I could attempt to write something like that out for a string quarted, but im not shure how well it will turn out. I need to know what instruments it's for though.

For those of you who can't solve problems: THE SHEET MUSIC IS IN PAGE 2

The zelda strings quartet i should be able to get to u to some extent. it wont be pefect but it will sound cool. A problem is I will have to do each song sepereate due to key signature changes and time signature changes. If you want you can have them lead into each other as you play though.
Also i have orchestrated the mario them in finale so I could probably do an orchestral version of zelda too.

Heres the mario theme for my concert band. Im sorry if some instruments aren't there. If u need any to be added just tell me. It should only take a second or two. By the way, can u give me a list of all the instruments that would be in your higschool orchestra? One last thing, It has come to my attention that in the program i use i can only fit 8 instruments, but i have wirrten out the mario theme on individual sheets for each instrument. So the file i attachted is basically a sample of what it would sound like from my concert band.

Mikame
August 10th, 2007, 04:38 pm
Okay well.. theres Violin..(Violin2) Viola.. Base.. Cello.. Piano.. hmm.. i think theres bells too..oh! and drums.. and thats pretty much it ^^

but umm.. so wait.. if you make it for mine it would be in that format? the one of the mario one you sent me? with all the parts on one sheet? or each instrument parts on seperate sheets..

Anonymousmusiclover
August 11th, 2007, 07:42 pm
ok Im confused, I need list of all the instruments in your orchestra to write it out. The format that i will write it out in will not be like the one i sent you, like i said that is a sample, would you like all the instrumental pieces for the mario theme?
And im sorry but this will take a while to do, I will not be here for a week as i am going camping and will not have acess to a computer.

Mikame
August 13th, 2007, 04:31 am

Violin Viola Base Cello and Piano o.o; thats what you wanna know right?

yeah, sorry about that, the day I got home from camping my friend invited me to his house, so i couldn't work on them. Ok though, I will try my best to get them as accurate as possible seeing as I still havent got a reply from the video poster on tube. I only have one question. You see im not familiar with the bass instrument you mentioned, theres a lack of music theory for you, is another name for it the contrabass?






DONE THE FIRST PART!!!!! .......its on page 2

Mikame
August 22nd, 2007, 06:34 pm
err yeah im sort of a n00b.. sorry i really dont know what a contrabass is XD i think i may have done a typo XDD but i mean Bass.. as in the huge ass violin XD

Anonymousmusiclover
August 22nd, 2007, 06:57 pm
ok I think i get it, i would know but i dont have strings in my music class so its a bit of a problem. I only have four strings instruments to pick from so a contrabass must be bass. Ok ill get to work on the first song then!

August 22nd, 2007, 08:43 pm
Here they are. I have also given you a file that will play all the instruments together so u can hear what it will sound like!

Ok here is a list of ways to print something in finale. You do not have to change the file to a jpeg image or a pdf. You can print sheets directly off finale. There should be a printer picture at the top left corner on the screen. If not then you must have not enabled the file utilites pallet. To do this click on window at the top of finale and enable the file utilities pallet. From window you can also turn on other options to make writing music easier. If you can't get the printer to work tyr this. Go to file at the top left corner of the screen and click print. If this still doesn't work then you have even another option. Hit and hold down control. On your keyboard it is right below shift on either side, spelt (Ctrl). While holding down control press p and it should come up with a printer menu. You should be able to print from there. And if that does not work I have one las trick up my sleave that may help. I will try my hardest to make it a pdf file through like 10 different steps. But first try to print it.

OK here are the songs for those of you who do not have finale. I still recommend that you download finale so that you can hear what they sound like.
*Major and unforeseen problem.*
The file type I have transfered them into is microsoft word. It is the only file type I know how to translate them into for now. However these files are too large to upload under a microsoft word file. The max file size for a microsoft word file is 19kb. These files are 270kb. The only way I can send them to you is buy E-mailing you. If you want them you can ask for them here.

