OH yes. Finally. This is what the Internet was meant for.
I see someone has the same mind set
Was following the bass part then, I freaked out for a bit with the key change. I had no idea that was there 🤣
I gave this to my school jazz band. The difficulty is just slightly above our combined skill, but I’m confident
Yeah!!! This is awesome!!!
I really hope to see your Yoshi's Island available for download some day; even if it isn't free, I know I'd pay for it!
This band doesn’t buy licenses for their stuff, so if it comes, it WILL be free. They mentioned this in their Q and A live-stream
@@chordalharmony ah, good to know
hell yeah!! i've been wanting to get my hands on one of these scores for a long time, your arranging is a huge inspiration! thanks so much for this and all the work you put into making such wonderful music
this is an underrated vid
my school band gets to do this song now thank u so much
I can't read sheet music nor can I play an instrument but I still really appreciate the existence of this video!
Post Lockdown, we will without doubt be playing this. Great work and big thanks 8-bit!
THIS!
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF!
YEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!
A true masterpiece
Nice!
Ooooooohhhhhh PLEASEEEE!
THIS IS THE MOST BETTER THING I'VE EVER HEARD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You guys are the best. Love your work
dope
Blessed
Yay! That was great fun!
Awesome job! Can you upload the mario live playthrough sheet music?
I need that 8-Bit trumpet avatar on a t-shirt.
Yesss!!!
this crap i need
DO THE MAIN BATTLE THEME FROM FINAL FANTASY 6 PLEASE
Do more scores!
hey I wonder if you can do "In a Moments Time" from Skullgirls 2nd Encore, i wonder how it'll sound
Or unfinished business
Is this bassline playable on the upright bass? Or electric bass still fits on this music?
I would think yes, as a non-bassist. However, this is a funk arrangement, and to get that mid-last century feel, I'd totally recommend sticking to electric. You could say that the section from 90, when the rhythm section comes back in is appropriate for upright bass. Then again, I think it'd better to stick to electric just in case you or your ensemble's bassist does not have proper access to a double bass. Also, there isn't a double for that part.
this makes up for muse score not being free anymore
uh, it still is
!!!
But when do we get some professor layton themes?

*perfectly balanced, as all things should be*
til bowser showed up :(
offbeat 16ths and triplet transitions hrrrrnnnggg
Those off-sixteenths, though. Tight. You guys remind me of Gordon Goodwin's band with how precisely you do section stuff like that.
Thanks!! Those Gordon Goodwin charts I played in my high school band were a big influence on me, so hopefully this is my way of giving back the way he did with his charts to my musical vocabulary too!
Agreed.
Yes!! Agreed.
To be honest, that's the only part I DONT like. I feel like starting them off the beat but reconciling back on the beat would've worked better... but then again I'm just a high school jazz band dude who never took it further 😂
@@The8BitBigBand I hope he's heard your work because I think he'd approve.
Nice! Now I just gotta learn 15 other instruments
I was going to make a joke about everyone being able to play bass but this arrangement prove me so much wrong 😁
Just get a synth instead 👌
Have you considered releasing anymore scores? I would love to try out your arrangement of Still Alive with one of the bands I'm in.
Legends! We need more of these videos out there for students, any aspiring musician/composer and all round video game music lovers. Brilliant of you to do so and brilliantly performed! My hat off to all of you.
I see you're with the Guild, Thane. I think you'll find everything is quiet in Riften tonight. *wink*
THIEF
Yes! I can’t wait for you guys to upload the rest of the sheet music!
I'm just waiting for Still Alive tbh
How did you work out the licensing on this? I know this music is notoriously difficult to license.
Incredibly excited to play this for my high school jazz band this year. I’m on trumpet 1… hopefully i’m physically capable of playing it 😂
I’m playing lead on this, (i’m a junior in highschool) I don’t want to say I’m screwed but, I’m screwed 😀
Omg I gotta play trumpet 1 on this piece for my school jazz party😭 never had to play high notes above the staff like this.
That trumpet 8va up at the end... oh my LORD
I wish I was still in a band. This is some JUICY material. Props to you guys!
Join one! Freshen up those chops and get in there!!! 😊
I can't tell you how many DECADES it has been since my high school band classes, but I was still able to follow along with the music. Thanks for this! What fun!
1:46 Birdland vibes
Can we please take a moment to appreciate the tonewheel organ + leslie speaker that gives the B section of the melody a huge sense of openness?
Frickin WISH I could play that lead trumpet part lol
I can't believe you gave this for free. That is a sin, and I mean that in the best way possible 😦
B solo sec 1:45
I LOVE U CHARLIE AND UR BIG BAND, LITERALLY ILL MARRY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU
We're gonna need a very big house
@@The8BitBigBand LETS DO IT THEN :)
This arrangement has such huge Gordon Goodwin vibes and I am absolutely living for it
You should structure actual bass lines and give the piano more treble
2:36
YESSSSSSS!!!! My college jazz band can play it now!
