indy4 155 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm surprised more people haven't commented on these pieces (especially part 3). I wonder if people need to be guided towards them more. These are pieces that I think everyone here at JWFan will enjoy if they know about them. I honestly think Marc is creating something of almost professional quality and we should be proud he's posting it here at JWFan. Mr B., is it worth considering putting Marc's horn arrangements up as stickies?I agree, I really really enjoy listening to these brilliantly written pieces. I cannot fathom how difficult it would be to write such complex Williams pieces in a way that will work with an entirely different ensemble. Let alone playing the music as flawlessly as Marc has, all 12(!) parts, especially with all the tempo changes and ritardandoes (sp?). Bravo!The tone quality and articulation is perfectly performed, and some of those fast notes seem impossible to play ("Far and Away" and "In The Idol's Temple" especially).

Marc 758 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I wonder if JW would hear them one day..I did these pieces for the challenge and fun it is to browse through all his scores and construct something new, but must of all to pay tribute to this gigantic, tremendous work he's doneI don't know if it's possible to get to him in any way but I remember seeing an address, his agents or something..maybe I could burn a cd with all 3 parts on it and send it there, who knows..!

Marc 758 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 So finally here is Part IV..and I must say I'm rather proud of this one.It's 12min long and composed for the most part of Indy stuff, a good third of it only being Temple of Doom cues It's also one of the most challenging I've done..and while making it i'd often tell myself things like "dude you're just insane " I had hard times for certain parts but it all turned out great I think !Also, this time I didn't do it completely alone but had my sister as a "guest-star", you'll know when !Anyway there it is => http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0jjjnomywglOther link, in case.. => http://dl.free.fr/pazEDuIPh/HornTributetoJ...arcPapeghin.mp3(Oh and...sounds better with headphones ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a great little detail what she did at the end though. Good job!I wanted to at first..but she's not exactly an awesome singer, and she had to do 10 takes to have those two words exactly like I wanted ( I'm picky, too picky ) so the whole thing ?...nay BTW, the link for Part I you post earlier in this thread goes to Tribute to Neal Morse.Thanks for that, didn't notice it...now fixed !Anyway thanks to you all !

(Speaking of which...how long have you been playing, and how long would you say it took you to get good enough to really start having fun with it?)All of it was done with sheet music this time and yep, it's all me !I've been playing for a good 15 years now ( started at 8 and I'm now 23 ), but I couldn't really say how long it takes to master it and really enjoy yourself playing. It depends on what age you begin, your dedication to it, practicing...also if you've played another brass instrument before things will be much easier .But I've seen teenagers and adults getting to a pretty nice level in 4-5 years ! Enough to be playing some good old JW in a concert band As for a live performance I know in my region ( North of France ) there sometimes is a "horn reunion" with hundreds of hornists playing together so this may be the perfect occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 214 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 One wouldn't be able to persuade you to share the arrangement, would we? I have a horn ensemble that would be cool to try it with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc 758 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well I wouldn't mind sharing it if only there was something to share I just don't have any sheet music written down...For this medley I knew which cues I wanted to use and I just built the whole thing in my head.When recording I do it cue by cue, reading and transposing directly on the original full score, and arranging it "live". Then it's a long process of overdubbing for all the small details, and working out the transitions, and finally is the medley complete...Now I'd need to go back on each tribute and transcribe everything in order to have 12 proper parts, which I should do when I have the time for it..I considered reducing it for 8 or 4 horns but i'm not sure how it would sound..certain parts such as Let there be light in Part II would just have to be deleted..Anyway if I do it one of those days be sure I'll let you know !

Marc 758 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I've just uploaded on youtube a video I recorded for Part I.I thought this way my tribute would be a bit more "accessible" for people who don't have jwfans' knowledge So the video shows me ( or multiple me ) playing part I entirely, with pictures of each movie in the background.=> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthHornPlayer 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 MarcWOW, that was amazing. JW knows the horn more than any composer and in my opinion could write as well for it as did Mahler and Strauss.There is some excellent playing there, especially the low horn. Are you playing a Holton here?I would of loved a bells up at the end of ET too. LOLCongrats!DHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
