New Arrangements Submitted
Posted 12-02-2008 at 12:19 AM by MelloSinfonian
That's right, I've finally completed some more arrangements! The theme this week is opening themes for wind ensemble. I just submitted "The Memory of Last War" from Lufia and the Fortress of Doom (the first arrangement to come from this game, I believe, though not the series). A few days ago, I submitted "Opening Theme #1" from Final Fantasy VI. My community band is performing the latter at our next concert, so I've had the opportunity to hear it live. It works quite well. As great a tool as Finale is, there's nothing like hearing these arrangements performed! I'll be working on "Opening Theme #2" pretty soon so that we can use it, too.
Still in progress are:
"Highwind Takes to the Skies" from Final Fantasy VII; symphonic band
"Slider" from Super Mario 64 (which is now VERY near completion; the trumpet parts are not for the faint of heart!); brass quintet
"Opening Theme" from Lunar: Silver Star Story; symphonic band
In case anybody's wondering, I've been labeling large ensemble music without percussion parts as "wind ensemble" while labeling large ensemble music with percussion parts as "symphonic band." In reality, wind ensembles use percussion, but it's the easiest way I could think of to make the distinction clear to potential downloaders. I often arrange based on what I currently have in the ensemble I work with. Not all of my ensemble arrangements will have the exact same instrumentation/voicing divisions. However, if people need me to re-work something to suit a particular ensemble, I'm willing to help out.
