Would like some feedback please and thank you. ^_^
Now, I obviously didn't write any of these only arranged so if I forgot to put the composer's name on the sheet I was being lazy...but we all know who wrote what for the most part.

Haha, you had no need to worry. No, I'm not a pro, haha....good set of ears maybe?
._.
You tis good.
I like Castle Theme from Yoshi's Island da best.
You guys are so kind. Thank you! ^_^
OMG I know you too! you may not know me but I asked for the Banjo-Kazooie Arrangement XD. Wow! and as I said about your arrangments. INCREDIBLE.
BTW the Trumpet part in route 2 only a SUPER PROFESIONAL can play. Like me! XD LOL J/k but I CAN play it. No joking there. *points at everyone with a serious look*

Ak! OMFG! Hi! Haha.
Yeah...that trumpet part...I guess I might have a thing against trumpets...maybe because I sit infront of the lead trumpet and he's all up in my ear...I bet only one of those screamer trumpets in jazz could play that. I think the French horn part is either barely cutting it or completely way off the top.
Well I happen to be a said screamer trumpet and I can...mabey do about 80 or so % of the trumpet part so it's not that bad...Unless you made it EVEN higher then ONLY a Profesinal (Who cares for spelling?!?! XP ) Trumpet player.
I just love your rock version of Corneria!
Gerudo valley and all the route one are also great
For the other, i didn't have time to listen it, but great job!!!
See? Fallen didn't even need to listen to the song, and he already knows that it's awesome. Or good. Or whatever he said. :P
*I know what he said.

Haha, well congrats. Screamers are hard to come by...I applaude you. ^_^

Haha...well, I thank everyone for taking the time to look at any of my stuff.
Thanks ;D (and I couldn't have done it with out Jazz Band XD YES!) I love being lead.
Quote from: MetroidHunter26 on April 27, 2008, 05:54:30 PMThanks ;D (and I couldn't have done it with out Jazz Band XD YES!) I love being lead.
Well, keep on going with it...this is my last year in jazz band because violin players can't get in at the college level...and I'm more happy in classical...not that I don't love jazz.
@_@ We're getting way off topic, haha.
Make more awsome Arrangements ;) I would love to actually play one with my band!
OK, I will here in the next few days. ^_^
I have some in mind that I want to do...full score of course...I need to get some other's off my old computer too.
You think you can arrange the Super Mario Galaxy Staff Credits ;D (ALOT to ask but hey why not give it a shot) but you think you can do it?
Well, certainly I would if I had ever played the game! ^_^
(That isn't treasonous is it?)
I haven't had a chance to play the game yet...I could look up an MP3 and work off it I guess.
whoa. just stumbled across this topic.
I have nothing analytical or smart-sounding to say, just that I wish I had had these arrangements throughout middle/high school during all the time I was in band/orchestra/jazzband/symphony orchestra/etc.
I always wanted to suggest playing video game arrangements in the ensembles, but I had neither the sheets, nor the balls.
Sigh.
Again, amazing work.

