Time for the results yet again. Less people played this round, which is understandable because it was certainly harder than even my usual quizzes.

Thank you Jamaha for all the hard work you've put into keeping this place around!

And congratulations, Latios!! I know you'll be a fantastic admin.

I considered it now. The files have been edited.
#2029
I went through this sheet to see if I could fix it up a bit, and I came up with this.

I checked the notes, applied most of the changes that were previously mentioned in this thread, and took another shot at m21-28.
#2031

Edit: Sheet has been revised with repeat systems so it fits on 2 pages instead of 3.
#2032
Quote from: FireArrow on June 01, 2018, 11:46:27 PMi think the real critique is why did you chose to arrange this .-.
The same reason I choose to arrange a lot of the songs I arrange: because I'm almost certain no one else would want to.

I edited the submission with the timesig and harmony changes. I think it sounds better with just the one sus2 voicing anyway, and trying to cram in the other notes isn't worth the sheet sounding off. I also changed some of the spellings in the bassline to make more sense imo.

Static's Miscellaneous Melody Quiz XIX (Round 118)
[Folder of Stuff]

Time for another quiz! This one's only 10 melodies long, but its packed with my trademark difficulty and obscurity as always.
#2034
Just popping in for a bit:

I tried playing this sheet, and it's great! The only problem I have is the running 16th note 3rds in measure 2. Now, I'm not a great pianist by any means, but this part I think is exceptionally difficult for anyone to play at 167 bpm. I would recommend either removing the bottom harmony entirely or only including it on the 1st and 5th 16th notes (beats 3 and 4).

Static's Miscellaneous Melody Quiz XVIII (Round 115)
[Folder of Stuff]

This time, the theme is Mario series melodies only. Most of the songs I chose I think are pretty tough, but none of the games are particularly obscure (no Mario Kart Arcade GP or Mario Teaches Typing or anything like that). Also, melodies 13 and 17 are basslines.

Due to the nature of this quiz, I will not be providing any other hints.
#2037
[SNES] EarthBound - "The Metropolis of Fourside" for Big Band
[Folder of Stuff] [Original]

I came up with this idea many months ago and decided to go forward with it on a whim. As it started coming together, I asked my school's band director if our jazz band (which I play trombone in) could play it, and to my surprise (and delight), he said yes! We've already played through it a few times and it's honestly such a blast to play, not to mention one of the greatest opportunities I've had so far to hear my own sheets performed live.

Regarding the arrangement itself, I kept it pretty straightforward and similar to the original song, though I did add a full band section, a remixed variation, and a neat little ending. I tried using lots of common jazz idioms and ideas that I've seen in other pieces (or just happened to think of) and combined them together to make some interesting stuff. For my first time making one of these, I think this is a pretty good base for future jazz arrangements I plan to do. I'd also like to thank Olimar for taking the time to comb through the sheet (multiple times), and for providing really useful tips and advice for jazz arranging; I wouldn't have been able to make this at this level without his help.

To top all this off, Olimar's band performed the chart as well, and I couldn't be more happy to hear a higher-level group play it. He uploaded the recording, which I will link here.

[SNES] Chrono Trigger - "World Revolution"
[MID] [MUS] [MUSX] [PDF] [Original]

Yet another really cool battle theme from an SNES RPG... I guess that's not a surprise lol.

I tried making every section of my arrangement unique, changing up the accompaniment to suit the mood and feel of each part while still being true to the original. I think it worked out really well.

I said earlier that I would be done, that I ran out of ideas... But of course I eventually ran into melodies I thought would be fun to quiz people on, so here I am back again with more. This time it's a healthy mix of melodies and basslines, at the usual Static-brand difficulty.

For some reason, enabling human playback crashes Finale on this file and this file only, so be sure to actually look at the sheet instead of just listening so you can see all those trills, glissandi, and tempo changes.

Good luck! Results will be posted in a couple weeks probably.
