I have relatively few medleys, unfaithful arrangements, and transcriptions of non-video game music, so I'll be posting sporadically here at best. I do have an idea for a new, not-created-yet unfaithful arrangement, though...
Again, I'll slowly publish them on Musescore. You can listen to my works on Musescore's website (the audio will not be mastered there). These medleys and unfaithful arrangements may contain bridging melodies I wholly composed as well as music based on the source material (that isn't precisely the source material). I will not be publishing my pieces in order of arrangement. If enough of you request downloadable files, I'll start stocking up my Google Drive.

MedleysThe Legendary Air Ride MarchIt's The Legendary Air Ride Machine...if it were forced into march form and paired with a trio made of music from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Skull Ganged Up OnNecrodeus's and his Skull Gang's themes sound rather similar, and this arrangement combines them into one virtuoso showpiece.
MegaloTaliaA high-octane jazz medley of nearly all UnderTale pieces, this is rather like Megalovania in the style of Dummy!...with Hopes and Dreams woven in.
The Polka of Your Best FriendA high-octane medley of all UnderTale pieces, this swift polka mashes up Your Best Friend, Bergentrückung, and more.
Blazing Fast Battle - Divine Protection RequiredThis heavy metal remix of pieces from Fire Emblem Gaiden is so blazing fast, regular protection will not do.
Prism of DelightThis sonata-allegro on the Prism Plains theme from
Kirby: Squeak Squad and "Victory's Delight" from
Bravely Default was written for
Arrangement Contest No. 8 in B# "Mix"olydian "Amalgamation".
Spin the CatMashing up "The Feline Duplication Incident." by someone named Œnanthic and "Spin Ye Bottle" from
Shovel Knight, this aims for a round of 8-bit potion- and cat-tossing fun.
The Wayfarer and the Setting StarThis version of "Magolor the Wayfarer" (the main menu theme of
Kirby's Return to Dream Land) done in the style and meter of "My Friend and the Setting Sun..." (the Revenge of Meta Knight ending theme from
Kirby Super Star) was written for
Arrangement Contest No. 9 in C-triple-flat major “An Odd Time for a Contest!”. Oh yeah, I also did toss in quotes of other Kirby themes.
Unfaithful ArrangementsVariations on Holst's ThaxtedA reverent double theme and variations on Gustav Holst's hymn tune
Thaxted (a.k.a. the central theme of "Jupiter" from
The Planets), this starts off slowly and gracefully with a faithful (enough) version of the hymn but gradually builds to a climax. The climax breaks at Bar 104, and the piece ends mystically and quietly.
La Sonata DanzaIt's Gioacchino Rossini's song
La Danza...but in E minor instead of A minor, forced into sonata-allegro form, and now technically impossible to play for solo piano. Shucks.
Sleigh Ride GalopA fun rearrangement of Leroy Anderson's
Sleigh Ride in the style of a galop. ...Got taken out by a copyright strike, sadly.
Peppa'd Pig BluesIt's the 12-bar blues...version of the Peppa Pig theme!
O Come, All Ye Faithful (Piano Duo Arrangement)I'd say that typical arrangements of Christmas carols don't end with march variations, unlike this version.
Vladimir Horowitz Would Be ProudUnless you've played through "Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course", you've probably never heard of Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus, or Amanda Vick Lethco. Nevertheless, this is an virtuosic Liszt-style arrangement of a scherzo of theirs.
Klein Kirby InventionEver noticed how much the Cookie Country 1 theme of
Kirby's Return to Dream Land sounds like Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor at one point? If you did, this Baroque-style arrangement of the Cookie Country 1 theme is for you!
Are They Trying to Battle Us?Based on an "Attempt at a Battle Theme" by someone named Œnanthic, this string quartet version does not stray too far from the source.
Ragging Csikós PostThis piece follows the grand tradition of ragtime rearrangements of classical music. In this case, Hermann Necke's
Csikós Post suffers through this treatment.
Night Torch at the Sky FortressThis remix of Waterflame's
Sky Fortress rearranges the melodies of that work a lot.
Sonata CompletedThis is a relatively reverent completion of an incomplete "Sonata" by someone named Lorenzo Miceli.
Scherzo on "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"I'd say that "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" typically doesn't switch keys between sections, unlike this piano four hands arrangement.
Concert Paraphrase on "Dragon Fight!"Another devilishly virtuosic arrangement for piano, this time of
Blue Dragon's regular battle theme, "Dragon Fight!"
My Birthday Got InterruptedIt'll be tricky to find the excerpts of "Happy Birthday" in this modernist rearrangement for solo piano, but trust me, it's possible....
Variations on "The Mob Song"A reverent and relatively easy theme and variations on "The Mob Song" from
Beauty and the Beast, this alternates between tense and beautiful sections and ends with a bang.
Unforced WayThis set of variations on part of "Force Your Way" from
Final Fantasy VIII shows the beauty that portion has when its usual accompaniment is stripped away.
We Three Kings WaltzNow with more sections than the original Christmas carol "We Three Kings" actually has!
Finish This Score...Finished!Done for a contest, this is a completion of a piano starter by someone named Quaver Crafter.
Toccata on "Cannonball"This rock-style piano toccata on "Cannonball", the 3rd and last final boss theme of
Mega Man Zero 3, comes complete with its own solo!
Etude After "Fuoco" From Roland Dyens's Libra SonatineThis piano etude adds accompaniment for "Fuoco", the 3rd movement of Roland Dyens's
Libra Sonatine.
O Canada WaltzThis delightful waltz is based on Canada's national anthem, "O Canada".
Romp on a Simple ThemeDone for another contest, this takes a simple theme from someone named musical.catfish05 on a quick-paced jazzy journey.
