Go Starwind!!!!! *cheers*

Err... Anyone Else?

I'll still help to the best of my ability =)

I would luff to do that&#33; :D <3 I&#39;d be glad to do the flute part. ~_~ I&#39;ll even buy a mic for it&#33;

Alas, I am but a newb, stumbled too late upon a really cool project. :( I would offer my assistance, but it looks like you guys have it all together, so I offer my congradulations instead.

Although, I did happen to see that your violinist says that they play "badly"... if you still happen to need help... well, violin is my major and stuff.

&#39;Tis not to late to join the project ^_^

I&#39;ll would like to participate if you have a spare room for another clarinet that is...

If you need me I&#39;ll do whatever is necessary. You just have to tell me what to do. ^_^

I can still help to the best of my ability, I&#39;m just confused on what each should do....?

>.<

anyone know how to save mus files as PDFs?

You could just use JPG.

well anything really for those who dont have finale. how do you save as jpg?

I used to screencap mine - long and laborious >.< PM Josh, he&#39;ll convert to PDF for you :)

If everyone is really as good as they say they are on this forum, I&#39;m not needed. I don&#39;t have a microphone either so I prob can&#39;t do it anyway :heh:

I can still do it, and would love to offer my help, but...I don`t return to America until around August 11th or so. Then I can get on my desktop computer and use my microphone.

OK, well i sent the files to sinbois for PDFing. We should be ready real soon. But it kinda looks like everyone who was here six months ago *cough* forgot about this lol...

you&#39;ll post the finished version on the site then?

what song is it?

one of Noir7&#39;s compositions, manoshikan mist.


heres the score for anyone who wants to get an idea of how it goes, the individual parts and everything should be ready soon...

i play violin, and am fluent with vibrato, i&#39;d be glad to assist.

i think that this is a wonderful idea, and would be glad to help if you need me&#33;&#33;

Hmm I thought it was going to be a complex song. I&#39;m quite glad it isn&#39;t. Ergh, sucks that I can&#39;t record anything for you guys, sorry.

Is it too late for a humble Australian Clarinetist/Bass Clarinetist/Singer to join in the mix? I got 8 years experience on the clarinet if that helps...

EDIT: I&#39;m a fast learner. I know a little basic guitar, and I&#39;m ok at Tenor Sax, if needed :D plus piano and keyboard (please don&#39;t hit me, i&#39;m not an over achiever :DD)

I&#39;m still up for it :D Just gotta find a microphone in all the boxes lying around the house XD

I hope this gets off the ground, it&#39;d be really cool to hear the finished version

i really hope this works as well, i have recording equitment, but i don&#39;t know how to use it lol (don&#39;t ask) if someone could talk me through how to use it, and send me the file, i could record it together

ok... so hostultra wont host mus files...

*on a quest to find another host*

hey i was wondering if i could still join the project as i stumbled on a bit too late :sweatdrop:
I play flute and i guess im good at ti im nto the one to judge myself
and do you have a pdf file of the song cause i dont have finale
i have a mike though

EDIT- nvm downloaded demo of finale can i use that instead of buying it?
i also downloaded the score and listened to it soudns nice
played the flute part too

What&#39;s with all the late replies? Have in mind that Starwind arranged this for a very long time, and it takes up alot of concentration and time to make it good.

@Starwind: Just zip the .mus file. Most hosts accepts .zip files.

Just a note, guys, when you&#39;re doing your recordings, please make it easier for me by following this labelling system when saving your files for upload:

YourUsernameYourInstrumentSectionNumber

YourUsername - Your Forum username

YourInstrument - The instrument you play, and whether you&#39;re playing the first/second/third part, ie FirstViolin, SecondTrumpet etc.

SectionNumber - If you have a rest in your part that is more than TWO BARS LONG, please stop recording at this point and make a new recording for the next passage. So say you have a passage that you play, and then a three bar rest before you next play, please record the first passage and name that SectionOne, then record the passage after the rest as Section Two etc. It just makes it easier for me to assemble the piece, as some people have problems with timing when they&#39;re working without other instruments to lead the time, and so may come in too early or too late if just recording the piece straight off. If you only have one passage in the whole piece, that&#39;s fine, just name it SectionOne - it just allows all the files on my computer to order themselves nicely so I don&#39;t lose anybody&#39;s passages.

