I know the triplets do not have the exact rhythm, but anything better ended up 256th rests (no joke), so I kept it this way for simplicity. And the pedal markings are a little out of alignment, but it's the best I could do

Here's what I did:
Measure 1: Made the notes: 8th, 16th, 16th, Quarter, 8th, 16th, 16th, Quarter
Measure 2: Made the notes: 8th, 16th, 16th, Quarter, 3 8th tuplet and a half.
Measure 2: Put a slur on the sixteenth notes in the left hand
Measure 11-18: Put the correct beaming of notes
Added a bunch of articulation to spice it up (staccatos, slurs, etc.)
Put a tempo marking on with the correct tempo
Added dynamics
Made a Midi and PDF

Over all you did a great job for one of your first arrangements :)

By the way, I REALLY like this song. You should put it in submissions and submit it to the site :)

Thanks, I probably will submit it.  :) So I was close with measures 7-8. And I still haven't figured out how to make a PDF yet. PDFcreator keeps giving me blank pages..... :( And notepad doesn't let you change the beaming of the notes. The extra staccatos and tenutos help give it a crisp sound. I guess I left out the stuff in the right hand in measures 9-10 because I wasn't going to continue doing them, but it sounded empty without them.

Post by: JDMEK5 on May 03, 2014, 08:20:44 PM
There's harmony in there. You'll need more than just octaves. I'd find some for you but I don't have time now. Maybe later. But have a look at that.

I also doubt the octava marking should be there. Sounds too high now.

There are a lot of tempo fluctuations. A tempo marking indicating some kind of poco ad lib I think would be appropriate.

I would use accents and other such articulation instead of so many dynamics. But I agree with the rit. Kee that.

You lack the full game name as "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". Seems superfluous perhaps but professional perfection has a price. Not a high one in this case either.

I think the timing of the whole thing is off by a beat. I think the first half note you have should be beat one and the triplets should be a pickup.

Your two eighth rests in the bass should be one quarter rest. This may change depending on what you do regarding my last point. (^)

You have the right notes and right key signature. And right time signature I'm pretty sure. So good job there. That is all for now.
Title: Re: Maelstrom's arrangements: NEW--VS. Boss & Enter Ganondorf!
Post by: Jompa on May 04, 2014, 02:32:45 AM
You have gotten the dimension of rhythm and time a bit wrong. For starters it's in 3/4, and taking it from there it should be in total 7 measures long with a quarter note pickup at the start. Even though JDMEK5 blamed this on tempo fluctuations, this isn't really the case. So I disagree with the rit., it's not there at all. And of course the fermata shouldn't be there either. It's very straightforward without any change in tempo. So you'll have to re-do the rhythmic part of the arrangement.

There are parts of the song that you haven't included in the arrangement. Like JDMEK5 said, there's more harmony down in the parallel melodies. And some crescendoing tremolo in the bass at the last chord would be really great - that would include the timpani-effect from the original.

Your use of dynamics and expressions is good, but I don't like what you do at the end. I wouldn't decrescendo after that forte, because the last chord is just as strong. Wouldn't hurt with a a couple of articulations on the accented notes.

Post by: FierceDeity on May 07, 2014, 09:53:40 AM
Yayyyy chrono trigger!

Sounds good, man. Just gonna list a few things, though:
-You're right, wrong key, haha. I'd go F minor for this one (and then Eb minor at 11)
-First four bars sound great, fuckin love those cluster chords. Only thing is, you'll want to tie an eighth note to a half note, rather than a half note to an eighth note, because you need to make beat 3 apparent. Rule of thumb = always tie over the middle of the bar.
-Nitpicky thing, but each of those chords in the right hand releases on the "and" of beat 1 of the next measure. So, it'd be tied over to an eighth note, then there'd be one eighth rest before the next two chords are played.
-Bar 8, go ahead and make that B natural a Cb, for proper chromaticism.
-Chord in the right hand on bar 9 should be held out another bar
-I would go ahead and include the timpani thing in bar 10, in the left hand; you could do that by using pedal for those two bars, and just starting the figure on the low B on beat 2. Not necessary, but I think it'd make those 2 bars more interesting/accurate to the original.
-All of those chords in the right hand bars 5-10 should have another note underneath; it's basically just a major second below the current bottom note of each chord. So, it's continuing the cluster chord idea from before.
-You can do something for the percussion in the intro/bar 10, if you want; if you do, I'd suggest a sort of tremolo using F in the left hand. But incorporating percussion is always optional, so that's really up to you.

Now, for the Eb minor section (11-end):
-Gb in measure 11 should be an Ab
-Db in measure 12 should be a Bb
-You should probably use pedal for this section; so, beat 1 of measure 11, beat 1 of measure 12, beat 1 and 3 of measure 13, beat 1 of measure 14, etc.
-Measure 13, I know that the RH and LH parts overlap, but you'll still want to indicate the melody in the right hand and parenthesize the notes, to be clear. Also, beat 4 in the left hand should be C, and the sixteenth note leading into measure 14 should be Eb (making the note you land on in measure 14 be F).
-It'd be nice to include those MIDI voice parts from measure 15-18; otherwise, it's kinda just a dull repetition.
     (Speaking of repetition, a few of the suggestions I made for measures 11-14 apply here, too; the pedal, the Gb->Ab in measure 15, the Db->Bb in measure 16, the Eb->C in measure 17)
-Measures 19-20 should be 4-part harmony; 19 should be Cb in the left hand (in the staff), and there should be a Gb on the bottom of that right hand chord. 20 should be Bb in the left hand (also in the staff), with an F added on the bottom of that right hand chord.
-Definitely include the timpani part in the LH for measure 21 through the end; that sort of "impetuoso" feeling is what makes it move. Unless you include it, that crescendo in measure 22 is kind of meaningless, as it only holds implications for a single note. Also, measure 23 to the end just becomes super boring and static without it.
-Now, that may interfere with the "Ab, Bb, Eb" thing you have going on in measures 21 - 22 as of right now. That's ok; I like the idea of having it in a different octave to emphasize it, but it really doesn't need to be. Just rearticulate the Ab and Bb that you already have in the right hand, and you should be good.
-Beat 4 of measures 23, 24, and 25 should all be cluster chords in the right hand; Ab, Bb, Eb.

Well, I've procrastinated on this paper for long enough, but I'm pretty sure I got mostly everything. Lemme know if you have any questions.

Yeah, could you add a key signature change were it changes? Notepad.
And, I tried playing both  hands in the proper octave and just tied my fingers into a knot. Should I put a optional 8va there? And how do I add the parentheses? (Figured out how to get most dynamics and articulations in notepad)

Not that it matters, but be careful about using the word "cluster chord" here Fierce. Both by definition as well as by what people normally associate with the term, none of those chords are cluster chords.
Quote from: maelstrom. on May 07, 2014, 10:01:36 AMAnd how do I add the parentheses? (Figured out how to get most dynamics and articulations in notepad)
You parenthesize notes with the articulation tool - the "open" and "close" parenthesize are two different articulations so you can have a longer phrase parenthesized than just one note. You can't normally get them in NotePad, but ofc you've figured out the trick to get them, so they're number 38 and 39 on the articulation tool menu. Note that they don't really work on chords - sometimes they start jumping from one of the notes to another, like some of the other articulation tend to do as well.

It's in F-minor, even if there are some dorian traits. I would also include some modulation too - not really for the ones in measures#33 through #44, but at least the one where it goes into A-phrygian for 8 measures (and repeated).

New arrangement! It's another Bravely Default one to celebrate my acquisition of Finale! (finally!) I was working on Serpent Eating the Ground, but it was so brutal, I took a break and did this one. It was pretty easy, compared to the final boss song....
I think I left out a few harmonies, but it's good for the most part.

