Dahans' arrangements: Christmas Surprise 2014

Ending theme:
[MUS] www.mediafire.com/download.php?dz7voaa1vswtdpz

Please tell me honestly: Are my arrangements becoming more and more boring and unemotional? I think so :/. I try to make them as accurate as possible, but they aren't no longer in dahans style.

[SlowPokemon]

Well, I don't know about that, but I just noticed something.

I request the end credits from Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, which has a set ending, and you make it repeat. I request the end credits from Super Mario Bros. 3, which repeats with no definite ending, and you write your own ending. That's kind of strange! xD

[dahans]

Well... I am strange^^ xD.

[Jub3r7]

We're all strange. Including that Strange Boy over there. And this mysterious kid over here.

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a medley for orchestra with christmasey arrangements. Between these arrangements you will find little bridges called ouvertures! I have composed them myself ! Merry Christmas everyone! (and EVERYONE MUST LISTEN TO IT!)

How much free time do you have, that is unbelieveble, very good job! Can I make some suggestions about the medley?

1. If you quote other composers, be sure to quote their names also, or even better, make a quotation list with the measures at the beginning so you don't have to write the quotes into the score, I do that when I compose.
2. In the prestissimo part m. 202 and so on, the pizzicato will exhaust the string players, or even break their fingers I guess, it's better you write presto possible (so schnell wie möglich). The same is with the prestississississimo part, that is very hard to pronounce, too.
3. Fortississississimo is rarely used, you can use it, but I'd prefer ff marcato or marcatissimo.

Besides this, thank you veeery much for that, now I can't wait for christmas anymore!

[dahans]

xDD I knew that somebody would complain that I have too much free time xDDD.

1. Yeah you're absolutely right.
2. I know xD. But since this piece will never be performed by a real orchestra, I thought it wouldn't be a problem. But basically, you're right it's unplayable.
3. The prestissisississimo was just a joke xD. Presto possible sounds much better^^.

No problem! I am glad that you liked it!

[SlowPokemon]

It's awesome! I am having trouble recognizing the songs in there though! xD

[IAmYou]

I like the christmas arrangement! A few little nitpicky things though

1. Is there a difference between glockenspiel and bells? 'Cause just one of them could play both parts just fine.

2. Sixteenth notes on tubular bells? Yikes. I'd hate to be attempting that.

3. I'm not sure they make tubular bells that have the range you wrote. I've only ever seen them from C4 to F5.

4. Some of those flute parts are pretty low. It could be pretty hard to here them there. Also, The part that contains the C7 (132 to 148) would be easier and would probably sound better on piccolo.

[dahans]

Thanks IAmYoU! This arrangement isn't supposed to be played by an real orchestra. Thus there's no piccolo flute. Same with Tubular bells. And to be honest, I don't know if there's a difference between glockenspiel and bells. I picked them, because I thought they would fit. xD (glockenspiel is german which means "bell game", probably it's the same!)

@Slow: What was the problem? Didn't you recognise slateport city or the snowpark theme of MK64? :/

[Winter]

hehe i really enjoyed the MK64 theme, well done

[Winter]

Another thing: Finale is now not responding (big file)

It's continuing to play music, but not showing the sheets :p

and omg there's partridge in a pear tree XD

[Taser9090]

Well done

Let's see I can recognize these...
Slateport
Paper Mario, possibly?
Sherbet Island (N64)
Christmas Carols

Thanks for the present to all of us NSM users

[Korados]

I don't know if there's a difference between glockenspiel and bells.

You can't be serious?! There is a HUGE difference: The size!
