Deciding the Next Official Arrangement Project 3(?)

[Latios212]

I will take the following:
- Grandpa's House (already done)
- Outset Island (solo)
- The Legendary Hero (solo)

[Sebastian]

Here is the first:

[GCN] The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Hyrule Castle

I'll also be taking these:
Disc 1:
02) Main Select
05) Inside a House
07) Fencing Instruction
20) Forsaken Fortress Invasion 1
23) Imprisonment
26) Rendezvous With the Ship 2
27) Rendezvous With the Ship 3
60) Forbidden Woods
65) The Great Sea is Cursed
73) To Hyrule
Disc 2:
01) Sealed Hyrule Castle

[Static]

I'd like to take "Inside the Pirate Ship", "The Forest of Outset Island", and "Game Over" for now. I may ask for more in the future, but these are ones I'd definitely like to claim.

[nutella511]

Perfect timing. I'd like to claim Makar's Prayer, Staff Credits, and Princess Zelda's Theme. Also, Dragon Roost Island is already on site.

[The Deku Trombonist]

Yay, Wind Waker. Feedback, here we come.

Hyrule Castle:
- Perhaps write the opening line as a cadenza? I know it is in time in the original, but that's not how it 'feels' when listening to it. Well, for me anyway. Do whatever.
- Any reason you didn't include the bass note on beat one of bar 6 and every 2 bars after? It punctuates it nicely, adds weight (it's not like it's a happy tune) and breaks things up. And it's not like the chord has to be there on beat one, there are still 3 beats left in the bar to hammer out D minor.
- Bar 7: E flats, not D Sharps (they want to resolve down to the tonic). Also, G natural in the chords on beats 3 & 4 of the LH, not F sharp. And I'm not sure why there's a quaver triplet rest in the 3rd beat, it sounds quite smooth and connected to me.
- Bars 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Same thing.
- Bars 16 & 20: There are 3 beats of rests missing in the RH.
- Respell the Ab in bar 21 as G# (chromatic neighbor note).
- The LH of bar 29 would be clearer in two layers. (Whole note A & E, and then use the other layer for D-> C#).

The staves on page 2 are bigger than the ones on page 1. I think here I would normally inquire as to why you'd reduce the staff size when using my template which contains an already reduced staff size, but that would be beating a dead horse and I don't really care. Just be consistent, whatever it is you're going to do.

[Sebastian]

YES, Deku!

- Perhaps write the opening line as a cadenza? I know it is in time in the original, but that's not how it 'feels' when listening to it. Well, for me anyway. Do whatever.

I could do that. I mainly left it this way because, as you said, it's in time.
It's not quite as punctual as the rest of the song though, so I could put a 'feely' marking at the beginning. In my opinion, I don't believe this section constitutes a cadenza.
I normally use cadenzas if the introduction or another section of a piece is really wild or dissonant. For example:
http://www.ninsheetmusic.org/download/pdf/100

- Any reason you didn't include the bass note on beat one of bar 6 and every 2 bars after? It punctuates it nicely, adds weight (it's not like it's a happy tune) and breaks things up. And it's not like the chord has to be there on beat one, there are still 3 beats left in the bar to hammer out D minor.

I left it out to avoid the hassle of jumping around, but I like what you said about adding weight since it's not a happy tune. I think this will enhance the piece! Fixed.

- Bar 7: E flats, not D Sharps (they want to resolve down to the tonic). Also, G natural in the chords on beats 3 & 4 of the LH, not F
And I'm not sure why there's a quaver triplet rest in the 3rd beat, it sounds quite smooth and connected to me.
- Bars 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Same thing.

Aye, my bad. Fixed.

- Bars 16 & 20: There are 3 beats of rests missing in the RH.

Hmmm, very weird. Must've been an export issue. Finale usually auto-inputs rests. Fixed.

- Respell the Ab in bar 21 as G# (chromatic neighbor note).

Oh, ok. I was going by the D diminished, but that works better. Fixed.
Curious, is this similar to the reason we use C/Eb/F# in C Minor key instead of the diminished (C/Eb/Gb)? These chord variants always seem to trip me up, even when I think I use the correct chords/get them right.

- The LH of bar 29 would be clearer in two layers. (Whole note A & E, and then use the other layer for D-> C#).

Sounds good to me! This should help the performer far better than the previous notation of this measure. Fixed.

The staves on page 2 are bigger than the ones on page 1. I think here I would normally inquire as to why you'd reduce the staff size when using my template which contains an already reduced staff size, but that would be beating a dead horse and I don't really care. Just be consistent, whatever it is you're going to do.

Oh, crap. That must've been a glitch on my end. This is a roughly new template that I've been using for my sheets (I got this template from a previous arrangement project [Latios/Ben said it was a Deku template if I recall correctly]) and the last sheet I arranged consisted of one page at 90%. I simply forgot to blow it back up and the second page was a different size. That was my bad. I'll go ahead and blow both pages back up to 100% and respace the measures/systems.
I just wanted to clarify that I didn't intend to minimize the size purposely.

Here is the file with the changes (I fixed everything you pointed out except for the cadenza. I did, however, include a 'freely' expression text at the first measure and then an 'a tempo' expression text when the introduction transitions into the melody):

Thanks for the feedback, Deku! Just like old times. : )

[Lkjhgfdsa_77]

I'm glad that Wind Waker was chosen. Wind Waker was one if the first Zelda games that I played and it really means a lot me. I'll take Inside Forest Haven for now.

[Latios212]

Updated with everything said above!

... Staff Credits ...

That's one heck of an undertaking. Are you sure?

-The first system is indented, but there is no "Piano" text. Add that in.
-The composer for this one is Koji Kondo. Kenta Nagata is the arranger (I guess you could include them both, but Kondo is the big one).

[Olimar12345]

Double post: Since I already have a few of these done,  I'll claim the remaining baton songs:
48 Wind's Requiem (Baton)
49 Wind's Requiem
54 Song of Passing (Baton)
55 Song of Passing
70 Command Melody (Baton)
18 Ballad of Gales (Baton)

Aye. Fixed.

-The composer for this one is Koji Kondo. Kenta Nagata is the arranger (I guess you could include them both, but Kondo is the big one).

Ah, makes sense. I'll put in both of them.

I also fixed the name on the file.
