Altissimo's Hamtaro Arrangements (New 12/15 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky thing)

[Altissimo]

General clean-up of the whole Ham-Hams Unite soundtrack in the hopes of getting featured arranger stuff

Spoiler

Advance note: There's no official OST. The youtube links are to a playlist I uploaded and named. So all these titles are my own based on the dozens of times I've played the game.

Tottoko no Uta (Japanese Title Screen)
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-moved the 2nd layer down to the bass clef to facilitate ease of playing
-this is based off the japanese intro to the anime, which as far as I can tell was written by Motoyoshi Iwasaki (based on a credit in the credits of the English dub)

Map
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-2nd layer has some funky re-octaving going on for ease of playing
-I especially wonder about the last measure in this regard (overlapping stems)

Boss' Theme
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-This is literally the theme of a character called Boss, so the apostrophe should be there lol
-It's also a slowed down/slightly rearranged version of the sheet called "I'm Your Ham" that's already on site.

Clubhouse Rooms 1
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Clubhouse Rooms 2
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Moved the bass down an octave to make it, well, a bass

Clubhouse Rooms 3
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Ham-Jam Room
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-This one might need a little more looking over, because I'm not always sure about octaves vs harmonies in this particular. I'm wondering especially about m. 8.

Menu (Japanese)
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-This is the menu theme, but only in the Japanese version of the game... because it consists solely of the bass + percussion tracks of the Japanese title screen theme, Tottoko no Uta. Since that wasn't used in the American/European versions, it was changed. This might be the best title, but ideas appreciated.
-Percussion omitted... since only one hand is playing, maybe it could be added in. Thoughts?

Menu (American/European)
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-This was used in the American and European versions of the game. It's the bass/percussion tracks of I'm Your Ham (on-site) or Boss' Theme. There are attempts to notate percussion at beginning and end; idk, maybe there could be more?

Acorn Shrine
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

HM Boutique
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Not entirely sure how to notate the fall in m. 12...

Sunflower Park
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-3/4 or 6/8? that is the question

Minigame
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Flower Garden/Cave
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-This plays in the Flower Garden and also in a couple caves, so I just called it that. I don't know if picking one or the other would be, like, more aesthetically appealing, though.
-Whole tone scale. Did I notate it okay?
-The bass is a bass now. This might not be the best idea. Thoughts appreciated.

Sunflower Elementary
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-attempts at percussion in m. 1-8 LH, thoughts?

Ham-Swap
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-How do the glisses at m. 2, 4, and 13 sound?

Jingle's 1st Song
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Jingle's 2nd Song
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Ruins
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-m. 3-4, 7-8, and part of 10 were raised an octave to reflect different instrumentation
-i dunno if the starting pitches of the glissandos are correct. Also how do they sound

Sky Garden
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-should I put the melody up an octave to avoid collisions?

Sunflower Market
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Little Lamb
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-the fade-out at the end of the video isn't part of the song.
-Moved parts of the 2nd layer down an octave for playability.

Chick-ah Jam
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-I'm... not too sure what happened to the glissandos at the end there

Sunflower
MID / MUS / PDF / Original

Bolero
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Copyright/arranger info because of its origins?

Postman's Rush
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Copyright/arranger because of its origins? It's missing the copyright info at the moment.
-The original is written in E minor, and this one starts in E minor, but ends with a B minor cadence. Which key sig should I use?

"g" Rock
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-got nooo idea what to do for the ending or even if those pitches are correct

Young'n Wild!
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-How's the gliss at the end sound?

Little Star
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Based on (but not exactly the same as) the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star theme. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has its origins in a French folk melody, but I'm pretty sure the melody was chosen here because of the association with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star specifically (it's called "Little Star" and plays at a point in the game where you've just collected the 12th of 12 actual stars), so composer info is "Based on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" rather than "Traditional French folk song".
-Moved the first and second layers down an octave each for playability reasons.

Unused Track 1
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Moved the second layer down an octave for ease of playing.
-I don't remember why I decided this was 12/8 instead of swing 4/4 but I know I had a reason

Unused Track 3
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-From New World Symphony; composer info reflects this
-Changed the octaves of parts of the arpeggios to make them easier to play

Unused Track 4
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Also from New World Symphony.
-I attempted to notate some of the bass "hits" that accompany the chord changes, but in different octaves for playability.

Unused Track 5
MID / MUS / PDF / Original
-Also from New World Symphony

Unused Track 6

Wow... You have done an impressive job!

I am going to get all the damn hamtaro songs arranged and on site, some way or another, if it kills me

speaking of:
Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games - Synchronized Swimming
MID / MUS / PDF /
Original

this is my personal favorite track from the whole game and I wanted to do it justice! What I have right now is only a first draft though

[Altissimo]

I went through the soundtracks for each of the Hamtaro games and wrote the tonics and time sigs (based on a first hearing anyway) for each of them, mostly for my own benefit when i get around to arranging but also for the benefit of latios or don or whoever wants to arrange from these games

I applaud your perseverance! If only I had just as much motivation to complete a whole collection of arrangements; I tend to always have too many songs on my wishlist than on my actual working list, lol. It's a hefty collection you have there so far, and there's so much more to come, wow! Best of luck!

My wishlist is huge too... but I also have a huge backlog completed so far, so it's not like I'm scrambling to get more arrangements done, haha. :p I'm definitely working on them, though!

Anyway, I overhauled/updated my OP. Still working my way through the Hamtaro tracks!

Changed the constant running sixteenth bass to eighth notes for playability reasons, and similarly the weird-ass triplets in 26-27 were made into... some more consistent pitches... for the same reason.

Route 104 from Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Latios has been bugging me to do this one ever since I replaced Surf, since the on-site sheet is kind of a complete mess.

MID / MUS / PDF / Original

It's still not fully finished - as it is it's very unplayable considering the ridiculous stretches, but I've been working on this for a long time today... done for tonight.

Comments, criticisms, suggestions etc much appreciated!!!!

[Oronoco]

a complete mess.

Wow... I'm glad you're working on this, too! When you finish, I'm going to share it with someone who loves this track and will appreciate it a lot!

[Tobbeh99]

nice arrangement!

Lot's of rests flying around however. Try moving some closer to it's system, and not in between systems and also broaden certain systems to make it cleaner and easier to read. Maybe also simplify some rhythms such as making the quarter notes into dotted quarters, with some articulation if necessary.

Maybe also simplify some rhythms such as making the quarter notes into dotted quarters, with some articulation if necessary.

I did this (not the broadening systems part yet, though). I am opposed to changing rhythms because it should be rhythm first, articulation second - e.g. articulations should not be used as a substitute for rhythms, even if it makes the rest layout look better.

Anyhow, a handful of new arrangements.
