[MUL] PMD: Blue/Red Rescue Team - "Great Canyon"

[SlowPokemon]

Completed and on site
Today I'm requesting one of my favorite songs from a great soundtrack. Here's a link to the song - Great Canyon.

I really love this song, how it sounds like some ancient waltz. But anyway I would appreciate this being done, and I would prefer it to be fairly playable without being crazily hard; but also something that will sound like the original. XD I know that's kind of hard to do, but I'm only requesting right now.

When it's not done in three days, I start DEMANDING

This makes me smile SlowPokemon . You see, I arrange a lot of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon music, so naturally I've had Great Canyon arranged already as it too is one of my favorites, so you get your request fulfilled immediately!

Now yes, I realize this is a two pianos arrangement, but it can also be played solo if you adhere to the following outline. If playing solo, play from the first piano measures 1-3, from the second measure 4, from the first measures 5-12, and from the second piano measure 13-28. Don't be scared off by all the switching I just mentioned, it's really quite simple.

I really love this song, how it sounds like some ancient waltz.

During my experience arranging this piece, I find your interpretation to be fairly accurate. Waltz-like yes, because the time signature is 3/4, but "ancient" as you say because the whole song is in pentatonic scale, a scale that is the basis of Chinese and Mongolian music.

Thank you! Looks great.

Necro, but relevant. I think you may be happy to know Slow that I got around to making a solo arrangement of "Great Canyon", which you can check out below.

Really excellent. I'm not really in a position to psychoanalyze it like I did your last arrangement (because I'm away from home) but I surveyed the PDF and it seems accurate as well as playable. When I get home sometime in the next week I'll try playing it, or at least compare it to the original song so I can give some feedback.
