I do post links to stuff on NSM that I don't put on my Youtube. For example, I have not made a video of my PMD "Run Away" 6-person rock band mood inversion thingy.

Hmm, perhaps I'll consider it then. As a Tenor I in choir and hobbyist sopranist, I'm very accustomed to reading several ledger lines above the bass clef and the treble clef.

Yes, it's a two-pianos arrangement. No, I did not arrange it two-pianos because of an inability to make a solo of it - that can be easily done, if I had time at the moment. FSM specifically requested it for 2 pianos, and that's what I did.

Rage and "y u no..." proofing aside, I really hope you guys (especially FSM) enjoy my 2-pianos arrangement of this wonderfully beautiful song from LoZ: Skyward Sword. Shame it only plays once in the game :/

Nice! I love the way you put Zelda's Lullaby and Ballad of the Goddess in there.

That's... really good.  The only thing I noticed was the tempo, it's a bit faster in-game.  Or did you intend to do that?

Did or not, it's perfect for me!

Hmm, I listened to the original again; you're right. However, it's only barely faster, maybe like 60 dotted quarters instead of 55.

You'd think a happy, go-lucky song like this would be simple to arrange - looks like I thought wrong. Anyway, enjoy my latest PMD2 arrangement~

I think this has to be my favorite song in both of the games. Its impossible to not smile while listening to this

Great! Absolutley faboulous!

2 songs left! :D

*40 hours remaining*

And I think it should be:

Quote from: Bespinben on August 09, 2012, 10:03:07 PM"Sharpedo Bluff"/ "Do Your Best, as Always!" :

because "Do Your Best, as Always!", is the Sky Jukebox name to that song and that's why it should be the alternative name to that song. Like you did with Primal Dialga.

FOr some reason, the Sky Jukebox name doesn't match the location name. If you save in your base, it calls it Sharpedo Bluff...

Sharpedo Bluff is the location, "Do Your Best, As Always" is the song that plays while you're there.

I know, I was speaking about the fact thaat most song names match the location they play in if it isn't a cutscene. Most areas, like the dungeons, have songs that match them. The Wigglytuff's Guild intro part is a remix of the start of the PMD: RRT and BRT Intro theme. However, it's still called "Wigglytuff's Guild". This song does not do that, and instead is named "Do Your Best, As Always"

+We use the official soundtrack names, regardless of the location it plays in. Wigglytuff Guild is the song's actual name--a theme composed for the guild and its many functions and inhabitants. Similarly to how "Wigglytuff's Guild Remix" isn't called "instructions" or "assignment"--it's a variation of the theme of wigglytuff's guild.

---

Incidentally, ben, would you agree that this is the counterpart to the original base theme? It uses the same melodic rhythm at the beginning.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on August 10, 2012, 11:33:49 PMIncidentally, ben, would you agree that this is the counterpart to the original base theme? It uses the same melodic rhythm at the beginning.

A very interesting discernment, but I believe this is mostly coincidental. You are right though, they do share the same melodic rhythm for the first 4 measures. Perhaps it's the effect of the two songs being about the same thing, written by the same composer. However, intentional or unintentional, this by no means shows Iiyoshi-san as being uncreative. Aside from a very obscure metrical similarity, the songs are very different, and both very catchy.

Quote from: spitllama on August 10, 2012, 09:04:13 PMSharpedo Bluff is the location, "Do Your Best, As Always" is the song that plays while you're there.

I completely forgot that.

I'm well aware of that, I'm simply questioning the logic of the Sky Jukebox, not anyone here.

You're questioning the logic of the Sky Jukebox? That means you're questioning the logic of the composers, which should not be done. Besides, it doesn't play at Sharpedo Bluff all the time--only inside the cave, and only after you've graduated. So the name would be inaccurate.

I'm so happy that I've finally finished arranging this amazingly EPIC song. What a way to conclude a game. I know some people say the song feels out of place since it plays right after a very heartwrenching finale, but if you listen closely, it does fit. It's a song of bittersweet triumph, celebrating the gift of a new future, albeit coming at a great cost - your life, your very existence.

A quick note. The Sky Jukebox in Explorers of Sky has 2 separate songs listed as "Ending Theme (Intro)" and "Ending Theme". Since in the game they play back-to-back in the finale, I wrote both of them into my arrangement of the "Ending Theme" as a single unit.

A part in the middle where Whenever I read while listening to it, I lose track.

