RuneScape Main Theme Arranged for Concert Band

RuneScape Main Theme Arranged for Concert Band

I have RuneScape gold spent a great deal of time working on this arrangement of the theme music from RuneScape. I tried to make the score look as professional as you can, so I'd like feedback on it - especially in those of you who are great with engraving or know the songs. Watch video description for more detals - but I want to preface by recognizing that there is a lot of information for the layman.

Overall it done, in my estimation. I don't know the first, but it appears to capture the soul of an adventure type of theme. The combination doesn't do justice to what it seem to be, I think. E.g., on occasion a theme is not as prominent on your mix as what it'll be in an actual ring. The figures tend to overshadow the melodic lines.

Here's a few comments: Quite a few, if any, higher school bands will have a harpist, and I doubt will be capable of everything you have written if they do. (A school wind ensemble is a different thing, however.) Chromatic audio and quick modifications to chromatic notes are very difficult for harpists, perhaps even impossible. It'll have to be covered by a pianist. You find an impression and might demonstrate the part.

Those high As from the first trumpet part (mm. 10ff) will not be as soft as they are in your mix--especially if performed with younger players! And is there a divisi at the initial trumpets at that same point? I would not set the euphonium on the very low Gs; that is near the bottom of their range! Maybe Trombone 3 instead (or even a bass trombone)? Overall you've got a very good feel for their own skills and the instrument ranges, I'm a team manager and did quite of bit of arranging back, so I understand the effort that went into your own work. Keep up the good work!

Really cool! I was thinking initially, because it's arrayed for concert band, that is a very long time that the voices aren't being used. But I was wrong it was a Shade when the flutes and voices that are top came in! Should you have a group ever play this as opposed to just running it through a DAW and samples, then I wonder how the harp would sound. So some of it won't be as loud, so doubling in voices which aren't being used or flutes Many regions are thick with elephants?

I am not sure how other composers do this or whatnot. I think bc it is for band and not orchestra it surprised me how much voices functioned collectively. But loved the timbre of every voice that was utilized as you kept going together! You're probably right that the harp wouldn't be as notable as it is in my arrangement but I did attempt to keep as close to the original as I could. Perhaps in the event that you place the harpist up front lol. I did picture this group being for a wind ensemble - which is, one player buy RS gold per part. Can decorate the noise up. But it certainly could use reworking, I was so eager to post it lol.