So when you save your recording, save it using the name style above (minus the color tags obviously) - so when you upload your piece for me to download for mixing, it&#39;ll be something like:

madmazda86FirstViolinSectionOne.mp3

Please upload as mp3 or wav only&#33; Thankyou :D

NOTE: When I&#39;m mixing the piece, I will select the BEST QUALITY recordings - this means the ones with minimum distortion/hiss/mistakes etc. This means your recording may not necessarily be used in the piece, but bear in mind that for every person who contributes a recording it gives me more instrumental samples to select from, and in this way you are helping the final effort&#33; Full credit will be given to all musicians whose performances appear in the final recording :)

ok, so can i be part of this or not? i don&#39;t really mid either way, i just don&#39;t think there are that many bass clarinetists out there. i&#39;ll record it and put it up anyway. feel free to use it or not

Ok, showtime guys.

Have fun Guys

none of the links work...

EDIT: disregard&#33; working now for some reason&#33;

thye dont work for me.... :P

hmm, try again, then again, then again. for some odd reason, they just started working with me, and i have no idea why. Starwind, any ideas why?

tried about 50 times litterally ill try again tommorow

T___________T

*looks into it*

hopefully it&#39;ll all work out. i got my part and the mp3 player records well, so i&#39;ll have the part in the next couple of days. btw, where do we upload the mp3&#39;s to? our own server or is there one supplied?

EDIT: Here is the 1st part of mine. Its small, so its easy to put on here. I apologise in advance for the double post

The second part. I wish that the forums supported multiple file attachments...

Good job&#33; I&#39;m gonna pike the main score and steal the violin part off that XD Starwind, if you&#39;re having trouble getting hosting space Gand might be able to help out?

Welp, sent him a pm. *prays for the best*

...*and for maz&#39;s influential powers as a wife to kick in anytime*

Awww, he&#39;s a nice guy and he did say he had plenty of space, and it&#39;s not like they&#39;re that big&#33; Failing that you could try Znail, which allows you to upload files and download them later... :think:

I had a shot at the violin part and I sound crappity crap X_X Glad there&#39;s lots of other violinists taking part in this&#33;

I don&#39;t have a piano anymore ._. I have a dinky keyboard =P don&#39;t think I can help with recording anymore, but I can help maz with the sound mixing if she wants =)

Starwind, you could either 1) zip everything up into 1 zip file and attach it to a post or 2) zip it up and email it to me and I coudl host it

Yay, the WebGod to the rescue :D

They&#39;re not working for me.

Unless by some reason I haven&#39;t seen yet can someone put the percussion and bassoon parts into pdf for me so I don&#39;t have to dowload Finale? Please? I have Noteworthy, and from what I know they can&#39;t display .mus files.

Sondagger, I&#39;ll put it into noteworthy for you if I can figure out how to do the notation...

ok here we go then

MUS Files

Ooo... thank you maz&#33;

PDFs

and of course, the MID ^^

I should have it ready for you tomorrow, Sondagger :) I&#39;ll email it your way ^_^

Thanks for putting this together Starwind, and everyone else who&#39;s going to participate ^_^

Do you want the title to this topic to be changed? To get more attention for those who just slumber pass it?

or mabye the description. make it like "we are playing&#33; come on in&#33;" or something. but i agree with changing the topic title as well

Erm.. Starwind, your pdf zip file is empty. I just tried unzipping it and it wouldn&#39;t because it said its empty

hmm, i just tried it out and it works for me...

anyone else having sondaggers problem?

It worked fine for me as well.

.pdf one is empty for me too

EDIT: and the .mus ones as well :(

They all work for me.. maybe your WinZIP is screwed?

*pins thread*

My winzip works fine for everyother zip file that I&#39;ve run through it.

same here. i&#39;ll see about downloading it again

i have an idea, because it didn&#39;t download again for me. those who actually were able to download the parts, could you attach them to a post? also, exteacting each part from the midi would work

EDIT: sorry about the double post, it was an honest mistake&#33;

This may be a little late (dont have time to read the whole thread) but i play trumpet and alto sax, but im best on the trumpet.

hope i can get in&#33; i love to play musix&#33; :D

I think you&#39;re too late mate.

I'll see if I can figure summat out... regarding the empty mus/pdf file problems :)

Ah I havent been here in a long while...may I still be of any use?

do i need to re-post what i recorded, or will it be fine?