Toccata on the Aggretsuko Opening ThemeThis is a full-blooded metal toccata on the opening theme of the Netflix series
Aggretsuko. Beware: the original opening theme is pretty metal itself....
God Rest Ye Funky GentlemenIt's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", only funk-influenced and with a solo! ...And it's for piano four hands!
Joy to the Jazzy World!An exuberant piano four hands jazz arrangement of "Joy to the World" is now at your fingertips!
Mixing More IngredientsThis rondo-form arrangement of "Mallow's Trial" from
Pokemon Sun and
Pokemon Moon keeps the chipper mood and the bounce of the original.
Variations on Beethoven's Turkish MarchThis double theme and variations on Ludwig van Beethoven's "Turkish March" keeps the energy of the original but puts new spins on it.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Piano Four Hands Arrangement)This arrangement of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" for piano four hands passes the melody between players and increases in intensity as it goes along.
The Azure Tree Stands in MourningThis "de-bossified" version of "The Azure Arbitrator", the final boss theme of
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure, was written for
Arrangement Contest No. 10 in A-flat Aeolian "Relaxing music to empty your head".
Romp On PaganiniThis madly syncopated set of variations on Paganini's Caprice in A Minor, Op. 1, No. 24 is sure to keep the groove going!
Deck Those Jazzy HallsA lively jazz piano four hands arrangement of "Deck the Halls" is now here!
Concert Paraphrase on "Knight of the Wind"This virtuosic piano arrangement of "Knight of the Wind" from
Sonic and the Black Knight goes hard on that song!
Non-VGM TranscriptionsIn Storm and Sunshine (Concert Paraphrase)John Clifford Heed's hit march
In Storm and Sunshine finally has a piano transcription! ...At least if you respect only the first repeats. Second repeats stop becoming faithful and start becoming devilishly virtuosic.
Elysian Quest OST Track #6 - Dangerous Enemy (Boss)Composed by OMMAIGADD, this is a piano transcription of a boss theme of the under-development, unreleased video game "Elysian Quest".
Prelude in C Minor, Op. 28, No. 20 (Chopin) (Band Arrangement)The unusual instrumentation is due to its genesis as an arrangement for a contest, but this is otherwise a fairly standard concert band-like arrangement of Chopin's famous prelude. The flute generally plays one octave higher than anything in the original sheet music.
The Dark JourneyComposed by Real Faction, this is a piano transcription of an ambient chiptune loop, easy to put in your video games. Perhaps the video games' characters are lost in the twilit snow...
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 2 in A Minor, Op. 39 (Elgar)Finally, a free piano transcription of Edward Elgar's
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 2 in A Minor! Beware: your hands need to span a 10th each to play several of the chords.
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 39 (Elgar)Finally, a free piano transcription of Edward Elgar's
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 3 in C Minor! Beware: your hands need to span a 10th each to play several of the chords, and at points, I even demand an 11th.
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 in G Major, Op. 39 (Elgar)Tired of signing up for websites to get a full free piano transcription of Edward Elgar's
Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 in G Major? Now you don't have to!
Sorcerors Battle (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)One of Jake "virt" Kaufman's beloved chiptunes now has a clarinet transcription!
Zaghnol ComesThis is a piano transcription of a particularly progressive metal OverClocked ReMix of "Hunter's Chance" from
Final Fantasy IX, arranged by Juan "SixtoSounds" Medrano.
VGM Non-Piano TranscriptionsThe Wonderful 101Tables Turn (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)This power-up theme is one of the most popular themes in
The Wonderful 101.
In this transcription, Bars 50-56 are the ending I semi-improvised.
KirbyDistant Traveler (Magolor Race EX Theme) (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)Originally a stage theme in
Kirby's Dream Collection, this gained a second life as a stage theme in "Dedede's Drum Dash".
In this transcription, Bars 47-63 are the ending I semi-improvised.
Save the Kingdom! Ordeal Quest (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)This plays when fighting against some Ordeal bosses in
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
In this transcription, the last part of Bar 45 is the ending I semi-improvised.
Kirby Fighters Deluxe - Title Theme (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)This, the title theme of
Kirby Fighters Deluxe, returns in
Kirby Battle Royale as a battle theme.
In this transcription, Bars 15-18 are the ending I semi-improvised.
BravelyBattle of Anne (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)This theme plays the first time you fight the evil cryst-fairy Anne in
Bravely Second.
In this transcription, Bars 165-183 are the ending I semi-improvised.
StardustSuper Stardust HD - StarFighting Across the Universe (Lave Theme) (B♭ Clarinet Transcription)This is the theme for the first level of
Super Stardust HD, the planet of Lave.
In this transcription, Bars 187-205 are the ending I semi-improvised.
Metal RemixesPiano Sonata No. 30, Op. 109, Movement 2 (Beethoven) (Metal Remix)This heavy metal remix of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30, Op. 109, Movement 2 attempts to keep it reverent...but how reverent can metal remixes of classical music be by default?
Spring Celebration (Stephen Chatman) (Metal Remix)Another relatively reverent heavy metal remix, this time of a piece called "Spring Celebration" by Stephen Chatman that you might remember from your piano exams.
Shadow Rituals (Michael Markowski) (Metal Remix)Yet another relatively reverent heavy metal remix, this time of a concert band piece called "Shadow Rituals" by Michael Markowski.
Piano Sonata No. 1, Movement 3 (Julian Cochran) (Metal Remix)Still another relatively reverent heavy metal remix, this time of the third movement of Julian Cochran's Piano Sonata No. 1.
Csardas Macabre, S.224 (Liszt) (Metal Remix)Another relatively reverent heavy metal remix, this time of Liszt's Csardas Macabre, S.224.
