djc242 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 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):http://www.myspace.com/emergingcomposerIt should automatically play after a few moments of buffering. It'll be interesting to see what you all hear in it.Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo 33 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Sounds really good! Any way to get it in MP3 form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's funny that you played the Close Encounters theme under the Krypton theme because I do the exact same thing on the piano from time to time, just for fun. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 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.Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaderbait1 1 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Is this legal?No, but he's not selling it or distributing it, and it's just one piece, so I doubt the music police will be dropping in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanticStrings 10 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 That was amazing! I got so many chills, and that ending was very powerful. I don't usually get this way with any music, but this arrangement was so perfectly constructed, I couldn't help it. Great work, Daniel!~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaderbait1 1 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 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.

MrAsterisk 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 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.

Composer_Fan 2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 That is amazing. You simply have to get me a mp3 of this.Trully wonderful job. You should be very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Is this legal?Making and playing arrangemnets yourself if legal. As soon as you're selling it, publishers' rights come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc242 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yes, I would like to stress that there is/was no money involved with this music - it was just an exercise.-Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I've know Daniel's arrangement for some time now, and is in fact a great piece.Everyone should also check his site and original compositions. Really great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djc242 0 Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 MSM - Haha LOL , "good sound memory" is a wonderful euphemism for having ingested large amounts of Williams' music far too frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
