A Little Fall Of Rain Les Miserables Authentic Orchestral Karaoke Instrumental KaraokeJoeful 2013-04-05 | Get the mp3 files at my NEW SITE: http://www.karaokejoeful.comThis was a very tender piece to create. The intricacies in the woodwinds are the most detailed in the entire show. It was fun to craft them. This is a tragic and beautiful moment, and the flute mirrors the tenderness that Marius feels toward Eponine, even though it's not the 'love' that she wishes it was. Eponine lives (and dies) for this moment. Finally, ending up in Marius' arms, she is content to die just like this. She tries to appear tough, but in reality she is and always has been fragile like a flower. The rain, which is a theme for Eponine (In 'On My Own', walking alone in the rain) and it echoes the tragedy of her life, and in this moment, this rain and tragedy will no longer hurt her. It will only make the flowers grow.If you use this, please post your recording as a video response!

Red And Black (ABC Cafe) Les Miserables Authentic Orchestral Karaoke Instrumental KaraokeJoeful 2013-03-23 | Get the mp3 files at my NEW SITE: http://www.karaokejoeful.comThis one contains one of the most iconic (and a favorite of mine) phrases: "It is time for us all to decide who we are. Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?"There are two sections in this, that are in opera terms, known as a "recitative" (or a "recit"). It follows the format of a traditional Baroque recit with a rolled harpsichord type sound, and a bass (in this case, a bowed cello). The timing of music in a recit is usually determined by the singer, and the orchestra follows. As this isn't really a possibility with a pre-recorded track, I've done my best to use timings that felt natural, allowed moments for dramatic pause and character acting. I tried to follow the timing of the anniversary concerts. If you use this, please post your recording as a video response!

Suddenly Les Miserables Authentic Orchestral Karaoke Instrumental KaraokeJoeful 2013-03-19 | Get the mp3 files at my NEW SITE: http://www.karaokejoeful.comBy popular demand. Suddenly, from the Les Miserables film. This was added to the film as a completely new song.This one was interesting, because the orchestrations for this aren't as developed and well-known as the rest of the show. So, I mostly composed a string arrangement to go along with the piano. It's also the only track in Les Mis that has a full piano part. This song touches on a key point that is in the book; two unhappy souls can come together and make one happy human being.If you use this, please post your recording as a video response!

Broadway / recording quality.This is the point at which Fantine's luck (already suffering) runs out. The viciousness of poverty drives the women to turn against her; to be the proverbial "Tigers" who tear her life apart. Her crime was falling in love with a man who left her, and her daughter Cosette to fend for themselves. Mixed with this, is a frustrated foreman who turns on Fantine because she repels his advances. And finally, the tragedy of a little oversight from Valjean, who doesn't recognize the situation being as bad as it is (asking the ladies to "settle down", and he turns away as Fantine is subsequently thrown out.Les Miserables by Alain Boublil, Claude Michel Schoenberg, Herbert Kretzmer, Jean-Marc Natel
EPIC Orchestral Cover Red Hands Walk off the Earth by KaraokeJoeful(Glen Rhodes) KaraokeJoeful 2013-03-07 | I am a big fan of fellow Canadian group," Walk off the Earth" (WOTE), and saw they were asking people to create a cover of their new single "Red Hands".

I enjoy producing the most realistic sounding renditions of orchestral music. This version of "Confrontation" is incredibly authentic and has an absolutely realistic orchestral sound. Broadway / recording quality.In the moments after Fantine's death, Javert arrives to arrest Valjean. They have a standoff, where they passionately speak their convictions. The message behind this song is that, at this point, they are unwilling to listen to each other, evidenced by the way they sing overtop of each other. This theme reprises the chords and structure of the opening prologue theme, "Look Down". The vocals begin VERY quickly in this - there are only 4 beats of music (to give pitch reference), and Javert begins to confront Valjean.Enjoy.

I enjoy producing the most realistic sounding renditions of orchestral music. This version of "Stars" is incredibly authentic and has an absolutely realistic orchestral sound. Broadway / recording quality.While Valjean has the prayer "Bring Him Home", this song is Javert's prayer. Javert's strength is also his curse; he cannot see beyond the black and white belief that there exists only "right" and "wrong", as it is written on the doorways to paradise. This is why Valjean represents such a dilemma to him; because Valjean does things that are so just, and so righteous, also in the name of God - but Javert cannot allow himself to get past his straightforward duty. In this song, he prays to God for help finding Valjean. He uses the stars as an analogy of that which is steady, predictable and reliable, as he sees himself. Enjoy.

