PMD: EoT/D/S - "Dusk Forest" & "Time Gear" (Arr. for Concert Band)

A mix of two themes from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness & Sky - "Dusk Forest" and the Time Gear motif, arranged for concert band. Instrumentation: 1 Piccolo, 1 Flute, 3 Bb Clarinets, 1 Bass Clarinet, 1 Oboe, 1 Bassoon, 2 Alto Saxophones, 1 Tenor Saxophone, 1 Baritone Saxophone, 2 Bb Trumpets, 2 Horns in F, 2 Trombones, 1 Euphonium, 1 Tuba, 1 Drum Set, Auxilliary Percussion (Triangle, Tambourine), 4 Timpani, 1 Glockenspiel, 1 Marimba. I started arranging Dusk Forest for concert band back in September 2019, as part of the Explorers Re-scored project I'm doing. At that time, I half-joked to my JC bandmates about convincing our school's band to play it... Then eventually it got to the point where I just sent a pdf of the work-in-progress sheet music to my conductor. He actually agreed to try it out, and that was the time I started integrating the Time Gear motif into the arrangement to lengthen the piece a little. By October, we tried an earlier version of this piece which proved to be a little too technical for us to play, heehee. So of course I had to try again! I began work on this revised version with some pointers I got from trying the last one out in mind. Then it was only until February of this year when we played this revised version. Turned out to be hard still, albeit less bad than before. I was hoping to convince our conductors to play this at a concert in June, but with the difficulty and, obviously, the whole virus thing, that never came to fruition. :( But you guys get to enjoy a better arrangement of these themes than if I'd never tried to get this played! While I'd like to give four more paragraphs of text commenting about how I arranged this, I realise that no sane person is going to read all of it. So I'll give a short point-form commentary: In practice, the tempo had to be slowed a lot in order to make it easier to play. The early arrangement needed for many instruments to cooperate with each other which was near impossible at the original 114 BPM. So I included a tempo range in this arrangement that is hopefully more reasonable. On that point, I learnt that you shouldn't segregate a phrase among so many parts, especially if that segregation made it so that the players have to play on the 'pol' of a triplet (haha adam neely terminology). There was one part in the old arrangement (abt 1:40 here) that involved every part holding an fp on each of the notes of that arpeggio... Don't know what I was thinking lol The second half of this arrangement was originally in 12/8 as well, then I changed it to 6/4, and then 3/4 at the last minute for accessibility's sake. While the early draft was written with more of a 'formal concert band' sound in mind, this one leaned more into rock/fusion. That meant adding a drumset and removing some orchestral percussion. I actually also re-wrote the second half of the arrangement entirely, and changed the introduction a little. Since this was written with my school's band In mind, there are some strange choices in instrumentation/part allocation here and there (e.g, only one flute part?!). I think arranging this also changed my overall writing style a lot. It made me become very particular about note beaming and playability. I was admittedly a bit annoyed at the band for not being able to play the early arrangement at first, but in retrospect it was honestly a mess... And this is still a (less bad) mess. I'm happy that I'm getting progressively better though. :) Compositions by Arata Iiyoshi, Hideki Sakamoto, Keisuke Ito, Ken-ichi Saito and Ryoma Nakamura. Arranged by FiveNineSquared, October 2019 to February 2020. Follow me on Twitter:   / robang592   Find my stuff on NinSheetMusic's forums: http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index....