Your arrangements are amazing. It still scares me a little that all I have to do is listen to the soundtrack of the PMD series and I start to tear up, even though i am not an emotional person. They need to make more. Right now.

I think the reason it feels more adventurous and brave rather than moving and bittersweet (a la "Defend Globe (Ending)") is because it wants you to remember that the game wasn't entirely sad--it brings back the main adventure theme because it wants you to remember all the great explorations you had--the big waterfall, the guild's expedition, the trip with Dusknoir to the future, Grovyle's sacrifice, and everything else that happened. I like the ending theme, because it reminds you of what makes your parting sad in the first place.

I hope you understand what I mean when I say that XD

I FINALLY got permission to steal arranging "There's Trouble" from fingerz. Man, I've been wanting to arrange this song for so long now AAAGH THANK YOU FINGERZ.

Anyway, the arrangement. There didn't seem to be a tonic, or if there was, it was masked by the incessant augmented fourths/diminished fifths. However, there was definitely a pattern to the accidentals, along with a whole step modulation downwards and back up every two measures. With these things I mind, I decided to treat the song modally, giving it the key signature of Db major, though not necessarily Db being the tonic (since there really isn't one). Since it modulates a whole step down every two measures then back up again, I spelled those modulated downward sections as if they were in Cb major.

Yeah, I feel ya. My sister was a bit put off by the credits music herself after beating the game not too long ago, thinking it sounded "too happy" for such a sad ending. I tried to counter that by telling her to listen to the individual harmonies, hear how tragic they sound. However, I like your argument too Slow.

Just a question, where does this play in the Game?

Quote from: SocialFox on August 21, 2012, 10:20:06 PMJust a question, where does this play in the Game?

It plays usually when Team Meanies (Gengar and company) trolls you. I think it also plays at the very beginning of the game when Butterfree comes up to you is all "save my baby!"

I know I just posted a new PMD arrangement, but if intend to achieve my goal of finishing the PMD1 OST before I leave, I'm going to have to up my arrangement output. That said, I prepared two new arrangements today. Both are very obscure songs from the game, but I still like them. "The Other Side" is the song that plays when you're dead and your spirit is drifting through the nether after Rayquaza destroys the meteor atop Sky Tower. It's very eerie, and I had VERY hard time deciphering if it had a discernable meter. "Aftermath" is the song that plays when everyone is celebrating that the world is saved, and is proceeded by "Parting".

October 24th.

Btw, do you have any thoughts on my PMD "There's Trouble" arrangement? That's the one I'm questioning most in terms of accidentals right now.

Surveying it, all accidentals look okay but the text "go to measure 8" and "go to measure 12" should be deleted, because you're essentially telling the player to move on to the next measure. It's a bit self-explanatory; someone playing a piece like this should grasp the concept of first and second endings, and if it's that much of a problem, you could always repaste the same measures to avoid confusion.

XD haha those "go to" markings are just hidden playback facilitators - they don't show up when you print the document. I have to write those because of the way Finale processes repeats systems if I don't want the 2nd playthrough after the "D.S. al Fine" to skip the first ending of the 1st and 2nd endings in the playback.

Okay good lol

I had reached the character limit in my first post, which had been taken up primarily by long url=file/url links from MUS, MIDI, and PDF attachments, so I had to downsize and use ZIP.

However, I still post new arrangements with MUS, MIDI, and PDF links, but as for the first page in my thread, all use ZIP.

I never understood the MUs. What is the MUS file for?

MUS files are for playing in Finale Reader, I believe.

Quote from: Arceus79 on August 23, 2012, 02:39:23 PMI never understood the MUs. What is the MUS file for?

You know how if you save a document in Microsoft Word, it saves it as a .doc or .docx file? Finale is just the same way. An .mus file is simply the original music score document that you make in Finale.

Finale is the music notation software that everyone around here uses to make sheet music, btw.

Oh my goodness. What an insane song... BUT IT'S SO ATONAL! The weird part about it though, is that it works. I don't know how Iiyoshi does it, but he managed yet again to perfectly represent the various emotions in this penultimate battle for the fate of the world.

Yay it sounds great!!! I mean the forest theme you're about to post, but I ninja'd you. 8)

One of the things I missed in PMD2 were the friend areas in PMD Blue/Red Rescue Team. Not only was it fun to go see all my team members, but each of the areas had fairly nice music as well. As for my arrangement below, the "Forest" theme was somewhat dependant on drones and percussion, so I had to adapt the piece somewhat to suit the piano. I'm hoping I captured the tranquil feel of the original song well enough. Enjoy!

