MaestroUGC's Virtuoso Submissions *Nihil*

[Korados]

Slow- Just because he's whiny doesn't give you an excuse to be bitchy. Just sayin'

After that, this forum is for discussing music, if you'd please. Argue somewhere else, thank you.

[SlowPokemon]

Sorry guys. bad mood.

[MaestroUGC]

No, I haven't quit; life just got in the way. However, I can now focus more on arranging until after the new year.

Also, Pikmin has some pretty ambient music, so translating that to piano is a long process that requires a great ammount of attention to detail.

He probably switched to 2011.

I think we should ALL switch to 2011. then we can keep up with each other, do we all have 10 dollars?

[Olimar12345]

im gonna upgrade on thursday-itll be $35 for printmusic.

[Maretocks]

I just got Finale Notepad '11 (WINK) for those interested.

The Yoshi's Island Map link isn't working for me, it just continues displaying: "Processing download request"

The Sloprano's Opera sounds great. ^_^ So many memories...*sheds tear*

[MaestroUGC]

So...about Pikmin.

I simply don't want to work on it anymore. I do, however, short arrangements of the following tracks:
Impact Site
Forest of Hope
Night Comes
End of Day Report
Map Screen

What I'm going to do is expand on these and publish them on here as a shorter medley. This will take some additional time, but since I have a solid ground for each of these I can finish it by Monday.

Once I finish this, I will work on DK64 for release on Christmas.

Again, I apologize for this unwanted delay.

P.S. I will redo many of my arrangments over time, most likely somtime this coming summer.

[PianoMan]

These blew my mind. Especially Windmill Hut and SMW Ending Theme. I have a soft spot for those songs. Airship Theme rocked my socks, though I doubt it's humanly possible to pay a fortissississimo. Have you ever thought of doing Song of Healing?

[Sekter77]

That's ok. Any kinds of Pikmin arrangements are great by me. And a DK64 arrangement also sounds really awesome! Don't worry about the delay; I'm just glad to hear it's being done. Thanks!

[GCN] Pikmin-"Medley"-MaestroUGC MUS MID PDF

Well...here it is.

Up next:
Donkey Kong 64-Medley

My Finals are finished after tomorrow, so that means I have an entire month to finish it. Since I have finished all of my non-arrangment projects, I have no other distractions.

[Olimar12345]

can i offer some constructive criticism?

-measures 158-160 are kind of... empty-you could probably do away with one or two.
-measure 190 has a trill with octaves-this seems kinda impossible 
-the "G" in measures 6 and 8 are written to be played with both hands... i think just one would be fine 
-at 92 when the melody i the map theme, the bass doesnt repeat the "F" again before the "C" in the original song (maybe u already knew this? idk)
-the red notes at 177and 207 are impossible to play with the other stuff goin on...
-the ending. i didnt really feel like you were done with the song at that point(it actually cought me by supprise) -but u did seem like you were tired of working on it so watevrr

overall fantastic job!

[MaestroUGC]

1) I wanted the piano to decay without the performer choosing to continue at his leisure. Artistic preference.
2) Trill the top note, I still want the bottom note to be played.
3) The right hand clef is 8va, meaning no overlap.
4) I chose to do that to give it more bounce.
5) They can be played, I've played them, it just requires playing the notes in the red line with both hands while maintaining their repective parts. For example, at m. 177 the right hand plays the grace note before it plays the octave Gs with the bass Ab below it. It stays supended until the second octave is hit in the right hand, which it will then play out the rest of the triplet.
6) Yes, I just wanted to end it. I may go back and revise it...but that will most likely never happen.

Thanks for the criticism and compliments.

Could it be that the MUS is broken, when I click on play on Finale 2011, Vista says: Finale 2011 doesn't work anymore. 

[Olimar12345]

1) Ah
2) Ah
3) Ah (over looked that one )
4) ok i see
5) ok, i just meat it was impossible to sustain a low Ab1 and "G"s 3 4 and 5.
6) ok well it would be a great piece when completed-if u get some free time u should definatly take advantage of it

I had the same problem, but it plays ok in Finale 2010.