Title: Re: Maelstrom's arrangements: NEW--Instant of Eternity & Angry Bowser
Post by: FierceDeity on July 09, 2014, 03:47:08 PM
This is certainly a nice way to make this arrangement work. Kudos.

A few things:
-In the intro, it's really hard to rhythmically place that "G B C# D" figure in a way that makes sense to read, so I understand why you wrote it as sixteenth notes where you did. However, the original sounds a lot more like the figure's landing on beat 3, than the last sixteenth note of beat 3, and the sixteenth note thing you have written sounds a bit too clean/slow. I would go with a sixteenth note triplet on the offbeat of 2.

-Then, the figure that you have starting in measure 2 actually starts a sixteenth note earlier. So, each of those notes except for the half note (the note before it is actually a dotted eighth, or a sixteenth tied to an eighth as I'd write it) is a sixteenth note earlier. The half note should also be notated as an eighth note tied to a dotted quarter note, so as to make beat 3 more evident.

-Those sixteenth note figures that you have in measures 4 and 6 could definitely be tremolos and trills, respectively. Again, sixteenth notes starting on the beat sound way too clean/slow, to me. Measure six would be a trill between the notes you currently have; measure 4 would be a tremolo either between the E and an octave below it, or a fourth below it. The measure 4 figure, I would say, starts more on the last sixteenth note before beat 2. Idk, I just think that "evenly placed sixteenth notes" is way too clean-cut for the style of the original. Tremolos aren't always the way to go with this stuff, especially considering there's only one note played repeatedly in the original, but the trill would actually be a lot more accurate. Play around with it, see what you like, but never think you're limited to "Well, piano can't play it exactly like plucked strings (I wanna say this is sitar), so better just leave it simple." There are a lot of methods piano can employ to simulate other things, and I've found that tremolos, for one, can bipass a lot of instrument-specific difficulties, such as crescendos, or really fast picking.

-Don't feel that you have to be constrained to whole notes every measure, for the left hand. There are some bassline figures that you can always take advantage of, if you want to. Mostly, every figure played by that voice that I can only describe as "super low electric guitar sound" (Paper Mario timbres are confusing as fuck). This would be particularly effective in the section at measure 19. But yeah, seeing as the harmonies in the LH for this piece aren't nearly as important as just the bass note, feel free to play around and see what works to include.

-For all of my complaining about rhythmic accuracy in the beginning, for 27 to the end, I think you did pretty well (at least, it has the right sound to it; I haven't checked specific rhythms, but that's not quite as important as capturing the sound). The problem in the RH, though, is legibility of notation. With as many sixteenth notes as this, you'll probably want to make the beginning of every beat apparent. So, for example, measure 27, you'd want to make that dotted eighth note into an eighth note tied to a sixteenth note (also, move that eighth rest to the right a bit, I almost didn't even see it XD).

-While everything other than the bass in the LH certainly does drop out at 27, it sounds pretty empty for a piano arrangement. You might want to include the octave above it, just to provide a full sound while emphasizing the bass note.

-The 8va seems unnecessary for measure 27-30. It's totally acceptable to start an 8va or 8vb halfway through a period.

-Speaking of 8va/8vb, I'm not really sure why they're rewritten so many times XD my guess is that you were trying to put it onto the sheet music, and Finale's lame dragging mechanics weren't working so well with it. What you do, in that case, is switch to Scroll View (view > scroll view), so that you can just drag in in a line, from start to finish. That way, you don't have a bunch of randomly placed 8vb's and 8va's, where the dotted line alone would be enough to signify that it continues.

Lastly, there's always the option of incorporating the percussion rhythms; but, since I haven't tried it myself for this piece, idk how feasible it is in this situation.

Critique aside, gj.

At first glace:
Add some bass to the chords in the beginning to imitate the synth sound.
I'd make the runs in parallel thirds and reduce the chords in the L.H. (though this then brings playability into question.)

EDIT: Oh shit, you need to add that bass guitar in. Didn't notice that before (repeating eight notes in the L.H. when the runs come in.)

K. Hopefully some of the other, better arrangers give you some feedback too, but I'll try to help you out a bit too.

Title should say "Horizon" instead of "Ground." I'd rephrase it too, but eh.

Overall, a lot of parts should be higher. Don't agree with a bunch of those four note chords either (not even sure they should even be four notes, for instance). Couldn't be bothered to change any of them myself though. Make sure your legato/phrase markings go completely over tied notes.

The section at measures 30-33 shouldn't just repeat, because there's a rest before the third time. Could also change to the higher notes each repeat.

Measure 37 should have triplets at the end. Pretty sure Measure 45 and a few other measures are wrong, don't feel like finding out the notes myself though. Around 46 onwards I would check if those are actually triplets or if they should be two dotted 16ths + a 32nd (or rather, a dotted 16th, a 32nd tied to a 16th, and then a 32nd).

I did make a few changes though, just make sure to check them over (changed some pitches but didn't check spelling, for instance). Couldn't include the key changes mentioned by Jompa since I have NotePad, sorry.
Measures 28-29 - corrected some pitches
Measures 34-37 - corrected the pitch on the highest notes, changed quarter notes to eighth notes on the left hand to match guitar
Measures 46-47 - added some E notes before the G notes.
Measure 49 - Changed the first C in the right hand to a B natural. Changed the length values of the D and C after it.

Didn't really check after that until the medley of character themes (you can assign text to measure, by the way, so it won't get moved around when you edit them):
Measure 76 (Tiz's Theme): Corrected the melody
Measure 80 (Agnes's Theme): Changed the left hand, corrected melody at 81.

Didn't check after that. Anyways, great start, can't wait to see the finished product since it's a pretty epic song, and good luck finishing your arrangement!

Known issues to be fixed upon my return
Measure 20-21 -- something is wrong here...
51-52 -- Timing is off. Will experiment to figure out tempo stuff
75 -- See above
Final 2 measures -- Same
And I hope I don't lose the changes I just made because finale is denying my saving because I procrastinated activating it with the previous owner.
And what is the official name of the song? I've seen it as: Snack of the Snake, Serpent Eating the Horizon, Serpent Devouring the Horizon, and Serpent Eating the Ground, which seems to have been used the most.

Quote from: maelstrom. on July 22, 2014, 07:40:17 PMAnd Final Fantasy Wiki calls it The Horizon-Devouring Serpent

This is what I would personally call it. The title's 地平を喰らう蛇, where 地平 = Horizon, を = a connecting particle, 喰らう = Eat, and 蛇 = Serpent/Snake. Literally Horizon-Eating Serpent, but I prefer "devour" because it sounds more powerful in English. "Ground" is a misreading of horizon, but that's because horizon's spelled in a kind of uncommon way (it's common to be read that way in Chinese, while in Japanese it has another character to be more specific). But considering the story, the other soundtrack titles, and the composer (whose groups are called Sound Horizon and Linked Horizon), then it's pretty obviously meant to say "horizon." I prefer serpent > snake because it has a more mythical connotation, like what Ouroboros's name comes from.

So yeah, I'd go with "Horizon-Devouring Serpent" or "Horizon-Eating Serpent."

May as well jump in again:

-The intro (along with the reprise) should be notated with two treble voices - the lower a dotted half and the upper a quarter followed by two tied quarters. The bass can then be written as a dotted half.