Holy crap, serious ninja. Good timing checking the "Who's Online" - props.

Ninja'd by almost 5 minutes. :P I couldn't resist when I saw the thread's name changing. XD

But yeah, I think it looks and sounds great. You Did Your Best, As Always. :)

Ahhhh PMD reference.

Kekeke, this was really fun to arrange! Granted, all the manual page formatting was a pain in the butt, but I persevered. Thank you Shadoninja for answering my questions concerning how to make empty horizontal space in the middle of a staff, which is a very vital component of the sheet. Enjoy~

Ah good. It's just, there have been a few times when somebody on Youtube posts a comment on one of my arrangements saying "Do you have a PDF link for this?", to which I respond "descriptions are friendly friends~". I can't help but wonder if that is a trend, you know?

...but that's like totally unrelated to this, so yeah. Me just ranting to nobody XD

EDIT:

Oh gosh, I'm sorry, so sorry. That probably came off sounding very insulting. 1 AM and I've been struggling to come up with ideas for the arrangement I'm currently working on, not a good combination. I apologize.

First, I'd like to thank Jompa, Clanker, and Bubbles for their kind remarks on my previous arrangement.

Before I post my new arrangement, I'm going to elaborate a little on the how and why of its construction. Earlier this year, our good friend fingerz arranged "Heartwarming" from PMD2 (Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky), which is identical to the song "Awakening" from PMD1, save for slightly different soundfonts and voice leading. Being determined to arrange the entire OST of PMD1, I found myself in an odd spot with "Awakening", since fingerz had already made a transcription of it, essentially, and a good one at that. So, today, I found my resolution - I would simply make a slight re-arrangement of the song akin to my treatment of "Friend Area ~ Forest". Enjoy~

(The setting I had in mind while I made my "re-arrangement" below was one in which the Player and his or her Partner, later after saving the world, were reminiscing over old memories, one of them being "Hey, remember when I found you in the woods, and this first thing you said was 'Hey, a talking Pokemon!'?"? With this in mind, I opted to try to emulate a more nostalgic feeling to the arrangement, and reduce some of the more quirky aspects of the original song).

Quote from: SocialFox on September 07, 2012, 04:47:59 PMNice theme...

It's the right one. I used the official OST release as the source:

Quote from: SocialFox on September 07, 2012, 04:47:59 PMAnd Why are you leaving?

That is detailed within the following topic: http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=851.885

Actually, the Title for Emerald is a slightly different arrangement. It was released on the fourth disc of the Black 2/White 2 soundtrack, which contained unreleased music from Emerald and Platinum. The track is "Title (Emerald)" and indeed it is a slightly different arrangement. So, you should edit your arrangement to simply read "Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire" if it is not already that.

Edit: In addition, it was composed by Jun'ichi Masuda and Go Ichinose, not simply Ichinose. On another note (no pun intended) did you even attempt to make this playable?

Compare the following track from the 4th disc of the BW2 OST to the RS OST track in my previous post:
Same exact arrangement, same exact soundfonts. Only difference is the BW2 OST track is higher fidelity.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 07, 2012, 09:03:43 PMEdit: In addition, it was composed by Jun'ichi Masuda and Go Ichinose, not simply Ichinose.

You are correct. I will check my sources better next time.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 07, 2012, 09:03:43 PMOn another note (no pun intended) did you even attempt to make this playable?

Of course. I wouldn't have provided detailed playing instructions regarding pedaling, hand placement (ex: m. 20-21), or hand crossing (ex: m. 50-53) if I had not given thought to the manner of execution. Nevertheless, I do see where you're coming from. Those 16th note runs in the the "brillante" and "un poco meno mosso" sections are very intimidating.

On second thought, the differences are so subtle it's hardly worth marking it differently. A separate arrangement for Emerald would be pretty much the same. Though to be honest I doubt an arrangement this difficult will be accepted to the site ;P I still think that you might mark it differently though, because it is originally from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire and appears on that OST. It really isn't a big deal though.

And yeahhhh if I have one assurance with even songs on my iPod, the original composer is credited O_O which really annoys me with like Super Mario 3D Land where that's impossible to determine.

