"Fantasy" on JW Themes

Recommended Posts

Just posted a recording of an orchestra piece from 2003 that laced around 20 of JW themes together. This was an orchestration excercise and thought you all might like to hear it (although most of it was replicated by ear, goodness knows it violates a pleathora of copyrights - so it will never see real programming):

It should automatically play after a few moments of buffering. It'll be interesting to see what you all hear in it.

Wow! How much did I love this? I've been toying around with the idea of putting together something similar to this myself, but I never seem to have the time. Good stuff.

Wow! Oh that makes me regret I never took up studying music :) Great piece. Nice orchestrations too.

This will make me sound really ignorant, but I'll be honest with you. A lot of that sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. All I could place was the opening (and the piece right before the Star Wars finale?) being Superman, and the Star Wars references. What all did you use? It sounds great.

There was "Journey to the Island" from Jurassic Park as well as Hedwig's Theme B, Nimbus 2000 Theme, and Hogwart's Theme from Harry Potter that I can remember from the top of my head.

Some of those are only used as supportive counterpoint, but they're in there. :-)

Wow, this is great! I'm on Myspace, but not as a composer, just a hobby page. Great arrangement of themes!

~Tyler, who should make a Myspace music page once he has decent compositions...

Is this legal?

Making and playing arrangemnets yourself if legal. As soon as you're selling it, publishers' rights come in.

Daniel I finallky heard your arrangement and it is great. You have an exceptionally good sound memory I assume. I think from the use of counterpoint one can judge someones talent, you certainly have it :)

MSM - Haha LOL , "good sound memory" is a wonderful euphemism for having ingested large amounts of Williams' music far too frequently.

Well, I think one can never ingest too much Williams 8O But really, copying all that stuff by ear to make it sound (almost) like the original arrangements is amazing ;)