Measures 22-26: Change the quarter notes in the bass to two tied eighths.
Measure 49: The C in the treble clef should be a sixteenth tied to a dotted eight.
Measure 51: Ignoring because you might change this in the future.
Measure 61-63: half notes should be tied quarters.
Measure 67-68: All eighth notes, besides the last one in each measure, should be tied sixteenths.
Measure 71-74: I'm really not sure because the phrasing is so weird.

Yay for rhythm groupings.

117-118 (final 2) -- I changed a bit here, but I might just take the whole thing out: it just doesn't work right.

The note beaming is a lot worse now. You didn't fix what was wrong, and what you've done changes to now is not what I meant by correcting note beaming. You'll need to learn the basics about this: http://www.brl.org/codes/session10/groupings.html
After the last time I checked it out, more accidental errors have turned up - even in places where you shouldn't have done any changes since then. Like in the beginning.
You also still have lots of rhythmical errors, but that's not new since last time.
I'll help you tomorrow, cause it's midnight here right now, but now you know what I can see from first glance.

I see the problem. I'll have the beaming fixed by the time you start on this.

edit: I don't know what I was thinking.... Anyway, the links are updated with 98.5% correct note beaming
I'll see what I can do with the accidentals...

I forgot to mention that you have the wrong time signature where you now have 3/4. It is true that it is in the original, but you've chosen to notate twice as fast as necessary, so the time signature has to be either 6/8 (practically the same as you have now) or 3/8 (arguably the correct way). The note beaming here will take care of itself.

Ah yeah Josh, he's my favorite character with Lyon and Cormag. You OHKO'd Morva? Wow, that's impressive. I always used Cormag for the bosses of the final episodes starting with Orson. I picked Ephraim's route, and now I'm lazy to replay it just to go through Eirika's btw :J

I started Radiant Dawn instead, which is a lot harder than all FEs I've played! (Awakening and Sacred Stones so far). Can't get past Ep 3, and Ep 2 cost me like 15 retries, so... It's that the characters are just so weak, they die with one hit! -_-

Post by: Maelstrom on August 04, 2014, 12:36:25 PM
I just didn't use Cormag enough on my second time through to use him for the final boss. :( I OHKO'd Morva b/c Bishops do triple damage to monsters, I maxed out Arthur's strength, and I got a critical hit. So, 9x normal damage.
Title: Re: Maelstrom's arrangements: NEW -- Final Battle (Sacred Stones)
Post by: DonValentino on August 05, 2014, 03:32:49 AM
I see. I also had Arthur as a Bishop at lvl 20 and Natasha, but used them to defeat regular monsters with Divine while Cormag took care of the bosses.

Post by: Sebastian on August 10, 2014, 02:55:21 PM
Wow!
Nice Work!
I noticed a couple things....I wouldn't say some of these are incorrect, but more preferences.
Measure 1-3: There is another voice, C-C-C-B-B-B-Bflat-Bflat-Bflat-A.
I'd put those up with the right hand like in the original :)
Also in measures 1-3 I'd put a G flat instead of a F sharp. It'd take away the natural.

Measure 3-4: Right hand is up an octave

Measure 5-7: In the left hand you have 2 Dotted Quarters. In the original it is 8th, 8th, 8th, Dotted Quarter. It's also like this in measures 10, 11, 13, 14 , 15, 18, and 19.

Measure 10-11 & 18-19: The little Guitar Echo has another note with it... you have
D Sharp-D Sharp-A-A. In addition with that it's C-C-F-F. And in 18-19, you have G Sharp-G Sharp- F-F, in addition with that its C-C-G Sharp-G Sharp.

Measure 29-31 & 33-35: The Bass is 8th-8th-8th-Dotted-Quarter. Not Dotted Half.

Measure 37-40: I'd put a crescendo through there and maybe a Forte...

Measure 39: You have in the right hand A and G. It's A, D, and G.

Measure 40: On the first beat I'd have E, A, and C. It's more accurate.
Aaaand a repeat sign :)

I think you should mess around with more articulation. Staccatos, Slurs, expressions, etc.
It really spices up the piece :)

Overall! Great Job! I actually like the music to this game :)

Wow! Sweet Job, man!
I always love listening to a good 5/4 piece :)
You've improved immensely very quickly!
Only thing I noticed is in measure 24: Incorrect beaming of notes.
Here's some tips. When you have a piece with a violin playing, you usually want to try to get some slurs in there. Dont just go throwing them in random places, experiment with them. Listen to other people's songs and see what they did and even listen to a bunch of classical music. Classical music helps with slurs and articulation.
Aaaand articulation. Experiment with that also. It really helps a piece thrive not be so dull and dead.

Great Job! And keep up th good work!

Excellent Work!!
Here is some feedback:
Measure 12, 20, 41, & 45:The slur should go the length of the tie.  It's not required but it's nice :)

Measure 21 & 25: The staccatos aren't needed on the sixteenth notes. In general, unless it's a super slow song, I stay away from putting staccatos on sixteenth notes.

Measure 30 & 32: There are actually 2 of those high notes in these measures. I'd include both of them but in another layer.

Measure 40: The staccato on the half note isn't needed. It was probably an accident though :)

Measure 50 & 52: These measures are the same as 30 & 32.

So you dont have to waste your time fixing this stuff here it is with these changes:

Both of these are incorrect. Staccato marks may be placed on any note regardless of speed or note duration. It is a stylistic mark. Imo the staccato markings are well placed. ^^

Staccato can be a stylistic mark (kinda lies in the word that it has to do with what style we're in), but that's a big can. I agree about the use of it in this song (not saying this to make debate, it's just that you always say this Olimar), but I just wanna point out that staccato also can purely mean to play the notes shorter, and it's no secret that this more often is the case than "staccato" meaning "unstressed" (which I take it is what you mean).
It is often interpreted as "stylistic mark" (as you call it) in some areas of classical music, but staccato is an example of the many many other technical stuff in music that can have very different meanings in different kinds of music.

Well in some styles it can mean short (such as jazz). But in this instance, and many others around here, it shouldn't mean just "Short". It's good to differentiate between a short note (the length of the note value) and a note played in a lifted, or detached style. I just think it's more beneficial for the arrangers around here to know that.

Nah they're fine. Only thing to comment (if I actually were to look at it thoroughly!) would be the lefthandthing at the second half, where some accidentals kinda go against what's in the right hand, but considering how it pretty much goes chromatical and stuff I think it's fine.

Nice arrangement (Morphongentic Sorrow).A couple of things I noticed.
1) Would be awesome if you could incorporate the melody line from measure 1-8 in some way, don't know if it's possible however.
2) measures 1-8 is a bit tricky to preform because if you want a good staccato sound in the RH and use the pedal you'll have to use half-pedal or just small pedaling on each note. Because if you try playing it with the full-pedal it will not give a staccato like feeling I feel. What I was thinking is if you could notate that somehow, maybe with spiccato i the RH instead of staccato, ignoring the pedal in the first 8 measures might also be an idea to consider.
3) At measure 16, I think it would look better if the LH notes(in the RH staff) are beamed downwards, and maybe the RH D is is stemed upwards.
4) measure 29-30: some en-harmonic spelling, I'm quite sure it's just some small modulation to Db-major, use all flats instead of sharps.

I did consider that, but left it out for the sake of playability.

I guess I put it there meaning "use as needed," but idk if it makes sense to have a "Con Pedal" 8 measures in, as you usually see something like this only at the beginning of a piece.

2) hmm y; If you want to leave out the pedal for the first 8 measures, it isn't any strange by writing "senza pedal" in the beginning, and at measure 9 write "con pedal". So the first 8 measures are played without pedal, but the rest of the song is played with pedal. Or maybe keep just "con ped" throughout the piece and the performer will have to adjust the pedal as much as he/she pleases.

