Hi everyone! So, I've been a little busy with stuff lately BUT I have a new project that I'm starting! It's called...
THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY PROJECT!!
Yes, although I'm famously known for hating the Super Mario Galaxy series, I absolutely adore the music and thought other people at my Uni would too. So, that's how this came about! It's for the Wind Symphony at my Uni and I plan to incorporate a small handful of tunes from both games. Below is everything I've thought out so far:
THE BAND: Wind Symphony = Concert Band = no strings. I have saxophones at my disposal though, so that's fine. I'll just give the strings to other instruments.
RUNNING TIME: Somewhere between 10 and 11 minutes. Plenty of music, but not too much.
THE SONGS: (in this order too)
1. Staff Roll (SMG) - just the first 16 seconds
2. Battlerock Galaxy (SMG) - the whole song
3. Melty Monster Galaxy (SMG2) - the whole song
4. Starship Mario Themes (SMG2) - a combination of all three
5. Bowser Jr.'s Fort (SMG2) - the whole song
6. Attack of the Airships (SMG) - the whole song
7. The Luma and the Hat (SMG2) - the whole song
8. Theme of Super Mario Galaxy 2 - up to around 1:30
9. Staff Credits (SMG2) - from around 3:10 to the end
Oh yes... WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP: Tell me if the songs I've chosen are good! I've shown a number of people and they think this repertoire show a vast range of different colours and sounds from the games. Of course, if you know another song that might fit or would be better, you can suggest!
OR!
You could help arrange a piece! It's up to you! I don't mind doing it all by myself, but help's always appreciated. I found a few piano arrangements of these tunes to use as a reference, so that's also handy.
OR!
You could give me advice on how to make a smooth transition from one of the pieces to the next. I have a few of them figured out (1-2, 5-6, 6-7 and 8-9), but you can be the judge of that once I put what I've done up on display.
SO! That's all there is to know at the moment! I'll post to show you what I've done along the way so you can give me suggestions and tell me if I'm doin' it right. Until then!