I loved the amazingness of the Emerald song :3. I might have to replay Pokemon Ranger because I forget how the ending song actually goes, and listening to it on youtube wont give me the same effect. Oh and btw I actually laughed out loud when I heard the PMD jingles and sound effects on your youtube channel using the PMD violin. Is that a choice as an instrument in finale?

Oh and btw I actually laughed out loud when I heard the PMD jingles and sound effects on your youtube channel using the PMD violin. Is that a choice as an instrument in finale?

I think my RSE Title Theme arrangement, though very difficult, serves as a nice contrast to my easier arrangements of late (like PMD "Awakening"). I'm glad you liked it.

I included video footage of the scene in which the song plays in my Youtube video of the Pokemon Ranger "Ending Story", if that helps.

Ahahaha! Glad you liked my little bonus on Fanfares Collection. The PMD violin sound has to be manually ripped from the game, but thankfully I found a person who already ripped the PMD soundfonts, so I just downloaded his soundfont rip. What I did was I imported the MIDI of my Fanfares Collection arrangement into FL Studio, overlayed the PMD violin soundfont to it, and then exported it as an MP3.

Since I'm arranging Pokemon Ranger stuff too now, I figure I might as well arrange the Title Theme while I'm at it, since it's pretty boss. The ending for it after the repeat is kinda weird since it decides to not resolve on the tonic, but that's just how the original goes. I do though like the way the song borrows heavily from the parallel minor to give the chords some juicy color.

And I had a gamecube growing up, but I only bought about 10 or so games. The rest I rented from this store in the neighborhood next to mine, but when it closed down I was basically shut off from videogames until the wii came out. I played about 4 days worth of Melee, warioworld, and pikmin 2, but thats it besides the ones I own.

My friend didn't want his (can't get over that (*shakes head*)) so he and a friend of his threw it against the wall repeatedly, hit it over and over with a sledgehammer, and basically did everything they could to destroy it. After 15 minutes of all that, it still worked.

Awesome job! So climatic and all that good stuff.
and HG/SS National Park, I requested that like so long ago! xD
Keep up the good work!

I'm having alot of fun doing these Melee replacements :D Corneria just happens to be one of my favorite stages to fight on, so I figured I'd make a new arrangement for that one next. I really like how part of the song borrows from the original main theme of Star Fox (the SNES one) - it's really moving.

Has anyone tried typing that into Google?

It only works on browsers like Google Chrome (and Firefox??). Fortunately, though, we have it installed... :P

There are alot of moving parts in the SSBM Hyrule Temple theme. As such, my transcription below probably could be considered fairly difficult, due to how I arranged the parts to fit into 2-hands.

(Due to spacing issues, I have hidden the pedal markings and have written "con pedale" in text. The phrasing, articulation, and layers should hopefully indicate my pedaling intentions. Also, I have purposefully used improper rhythm notation at measures 32-33 to reduce notational clutter.)

Glad you noticed ;) I just couldn't help but sneak it in there.

I wanna see someone perform that, and I wanna see it NOOWWWW EPIC!!!

In measure 8, (left hand run) I think you messed up your fingering. Finger 1 is your thumb... for both hands. Finger 5 is always your pinkie.

I don't recall two paired grace notes in measures 36-40. I think there's only one grace note per phrase.

I don't recall the first few measures. Was that added? To be honest, if it's an arrangement, I don't think anything extra should be added (melody-wise anyways).

Measures 20, 22, and 24 have that little delay in the right hand. I know you just put it in there to spice it up a bit, but maybe try putting the lowest note of the right hand octaves right on the beat, and delaying the top note. Sort of making a little sparkle sound. I must confess I do that when playing this song. (the original from Zelda II)

That's all I have to say. Well done! It looks and sounds great! (Of course, with the exception of those little things) Great enough that it put the full finale up high on my wish list.

Sorry, brain-fart XD Somehow I got my fingers reversed in my mind. Fixed.

The echoing of the treble synth makes the discernment difficult. Both interpretations seem valid.

The first few measures are derived from the introduction of the Hyrule Temple orchestration from the official "Smashing Live" soundtrack that many Nintendo Power subs received some time ago:

Listening to the original, there seems to be a delay between the synth bass and the (piano?) octaves, so it wasn't me trying to spice it up, rather me trying to better emulate the original.

Thank you very much! It's nice to get some solid critique for once :) (that is, on my thread here. I get plenty of it on the submissions update thread)