Post by: SlowPokemon on May 28, 2015, 10:54:58 AM
Here's an edited version of your sheet for Sebastian Debeste. The changes I made were as follows:

-I double-checked the title and the second half reads "ichiryuu no suiri." While usually "no" signifies "of" or some sort of possession in Japanese, in this case the word "ichiryuu" (literally "top-notch" or "first-class") is describing the word "suiri" ("reasoning"). So the actual title would be "Yumihiko Ichiyanagi ~ First-Class Reasoning" which is basically what you had the first time. I edited the title and changed it on the second page as well (which you had forgotten to change from your Sebastian Debeste title).
-Corrected the composer information to Noriyuki Iwadare (I would imagine this was just an oversight of a spelling error or something)
-I changed the tempo marking from 170 bpm to 172 bpm as I feel it's more likely that this is the actual tempo. 170 is not a default tempo marked on metronomes, but 172 is, and 2 bpm is hardly any difference in speed.
-Added slurs and phrase markings to the melody throughout. In an upbeat waltz like this, the phrase markings are very important; though legato playing is always implied, it's very important to recognize where the notes tie into one another and how a drawn-out note plays into a staccato one. I don't mean to rant about this, but just to be clear, every slur indicates a "drop-lift" motion, meaning that the first note of the slur should be slightly heavier (dropping your hand more forcefully) and the last should be lighter (lifting your hand up). Therefore, at the end of a slur, it typically signifies a lift. This is especially helpful in the LH, where it accentuates the heavier first beat leading into very light second and third beats, which is very typical for waltz music. For a more specific example, at the phrase in mm. 49-50, where your slur ends at the end of m. 49 and another one starts at m. 50, that means you want the pianist to lift between the measures, when in fact all of the notes are played legato. So my correction there was simply to create one larger slur over both measures.

Specific instances of changes:
-m. 10 & m. 18: Changed the G-flat in the LH to an F-sharp since you have an F-sharp fully-diminished seventh chord. It's good to keep in mind that if you have the same note in both hands, you'll almost always spell them the same way, meaning that you shouldn't have F-sharp in the RH and G-flat in the left hand. Your RH was correct: since it's the G that's moving down, it's better to spell it as F-sharp so you have a G moving to an F rather than a G moving to a G.
-m. 11: The E here is only held for three beats, meaning that the first two beats of m. 12 are rests.
-m. 27: Corrected the chord on the first beat as your notes were incorrect (though you had the chord right). The only notes present from the G chord is the G in the LH; the RH has E and A, which are both nonharmonic tones. Technically speaking, if you wanted to keep a consistency, the LH should have the A, but as that requires hand motion that may be uncomfortable for some, it's easier to put it in the RH.
-m. 30: The G in the LH moves down to an F-sharp in this measure.
-m. 32: The LH chord should still be omitting the third.
-mm. 33-34: Again, your chords are right, but the notes you have are different from what's actually in the music due to nonharmonic tones. I changed the notes accordingly.
-m. 36: Changed the A-sharp to B-flat as you actually have a dominant seventh chord built on C, signifying the modulation to the key of F major (the chord from the root is C,E, G, B-flat)
-mm. 37-50: The LH is an octave too low here and it sounds very awkward; however, I can't really see a way out of this as the bass is overlapping with and sometimes higher than the melody. I think probably how it is stands as the best way to handle it, unless you wanted to take the RH up an octave, which is also a viable option. I didn't change anything though.
-m. 38 & m. 46: Similarly to m. 10 & m. 18, which has the same chord in a different key, the A and C move down to G-sharp and B-natural rather than A-flat and C-flat. The chord is G-sharp, B, D, F. Notice how your third beat uses D and B? That's correct, so make sure your first beat matches. Since the chord hasn't changed, to remain consistent, your D and B would have had to be C-flat and E-double flat.
-mm. 41-44: Your RH harmonies aren't wrong for the chords, but they aren't what are in the music (again). I corrected the harmonies and added the D's drop to D-flat at the beginning of m. 42. In addition, since some of the harmonies in the RH are held for longer than you have them, I put these on a second layer as a second melodic line to accurately convey their durations.
-m. 48: Changed the G-flat to F-sharp as you have an F-sharp diminished chord here. In addition, if you listen closely, you'll notice that the F-sharp is actually held for the entire measure, so I changed that as well.
-m. 50: The LH chord is staccato and not held for the entire measure.
-mm. 55-70: The first note of every measure of the LH is an octave too high--listen to the beginning C and notice that the G that appears in every measure here is at a lower pitch, not a higher one.
-mm. 62 & 70: Again, where this comes into play in this key, the LH chord should contain a C-sharp, not a D-flat. And again, that makes it parallel with the C-sharp in the RH (which is correct).

That's all of my corrections. You don't have to update the files if you don't want to, but I suspect if you go to submit this you might run into some of the same comments. I don't mean to pry or change your arrangement without your permission, but after printing out a copy and playing through it I went to Finale to make these changes to make my own personal experience playing the piece better. That's all! Here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmxg7vqry1oos8b/Yumihiko%20Ichiyanagi%20~%20First-Class%20Reasoning%20Piano%20Solo.mus?dl=0)'s a link to my MUS file if you want to check them out.

Thanks! I won't pretend that I know more about music theory than I really do, but isn't that F# dim just an inversion of a C dim?
I'll edit this with more when I finish looking through everything.

I did mean to add slurs and such, but I completely forgot. It always makes it look so much nicer.

As for the tempo, that makes sense. I only have a digital one that can do any tempo, so you may see why I forgot to account for more classical ones.

Yes, the composer must have been a typo.

And accidentals are my weakness. I try to get them right, but it doesn't always happen. I really should start printing them out and just playing them. I've found so many accidental errors in sheets on the site by doing that.

mm. 37-50 -- I wanted to avoid moving the RH up an octave just because the next portion is already high enough as it is and I didn't want to mess with the transitions. I completely get what you are saying about the bass sounding weird, though.

mm. 55-70 -- Moved up the bass for playability's sake. If it's still readily playable, than I'll keep that.

Technically they're enharmonics of one another but the reason you would use F-sharp is because the G is moving down.

Quote-m. 10 & m. 18: Changed the G-flat in the LH to an F-sharp since you have an F-sharp fully-diminished seventh chord.
Actually, you're going to want to spell that like D#dim7. This is to show the chromatic movement D# to E and F# to G with the following measure being C major.

Post by: Jompa on May 28, 2015, 02:54:47 PM
When dim-chords appear in tonal music, in general it can be from two cases: the first case is when it acts as a dominantic chord, which is when it is on the leading tone to the next chord (like a dominantb9-chord with the root left out), which means that there would be no discussion what the root would be (and it would create perfect voicing anyways, so noone would disagree).
The second case is when it isn't a dominantic chord, but still leads to the next chord - which is common when both the dim and the next chord is on the step of the tonic! This works because some of the notes move to the next chord chromatically, and eventhough it isn't a dominantic chord the "dim-tension" is still there, and is still moving to a stable chord.
In this case one should NOT pay attention to what the root of the chord is when it comes to accidentals, cause that wouldn't get us the optimal voicing, but what we HEAR is that it is a dim on the tonic-step, so harmonically/functionally speaking; if this were to happen in C-major, like in this piece, it would be a C-dim.
But as I said, we shouldn't notate as that, because the note-picture is actually more important than the harmony (because this isn't jazz). So as a conclusion: The best thing to do considering the note-picture would be to do what Bespin's saying.

I kinda get it. So I was right with the chord, wrong with the notation. Well, I guess I can fix that in Notepad.

