Song: Rakuen Secret Garden
Instrument: Orchestra
Anime: Wolf's Rain
Artist: Yoko Kanno
Album: Wolf's Rain OST

Okay, so here's the challenge:

I want an orchestral transcription of the song Rakuen Secret Garden by Yoko Kanno. I know it is a hard song to arrange, but that is the challenge of it. I would be willing to trade a transcription of something else if someone is wanting some compensation for this epic task. Good luck!

Do you have musicians who are going to perform it? Or are you just going to look at the score and listen to the music? What university are you from?

Btw, trading some other transcription is really not an incentive for an arranger/transcriber.

Oh, I am just interested in looking at the score and listening to the music. I really like this song and want to see it on paper. I am from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Oh, sorry about the transcription incentive. This is one of my first times on a music related forum so I'm a little new at this, but I've been in the music business for years. I honestly just do not have the ear to transcribe orchestra yet. I am really good at transcribing for piano though.

Would be very hard for most of us because we can't reproduce that high quality sound to check our work. The vaguely polyphonic parts wouldn't be too difficult because it's easy to discern one group of strings from the other, but the homophonic parts would be crazy hard because it all sounds like one big swell and it's hard to tell which string is playing which note...let alone discerning each individual note.
