An Optional Idea would be to have someone make an entire medley of these songs. Then through the magic of video editing, we could have everyone do their arrangments, record them, and i could make a video of it :D it's BRILLIANT!
As soon as you finish an arrangement, put it on the thread so i can get it on the main post. We may get our very own update!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
*raises hand*
you should probably maintain a list of all of the tracks and any arrangers working on said tracks.
Glad to have you on board! I'll get right on that list.
also put the composer information and copyright information so that they are consistent.
Composer: Koichi Sugiyama

and sign me up for "the palace Oboe" which i'm almost done with.
got that. i'm on my DSi right now so i'm gonna do that list at a later time. and boy, you're fast xD

well I started working on it about 6-8 months ago and haven't had much time to work on it. I had the basic form of it down and all I had to do was add some articulations and clean it up a bit.
anyways:
[NDS]Dragon Quest IX: Sentinel of the Starry Skies - The Palace Oboe MUS (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36661985/WIP/Submission/The%20Palace%20Oboe.mus)
there are still some enharmonic things I probably need to fix.
also I'd like to do pub polka. (I probably sound like an excited child by now)
Go ahead and do pub polka
I saw this thread. I'd like to finish Dragon Quest IX before jumping on board; when that happens, I'm all in.

Added "Cave Waltz" to my to-do list.

I started working on The Sun-Gathering Village. I added it to the post for you too. Pinned the topic, and am about to add it to the News Feed.
Good Luck, and thank you ;)

No, thank YOU. It's great to have more people helping out. It'll get done faster that way :0
I'll do the jingles and the battle themes which are "I Won't Lose", "Swirling Desire", and "The Time of the Decisive Battle"
Okay. I'll add intermezzo and overture ix to my list as well.
Also added evening in the village to my list. I'm gonna take the easy ones while i still can D: lol.
Finished Cross the Fields, Cross the Mountains.
[NDS]Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies - Pub Polka MUS (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36661985/WIP/Submission/Pub%20Polka.mus)
definitely one of my most wackiest and technically demanding arrangement yet.
omg. i better get practicing on that :O
i'm going to get all the files in a dropbox so i can have them all when we're done. also it makes it a little easier to get everyone's arrangements on the front topic.
btw can someone help me? I'm trying to get started on Heaven's Prayer (the Observatory Theme) and can't seem to find the key signature or the tempo out. D:

I believe the tempo is 80.
The key signature seems to be D minor based off of the first arpeggio and bass note. there's a key change at around 3:12 which seems to be D Major.

Fantastic. I'll have it done within the weekend (maybe)
I partially completed The Sun-Gathering Village (http://www.mediafire.com/?10pkurl4ixaj036)
It's open to take, I don't really want to finish it.
Eek! Mediafire! Killll itttt!!! xD
Mediafire's a lot better than some other options, aka megaupload due to the wait time of 60 seconds unless you have a payed, premium account.
In mediafire, either
1. Have adblock plus, or
2. Exit out of any pop-ups that might appear? XD
Lol i'm not as scared of it as i used to be, but i like dropbox better xD
By Jove, I'll help too! I love all the Dragon Quest soundtracks.
Quote from: triforced1 on January 08, 2012, 10:39:03 AMBy Jove, I'll help too! I love all the Dragon Quest soundtracks.
Woot! *adds to list*
I put a bunch of my to-do list back on the still needed list. Not gonna overload myself.
Added Overture IX. Took me about 20 minutes to arrange :D my best yet. We are now 12% complete with the Dragon Quest IX OST!
Scratch that. Just finished Heaven's Prayer. My new best yet xD
we are now 15% complete!
I'll do Assemble, People. I don't know when I'll get around to it, but it's at the top of my list atm.

Finished Healed By a Hymn. We are now 18% complete!
Huge pain in the butt....(last two measures) but here is Intermezzo! YAYAYAYAY!
Progress: 21% Complete!
Gettin thurr!
Remember that every sheet is going to have to be checked, critiqued and perfect before this project is done. we're more like 5% done.
Well i'm talking arranging wise. I'm not figuring in the checking and uploading stuff. I based this purely on the number of sheets completed/the total.
I'll finish off "The Sun-Gathering Village."
^thanks
The Sun-Gathering Village.mus (http://www.mediafire.com/?21y31a8446t7i07)
:0 thank you!
You left my name on there :P
Yup, a little pressie
Hehehe Okie.
Come on guys, let's get this project back on the road! :D
I'll do "Guide Them to Their Fate."
Since when did you guys start doing awesome soundtracks like Dragon Quest?
Quote from: DekuTrombonist on February 10, 2012, 11:07:59 PMCome on guys, let's get this project back on the road! :D
Thanks for helping. I'm trying as hard as i can to find time to arrange, but school is being a pain on the butt. I'm hoping to maybe do another arrangement or two this weekend. We WILL get this done!
Quote from: Brassman388 on February 11, 2012, 01:09:39 AMSince when did you guys start doing awesome soundtracks like Dragon Quest?
Since i got here xD
I'll do Alchemy Pot. Probably can get some arranging done this weekend and will try to have this simple, but neat piece done by Sunday.