Chapter 26
"The prince's room... Is that the door?"
"......"
"General Murdock, the prince's bodyguard, should be away. The king concocted some errand to call him from Zephiel's side... There are no guards around. This is an...easy job, isn't it? I... I can do this! This is my first mission, you know? I guess I'm a little nervous, but... I mustn't fail. Mustn't let Mother down."
"......"
"Are you ready, Jaffar?"
"I've...no desire to be a part of your blundering... If you fail, I will, without hesitation, finish the target and then you."
"What!?"
"Do not be so naive as to expect help from "friends." ...Remember that."
"I...I knew that. Don't have to tell me... I'm a member of the Black Fang, after all. Ha ha..."
"......"
"...I won't fail. I will become worthy... I will. Mother will be proud of me. She will see the daughter I've become, and she will love me. ...There are no guards. It's just like we were told, but...something's strange."
"......"
"Listen! A voice! Someone's talking in the room!"
"No... Someone's praying."
"You're right... It's the prince, isn't it? I wonder what he's praying for."
"I offer this prayer unto thee: My coming-of-age ceremony is tomorrow. As the prince of Bern, I've tried... I've tried my best not to be an embarrassment to my father. I know I've not met with his expectations. But I will try harder. I will please him. I vow to do better. For him."
"......"
"......Hear me: Tomorrow, I will be a man... So this is my last wish as a foolish child. It's the same one I've asked of you every night for all these years, but... Please, bring Father and Mother together again. Please, let the day come when Guinivere and I and her mother... When all of us can live together happily in the castle."
"......"
"It's time..."
"Oh! Jaffar..."
(Jaffar opens the chamber and attacks Zephiel)
"..."
"What!? Villain..."
"That will leave him unconscious for some time. Now, the time has come for you to do your part..."
"......"
"...Do it."
"...O-OK."
"......"
"I...cannot."
"What!? What did you say?"
"Listen to him... All he wants is his parents' love... To be accepted... That's all...... He's just like me. No matter how I try, Mother always looks at me as if I were nothing. Her eyes are so filled with disappointment. She's never held me... not even once......"
"Stop this foolishness! I told you! I will not permit you to ruin my opportunity!"
"I know... Do as you must, Jaffar. I won't resist. You can do it easily. But...please don't hurt the prince. ...For pity's sake..."

You should make sure that every accidental makes sense with all the little key changes all over the place. Also because then the right hand and left hand would have the same accidentals for the same enharmonic tone, and there wouldn't be both flats and sharps at the same time. It'll look much better that way.

*M. 9 ~ The E natural should be Fb (it's still the same chord held over from m. 8)
*M. 9 ~ There's a third voice you missed. It goes "Fb - Eb - Db"
*M. 12 ~ You missed the Bbb root in the LH chord. Absolutely essential.
*M. 13 ~ The E natural should be Fb
*M. 14 ~ You missed the Db root in the LH chord.
*M. 15 ~ You missed the Cb root in the LH chord.
*M. 16-17 ~ The spellings are all off here. Just use what's outlined by the chord Gbm7 (Gb, Bbb, Db, Fb)
*M. 19 ~ At the end of the measure (beat 4.5), you're going to want to spell it as F# and G# to lead properly into your new key signature. Technically you would want to keep using the spelling you already have to prevent disobeying the then current key signature, but that would mean writing the forthcoming section in a theoretical key signature of Bbb major instead of A major as you already have, which would create more headache than its worth. So, tl;dr, use F# and G#
*M. 32 ~ G# in beat 1 Rh should be Ab (you used an Ab in the LH so...  ::) )
*M. 33 ~ D# in beat 1 Rh should be Eb (you used an Eb in the LH so...  ::) )

I won't pretend I know much about music theory, but isn't that technically the same as F# minor, which is what I tried to spell it as? I sort of get the "using flats" sort of thing, but it seems weird to go with such a strange key.

You spelled everything right for the most part!

*M. 33-36 is just a transition period for modulating from B minor to C minor. So omit the key signature change and keep it in B minor until m. 37.
*In conjunction, this will help m. 36 make more sense. Spelling the G# in the bass as Ab, and respell the RH accordingly by spelling with flats instead of sharps (ex: beat 1 would be F-Ab --> E-G)
*One more thought ~ The RH in m. 1-16 get really low in the Treble clef. I'm seeing 4 or 5 ledger lines below the staff sometimes. Play around with cross-staving and/or clef changes to remedy this.

I stink at/don't know how to properly do cross stave notation. Using an 8vb just looks weird, and you still end up with 4 ledger lines up top. And using a bass clef definitely doesn't work.

In other news, Debeste song ever was finally fixed.

Just look at manuscripts! I've never had a class or formal instruction. Imitation is the backbone of pedagogy. Here's a cross-staff example I had in mind that could remedy your situation (Urtext edition of Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie" No. 1):

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Sati_e.gymnop%C3%A9die.01.0003-0010.svg/600px-Sati_e.gymnop%C3%A9die.01.0003-0010.svg.png)

See how the LH plays both the long bass and the 3-note chords? The engraver could have just written the chords all in the bass clef, but that would result in lots of ledger lines. Instead, they chose to move the upper two tones into the treble clef.

I know I'm not too experienced, but another pair of eyes always helps, so here's what I've got:
Hi Hi Hi
- m3-10(right hand): sounds like it should be an octave higher
- m3,5,7,etc(right hand): the 16th note B on the third beat sounds really short and staccato-like, not connected to the last beat. Adding a staccato doesn't really do anything to the playback, but I think it would be more than feasible for a human to do at that tempo (correct me if I'm wrong, I have a keyboard without weighted keys)
- m4,6,8(right hand): the G# on the third beat sounds like it should have some sort of articulation; I'm thinking that thing with the dot and the dash would fit well (excuse my lack of musical vocabulary)
- m12(left hand): I don't think that last 8th note should be there; the bassline sounds empty on that beat when I listen to the original
- m15(right hand): seems like there should be four 8th notes instead of just two. I think you could still get the full fade-to-nothing effect with four, you'd just have to play the first louder
Legend of the Divine Dragon (A)
- The only thing I'd do with this one would be to have the right hand melody during m3-20 played in octaves (don't think that's the right term for this). If you keep the same notes you already have and just fill in the exact same notes & rhythm raised an octave, I think it would sound better and more accurate. I hope you understand what I'm even trying to say ::)
That's all I've got for now after skimming these arrangements and listening to the originals. Normally I'd leave this to somebody else, but nobody seems to have left any criticism for these yet, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I hope this was helpful! :D

This turned into a rather large edit. I guess I had too much fun :P Sorry if the fact that I edited so much doesn't go well with you. I'd understand!
I do have doubts about the difficulty I gave it, but I'll leave that to you. I struggle with leaving something out...
The changes I did are everything from correcting wrong chords and notes, to including important harmonies that you didn't include, and also better instrumentation for the piano and voicing of the chords.
When it comes to wrong notes and chords (like at measures #47-#48 you had B-flat-sus), there weren't much wrong, but I still changed quite a bit of notes (like octaves and stuff), mainly to make some parts a bit closer to the original.
The one thing that struck me when I saw your arrangement for the first time, was that you were missing some harmonies (like at measures #31-#32, or measure #48 and throughout the chorus, and especially at the part at measure #67).
The main thing I edited was the instrumentation (idk if that's what it's called in english). You'll notice I changed the chords around quite abit. This is because you were quite often having triads down in the deep, and that doesn't sound good at all. You'll notice that I changed this into mainly powerchords, which is what sounds best in the deep, especially in a rock-song like this. I also optimalized all the chord layouts, just in general, so everything sounds pretty darn good right now.
I also added pedal markings, because those make those parts work way better!
At measures #53-#54 I included the upper harmony in these two measures, even though that isn't the lead. I did this because it sounded much much better this way - even better than having it an octave below!
And I kinda added something of an ending.