I've already got it, so no worries ^_^

alright. does anyone actually have the music other than Starwind? if so, could they possibly post it. i'd attach what i have, but i doubt that anyone wants the bass clarinet part

Tadaaaa - I suck at Finale so I can't chuck 'em into individual files, only Noteworthy Composer.

Wow, I haven't been here in a while. Sorry about that!

And I'm really afraid that I don't know how to get the files to you... my computer records WAV files, and I can't get them to go anywhere... :unsure:


Edit: The links don't work for me either, although I thought the score might. I can't get to the violin part.

*sigh* why do these links only work for me?

I dunno... you're lucky, though.

Hey, what if you saved the score in an image format and either attatched it to a post or like pmed it to someone or something? I confess that I know nothing at all about computers, so I don't know if it would work, but I want to be able to play it...

hmm, i'll see what i can do

hmm, did the links dissappear when the forum moved to vBulliten? i cant even see them now... can anyone else still even see them or should i reattach them?

i'd re-attach them. we lost all of the attachments in the change over

I have:

Mystery Editor's bass clarinet sections one and two
The full score of Manoshikan Mist for Finale
The percussion part of Mist for Noteworthy Composer
and am currently doing the bassoon part in Noteworthy as well (sorry for the delay, Sondagger). I'm happy to carry on transferring the rest of the parts into Noteworthy and posting them up in the form of .NWC files or screencaps, though this will take time. If Starwind comes up with an alternative means of getting the files to everyone it'd be a bit less time consuming ^_^

hmm... its too big to upload... *thinks* maybe it was too big to upload before, and that might be why it didnt work

Hmm... it seems that every endeavor collapses as it is put into motion, and then the rest is improvisation. I'd only heard it said in regards to battles before, but the more I delve into the world of music, the more I see that no plan survives its first encounter.

Not that I'm complaining. I like it... sometimes. :P

this works just fine (or did before)

Theres a Band at ichigos?! \i want in, but I dont have the right equimpment to help...

I would do the scores of the vocal, but I dont have a sheet writer....

must...not...become...inactive...

i feel like recording another part, because it seems like no one actually has the parts. and if it hasn't occured to anyone, you can always read off the score. thats what i did, even though i managed to get my individual part for bass clarinet.

attached is the score in midi, pdf and mus

Dangit! Just before about a two week period in which I will be completely incactive on the site at all. x_x I've got this festival that lasts like thirteen hours a day for practice and lessons and stuff, so no computer for me.

hmm, i tried sending the files to Gand, but his hotmail doesnt work. And I dunno if he'll have trouble with hosting because of having to pay for vBulletin and stuff...

the most simple way is to attach each file into the post. It really should work now that we are on Vbulliten (although it probably is just a in-my-mind thing)

EDIT: i mean in my mind, not mental :heh:

I'd like to share one of my favorite compostions (it's a character's sad theme). (Sorry that I don't have the PDF for it :() **Sorry that I came in so suddenly too. :heh: :hey: **

You gotta be kidding me? Step away from this thread now, before I clutch your hands off.

:hey: I said that I was sorry.. At least I tried! :eek: :cold: :dots:

He meant that you're not supposed to share your compositions here. This thread was for Ichigo's band, not your compositions. You'd have to start your own thread (which you've done).

You gotta be kidding me? Step away from this thread now, before I clutch your hands off.
It was just an honest mistake she just came into ichigos she didnt know.
ease up on her

wow, this thread becomes active when there is something other than whats supposed to be in here. nice.

Just letting you know I'm making individual parts... except they're in Noteworthy Composer and I can't seem to upload .NWC files :\

no, you can't, but you could easily zip them, mabye put them all in a big pack or something

Can I make a small suggestion about amending the piano part a bit? When everything drops out and it's left along in somewhat of a the solo role, it seems to take a quite a few measures before the flute comes in, kind of breaking the moment of the piece. What I suggest is to either cut a few measures, or make it more lyrical by adding a bit of lead-in melody that floats smoothly into the flute (or you can just have the pianist be very expressive with the tempo).

