Music / Favorite band/orchestral composer
October 21, 2009, 07:18:31 PM
I was just wondering who everyone considered to be their favorite composers. Personally I'm a big fan of Frank Ticheli. Sanctuary is probably my favorite piece, it really captures the esscence of music to me. His other stuff such as Blue Shades is also really amazing. Another favorite conducter of mine is Grainger, I loved playing children's march.

Music / Re: Perfect Moments in Music
October 21, 2009, 07:09:02 PM
I feel the best moment was when I performed Ticheli's snactuary in a concert for GHYWE (Greater Hartford Youth Wind Ensemble). It was my first concert in a high quality ban and about halfway through the song there was a giant crescendo. The Tuba was like the last intrument to come in and when we came in that moment sent shivers down my spine. That was the one moment that really epitimizes what music is all about to me.

The best intrument in the world the TUBA!! :) :) When it is played well it has the most wonderful sound. Everyone just assume all Tuba's do is play loud and low, but they can play nice peacful melodies as well.

Hi everyone I am a new member who is very intersted in this genre of music. I play the tuba and sing and have a good musical backround. I was very excited when I found this site because I have always loved video game musci. I love just listening to the song, and am going to attempt to arrange some songs during my limited free time.

Nintendo / Re: mario parties
October 21, 2009, 10:30:39 AM
I agree that Mario party has just gotten worse with time. I feel that 3 was by far the best, it had the best minigames and the two player battle mode was suprisingly fun. However the games are now old. I bought 8 figuring that the mini games would be fun on the Wii and was throughly dissapointed. Mario party is like many other nintendo series it's getting worse with age.

First of all just wanted to say that I love the site. I found it a few weeks ago and have constantly been on looking at and listining to all of the music. I have always been fasconated by Video game music and really love the site. I am currently a high school junior who (obvioulsly) plays the tuba and also sings in the choir. I have been considering trying arranging somthing for a while and when I found this site I thought it would be the perfect idea. I was thinking about arranging some of the chao melodies from Sonic Adventure Two Battle, are they allowed on this site?