Thank you very much...Of course it would be fun to play to play some arrangements in school...I just never felt it was right to suggest it.
I suggested to my teachers and they said and I quote "All right sure." Well that's because my Middle school teacher likes Video games (and is finaly going to be my new High school band teacher which makes me REALY excited for next year) and my other teacher just says all right cause she's open to ideas. But I just keep forgeting to print the parts for my Brawl arrangement. >______> when you REALLY think about it there really isn't time for them to actually let us play the songs because of preparation for concerts. and on a sadder note our concert band has the attention span of a 4 year-old and is as loud as a fricken banshee >_______<, (why me?)
This is awesome! :o Well the only one I listened to was Green Greens which is my favorite tune. It's overkill lol, but awesome still. Man I wish Brian was here so we'd have 2 best orchestrators working together. Maybe Sirus too, but he's more of a string orchestrator than a general orchestrator, but it's still 3 heads better than one at least!
If you guys do come together, than I'm really looking forward to the "big project" whatever that may be (hoping some kind of suite).
Haha...well...I guess we can see how something of the sort could come about.
Hey that's a cool Idea Vgmfreak! I'm only good with brass sections (or at least SECTIONS of music. Not realy great in the huge project arranging) but If you guys (and gal ;) ) ever do want to arrange a awsome song SIGN ME IN! ;D
Awesome! Maybe we can have people be in charge of certain instruments that they specialize in. Like Sirus can oversee the strings, you can oversee the brass section to make sure it's all correct, and Brian and random_goldfish will be like the top overseer (sp?) in charge of the whole project. Maybe split up the suite into sections and by that each section will be assigned to the person in charge of it.
It goes something like this from top hierarchy to bottom hierarchy. 1. Master Orchestrator (in charge of overseeing the entire project), 2. Co-master orchestrator (2nd in command; in charge of overseeing that section of the project), 3. Instrumental specialists (in charge of making sure instruments are notated correctly based on their speciality), 4. lower class peasants I mean arrangers (those who have no experience in orchestrating, but just want to help out arranging). Not part of the hierarchy are the master orchestrator's advisors (in charge of double-checking the notation for errors; you must have very good ears and be able to pay attention to detail! Another plus is if you understand some orchestrating as well).
Now what suite shall we do? I'm gonna beg brian to help out so be patient guys!
That would be cool :D :D
we'll have to contact brian though -_-
BTW
i love the order of hierarchy
To do this, the orchestrators will need to meet regularly to compare their parts, to see if the parts work together... That could be difficult.
P.S. I'm a lower class peasant I mean arranger.
:D
Well...I will be good at overseeing the project for any detail...note wise and technique...I'm a string (violin and viola) and a wind player (flute and sax) so I know the mechanics of most intruments (Brass being my dumb dumb area...but still can handle it)...I know the practical playing range of every instrument and finger pattens (if we're going for reality on this). This should be very playable so it won't be just for out listening pleasure.
So when do we all begin ;D I think we should do some compolation of video games of mabey METROID :P and of course Legend of Zelda and Mario. mabey add Star Fox and Kirby aw heck all of Nintendo's mascots :P XD! This will be cool! and may I suggest making it a concert band arrangment (I'm happy to say it's for my band XD LOL J/K i'm not that bad) but lets do something!
I'd really prefer full score though...and (I know...gasp) I'm not really familiar with Metroid music. Zelda is a must and I was actually about to do a large project with Zelda.
pssst...check your messages
hmmm...
Legend of Zelda is a must
Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl- meh... Brawl we should wait on
Mario- heck so many songs in this series are fun to play!
Star fox is a good one too
theres always the possiblilty of one major orchestration
like Star Wolf, Hyrule Temple, Ike's Theme (which i cant do as of right now XD), lenghty songs of such
But seriously Metroid ;) LOL just kidding I think Zelda(Hyrule field or something better) and Star Fox(Main THEME A MUST!) are great choices to start
I was going to arrange the Hyrule field from Ocarina of time (Dawn theme included) since that song is already so long...so it would be a full piece and not just a theme that repeats itself mindlessly.

I would so use it JUST to annoy all the people who don't pay attention in band :P but coolio! I had prior arrangmets of Metroid but...I deleted them T______T
Do you have the annoying people in band who talk while their section is resting in the song? Ah, so annoying. (Trying not to get off topic...but I had to ask it?
Yes and sadly I am one of those people >___> but were not as bad as the saxes and clarinets and especialy these two guys (1 plays tenor and the other Ocasionally plays oboe,barri, or Clarinet) but they bug the crap out of my teacher. >_____> luckily 1 will be gone next year.
Yeah...in my class it's the trumpet section...all 15 of them.
Okay...back on track...we need to round up our team...I think we have some people lined up, right?
Just PM'ed brian at vgsheets. He said he's very busy, but he'll be able to help out when he's on break, which is in May some time. Can you guys like wait until May? I'm sorry, you guys are probably anxious :D
I got time. ^_^
yeah i dont care
i too wanted to wait until end of may or so
i still didnt start on SSBM medley XD (well its full orchestra so...-_-)

fif...teen....trum. pets. :| O..M..G. We only have 5! well not five me and my 2 friends are the better ones..(The other 2 don't even try >___>) and theres only about....okay we have 11 or so trumpets ALL together but not in the same class room (Sadly it will be like that next year with over 7 NEW Trumpet players from the middle school) so lets see 5-1(YES!)-1(Senior DANG it he was good!)+6(Juniors This year)+7= HOLY CRAP! 17 trumpets in ONLY ONE BAND CLASS!
T__T next year will be a pain.
(Sorry for rambling but BACK ON TOPIC)
When will we work on this arrangment I think we should do a Nintendo medly + Sonic and Metal Gear songs just to add some spice -___-, just sayin'
psst. goldfish, you still there?
Yep, yep.
Started a new awesome project.
WOW that's amazing! I love how it sounds! >__> I wish I can do that...Do you take Music Theory?
I lov....hey Theres no TRUMPET! :o
Thank you. I didn't take music theory...sorry about the trumpets...I just plain ol' forgot them, haha...they'd have something similar to the clairnet part.
You should do Porky's Theme for the next movement ;D That be sweet!
I'm doing a whole bunch of them so it might show up...^_^
Nice! ;D I love that song! along with the New Pork city one.
*A Little off topic*
BTW How do you get so good at arranging?
Meh, I have no clue...I guess I just read some books on composing and leaned my chords...I learned how to read music after I learned how to learn music by ear. In Irish fiddling, which was my first music deal, there is no sheet music...just your ears.

Wow you're like me! these orchestrations... they're really good! I like YI- Castle theme, and Gobi's Valley best! ;D
Haha...thank you...I like Gobi's Valley too...that is a HARD viola part...takes some practice.