Other than that, it looks pretty good to go. If you want, I can help to do the final mix, since I have a pretty good multi-track editor. I can make minor adjustments in tempo and pitch, filter out some noise, pan and give the instruments some realistic reverb. Also, if no one ends up taking the violin or piano part, I can try to play those, too (I don't have any decent recording gear now, though I plan to get a condenser mike next month or so). And if there are other parts that no one can/will play, I also have some pretty realistic software samples to suppliment the piece. What do you think?

Just letting you know I'm making individual parts... except they're in Noteworthy Composer and I can't seem to upload .NWC files :\

Fixed. .NWC and .SIB files can now be uploaded. :)

Yay!!! now all we need is the parts and some people to actually record them.

Hey, Multiple file uploads, this may work after all

Sorry I didn't figure this out sooner Maz :hey:

Probably coulda saved you a buttload of work :heh:

So, you guys know the drill. Each folder has an .mus and a .pdf. The score folder has the .mid. Have fun. Oh, and try to record with as high a quality as possible. I don't know much about recording but yeh ~

yay! i wanna record some more parts, but i don't want to be greedy at teh same time *feels angst*

I'm looking at the violin score right now; when the first solo comes in, and it says ad lib trills - does that imply that you can add your own trills wherever you want in that part, sorta in a cadenza-ish manner? Also, I noticed the double stop on 47 (I think, or 48) is impossible to play (A-flat and C) - unless you are implying the violin passages w/o the solo mark are actually supposed to be played by an ensemble of violins, or that alternative tunings were used (ie, all the strings tuned down a whole-tone, or just the d-string).

Well, the clarinet part is combined... so i'd assume that its two instruments or more to play it.

i wanted to join band, but i was too late.. <.<

GAH im too late as well. Oh well, maybe we can start a new thread to get everyone motivated again. Ichigo's band 2005-2006 WHOO!!

No.. but the idea was to *first* perform an arrangment of a song (which they do now), and *then* compose an original piece and then perform it.

Well, the clarinet part is combined... so i'd assume that its two instruments or more to play it.

In that case, it might be a good idea to have a couple of seperate recordings for those parts (preferrably with different players/instruments). Though mixing them together to create an ensemble effect might be kind of tricky, because of the overtone interactions (or lack of, in this case).

So anyways, how's the progress? Are there parts still needed to be filled, or everything is taken, but not all the recordings are done?

Well I know there were more than one violinists working on the project, so I figured that you would just be splitting the part when you get to "D". And as far as the solos, yes, i just meant you could through in any extra little trills or runs or other little tricks to add a little flare. But also, i think It would be a good idea to talk to the other violinists about who will be playing the solos.

I know that Maz will be playing the violin part as well so maybe contact her. And since there are two solos, you can maybe each do one. You can figure something out. And note that ad libbing trills etc. also applies to the second solo too ^.^;

Edit: And no, parts aren't filled, So if you think you're too late your not. Parts were filled when this project was started, but that was so long ago most have forgetten about it.

just as a reminder, since your having winds and drums, one wind can play signifigantly louder than a few violinists put together so unless your having a dj or someone who understands how to do that kinda thing put together the music files, the winds need to be recorded a bit softer than the strings or else it would be unbalanced

from what i saw of the score, there didn't seem to be any parts for vocals. I don't know if I just missed them somehow, but does anyone have any thoughts for four part harmony or solos? Lyrics too?

The alternating solo is a pretty good idea, though I don't know when I can contact Maz, seeing how she'll be gone for a while. And is she the only one who has all of the recordings so far? I wonder how well they are synced together - as long as the relative tempo between the notes are pretty close, it shouldn't be hard to sync, though - how is everyone working on that, by the way?

Anyways, here are some tips for recording for those who are interest:

-It's probably not a bad idea to play along with the MIDI with headphones on while recording - just make sure that you are specifying that you are recording from the microphone!

-Also, if it's too difficult to do in one run, don't hesistate to do it by parts, as long as they are temporally consistent (actually, since there might be humanized playing for the solos, the parts might have to be split up anyways).

-When you record, try to do so at the highest bit-rate (kps) and sampling rate (hz) at the highest resolution possible (16-bit at least, 24-bit preffered, 32-bit might be too large space-wise). Try to save in a lossless compression (ie, .au, maybe .snd, not microsoft .wav or .mp3) if possible, too. It's also preferrable to record in mono, since in the end the tracks are all probably going to be converted into mono and manually panned, and stereo tracks take up more space.