Sylvesterad@gmail.com


*Note*
To save you time dont click on this e-mail just type it in to your sendind adress, also I will try to figure out how to trasnfer these to adobe for those who don't have microsoft.

No problem, I am unable to do the 3rd song in the strings quaartet bad news..:( It is found between the times of 1:50 and 2:30 on the video link you posted. My friend and i are working on a solution to this problem. Is it ok if i can't get that to you? I will still try my hardest to get it so I probably will find a way. Im 95% percent sure that i can get it too you eventually but I will need help from my friend so it may take a couple weeks before I can start it. In the meantime though I have skipped ahead to song # 4! It starts at 2:30 and continues onto 3:00. It is a favourite among those who have followed legend of zelda. Here it is the palace theme from the adventure of link! (written out like all the others)

After this it's on too Koji Kondo's famous compostion, "Zeldas Lullaby"

Im am really sorry for the huge delay scince my last reply, I am in the midst of moving so I havent really had time to work on the music. On top of that I have joined the senior concert band at my school, and the junior symphony orchestra in my town. So i have a lot piled up for the next while. Good news though, My friend and I have discovered a sloution to our problem with the other songs. I dont know how well they'll turn out. These songs are a little more complex then the other songs.

x_x I can't howeverat the moment do that. I have no idea how.
But I can guarantee you that you can open the music file with finale. Its a free music notation program and it allows you to open music files and listen to them. Here is the link http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/default.aspx

ok this one was strange. Number 9 is called Ballad of the Windfish and is from loz links awakening. It is a beautiful peice and I have been waiting to do this one for a while. Anyways I didn't make a part for the viola or the bass. This one is a duet for a violin and cello. It's not perfect but it still sounds great. If I added the viola and cello into this it would take away from the sad and lonely sound that it has in the youtube video. Btw only one short piece after this and I start working on the ones I skipped over.<_<

I have been searching, originally, for a Legend of Zelda Medley, from the Hyrule Symphony soundtrack, for the full string orchestra. And my search has been a failure to this point. So i decided that i could hopefully create my own medley from parts i find from Zelda Orcarina of Time. And so far i only have two songs, although one doesnt even include a string bass part.
I'm hoping, that someone here could help me. My conductor/teacher said if i found the music we could play it for our Senior concert, seniors pick it is, and i'm not doing too well.

Can someone please help? Danke Schon

i could give you but i don't upload in pdf, because too many files, it's faster in zip you can take my e-mail.
Just a little note, i've seen the vidéo and i seen there aren't contrabass, just two violin, one viola and one cello. or maybe three violins or one vilin and two viola or three viola

The quartet on the video haven't got a Contrebass.
It just have a Cello, two violin (i think) and one Viola.
And i've the feeling the vidéo is longer than the music sheet.

But th music sheet is so very good anyway.

Woah! I have spent eons surfing the internet for these pieces! You guys are like GODS!!! I'm gonna see if my teacher can form this into one huge medley of zelda themes that we can play. Thank you a million times over, Anonymous.

BTW do you have any other pieces (I wouldnt know becuase Im obviously extremely new to this site)

I'm working on the largest epic Zelda medley ever created. After I finish it, I'll arrange it for piano, quartets, various brass and woodwind instruments, and small ensembles upon request; excluding very large ensembles (too much work).

It'll make you go :eek: You'll need to wait another year or so until Spirit Tracks is released for Nintendo DS so I can get that in my medley as well.

Cellist49
April 12th, 2009, 05:55 pm
That sounds great! I think i would need an arrangement for a smaller ensemble at the moment. Our class only has one bass, two cellos, two or three violas, and two or three violins. I may be able to rope in some more musicians, so please keep me updated on your progress!

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, I hate to be a buzz kill, but a string quartet is 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello. There's no bass involved.

It'd probably be best to make a new thread. That being said, I'd suggest Googling a piano solo arrangement and just playing the right-hand line when the melody starts. Should work just fine

Also, a word of advice to everyone – Look at post dates. B)
