Star Wars Music Arrangement

[Alawill 0]

In the meanwhile, while waiting for the AOTC-single, I would like to offer another music file to you: it is an arrangement, which I made for the band I´m playing in.

Don´t expect too much of style, because, hmm... it´s a POLKA. It contains melodies by Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek), John Williams (Star Wars) and Alexander Courage (Star Trek).

Feel free to download the file from http://www.rainermusikanten.at/mp3/music.html by right-clicking on the text. The title is (in German) "Krieg der Polkasterne" (from the german "Star Wars"-title "Krieg der Sterne"). (Mp3, Size: about 4 MByte)

I would be interessted in any comments on that piece.

Yours,

Alawill

I'm listening to it now, but where's Star Wars?

~Harry, who hears only Star Trek

Nevermind. I hear Star Wars now.

Am I supposed to know what comes after Star Wars? I don't know it. Yes, I know it's Star Trek, but what is it?

Reation: It was an interesting polka, one of which I've never heard before. I like polkas, so I liked it, although I'm not familiar with the third piece. This is sort of like making disco with the Star Wars theme, except it's a polka instead!

I liked it. Much better than "Cocktails in the Cantina", and about on par with the Meco remixes. I'll bet it's great fun to play.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks for pointing that out!

Outstanding! What a fun listen and seamless integration of all three themes! What do you mean there's no style? IT'S ALL STYLE!

Congratulations and I look forward to other arrangements!

Harry, Harry, my very young friend.

That third theme is the main theme from Star Trek, the original series, by Alexander Courage. Long before we had Jerry Goldsmith's excellent Motion Picture theme (and Star Wars, obviously), that was the standard anthem for all of us sci-fi aficionados. Incidentally, the opening fanfare is originally a part of the Alexander Courage theme.

Cheers!

Thank you for answering. I've never ever heard that before! Now I know! Thanks!

That was actually pretty cool.

Dan - who envisioned Jerry and Johnny aboard a float in a St. Patrick's Day parade for some reason.

[Morn 8]

Pretty cool!

What a wonderful piece of music, it should have been added to the AOTC battle scenes instead of copy/paste.

You mean something like this?

Thanks! Alawill was so nice to make Across The Stars available to us, I wanted to try and repay him a little.

The link is unavailable at the moment, but I will upload the file again, if some guys are interessted. But this may take a while, as "Across the Stars"-single needs the space now...

All the best,

Alawill

Yes, i'm very interested because I never heard it the first time... and I want to listen to it
