Saul's Compositions

[Saul]

Well, I only dropped it because I fell asleep listening to Discovery......
so it's all your fault. Really. 

Point taken, I did compose it as a relaxing piece.

Happy that you relaxed so much from it, good luck finding your nose...

Saul, do you by any chance know Naftali Schindler?

No, but I did check out his Myspace page, very interesting.

[(poco) Sforzando]

No, I think that's from this great book:

I knew it wasn't an original Saul hours ago.

I knew it wasn't an original Saul hours ago.

I knew you were a troll years ago.

[(poco) Sforzando]

I knew you were a troll years ago.

I've only been here half a year.

[Saul]

I've only been here half a year.

And you became so smart....

GMG must be doing something right.

Here is my arrangement of the Transformers soundtrack for piano.
Be easy on me, I didn't have the score, its entirely based on hearing alone.
I know I have to polish some parts, but overall I would like to hear an overall critic with some constructive points that might make this piece sound better.

Insults are old school, and only show the terrible personality of some posters, so comeon , its either you provide constructive critic, or say nothing.

Much thanks,

Saul

What is most impressive about the above, Saul, is that you managed to arrange over 9 minutes of terrible music. Is that constructive enough?   

On a vaguely more serious note - although I don't know the music, the musical figurations in your arrangments seems very repetitive and quite dull - i.e far too much reliance on arpeggiated left hands or straight octaves etc. There are always ways of making music more interesting, even if the original bares no resemblance to anything like that adjective.

Fair effort, though.

Its just a sktech.

Not written down just trying to arrange the strings sounds on the piano. Naturaly, if I will want to make a serious arrangement, I will have to make it more interesting, especially the harmony.

Thanks for the comments.

More!  More!

Hold on to your horses.

ah, Tarrega - composer of the world's most recognised piece of music.... 

[(poco) Sforzando]

[lukeottevanger]

No, that's not what I meant (famous bit appears after a few seconds)

[Saul]

Yes, he was a great composer.

Lots of poetry and emotion...

[Joe_Campbell]

No, that's not what I meant (famous bit appears after a few seconds)

that's hilarious! After hearing it so often out of context, it sounds horribly out of place IN the music is was written!

[M forever]

Is that a coincidence?