Hope when they get back together, they could do a version of Want You Gone from Portal 2.
Your hopes are about to come true in the near future
2:48 for the bari solo if anyone is interested
Ugh, this stupid virus coming along means the band won't probably be doing anything for a big while.
Shame, there's no good Kirby big band arrangements anywhere. Jun Ishikawa and Hirozaku Ando's stuff is way too good to go uncovered by you guys!
I have good news for you I'm about to release TWO KIRBY ARRANGEMENTS. I'm sitting on a ton of new content, just took the summer off!
Thank you for sharing this !
Mario + Mardi Gras = MUCHO WASTED
YAAAAASSSSSS!!!!
(Guess what we're playing on our jazzschool bigband next year)
Thats what I was hoping people would do :)
@@The8BitBigBand Don't miss "reunion big band" next year then 😎 (From Musikene, Donostia). It will be nuts!!!! And you guys are awesome btw! Great arrangements, great playing, great everything. I got a lot of nostalgia for videogames too, but good quality content rocks! 😂🤘🏻
Yo we're proud of our cover of this song, but THIS right here should be the gold standard.
My high school jazz band is doing this, and I'm playing lead trumpet
fucking love that!!
J'adore cet arrangement super !!!!!!!!
im sending this to my band director asap
Please do this for all your music! That would be a blessing
G7alt? Someone want to explain that chord to me? 😅
It just means that if there are tensions on the chord (9s, 11s, or 13s) that they aren't natural, they're either flat or sharp. So it's really players choice if they wanna play b9 #9 #11 or b13, as long as it isn't the natural versions of those. Only altered tensions.
I have an arrangement question:
I'm trying to write an arrangement of this song myself. I initially wondered if I should write it in 4/4 with swung 16ths, but in looking at most other arrangements and transcriptions of this song, it's written in cut time with swung 8ths. That seemed like it'd be easier to read, so I went with that. But now I'm seeing that your arrangement uses swung 16ths. Is there a reason why you chose to write it that way?
Thank you!
Yeah I see people writing funk for big band in cut time but I never understood why. We’re feeling such a strong pulse in 4/4, and it would feel wrong to conduct in 2. Also, why be afraid of 16th notes everyone? They’re not that scary haha. Last but not least, cut time would be double the measures which would be double the page turns, double the paper, and double the formatting work! So in this genre and feel I choose 4/4
@@The8BitBigBand Thank you!!
cant make the bari sound bad
Thank you so much for this! I run a community big band and this is definitely going in our repertoire!
YES,time to practice
Nice
Oh my god. I arranged a version of bob-Omb battlefield based off your arrangement for my school’s jazz band, and it took me forever because you didn’t post the sheet music or anything for me to work off of so I had to arrange everything by ear. This video would’ve been so much help but now it’s too late
about what grade would this music be? in terms of music examinations and band difficulties
Hmm hard to say exactly, but I feel like a very skilled group of high school seniors or any decent college jazz program should be able to tackle it. Lead trumpet part might prove a little challenging though. The rhythm section parts aren’t written out so you need players that have the vocabulary to make up their own funky groove as well.
@@The8BitBigBand Okay, thanks. I was gonna give it to the Uni Conservatorium band i’m in. 👍🏻
That's hawt
So great! Thanks!
The LICK
I am hyped for all this sheet music 🎷
neat

Crazy high trumpet 1 playing up one octave at 3:32
The god Bryan Davis himself
This arrangement is a masterpiece
I love this one!!
This is so awesome! Please do it with more of your tunes!
Thank you so much from an aspiring composer! Great to get a chance to see the detail in the scoring :-D
This was already my absolut favorite cover of The Bob-omb Battlefield Theme. But to learn from this amazing arrangement by getting the sheet music is just like my birthday and christmas all together. Thank you soooo much!
Thank you thank you thank you! As a fan that’s been aching to play your music in my local big band, this is practically a dream come true! Thank you!
Oh man, that one-count delay that they do makes me so mad, but the rest of it is really good. I'm torn.
Thank you for the motivation to study. Such beautiful work!
Keep fighting the good fight Charlie. I’m really glad I found this channel.
This is incredible! Thank you for the look behind the scenes!
Thank you for uploading the music! This is fantastic and very much appreciated.
The one dislike is King Bob-omb.
👀
Look at that like to dislike ratio
yeah.. I mean it makes sense.
Very cool. Sheet music all legal to use?
Bro I just started transcribing this
Appreciate you releasing this. (:
This is the kind of video I wish I could give ten likes.
