Shovel Knight - Strike the Earth! Orchestral (NotePerformer 3)

- Composer: Jake Kaufman
Arranged by: Me
This isn't an 'overture' or 'medley' or something like that... After two or more years, again it is a boredom-induced work and as is seen not a serious project. I used Sir Kaufman's original melodic lines with additional rythmic patterns and just orchestrated it. In orchestration, I used standart classical orchestra setup and instrumentation (3[III=picc].2.2.2 - 4.2.3.1 - timp.perc(5) - cel - strings). In short; no electronics, non-standart instruments or gadgets, just 'classical' ones. And yes, all parts are playable, so don't worry.
Made with Sibelius Ultimate (v2021) & Noteperformer (v3.3.2). No DAW or third-party plugins used (because I don't know how to use them... yeah, I'm an old-schooler with a pen and paper, and be glad about it).
All the praise goes to Yacht Club Games and Mr. Kaufman's creativity and hard work!
Enjoy...
P.S. Forgive me for not sharing PDF or XML files, you know the reason... Please accept my apologies in advance.
Wish there was more, this sounds phenomenal.
Beautiful music!
Amazing traditional orchestration! Best orchestral version of this theme, hands down (but you already know that...). I'm also very surprised of the performance quality of NotePerformer (which I never tried). I'm on my way doing a piano solo arrangement of it ; it's coming soon...
Why this version hasn't got more views is a riddle for the ages. When I envisioned an orchestral remix of this song, what you put in pretty much nails what I had in mind!
That said, I have two suggestions that I think would help catapult this already-phenomenal piece to even greater heights:
1) For the transitions at 1:19 and 2:47 (which is its repeat), a gong hit (or a crash cymbal of some sort) would help punctuate the transition.
2) Using Bassoons and/or Oboes instead of the harsher Brass Section for the "echoing" notes at 1:23, 1:28, 2:52 and 2:56 would, at least in my mind, contrast the flutes (I think?) and bells better.
Just my thoughts. At any rate, still an amazing piece to listen to, and I hope many more come and listen!
You are very talentuous ! Do you work in the domain of music ? If yes do you have a platform where I can listen to your work ?
This has gotta be my favorite Shovel Knight remix I've heard. Would you consider doing other songs in the series? I have a few in mind that I specifically want to see that haven't yet been done.
Thank you very much for your kind words; no promises, but I love the game and could do some orchestrations of course, if I have time.