Sorry, but here's a newer version again ;) Parenthesized some accidentals, and fixed some places that sounded kinda empty.

Great edit, but there may be a few issues about playability. I'll get back to you on that.
Will you want the "edited by Jompa" in the final version?

edit:Ninja'd by a newer version. It looks a little cleaner in parts, but there are still a few collisions that I can fix on my own, except for the beams in measure 12, as I can only open this with notepad.

Since you can only open it in NotePad, I'll ofc help with anything you want to change, so just tell me.
I don't need the "edited by Jompa".
btw, some of the G-flats in the last part of the song could use some accidental-parenthesizing. Not super-necessary, but I'd do it.

Post by: Maelstrom on September 04, 2015, 04:54:16 PM
I would like to announce that there will not be any new arrangements before I leave, unless something strange happens. (sorry)
However, I have revised each and every arrangement in my OP and removed those that I did not feel were worth saving.
There are two exceptions, however: Serpent Devouring the Horizon, and Tragic Decision. I hope to have a heavily revised version of each up before I leave.
Everything in the OP is fair game for any criticism/feedback you may have.

Tragic Decision has been updated.
It is now the full version that appears in the game, not the OST, so yay.

Post by: Maelstrom on September 12, 2015, 07:48:57 PM
So, my final arrangement before my departure tomorrow. I won't quite be gone 9 months, much less, 9 years, but I thought this song title and tone fit a bit.

9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors

Post by: Jompa on September 13, 2015, 02:38:42 AM
Good arrangement! It's really nice.
The modulation you've notated isn't really present in the song: the chord progression just goes to a weird chord (well, semi-weird), but it isn't a modulation. It's C-major all the way, basically.
Another thing I'd do something about is that ending chord (assuming it isn't a part of the original song). You should seriously do something more exciting than just a super-balanced major-triad! It's so overused it makes the ending corny, and it doesn't really fit the arrangement anyways. For example, I'd do this: http://pasteboard.co/BCpyYx4.png
Also, listening to the original, I realize that a lot of the stuff you've written in the right hand is a mix between chords being played, and the melody. I'm not against this, but in this case it is impossible for the performer to see what is the melody, as right now everything appears to be the melody. I suggest you rework it somehow, using layers, so that one can see the melody.
Other than that, this is good.

And good luck on your trip!

Unfounded Revenge:

- Ms. 15 and 17 follow the same pattern as 19 (the second Ab of the triplet in 15 should be a Bb, and so on). Same applies to the repetition.
- The Gb's of m. 12 should be F#'s, considering they're appogiaturas of the following G.
- Decresc. in ms. 3 and 4 would be nice.
-  M. 29:

Anyway, with that, I'll take my leave and will only pop back in when/if I have a few new arrangements.

I'm feeling too lazy to find the originals, so enjoy.
I feel a little bad for making it seem like me leaving might be a big deal and I just popped in with a bunch of arrangements like nothing changed. Because of that, and to keep me from using the internet as much, I'll share any arrangements I complete from now on when I get back to the states. There will be many, and hopefully quite a few from Mother 3.

Thanks, everyone!

I now have a youtube channel where I posted video scores when I was bored, and will be posting performances later this year. Check it out here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQdrBkF0mkzOzu0Hqynntg?feature=hovercard)

In addition, all links in the op have been fixed.

And now, for even more arrangements.
First, my final edited version of Serpent Devouring the Horizon, which is now more or less completed and in a satisfactory state.

Bravely Default
Serpent Devouring the Horizon

And a completely revamped sheet from the same game I had previously arranged:

Cave of Darkness

A brand new arrangement from one of my favorite games. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Just at a glance: you either need to change the first few lines' left hand to treble clef or put it in the top staff in a second layer. As you have it, notated in bass clef with an octave sign, is clunky and difficult to read. Same for when it comes back in m. 25, etc. That's just basic notation stuff. It's actually twice as glaring because you almost never should use an octave ABOVE sign for bass clef (or an octave below for treble clef). I don't see any serious issues with the rest, though I also haven't listened to it, just read through.

Trust me, I tried clef changes. It got really, really messy.
Thanks, though.

In response to your new thread title:

GaMetal exposed me to Etrian Odyssey III's soundtrack, so I've listened to some of its battle themes. Although I generally like the way they combine consonant tunes with rhythmic edginess, for some reason, I tend to be more strongly attracted to the dissonant ones.

...Shucks, the song I know best is still the one with a GaMetal remix, "Their Own Brand of Justice". I've listened to "Unrest ~ Hoist the Sword with Pride in Your Heart", but I do not remember the tune...

In addition, before I forget to mention this, I will be following 2 rules in choosing songs to arrange. I encourage MLF Sebastian and Latios to do the same, but all of Latios's arrangements are probably Pokemon.

Rule 1: No more than 1 arrangement per game
Rule 2: No more than 2 arrangements per franchise. If they would be put in the same section on the site (aside from "Other", this counts.)

Wow looked and listened to Id - Purpose! Really really impressive! I don't listen to much FE music, but Id - Purpose is one of the few I've heard, and also a really great VGM in itself! :D

-Maybe have a note, to inform the performer, about the pedal. I think that the pedal should be used as it gives a bigger sound (like an orchestra), and that you should write it out somehow.

-Also, m.60-63, maybe try to include the arpoggiated harp chords in some arpoggiated chord. Could add some touch and nuance to that section.

Title: Re: Maelstrom's Arrangements -NEW- Umineko - Thank you for being born
Post by: Latios212 on February 13, 2017, 08:32:44 PM
I just finished Awakening yesterday and heard "Id (Purpose)" in game for the first time. I know I'm late, but it's an extremely effective piece played where it is. So I took a few hours today and played around with your sheet. I was gonna chat you up on Skype but you seemed busy and I realized there's way too much to talk about in one sitting anyway, so I'll just leave my thoughts here before I forget them. Keep in mind this is just feedback from listening to the original a few times and playing it on the piano, so there's not much regarding correct/incorrect pitches here. Haven't checked a single note yet.

Some general things:
- The title is "Id (Purpose)" according to the in-game soundtrack... no squiggly line.
- Not gonna lie, Finale playback makes this arrangement sound downright boring in a lot of places (actually, most of them haha). But everything sounds pretty great on piano, when pedal is used as necessary.
- Speaking of pedal, I've tried working out what sections would sound better with pedal and which don't. I think pedal would be useful in a lot of places where you haven't notated it, though I don't have much specific to say in that regard right now.

Measures 0-16
- You need a segno at m. 1 since this song doesn't repeat to the pickup (the pickup's written in with the last measure at the end).
- Missing grace note in m. 1 beat 1 (like m. 5).
- Ties going the wrong way between m. 3-4.
- I'd try incorporating the countermelody in m. 9-10. Maybe other places too, but this part stuck out to me more.
- The low notes in m. 9-10 are annoying to get, but doable. I say that because I can get them at speed, barely. It's a bit of a stretch but it's passable. If you have any other ideas to prevent this though that'd be great.
- If that bottom note in m. 16 is supposed to be an octave lower like the measure before, go ahead and lower it since the RH can take some of the 16ths.

Measures 17-32
- Yeah starting here that bass part on beat 1.75 just isn't happening. It's fine in some of the measures but 18 is just no, as are 22, 25-29, etc. (I haven't thought of a way around it yet, though.)
- You definitely need to fill in the RH with more harmonies. Octaves just aren't cutting it in terms of sound.
- The 8va section drops to the melody an octave lower in 23, which is a sizeable jump. I don't think it feels that way in the original.
- m. 32 just seems... empty. The 16th line keeping the song moving just abruptly stops.

