Arrangement Contest No. 5 - Brainstorming Topic

[FireArrow]

So if I took a song, arranged it into a short waltz, 2 part invention, and smooth jazz or something, then played them consecutively, would that be legal? (Extreme example, but w/e.)

[MaestroUGC]

That's pretty much exactly what you could/would do in such a contest.

[FireArrow]

Ok yay, thanks for clarification, I thought it would be a lot more restrictive.

fugues are still better though

[MaestroUGC]

Well it seems to me the Theme and Variations has to most traction at the moment, it's a very open idea and I think it will yield some great interpretations.

I'd also be interested in the other ideas, March and Baroque. Of course those both can be wrapped into the above, that way everyone's happy.

[MaestroUGC]

So what's the verdict, you people in or out?

[FierceDeity]

Just saw this, theme and variations sounds cool, and it's my favorite idea of the ones presented. Baroque and march both sound doable, but they seem like they'd have relatively limited results. And fugue just sounds way too exclusive.

[Bloop]

Same about theme and variations. No one's against it, it seems

[CLBGM]

Yup. Let's do it guys.

[MaestroUGC]

Well then all we need know is someone willing to host it this time around. Any volunteers as head Judge?

Ahem. I mean I'd do it, but I don't want to.

[FierceDeity]

So, we doin this, or what

[MaestroUGC]

Yeah, I might as well host it, after giving it some thought.

I'll post the sign-up later tonight.
