I've spent a RuneScape gold great deal of time the past couple weeks working on this arrangement of the main theme music from RuneScape. I tried to make the score look as professional as possible, and so I'd like feedback on it - especially from those of you that are good with engraving or know that the music. See description for more detals - but I want to preface by acknowledging that there is a good deal of info for the layman.
Overall it's well done, in my opinion. I don't know the first, but it appears to capture the soul of an adventure type of theme. The combination does not do justice to what it'll actually sound like, I think. E.g., on occasion a theme is not as prominent on your mix as what it'll be in an actual band. The corresponding figures often overshadow the lines.
Here's a few quick comments: Quite a few, if any, high school bands will have a harpist, and I doubt will be effective at everything you've written when they do. Changes that are fast and audio to notes are very hard to get harpists, maybe even impossible. No doubt it'll have to be coated by a pianist. You might show a harpist the component and find an opinion on the part's playability.
10ff) won't be as gentle as they are on your combination --especially if played by younger players! And is there a divisi at the trumpets at the exact point? I wouldn't set the euphonium on the very low Gs; that is near the very bottom of the range! Perhaps Trombone 3 rather (or even a bass trombone)? Overall you have an excellent feel for their abilities and the instrument ranges, I'm a former band director and also did quite a lot of arranging many decades back, so I understand. Keep the fantastic work up!
Really cool! I thought initially, as it's arrayed for concert band, that's a long time. However, I was wrong it was a Shade once upper voices and the flutes came in! If you do have a group ever play this instead of simply running it via a DAW and samples, I wonder how the harp will sound. So some of it will not be loud, so doubling in voices that are not being used or flutes, some regions are thick with elephants?
I'm not sure how other composers do this or whatnot. I think bc it's not and for band orchestra it surprised me just how much certain voices functioned. But loved the timbre of every voice that was utilized because you kept going along! I did attempt to stay as near the original as I could although you're likely right that the harp wouldn't be as notable as it is in my order. Lol, if you place the harpist up front. I did picture this group for a wind ensemble - that is, 1 player per part. Would soften the noise up. But it could use reworking, I was just so eager to post it lol.
What is cheap School RS Gold the thing you have completed on Runescape?
