So I typed out a pretty decent response to each arrangement and then I was just about to listen to FA's when my computer just overheated like hell and died, so I kinda lost them. But here's the gist:
Bloop:
YEEEEEE MM ARRANGEMENT. I really think you did justice to the feeling of the game, and I really like how you too advantage of the similarities with majora's theme! I also agree with olimar on the third variation, that was fucking awesome.
Olimar:
Heh, I KNEW you were gonna take this in a jazzy direction. I love this theme, and I really like how it works with the different directions you took it. The last theme is so pretty :3
Clanker:
Oh, neat, a wind ensemble arrangement! You know, not enough people reallyWHERE THE FUCK IS THE EUPHONIUM
THAT'S IT
I'M OUT
I QUIT MUSIC
...actually though, I really liked this, haha. I can also hear grant kirkhope in your writing, and I feel you used the theme to effectively represent a lot of distinct moods. One recommendation I would make, though, is to take more advantage of the brass section; they're a pretty distinct feature of the wind band, and their capabilities are often underestimated! Also, CMON REALLY NO EUPHONIUM IN THE GROUP WHERE IT'S REALLY SUPPOSED TO SHINE UGGGGGHHHHHH
Them:
I do like the simplicity in this piece, especially considering you seem to use it as a developmental strategy; the rise in intensity up to/during variation V is much more effective with a simpler beginning. I also like your usage of first/second endings; they help the piece work more as a narrative while fitting within a more traditional framework. If there's one thing I'd recommend, though, it's to give more opportunity for expression by the player; dynamics make all the difference in the world, especially when it comes to solo piano pieces!
Firearrow I will listen to your piece as soon as my computer situation is figured out, haha. I'm looking forward to hearing it!
honestly i'd let fiercedeity do me while his song is playing on the background just saying it's amazing
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Oh and maestro, jokes aside, I really do appreciate you doing this. You do have to admit that it's kind of funny after the whole timeliness discussion, though
Perhaps we could establish a system where the winner of each contest hosts the next one?
