The "Replacing the Sheets Project" 1.0 - Current Target: Banjo-Kazooie

Uhmm...Why did you change the key to G major/C Lydian?

Kirkhope hardly ever uses modes rather, he sticks to major and minor keys, so it is unlikely, given the context of the song, that this is in C Lydian. I think given the compositional and atmospheric style of the piece, that it is in C major. Kirkhope keeps his music melodically simple, so I think its more likely he intended C major over Lydian.

I can see how you thought it needed C Lydian, with no F's in the theme and occasional F#'s, however this is due to the chord changes Kirkhope employs. Banjo-Kazooie was written using the chord progression I - #IV since it sounds "kooky." (Analyse "Mumbo's Mountain's" main theme to see this). "Treasure Trove Cove" also does this during its B and C sections. Kirkhope also uses a I - bVI progression he uses in other songs, (e.g "Grunty Industries.") in the main melody. In this case, rather than an F#, it should be a Gb, given the change in chords.

Sorry if I got all technical on you, but this is a key signature we're talking about. Nothing could be of more importance.

I agree with Clanker, change the key back to C and just use accidentals. C is tonic.

Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking.

No problem! And I agree, hence my decision to change it; it always worries me when I see an older sheet with a bunch of flats or sharps, but in C Major. I generally assume that the previous arranger didn't put in the proper Key Sig due to laziness.

Fixed!

Any Updaters wanna review some songs?

I decided to do Treasure Trove Cove from scratch:

All the songs are now done!
