messermusic 82 Posted March 3, 2017 I spent the last week working on y own rendition of "Dearly Beloved" for a fan-made KH3 soundtrack. I changed up some chords, added new melodies. I tied in some themes from other works of mine for my KH3 soundtrack. I tried to give the opening a darker feel to it then the previous versions. Composed by Yoko Shimomura Arranged by Mark Messer (me) 4 A mystery, Solarclaw, Songbird Rebel and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterXemnas 2,285 Posted March 3, 2017 Fool. Great job, this is well done. I think it might be a bit too loud near the end. I heard a little distortion. And you probably drowned out the piano part on purpose, but I bet it would sound nice if you raised the volume on it instead. There are some other things, too, but I'm not familiar enough with music composing to articulate what I would want to say. Overall, good job. I really liked it.

A mystery 346 Posted March 3, 2017 I enjoyed listening to your arrangement of "Dearly Beloved. I thought that the orchestration that you used was nice. The addition of new melodies to the piece created an interesting polyphonic texture in several areas of the piece. I thought your use of the brass section at the beginning of the piece was different. It added more of a maestoso feeling instead of the traditional soft beginning we usually hear at the beginning of "Dearly Beloved." I also like how the flute played the main melody along with the piano as well. What kind of cadence did you use to close the piece? The only aspect I would have liked as an addition to your arrangement would be different dynamic levels. You can create a variety of expression and drama through the use of different dynamic levels. You did have a decrescendo from forte to piano at the end of the piece, which I enjoyed. Anyways, nice job keep up the good work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted March 4, 2017 Wow man, this was beautiful! You truly know your stuff! This version of yours of Dearly Beloved had such power to it, and I loved how the beginning sounded darker, yet the theme itself triumphantly morphed into a beautiful setpiece! Truly amazing stuff man, you're great at this! Good job! 1 Songbird Rebel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
