pretty close, my only question is why did you write it in double time, imagine counting the song off, you would rather be like 1,2,3,4 at 80 bps instead of 1--------2---------3--------4 and have them play it at 130 bps,,,,,, those numbers are estimates, but im sure you understand, im subbing though, this is an interesting channel, and i arrange as well, so its cool to see you arranging by ear. keep up the good work
Hey (sorry for the late response) but that's a great question. I wrote like that because that's just how I heard it, plus I usually do that to avoid using a lot of measures (opting for more complex rhythms). I do this for a lot of my arrangements, but you're the first to notice. Thank you for your support. And you do some amazing work as well. I love watching clips on channels like yours and others. It's a refreshing take on hbcu marching band music in general, and it helps people like me who are arrangers.
@@toclxdjay973 Yes and No--I was close though. I actually spoke with someone who was in the band this past season. He confirmed that I was pretty close, but their written music has many more nuances and/or advanced notation (at times). There's also the fact that any parts performed could be different from the music -i.e. adding extra notes/taking away notes, change of phrasing, etc. Thanks for asking. I myself was curious to see how close I could get to that style, as I marched in CIAA at ECSU. I just love all styles of writing and want to learn different composing/arranging styles in order to grow.
Yes I am aware of that. I wanted to see how I would do attempting to write using a different approach. I myself write in a different style, so this is an attempt to branch out and try something new. Thanks for listening!