I just bought a decent dynamic mike, so I could try to record the violin or piano part now. If I get a good recording, I'll send it to you soon.

people, just get involved. we have plenty of good people to mix this thing together, and it isn't that hard (well, it is, but yeah) stress less

Gaah! I can't view any of these things at all. Perhaps it would be best for me to pull out altogether, since there are two violin solos and I seem to be a tad superfluous anyway.

Edit: Nevermind... I got it to where I can see it now. Not too hard... I was worried for a minute about the mention of trills and vibrato. Does this song even really need trills? *goes to try and wrestle the midi into compliance*
I actually don't have a microphone... I have something where I record myself onto a tape, record that onto the computer and upload it to this site. While that might provide alright sound quality, depending on the tape/recorder used, I do not have the option of saving the file as other than .wav / .mp3 I'm afraid.


Edit 2: Um... could someone give me a tempo marking? I can't hear the MIDI. When I try to play it, no matter how or in what player, all I can here is a few little staticky noises... I've tried the one that Mystery Editor put up too. :unsure:

I have an idea...I have a disclavier, and it works BEAUTIFULLY. I tried playing one of my favorite songs from Ichigo's on it (Lulling Nights), and it was amazing. Does anyone else have one, because I am lacking in Recording Equipment. Oh wait...this...isn't...page three...band already formed...BLEH!

Ok, nevermind. I got the equipment to hear the MIDIs. Yay for me. I'll record in a few days; I just finished my three hour practice for the night, and tomorrow I'm getting my wisdom teeth out and will be in no shape to do much of anything. :hey:

I can play the violin part but I'm not hugely confident so if other, better players want to record and put their performances up as mp3 - I'll use the best recordings :)

Yeah... my tone is absolutely terrible right now after four days without practice. I shudder to think of what I'll sound like when I pick my violin up again... :hey: Cursed swollen jaw.

Maz, you should record it and keep it anyways, just incase. you don't have to be confident, because no one will hear you play it. until its released onto the web. then EVERYONE can hear you play... i think i just disproved my point... :heh:

*bump*

is this ever going to get off the ground again, or should we just close it?

Aw man... I just read through 25 pages and it isn't even done...

I think this first piece is a bit too ambitious. Maybe something with less parts would've got off the ground faster.

Perhaps. This piece was arranged because there were so many participants wanting in. Most of them are gone now.. :think:

That or just forgot.

I still have mysed's clarinet piece... we were waiting on people to record stuff :mellow:

Internet people aren't very reliable. :\

another time (little busy at the moment) i could record all the part that I could play...

Wait...are there any positions open for vocals? I'll send in something to show that I am good...or you could look at the extensive guide I just posted yesterday about correct singing technique.

i don't think there are in this song, from my memory of the parts

Yeah sorry...I found what I was looking for. We should make a song that HAS vocals!!!

Uh... sorry guys. So much stuff has been happening lately at my school that I have not had time to record anything until tonight. (My orchestra teacher died, among other disasters, as well as auditions, honor orchestra, etc.)

But um... I am here. Not that you really need a violinist... but here's my stuff anyway. Tell me if it sucks, or if I'm doing something that needs tweaking or whatever, and sorry for the long delay.

yay! now we have 2 parts!
*goes off to see if he can combine them*

well, i will later, anyways.

EDIT: all i can get so far is that there is a fair amount of background static, but thats ok. did you use a metronome when playing? its in pretty good time as far as I can tell...

Ooh, this in interesting.. Ah.. any spots open? O.o (I play the flute, and I can sing.. Alto 2 through saprano 2.. I belive that's three octives.)

well, no one else seems to be recording, and there isn't a vocal part from my memory, so feel free to do what you can!

Hmmmm. I'm interested to join The Ichigo Band in some of the composition. Can i join ????????????!!!!!!!!! ^^

yay! now we have 2 parts!

well, i will later, anyways.

EDIT: all i can get so far is that there is a fair amount of background static, but thats ok. did you use a metronome when playing? its in pretty good time as far as I can tell...
Sorry about the static... I don't actually have a microphone for my computer; I have to use my two dollar tape recorder, play the tape through a recording device and save it to the computer for it to work. :\ Which bugs me... but it's all I can do.

I did not use a metronome, but I'm good at counting; I'm not allowed to get lost in my orchestra, because I'm the leader. So I can stay on time really well. ^_^

thats ok, its actually quite good ^^
especially on a $2 tape recorder...

