I'm working on a big project putting well known video game medleys together in one large hefty arrangement for a big orchestra. Listen to my incomplete mp3 arrangement.

What I have so far (the brackets are themes on top of the main theme playing at the same time):

Super Mario Bros.- Main theme [Underworld SMB]
Super Mario World - Overworld [SMB Main theme and Underwater SMB]
Super Mario Bros. - Underwater [Overworld SMW and a bit of the sun song from the legend of zelda]
Super Mario World - Credits

Yoshi's Island - Athletic Rag will come after Credits

Note: Subject to change

Wanna help? Just request your favorite song. The rule is that it has to sound good for an orchestra. Not a rock band. If there are songs you know that are similar, then suggest a theme. I may be able to overlap them together, or it can transition very nicely. When suggesting a theme, please include every variations of that song if possible. ei. there are hundreds of Super Mario Bros. main theme songs, all sounding slightly/totally different. Again, it would Really help if you can find similarities between different songs or suggest how to combine themes.
Edit: Second rule is that you must provide me a suggestion on 2 conditions. 1. You know 1 or more songs that can transition nicely into your own picked favorite song or 2. you know a song that can overlap nicely with your picked favorite. Do NOT suggest a standalone song. If I have no idea what to do with it, then it may end up in the recycling bin.

I also am hiring arrangers to do there part in arranging for orchestra. Must have some knowledge in music theory if attempting to combine themes.

I would love to help. If you could do any of the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (it came from a game if that counts...) together, it would sound terrific. If not, then Crisis Core music would be awesome. I Love people who do stuff like this! I play viola and cello and sometimes, you just can't find orchestrated pieces.

How can I afford not to add FF lol (there are also other game titles I'm going to include). But the question is which FF should I include. I don't own a playstation, though I do listen to some of the music. Don't worry, for cellists and violists, you'll be getting special parts as well (though not all). No more being the accomp and the backup people that provide the violinists support. Don't want the violinists to suck up all the glory do we?

Right now I'm busy. Until I finish up with college, I can continue this project for one month.