Measures 33-50
- I feel like the right hand could benefit from some more harmonies here.
- I'm not hearing the repeated melody note in m. 38. Likewise with m. 46.
- Haven't tried it out yet, but I think the other layer would be better under the melody in m. 39-40.
- Again with m. 48 - it's kind of tough to hear exactly what's going on but the rest in the RH just makes the sheet sound empty again.
- The music should definitely not be getting quieter from m. 49 into 51, so tweak those dynamics a bit.

Measures 51-68
- Are m. 51-64 just pasted from before? Everything I said about those measures applies here too.
- It seems to me you could afford to beef up the LH rhythm in m. 65-68 a bit. Again with the whole buildup of the main section just going poof for a bit.
- Octaves seem kind of annoying to play in m. 67-68. Maybe think about not doing octaves.

Measures 69-86
- Not much to say here again from maybe some more harmony would be nice, this time in the LH. There's a lot of interesting stuff to hear there, especially past 77.
- Those LH tenths in m. 86 are kind of not fun to play, even at reduced speed. Maybe try cutting out the RH part as it is and focusing more on the low ascending notes, as the high part's being eased out in the original anyway.

Measures 87-102
- Is there a reason why you have the staccato-tenutos hidden in just the LH and not the RH? Perhaps one well-written direction could eliminate the need for these.
- An accent or something might do nicely on m. 88 beat 4 melody.
- The LH 8vb note is too close to the notes there. Actually, I'd just suggest having the 8vb line for reasons stated below.

Measures 103-111
- If the LH is going to be written like that, I'd recommend ending the 8vb before this section. Those notes are really, really low, and don't sound too nice when I tried them.
- You have this written as 1-2 repeat but this whole section repeats five times (beginning at 87), each more climactic than the last. I'd recommend writing out the fourth iteration separately. You do a good job of making each iteration fuller than the last, with the countermelody in the second, more bass in the third, and more RH harmonies and (finally) the 12/8 rhythm in the fifth. Use the fourth iteration to bridge a better gap between the third and fifth, because as it's written right now, both the RH harmonies and LH 12/8 rhythm just come BLAM out of nowhere but in the original it's a gradual buildup. If you want my suggest, start introducing more RH harmonies and change up the bass part.

Measures 112-119
- This is a difficult but well-done LH part for the climax. I like it a lot. I'm not too satisfied with the RH, however. I know there's a ridiculous amount of stuff going on in these last few measures of the climax but 116-119 don't sit particularly comfortably with me for a few reasons: a huge jump down from m. 115, absence of harmonies in the second half of 116 and 118, and hand overlap in 118. Then again it's just maybe the fact that in the original I literally cannot hear that line that you wrote out.

Measures 120-end
- This may be difficult to try and emulate, but this ending section feels like sort of a "cool-down" from the climax back to the intro. As such I'd say as with before the release in tension is a little too quick. I would definitely try adding more harmonies; if nothing else, perhaps just a chord in beat 1 of m. 120.
- The D.S.

That's all I got for day one. Despite all that above text this is a very nice sheet, just needs some more polish.

I don't agree with several things in this arrangement, I'll quickly list them (I'm not saying you should change anything, these are just some quick things I saw, based on the OST you linked):
  • m2, m6, m19 LH: that rhythm is one octave lower. If you're afraid of the hypotetical quick 2 octave jump, since they are very low notes, it doesn't really matter if you remove the A on the second beat. Also, I think they are played forte, I would write it.
  • m3 RH, I don't hear any C in the original. Also, I hear that the upper A should also repeat. I would just remove the A on the second beat in the right hand, so you can keep the rhythm with right notes. After all, you also don't hear an A on the second beat in the original, it's covered by that rhythm.
  • m4, m21 RH, the second chord should have the lower A you removed for some reason. I don't think it can be problem, since it can just be taken by the LH. Also, the last 3 chords should be all staccato in my opinion, I don't see a reason to change it really. Actually, I don't even hear chords in the original, I hear single notes played forte. But chords could also make sense on piano, since you can evoke more instruments with the sound of a chord.
  • m7, m8 RH. There are 10ths in the original. Probably the choice that makes the sound as close as possible to the original is by writing thirds instead of 10ths, and also add a lower octave to the melody (for example the first chord would be E C E, then F D F, E C E, B D B and so on). Also, I hear them as all staccato.
  • m12-13 you missed an entire measure.
  • m20 There's the characteristic rhythm in the RH.
  • m25-27 You can hear the characteristic rhythm, I would insert it. Of course you can't insert in the proper octave, but you can repeat the chord. That would make it a little closer to the original.

3 years ago, on this very day, I created this thread and posted my first arrangement. Back then we still had the old submission system and I aspired to be the "cool thing" then, a Veteran Arranger. As soon as the new system was introduced 6 months later and the position was rendered obsolete and removed. Around a year and a half later, I became an updater. All this time I've been slowly becoming a better arranger thanks to the feedback and support of you guys here. Thank you so much. Here's to another year of arrangements!

Post by: Pianoth on April 13, 2017, 03:50:24 AM
Congratulations on your 3 years, and wow that's indeed a pretty long one. I listened to it following the score, and I noticed these things:
  • In m4, m8 and similar, I'm hearing a D♭ in the right hand (I'm hearing G A♭ C D♭ F). That's probably because the registration of the organ that is used plays the notes in the higher octave as well. I would put it anyway since I hear it.
  • There's probably a missing repeat bar line in m57 (m54~m57 should repeat 2 times). Also check the following things though.
  • In m62, m63 and similar, I would write the last chord of the right hand of m62 B E A B, and the last chord of the right hand of m63 A♯ D♯ G♯ A♯. That would sound a little closer to the original probably.
  • Following what the music does, I would probably change completely how you wrote m54~m81, saving quite a few bars: I would fully write the repetition of m54~m57, put a repeat bar line in m65 (that would actually become m69), and delete m66~m81 (that would actually be m70~m85). Then, also delete m99~102 (I'm too lazy to calculate what bars those would be lol), and put another repeat bar line in m98. That would save quite a few bars, and you could easily fit everything in 9 pages after this.
  • m87, the E in the right hand should be E♮.
  • m88, the metronome mark should definitely be over the first note of the bar.
  • m90, I'm definitely hearing an A♮ in the third and fourth beat. It's probably G A♮ F in the right hand.
  • m91, I don't think it's a quintuplet. I would write it as two tuplets, or a sextuplet (with the pause being the first "note").
  • m93~m97, the alterations look pretty strange to me, you should probably change key signature.
  • m107, there's something happening in the left hand that you definitely didn't write. Any reason?
  • m133, C♭ should actually be B, since it's counterpointistically moving to C (there are other wrong accidentals but I'm too lazy to list every single one).
  • m136, in the right hand, I'm hearing E♭ G♭ B♭ D♭, instead of what you wrote.
  • The repeat bar line in m103 should actually be moved to m105, as you can easily hear in the OST.
  • m146 onwards, yeah, I won't check those today LOL.

Anyway, nice job! :)

Sorry to keep you waiting! I'll get back to you this week when I head back to college and have access to my keyboard.

On the spur of the moment, I arranged an 8-bit song with a chiptune equivalent of an electric guitar solo.

HOORAY! Some arranged for a game that I introduced to the site! AND it's a Game Boy song! Excellent choice & arrangement, Maelstrom!