Yay :) thanks pumpy.
Also i always thought the Alchemy Pot piece was creepy. It's like the Dragon Quest equivelant of Lavender Town...

Atonality? Haha.
It's definitely not atonal. Just a lot of mixture. Sounds more impressionist to me. And in C or G. They love disguising that stuff. The mixture suggests C though.
Just try to avoid any dissonant augmented or diminished intervals through notation. So in measure 8, use C# to A# instead of Bb. Good job arranging this though. Difficult piece, I'm sure.
Haha, thanks pumpy. I'm not too familiar with that area of theory yet, we get to learn about that this year :)
Woah, I just realised it uses that falling motif from Rachmaninov 2! I might go check out the sheet music for it, hopefully it might give some hints
Dragon Quest IX - Painful Feelings.mus (http://www.mediafire.com/?4cyv992wdi7cyvq)
WOah wow.
Thanks ;) (assuming that was directed at me)
I'll do "Protectors of the Starry Sky" next.

Finally someone with the balls to do that credits song O.O (no offense to anyone else, just was wondering when someone would claim it xD)
Edit: Btw Deku, can i take the ones you've done and put them in my dropbox? It'd be easier i think.

Hey guys, would someone please take this? I can't seem to find the rhythms on it :P (or learn how to spell rhythm D:)
Help would be appreciated.
Triple post time!
Hey if we could get someone to make a big medley of all the songs when we're done (in the order they appear in-game) we could make a performance video...just like an unofficial one that i could send to concerto...then we could get more done :O!

If you want. Those versions probably won't end up on the site anyway, I'll probably make some changes before then.
Ok

Added this to the front post. What does everyone think?
Any chance you can re-upload what you got for Verse of Prayer?
As soon as i get to a computer
Ah, ok ;)
The links have ALL been fixed. Apparently, Dropbox doesn't like it when I organize my stuff.

Yes, you can! Welcome to the team :)
Alright. I've finished Evening in the Village, but I'm having problems with the formatting. I have a good PDF and .XML file of the files I have, but when I import the XML file into Finale Notepad (which I just use for conversions), I can't resize the music at all to make it look pretty. By any chance, could I send you the MUS file which I've produced with Finale Notepad and the PDF, produced with Musescore?
For now, we only need mus
Quote from: K-NiGhT on February 26, 2012, 04:44:46 PMFor now, we only need mus
I don't think you understand what I mean. The mus that Finale Notepad generates from my imported XML file into it looks NOTHING like I want it to. And since I don't use Finale, I was wondering if you could move a few things in the file and then post it, according to the PDF. Presentation is a big thing for me. XP
I'll either ask deku or see what i can do when i get to a computer.
Quote from: K-NiGhT on February 26, 2012, 05:41:20 PMI'll either ask deku or see what i can do when i get to a computer.
Okay. Would you like me to post a download for the MUS and PDF anyway?
yeah sure
Here (http://www.mediafire.com/?jbucymap5z5ok16) you go. The PDF is acceptable, if you want to reformat it.
I'll take Sea Breeze.
*Bumps even though it's stickied*
I'm going to have to drop out on "I Wont Lose" and "The Time of the Decisive Battle"
Is this dropped???
No i'm just not arranging right now. I would say it's on hold.
Quote from: insaneintherain on March 31, 2012, 03:46:15 PMIs this dropped???
Probably on an extended break like all other nsm projects :(
I'll see if I can work on at least the jingles sometime soon

(the one where I complete the PMD Blue/Red Rescue Team soundtrack before you guys complete this arrangement project)
forgot about that...oh, well. we're not worried about it.
you can make it a personal goal xD
I'll arrange something just tell what to do
I think we could start this back up...
Quote from: K-NiGhT on May 26, 2012, 05:08:22 PMI think we could start this back up...
Worked on Swirling Desire today. Expect it in the next few days.
Cool!
Ok! Let's finish this once and for all so we can start the Mother 3 project! :P
I'll take Come to Our Town and Riding in the Ark.
Come to Our Town: 10% done.
Riding in the Ark: 40% done.
Expect them in 4-5 days.
EDIT: Erm... Now that I've actually heard the whole songs, maybe in 6-7 days. I thought they were a lot shorter.
EDIT 2: Riding in the Ark almost half completed.
Thank you!
Riding in the Ark done.

