Star Wars paraphrase played by Finale
on: April 10, 2006, 11:46:13 AM
hey people,

I posted in the repertoire topics a few pages of my new Star Wars parafrase (John Williams meets Liszt)

I'm currently studying it, but it's quite long (about 11')
For the curious people here's a version played by my computer... the first 4 pages you can find in the repertoire topic.

Comments greatly appreciated (on the piece plz, not on the playing quality -> it is a computer!!)

Grtz, Joost

wait.. who composed it??

by the sound of it, you did. coz it says "MY new Star Wars... "

but then, how can you be studying it?

I like it, though.

absolutely brilliant!!!  :D i've been wanting to do that for over a year but have never been able to get it started. i got the john williams book but it was really very basic. this was really great. please publish it fast so that i can get a copy and start working on it. it needs to be speeded up a bit, but its awesome!!! CONGRATS.  :D

Have you got the last section of star wars episode 3 revenge of the sith,if you listen to classic fm (England) you will know what I mean :)

Its such a long piece but brilliant in every way. Perhaps you can tell

By the way I loved it.

Try it on a digital with orchestral settings; I am amazed you did this so so so so good.


I absollutely love star wars by the way :)

You are totaly capable of reproducing the entire sound track (layer upon layer) :)

Now the only question which remains is are you a bigger Star Wars fan than me ;D

as I said, live performance will follow soon (end of may). midi was just to give a sounding idea. I'm practicing it but for the moment my attention has to go to some very nice (i'm being sarcastic here) serial contemporary works ...cough (ugly) cough.... :) which I have to play in the beginning of may.

I like starwars, gorbee, but I like other movie soundtracks as well, so let me announce upcoming transcriptions of Alladin and the Godfather.... anyone got other idea's? I'd like to try to make a whole recitalpart (so +- 40 min) with movietranscriptions;

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
