DZComposer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've made some changes to the ballad. For over a year, an idea has been brewing in my head: Star Fox music for Marching Band. Finally, I decided to make it a reality. However, instead of going to full bands, such as what your school may have, I decided to do Drum Corps instead. Don't worry, I haven't quit on the musical. Its going slow. A lot of work for one person and help is not as easy to find as I had hoped. Anyhows, back to this project. I am using music from Star Fox SNES, Star Fox 64, and Star Fox Adventures. Please note that I am not writing this to conform to any drum corps organization rules, so it may be illegal in DCI, DCA, or any other organization. Musical Numbers: Opener: Star Fox 64 Medley (SF64) -Theme -Fortuna/Sector Z -Meteo -Area 6 -Boss 3 -Corneria Ballad: Krystal's Theme and Game Clear (SFAs and SNES) -Krystal's theme (needed altering to make brass and marching-friendly) -Game Clear -The drums aduring the last chord of Game Clear are based off of the Cape Claw BGM (SFAs) Percussion Feature: Title Screen (SF64) -SF64 Title Screen -Original Stuff Bridge: ANDROSS!!!! (SF64 and SFAs) -SF64 Andross -Andross Brain -SFAs Andross Closer: Staff Credits (SNES and SF64) -Credits (SNES) -Credits (SF64) Drum Corps instrumentation: Trumpets (I used a Flugelhorn solo in the ballad) [Called "Sopranos"] Mellophones (Horns) [Called "Altos"] NOTE: I used F Horn sounds as I have no Mellos. Euphoniums [called "Tenors"] NOTE: I used Trombone sounds as I have no Euphoniums Tubas [called "Contrabasses"] Snare Drums Tenor Toms Bass Drums Marimbas Xylophone Vibes Timpani various drums cymbals various percussion accesories I have some samples ready. The Opener is about 45% complete. The Ballad is about 95% complete.

DZComposer Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 New stuff! The bridge (ANDROSS!!!) is now 80% complete. Thre is no battery yet. This is susposed to lead straight into the closer with no pause, so the ending feels a little open. http://www.classicalhorn.com/betamusic/androssnobattery.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