That's great! Can I put the MUS link up on the front post?
...bump.
I would be doing a lot more of this project, but it seems to have died, and apparently my mscz/pdf/midis aren't accepted. T_T
Quote from: K-NiGhT on June 09, 2012, 11:14:08 AMThat's great! Can I put the MUS link up on the front post?
Of course. Also, "Welcome to Our Town" is still on my WIP folder, and I will go back to it after I finish the last "Spotted!" from Pkmn DPPt.

No, it hasn't died! I'm working on a song (see above)! I really want to complete it so we start another project
*cough* Mother 3 *cough*, but I won't do all the songs myself, will I?
If you want, just do it on musescore, extract midi, post it here and then someone could open that midi in Finale and create a .mus. Simple.
Look at the Golden Sun section. Don't need a project to get a ton of sheets done.

O_O How long did that take?
Hahah a couple of years. Some flew in more than others. Submissions have always been slow, so it's been a process getting them all up there. Pretty drained now and there's still a good amount left. Maybe someday it'll get done.
I'm still down for Alchemy Pot when I get around to it.

I'm still down for Alchemy Pot when I get around to it.
You still going to finish Duck Tales?
Yep. They're being worked on as soon as I finish this paper for 20th Cent.
All of the stuff in my list will be. Then it's onto game composition on the realz.
I could take Omen of Towering Death.
Bump!
This should not be allowed to die! I don't care that all NSM projects seem to be fated to do so! I've never even played DQIX, but TZP275 to the rescue as he snatches Come to Our Town from the jaws of death!
Get it going K-NiGhT!
I'm pretty sure some people are just silently working on this. . . I think. I've put my arranging on hold for a while, but I should have Omen done pretty soon after I restart.
You said someone make an entire medley of these songs, does that mean a medley with EVERY song in it??
I've been hesitant to arrange anything from this lately since there's an official piano score. I think I'm going to have to drop out of DQIX.
There's a piano score now? Links plz.
If there is, then because of copyright things, I suppose we'll have to drop out of DQIX and move on to something else more well known that people will want to do.

Should we take down all the Pokémon RBY arrangements because there's an out-of-print official piano book for it? Of course not.
Should we tell Ganondorf to stop arranging Kingdom Hearts stuff because there are official piano books for the series? Of course not.
As long as you don't copy from the official version, making your own transcription is fine, which is best done by not looking at the official version at all for ideas.
Oh, there is Shado? Yeah, I'm out too. That kills motivation for these things. As a game composer, I'd want that book to make as much money as possible so maybe someday I can make money too.
Well then, let's drop dqix and find a different game to do. any ideas?
Mother 3!!!
Mother 3 also has a piano book.
Aren't most of the good soundtracks going to have a piano book? It's not like we can't do something just because of that.
You guys go right ahead. I don't want to speak for Shado, but I'm not going to be involved in Mother 3 because it has a piano book. Seems like the same reason Shado dropped IX.
Contra had 0 arrangements on the web that I could find, so I did that entire soundtrack almost 2 years ago now. Choose something like that.

BUMP. I drop IX too, but not because of the official book, it's just that I don't really care about it (never liked Dragon Quest really).
If we're going to start a new project, I think a poll with various options would be nice.
I know its been a while since everyone decided to drop this project, but couldn't you at least put the music you've arranged so far on the main site?
NSM doesn't work like that. Sheets must be submitted first. :P
Not for this. Once it's done I'm going to add it all in a huge batch.
But since nothing's happening and I'm sure you all want to see the fruit of your labor...
How many have been arranged so far?
(Sorry for the bump, but there are 3 arrangement projects at the same time, and I think this one should be closed once and for all)
Ask K-NiGhT. There seems to be 10 so far.
By the way, mine is already being submitted for the next update, so don't worry about it.
Again, sorry for the bump. :P
Time for a huge bump. I've been looking through all the sheets we did for this and would hate for them to go to waste (also, that's a good majority of stuff I could be adding to the site under my name!) So, I'm going to keep working on these and either slowly submit them one by one, or just dump them all in one huge submission spree when i get the time.