So who's combining them now, Maz or mystery_editor? Well, whoever, which parts do you guys have so far?

Heh, thanks.

I could maybe do piano... except that I do have rather small hands, which results in an accent on the first note of many of the measures because I have to shift positions a bunch. :heh: It would sound ok, though, so if no one else volunteers, I'll try it. It'll be on my $2 tape recorder, though. :P

maz i assume, not me. I was going to do it quickly to see what it would sound like, but I can't do it at the moment, all my stuff is... expired :heh:

Oh I so want to join in. I probably can't though. Unless anyof you could teach me how to record my self and tell me all the stuff I would need to record myself. (I can play violin Bassoon and if needed sing.)

Oh I so want to join in. I probably can't though. Unless anyof you could teach me how to record my self and tell me all the stuff I would need to record myself. (I can play violin Bassoon and if needed sing.)
You have to have a microphone or a tape recorder + the software that I have, which does cost money. If you have one of those, then you should be able to join in. We definitely need bassoon, and probably another violinist too.

Hmm, speaking of bassoon, it doesn't look like Sondagger is still participating. She was also doing all the percussion.

Wait umm. I don't really have any music programs except windows media player. wich I don't think it will really help me. So do you know a program it will pretty much have to be free or something that is relatively cheap and doesn't have to be renude. And then I should be able to get my hands on a microphone or a taperecorder.

I know a good percussionist, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to bring my little tape recorder and have her play it. :unsure:


The program I have is called Polderbits, and it cost money. I don't remember how much. :heh:

Never mind apparently my computer already has one (wow how little I know). It will be a while before I can get a microphone though but it looks like I'm on a good start. thanks anyway. And can somebody please fil me in on what happened in the last 26 pages I can't read them do to a stupid internet filter system.

^ im with her....i haven't posted alot....i'm only 13 (8th grade).....don't knoe wat in the world is going on but knoes dis is about a band thingy.....

well....even if i don't post as much...i would lyke 2 help.....i play first chair Viola (advance..skiped intermediat year and i knoe i spelled it wrong..cuz of the aproval of my first year teacher...)...a little bit of piano (by sound..) a little bit of Guitar (sound as well)...dats about it...

The lost one did you just call me a girl you better have been refering to somebody else. I AM A BOY. but yes what is going on fill us in we are lost tell us what is going on so that we may blindly obey.

Well, were having people recording themselves playing a song and were going to combine them all. The parts for the song are on page 24 and the instructions for how they need to be recorded are on page 17.

Umm....I think I'm stupid ether I am not understanding that there are instructions there on how to record itor there not there please help me.

Oh, sorry, I meant page 19.


Just a note, guys, when you're doing your recordings, please make it easier for me by following this labelling system when saving your files for upload:

YourUsernameYourInstrumentSectionNumber

YourUsername - Your Forum username

YourInstrument - The instrument you play, and whether you're playing the first/second/third part, ie FirstViolin, SecondTrumpet etc.

SectionNumber - If you have a rest in your part that is more than TWO BARS LONG, please stop recording at this point and make a new recording for the next passage. So say you have a passage that you play, and then a three bar rest before you next play, please record the first passage and name that SectionOne, then record the passage after the rest as Section Two etc. It just makes it easier for me to assemble the piece, as some people have problems with timing when they're working without other instruments to lead the time, and so may come in too early or too late if just recording the piece straight off. If you only have one passage in the whole piece, that's fine, just name it SectionOne - it just allows all the files on my computer to order themselves nicely so I don't lose anybody's passages.

So when you save your recording, save it using the name style above (minus the color tags obviously) - so when you upload your piece for me to download for mixing, it'll be something like:

madmazda86FirstViolinSectionOne.mp3

Please upload as mp3 or wav only! Thankyou :D

NOTE: When I'm mixing the piece, I will select the BEST QUALITY recordings - this means the ones with minimum distortion/hiss/mistakes etc. This means your recording may not necessarily be used in the piece, but bear in mind that for every person who contributes a recording it gives me more instrumental samples to select from, and in this way you are helping the final effort! Full credit will be given to all musicians whose performances appear in the final recording :)

Anyspots open for vocals? If there isnt I can see what I can do if you allow me to write some..