By the way, would this count as a Mario game, given that this game's semi-sequel ending up being Mario vs. Donkey Kong? I'm sorry, I should have verified before submitting "Chase" a few months ago...

Well, the whole Mario thing originated from Donkey Kong if you're making that argument. Pretty sure it's fine (it has Donkey Kong in the title lol).

This song is weird. There's 3 variations in the MP3, but due to the instrumentation I picked out when I arranged meant that there would be little to no difference between them. For the sake of simplicity, I have only arranged the first version. Oh, and I'm really satisfied with how it turned out.

Quick side note, the official name for this song is "Let the Battles Begin! (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/final-fantasy-vii-original-soundtrack/61018952)" Otherwise, great job!

But that song has eight zillion too many names: "Fighting"? "Those Who Fight"? That game's regular boss theme suffers from the same name-itis problem.

I know this quote is from 2014, but did you ever finish your arrangement of "Beneath the Duchy's Banner"? I was just starting to consider transcribing this piece, but after seeing that you were nearly done your arrangement, I figured I'd rather listen to yours instead.

I did not. About halfway through the piece, younger me realized that the song was not in 4/4 and didn't feel like changing everything from triplets. If you want it, go ahead.

Post by: Maelstrom on April 09, 2020, 02:01:15 PM
It's hard to believe that on this day, 6 years ago, I posted my very first piano arrangement. During that time, I finished high school, spent 8 months abroad, became an updater, and am currently wrapping up college and have recently accepted an offer for graduate school. I can't say how much time I'll have in the future, and I'm certainly not going away now, but this something I've wanted to do for a long time and didn't want to miss the chance to re-arrange my first sheet I posted on the site. If you want to see my original (please don't, it's very bad), you can check out a .mus here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ey9eueiv9y81zf/Rundas%20Battle%20Theme.mus?dl=1) in all its 2014 glory.

Kenji Yamamoto's heavy use of choir is always hard to replicate on piano, so I built up the chords to try to make the piece was always full of interesting notes and sounds.

Post by: Zeila on April 09, 2020, 02:48:54 PM
The improvement between the two versions is very vast, nice work! The only thing I immediately noticed when comparing your updated version to the original song is that there are pauses after some of those chords like right before measures 3, 4, and 5 in the original, where you currently just have whole notes preceding those instead of half (in the case of m2) or dotted half notes

Happy 6 years! A lot sure does happen in 6 years ^^

Thanks for all you've done around here, from reviewing sheets to (of course) making many that I enjoy playing. You're someone I looked up to a lot as I was learning how to arrange, and it's been fun playing sheets with you in person a few times too :)

And I look forward to more arrangements of course!

Looks really good. One thing: m.27: that grace note looks a bit weird. Consider flipping the beam on it. (I think grace notes have their beams upwards, in general).

Continuing the trend of metal-inspired arrangements. Next week will break that trend. The song in question is entirely piano, and from a game I've never arranged from before.

Post by: Zeila on August 25, 2020, 08:17:52 PM
I checked out Jena Anderson and Bowser's Highway Showdown and they both sound nice, good job :3

Here's some feedback for Bowser's Highway Showdown if you'd like:
  • m1 RH there are A's playing instead of the B and D that you put
  • m2 RH first chord sounds like it also has a G and B (and maybe an A on the bottom but that would have to be played with the LH or taken out anyways); second chord sounds like Cn-Eb-Fn-Ab instead of D-Fn-Ab
  • m7/15 RH missing tie before beat 2?
  • m15/16 RH low Db should be F
  • m17/18 RH missing Ab in the chord
  • m19/20 RH G should be En; personally I think it sounds better without the 3rd in the RH and if you wanted to then you could add a Bb here too, but you can still leave the G there if you wish
  • m20/22/24 LH beat 4 sounds like F-Fb instead of Fb-Eb
  • m21/23 RH there is some dissonance there with some Gb's below the Ab's (and the chord at beat 3.25 should be F-Gn-C instead of Gb-C since it goes down by a half step)
  • m22/24 RH likewise there is dissonance here too with Ab's below the Bb's (then Gn under An and Dn)
  • m25 RH beat 3.25 the Gb should be a Gn here too
  • m25-26 RH you could add the Eb's and F's here respectively, but just up an octave so it can actually be played. If you don't like the sound here then that's okay too
  • m26 LH you could add the synth arpeggio on beat 4 to lead into m27
  • m27-29 I think it would be more interesting if you wrote out the arpeggios in the RH and had the LH do power chords, but it's fine if you want to leave it as is. If so, then why leave measure 29 blank in the RH?

Overall it was just missing some harmonies, some of which aren't required, and there were a few wrong notes

Listened to your latest KRtDL "Volcano Area" transcription and noticed some things:
  • There is no starting dynamic indication. Mezzo forte or maybe even mezzo piano doesn't sound like a bad idea at the start, though!
  • The first staccato C eighth note in Bar 20 should be a 16th note instead, with the B natural immediately below it right afterwards as another 16th note.
  • IMO, this piece should be in 12/16 time instead of 6/8 time - this is particularly emphasized in 16th-note passages like Bars 21-24, where every third 16th note is de-emphasized (instead of every second 16th note as I'd expect from 6/8 time).

With that, I have finally surpassed my last weekly arrangement attempt. 16 sheets, my current streak, is closing in on 4 straight months of sheets. I've enjoyed it and keeping this pattern helps keep me engaged with arranging and updating in general, so I don't plan to stop any time soon.

Always wanted to arrange this song, and I think I did it justice. It's one of my favorite preparation themes of the series. The best part, the section right before the loop, is somehow cut out of most versions of the song online so it was a pain to find one that actually had the full song on it.

And that's 20 arrangements delivered in weekly fashion this year. I hope to keep it up next year, so look forward to more!

Because no one else is crazy enough to arrange from KI Uprising, apparently.

So, that marks half a year of weekly sheets. It's hard to believe I've actually made it this far. I intend to continue, but I am, now more than ever, acutely aware that this can't continue forever. Other responsibilities are encroaching on my free time and will eventually devour it, possibly until there is nothing left. Still, until that time comes, I'll keep posting sheets because this is what I enjoy doing.

Wow, it's hard to believe that I've been doing this for so long. 7 years ago, to the day, I first posted this thread with my first (admittedly terrible) arrangement. Since then, a new submission system was introduced, the URL was changed, hit 3k (and 4K) sheets on the site, I became an updater, the entire undertale soundtrack was arranged and uploaded, the site admin changed, and the community transitioned away from the forums to discord. Times change, and so have I, moving from highschool, through a year abroad, through college, and now into graduate school. I can't say for certain how much time, if any, I'll still be able to give to the site as my projects ramp up. When a time comes where I'm no longer able to dedicate any of my time, I'll let you know. It's not that time yet, but it feels like it may be approaching despite my wishes. Until then, you may see more of me, you might not. Only time will tell.

You were and continue to be an inspiration in arranging.  Even in the years before I joined you were my favourite arranger on the site and I hope you can continue to make arrangements in the future, even if it's at a reduced pace.

Post by: Maelstrom on April 09, 2022, 03:04:11 PM
Well, I've been arranging for 8 years today (I feel old, that's nearly a quarter of my life). For that special occasion (and because I had some spare time) I threw this together. Would have made it a piano solo but I wasn't able to easily massage the vocal line into the LH so I left it as-is. If I submit it, I'll fix that and maybe add some more variations to spice up this kinda repetitive piece. I intentionally wrote it in 6/4 instead of 3/4 because the song is genuinely impossible to parse consistently if written that way. Besides, the 3/4 isn't incredibly obvious until the heartbeat comes in later so I think it's fine.