Broadway / recording quality.This is Valjean's prayer to God for the safety of Marius in the coming battle. He sees in Marius what he once was himself, many years earlier. Sing this in almost a whisper of falsetto, that builds toward the middle, and comes back to pianissimo for the end.This track is molto rubato, so there are areas where the tempo is steady, and there are areas where there are holds, like the orchestra is breathing along with the singer. Make sure to learn those musical breaks and overall timing to create the best performance possible.Enjoy. This level of realism takes a painstaking amount of time and effort.

Broadway / recording quality.This has been one of my favorites to create, as it's so subtle and soft on the dynamics. Great meticulous care went into the strings. The goal of the music (and of vocal performance) is to create that sense and sound of fragility. These are Fantine's dying words; a mix of confusion, desperation and beauty. Valjean's role is to guide her gently into that dark and final sleep, reassuring her that he will take care of Cosette, while also balancing the fact that he knows he doesn't have much time as Javert is on his way to arrest him.Enjoy.

Broadway / recording quality.This is the very opening of the show. It begins with the opening notes, and has about a 55 second intro before any singing begins. The chorus then sings through the intentionally labored sounding "uh uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh" for two verses before the lyrics begin. I've included a moving bar to indicate where and when to sing. I wanted to do this one because I love the sound of the opening of the show.Enjoy.

Broadway / recording quality.This rendition will require several voices, or at least a male and female voice to sing the leads in multiple tracks. Because this is a full cast song, several parts overlap, especially near the end when Valjean, Eponine, Cossette, Marius, Javert and the Thenardiers are all singing at once. To learn these parts I recommend you listen to a cast recording or the 10th/25th anniversary cast performances.Enjoy. This level of realism takes a painstaking amount of time and effort.

This version of "On My Own" is incredibly authentic and has an absolutely realistic orchestral sound. Broadway / recording quality.The song begins with authentic orchestral sounds, but there are a few sections in the score that call for the use of a "synthesizer" keyboard pad sound. Specifically heard as the underscore behind the first verse of the main song "On my own, pretending ..." etc. This is intended to sound synthy, and the real strings come in at the second verse.

Les Miserables Finale (Epilogue) Karaoke / instrumental KaraokeJoeful 2011-04-12 | Get the mp3 files at my NEW SITE: http://www.karaokejoeful.comThe final section of the smash hit musical Les Misérables, known as the Epilogue. It begins with Jean Valjean alone, singing to himself, at the end of his days, counting the hours until he can sleep. His daughter, Cosette rushes in to see him, on this night; her wedding night to Marius. In this song all is revealed to Cosette about her past: Her mother, Fantine, and Valjean's true role in this tale. Marius also states his revelation in the understanding that Valjean had saved his life on the night he was wounded on the barricade. The ghosts of Fantine and Eponine return, to take Valjean home, as his lifelong promise has been fulfilled. As they are passing into the next world, all of the fallen reprise "Do you hear the people sing?" in a glorious finale that rings out with words of the end to bloodshed, putting away the sword, and earning their reward in heaven.This is my personal favorite part of the entire show, I meticulously put this together by ear, dissecting each moment, listening for each instrument of the orchestra, and what it does at different times. I'm really happy with how this turned out, sound wise, it's very accurate, and sounds very realistic. Better, I think, than the few other instrumental versions on YouTube. The video synchronizes the lyrics in a scrolling fashion - it's important that you know what the melody is, and what to sing when. There are some tricky parts, for example Cosette and Marius' entry.Also, there are some interestingly timed bars of music in 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4.. When Eponine returns, she sings along with Fantine, but sings in harmony. The final line "To love another person is to see the face of God"... rings out, while the chorus comes in. To guide the timing during what is actually a completely choral section, there is a quiet snare drum hit on beats 1 and 3, with a slight roll on 4. The words "Do you hear the people sing..." would be sung such that the word "Hear" falls on the first guide snare - "Do you" are a pickup. Once the Cello starts, it becomes easier to follow along.This is a large ensemble piece, so though Karaoke is traditionally for 1, this could be cast for 30.. During the 2 1/2 bars of "Ahhhhhh" before the final "Tomorrow comes", the harmonies are tricky. The three chords are basically: Ab7sus4(no 5)Gm/AbDbm/AbAnd on the word "comes!", Ab.All built from SATB, where the bass has the Ab.Enjoy!Les Miserables by Alain Boublil, Claude Michel Schoenberg, Herbert Kretzmer, Jean-Marc Natel
