Seventh Day of Hanukkah
8 7 6 5 ^ 4 3 2 1
(clickable chanukiah)

Went through almost all of my sheets and used PrintMusic to fix some formatting errors. Note that I did not edit any notes; I decided to only edit formatting to avoid making this take too long.

List of formatted arrangements, in list order -
 - Intro
 - Legend of Skyloft (merged into one part)
 - Space maze
 - Death Mountain (merged into one part)
 - Sealed Grounds
 - Mini-Boss
 - Issun's Theme
 - Queen Rutela
 - Village of Blue Maiden
 - Mirror of Twilight Completed
 - A Wolf in Ordon
 - Caves (merged into one part)
 - Sound Effects
 - Coo the Owl
 - Impa's Fate / Farewell (and Past at Peace) (merged into one part)

Arranged Take a stroll from Snakebird. This turned out to be easy to be arranged; there was only a simple melody and bassline. Again, I was able to format it nicely with PrintMusic.

H. 3 – TO THE BATTLEFIELD



Arranged To the Battlefield from Radiant Historia. Because of the amount of percussion in the track, I took a more creative direction in this arrangement. I made a power chord in the left hand and used the top note to mimic the snare drum pattern; it's likely not completely accurate but it gets the general sound across. The main melody was just violins with a single harmony, which wasn't really a problem.

Fourth Day of Hanukkah

Arranged Cursed Shinshuu Plains I from Ōkami [Okami]. This first part is actually part of a longer track which also contains a version with more instruments, but I only arranged this part for now. For some reason I only cared about playability in the right hand, so the left hand has 13ths in multiple occasions, which isn't playable by any means. In these cases the top layer could probably be brought down. I was again able to format it nicely using PrintMusic. I'm not sure if I decided to hide too many rests; I tried to only hide them when it seemed obvious when the notes were.

Third Day of Hanukkah

Arranged the song ザ・ワードⅡ (The Word II) from Shigeo Sekito's album Special Sound Series Vol. 2. Shigeo Sekito is a Japanese electone player active in the 70s and 80s; information about him is scarce and it is still unknown whether he is currently alive. The Word II is arguably the most popular song which he produced, being quoted in Mac Demarco's Chamber of Reflection as well as several lofi hip hop tracks. However, The Word II is an outlier in terms of Sekito's other work; it has a more gloomy feel compared to the rest of the album and is one of the only pieces which Sekito himself composed (the rest are covers of music of the time). In my transcription, I tried to replicate the rhythm of the piece as accurately as I could. I decided to write it without grace notes to be accurate, but for reading I also made a version with grace notes. The only instrument that I know is in the piece is the electone, so I'm not confident in my choice for instruments.

A transcription of Shigeo Sekito's ザ・ワードⅡ with a focus on accuracy. I'm not completely sure whether I chose the right instruments; I know that the electone (a type of electronic organ) was used in the album, but everything else was inferred. There currently is no drum part because I have no experience with writing for drums. Because organ music is very particular to how long notes last, the main version omits any grace notes and writes these out in time. I also made a version with grace notes in both melody lines for ease of reading.

Second Day of Hanukkah

Arranged Link Leaves Ordon from Twilight Princess. This piece is just another reprise of the Ordon Village theme, but it uses portato strings in the background. The only real problem was making sure that everything was playable. The bottom note in the left hand sometimes is too far away to play the entire left hand, but most the time the right hand is in range or takes one of the notes. The staccato eighth note pattern in the second section does seem a bit unwieldly, especially with the bass note at the beginning of each measure. I was able to format it nicely with my trial of PrintMusic, which is why there is also a .musx file included. Expect me to put up formatted versions of the rest of my sheets soon.

First Day of Hanukkah

Made an arrangement of Faron Woods from Twilight Princess for solo piano. I would have liked to put this up if / when I made a performance video, but I figured I could put it up for Hanukkah. The first part is very similar to the on-site arrangement (and by extension the original track), but in the second half I decided to add some more dramatic embellishments. It's not completely done, but it's polished enough to be considered "complete."

Because of school and other obligations, I may not be able to get the Hanukkah arrangements up by sundown every day. To keep this a daily thing, I will continue to put up the arrangements up the day after the corresponding day of Hanukkah starts (as opposed to posting the second today as well).

An arrangement of Faron Woods largely based off of the original. I tried to differ this arrangement from my others by making some original embellishments in the second half. These are mostly dynamic and tempo changes, but I did tweak some of the lines (such as the left hand in m70-73) to make them sound more dramatic. I also wrote a sort of bridge at the end as well as a definitive ending to the piece. The only thing that is missing is more detailed pedal markings; there are some in version 1.9 but because they were only in the beginning I just wrote in a simple "con pedale."

Not done. This happens a couple of times in the left hand later on as well, and NotePad can't delete accidentals while still playing at the right pitch.
Done. This also happened in the left hand in the third section as well as in measure 5, and all these should be fixed. I uploaded the .musx file because I had it.

Like last year, I will be doing the 8 Arrangements of Hanukkah. This will be good for me to get back into arranging, and it's also a good opportunity to put up some miscellaneous sheets which I never uploaded. As for the dates, Hanukkah starts on a different date each year because of the differences between the Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian calendar. This year, the first day of Hanukkah starts on the evening of 12 December 2017. I will upload each arrangement on the day following its start, which means that the days I would ideally upload will be -

 - 13 December 2017
 - 14 December 2017
 - 15 December 2017
 - 16 December 2017
 - 17 December 2017
 - 18 December 2017
 - 19 December 2017
 - 20 December 2017

Of course, the chances of me actually sticking to this are very low, so expect at least one Hanukkah arrangement in January.

Also, I made a Twitter account for the blog. There's auto-updates whenever I post anything on the blog, and I will sometimes tweet about my other shenanigans.

QuoteParenthesized notes.
I should have fixed the worst of it. I tried playing part of the middle voice with the right hand and because of the shifting it didn't work very well. I just cut out the low notes when the left hand plays the middle voice.

Also, in m26 LH the F clashes with the G and the usual clicking around won't fix it.