Any spots open for Bass? Note, I don't have a double bass so I can only play Sticatto but I can still play.

...I can help with the lyrics.. if you want.. and if I'm not too late.. x.x; I'm not too confident in my work though..

The lost one did you just call me a girl you better have been refering to somebody else. I AM A BOY.


sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry!!!:( :(
i haven't been around ya knoe?? I don't knoe ppl in hea......i'll try 2 remeber....
sooooooo sorry.....sorry 4 going off topic...^_^

:( I forgot to do the labelling! I'm sorry.

Gahdammit, let me reiterate in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS...

THERE ARE NO VOCALS IN THIS PIECE. WE DO NOT NEED SINGERS OR LYRICISTS!

So please, STOP offering to sing or write lyrics!

Yes, I am happy to assemble the piece, but I need the percussion and the piano part as my base to assemble it all from. Till those are recorded I can't assemble the piece :)

Umm... I'm sorry but I can't find how many beats per minute this is. It is probaboly out there but most of these pages are blocked(stupid blocking system) so could you please tell me.

Plus, everyone, you can click in Starwind's signature to see what parts there are. So look there first. :)

Ack. Does anyone know right off hand the page which holds the music parts (So I can look over the flute part)?

No need to get so angry...though I think it may have gotten your point across very well. I'm sorry I said anything.

Oh, I guess Starwind hasn't posted on this page yet... otherwise I would tell you to click on her signature. Page 24; I just checked.

The music stuffs are on there? like the parts (to play... the uh, sheet music... I guess)

... Yes. Page 24 is where the sheet music parts are all located. You can either click back to that page, or simply click on Starwind's profile. ...I think I said that before...

Umm... I'm sorry but I can't find how many beats per minute this is. It is probaboly out there but most of these pages are blocked(stupid blocking system) so could you please tell me.
I think that it is at a 57 metronome marking, but it might perhaps be a good idea if you opened Finale or a similar program to check, or just matched your metronome against the MIDI.

I want to join the band. Am I too late?:unsure: (Sorry, I don't really have the time to look at all 28 pages :heh: )... PM me if I can, P.S. I can play Clarinet.

record your part, get it in the right format, upload it. Simple ^^

Hmm...I don't see a Bb Clarinet part...maybe I can't join the band... :no: what fun that would have been. :music:

There is a clarinet part... not Bb, though? :unsure:

I could play the cello, but a) I'm not so great, and b) I don't have any recording equipment other than a mike on my computer and a camera which can take voice memo. But if you really long for a cellist, then I could do it. Potentially... :P

hmm, did I put Eb Clarinet instead??

I can transpose it quickly.

Hrm.. I don't know how I'd record the flute peice. I have a mic built into my laptop, but the only recording thing that I have (that I know of) is the sound recorder, and that's only allowed a minute long record.. so.. yeah. >.> I may just have to forgo this.

Try Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)

Thanks. ^_^

Ok here's the Bb Clarinet part.

Play along with the full score midi on this one, not the individual part because it won't sound right (I just changed the Key Signature on the Eb Clarinet part in order to Transpose)

Wahh I'm sorry It is taking so long my stupid printer isn't working.

D'oh!

When I read the part about the clarinet in Bb, I noticed that both my reeds were warped!!! Why me??? :cry:

EDIT: I also noticed it was a *.mus file. I don't have Finale Notepad. (yet... :shifty: )

Well, I think that I'll have a go at the Clarinet part sometime soon. Just gotta get my stuff together.

I can play the sax part in my sleep... call me if you evern need any woodwind support. I'd rather play Soprano though...

i can play the tenor sax (but i don't think i'm very good), is there a tenor sax part i can try?

the link to the page with all of the parts is in my sig.

thanks! how fast should I play the song?

in the score part is an midi of the whole arrangement. Plug headphones into your computer and play along with the MIDI while recording.

It's probably too late for this, but I play tuba... unfortunately that's all since I got my braces on... If there's any bass-ish part you have, I can read it, since I do treble clef as well. I can read Bari sax or Bass clarinet or whatever you have... but I'd honestly like to take part in this... I'm pretty sure I can get some recording equipment when the time comes to actually put this together... okay... I think that's everything. Please send me a pm telling me what I can do. Thanks much!

Edit: I just found the Bassoon part, which I can read... This song looks as easy as pie... but the question is, how fast does it go?
