Zelda - Kaepora Gaeboras Theme (for clarinet trio)

~*~*~*~*~*~
There's a number of wonderful covers of Westward Tide (The Ruby Sea night theme) out there, but not much in the way of the daytime version. Of course, the day theme features a clarinet for the melody, so I am terribly biased and it's been on my To-Do list for years since I first found my way there during Stormblood. Finally the stars aligned, and I knew just what Warrior of Light to tag in to handle the piano part! Major props to Ostil for once again turning the nonsense I write for piano into something spectacular ✨ It's just such a bop!
Despite our best efforts, we learned when trying to record that the piccolo needs a field trip to the shop so I busted out everyone's favorite "we have piccolo at home" - the sopranino recorder! The color worked pretty well all things considered (though please never ask me to perform that part live without the magic of punching in takes)
Also big shoutouts to the following video which was a huge help in trying to write out the sheets - boy howdy did these chords get funky! I'd be lying if I said I understand all the theory 100% but I couldn't have gotten this done without this reference 🤩 youtube.com/watch?v=j9beKzbjXQE

From Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Composed by Michiru Yamane
Arranged for 2 Clarinets and Piano
⭐️ Featuring special guest @endlessrepeat on Piano! ⭐️
Gosh why are Castlevania songs so great but I am so bad at the games??? As soon as I heard this track I fell in love, even though I'd never in a million years stand a chance even getting into the castle if I was to play the game (sorry Dracula your house is too scary) Due to scheduling issues, it's just clarinets this time around. But goodness gracious I really just adore this theme and love how the arrangement came out and the interplay between the three parts.
For those keeping track at home, this was indeed done on the A clarinet - not as much due to the key the piece is in (though that certainly was a pleasant side effect) but so I could reach that low concert C# yeah we bringing out the l o w b o i s this month.
Big props to endlessrepeat for once again joining in for the shenanigans I come up with!
So as a certified non-Castlevania player, I was surprised to learn this was actually stage music and not used in a cutscene or something more calm. Apparently it's stages that are bizarro land (?) - this plays in the Reverse Caverns and the Anti-Chapel, and Reverse Castle's Forbidden Library. I didn't think the playthroughs matched the vibe so this is the rare cover with no gameplay footage.

I don't know what else there is to say about this piece. If you're a gamer of a certain age, this tune has absolutely been engraved upon your soul in the 80s/90s. If we did a 3rd loop I suspect we would have been in violation of international peace treaties.
You knew what you were in for when you clicked this and I hope we met your expectations.

Definitely an all time favorite track, but also one we knew we had to pull in some friends to make it shine! Can you tell we got some Earthbound/Mother series super fans involved 😸
I modified the synth part to be playable by non computers (or non virtuosos, look we're just normal people haha) and gave it some counters and harmonies to make it our own cover.
Shoutouts to the guitar and drum solos, and all that cool trumpet falls and hits that I don't really understand but this is why I love having lots of musician friends 🥰

I have wanted to cover this piece for like 20 years, finally had an excuse to do it. This is specifically based on the Distant Worlds arrangement (look I just really wanted to play that viola/cello line) and reduced for a chamber trio. Definitely a bit of a challenge when it comes to some of those crunchier chords with limited voices but we made it work! It was also my first time putting in so many subtle tempo changes which wasn't as much of a pain to mix as I feared (but made the sheet music a bit of a disaster at first)
This piece is one of my all time favorite video game themes for a reason, and I hope we did it justice.
PS don't forget to say hi to super duper special guest Cozy the pupper 🥰

This stage is absolutely how casinos IRL work just trust me.
Composed by Masato Nakamura, it's a clarinet trio version of an absolute banger of a Sonic tune (even though I don't think I ever got this far look video games are hard and we were not a Sega household)
I never intended to upload this arrangement, but our original plan for the month fell through due to illness and injury ;__; Time to dip into the Unreleased Track Zone (Stage 1) and clean it up and send out into the internet! It was definitely fun to play that's for sure and boy howdy are there some really cool Sonic tunes out there.
Once again 🙏 to vizzy.io for the visualizer - no dice on recorded video since I pretty much ignored the bass clarinet part I wrote myself oops.
Also thank u clipchamp for letting me put silly gifs into videos ezpz.
yes I've since gotten my clarinet serviced so it's not as redonkulously clacky

Not only is Super Mario RPG a fabulous game, it also gives us this total banger of a boss theme featuring low clarinet (biased? maybe) Or at least on the original OST, the remake jazzes it up but please don't take this away from me low clarinet gets like, 3 tracks in VGM 😅 Still can't wait to play the remake - just borrowed it from my library!
I've had this arrangement in the works for years, well before the remake was announced so it's modeled on the original, but only in the last few months really started bringing it all together (oops totally missed the remake release hype wave.) Anyone who's familiar with this channel can tell the instrumentation is definitely not our usual, but we have some talented friends to help out!

So we actually originally planned to cover this track back at the end of 2021 but much of the original audio recordings got corrupted/lost. Not to worry as this time around the arrangement is ever better! Flute takes the lead but we give the clarinet a little time to shine, all brought together with that island vibe on the guitar.
Leann and Alyssa had played this in person years ago - perhaps they'll get a chance to perform it live again soon!!
Due to the nature of how we recorded this, couldn't do a video like usual but boy howdy are we 2 for 2 for March Zelda track uploads with custom icon visualizer models 🤣 once again bless vizzy.io for making it looks like we know how to do fancy video stuff.

What a fabulous fun little piece to close out 2023 and one of the shining stars of low clarinet features in video game music. Always wanted to cover this piece and knew we had to tag in some friends to really do it justice 🥰
The instrumentation and arrangement is pretty close to the original (the flutes and piccolos filling in for muted trumpet) not drawing so much from the remake's version. And for those of you keeping score at home, the clarinet melody does dip below what actually exists on the instrument (and I didn't want the timbre of going over the break on bass clarinet) so bless Melodyne pitch correction.

We've actually been sitting on this arrangement for a full year - who would have thought having an at the time 1 month old baby would make it difficult to record 😅 This piece was both lots of ensemble parts to line up and very exposed solo bits, making it a bit of a challenge to mix but a heck of a fun ride.

I actually had the idea for combining these two tracks from these two amazing composers for years but never got around to until now! Luckily they really were pretty similar structurally and an easy transposition away to having the components for a really nifty mashup. I wanted to make sure the flute and clarinet parts both got equal chances with the melody from each game, with the constant of the piano part to hold down the fort as they danced between the two motifs.
Of course, the downside to actually doing this is that these two pieces are now completely intermingled in my brain.

Absolutely a classic tune that I've wanted to cover for a long time. The arrangement itself is very simple and based heavily on the official piano book with some fleshing out. The clarinet part in particular was designed to represent Delita (with a little nod to his and Ovelia's themes at the end) to contrast with Ramza's flute melody. And of course, I knew what knight would be perfect to tag in to perform the piano part itself!

⭐️ Featuring special guest @SerrinsToes on Drums! ⭐️
As you probably guessed if you ever clicked anything else on this channel, this is a HUGE style departure for us and took an awful long time to finalize the arrangement (and even then, I wound up adding some extra clarinet backing parts while recording and leaving other sections on the cutting room floor) We're super happy with out it came out, and maybe we'd try another jazzy piece in the future now that we have a better handle on writing for it and what works/didn't.
Mega props to Serrin who ignored my dumpster fire of a placeholder drum part and ran with "well think big band except more like a small band because it's a handful of flutes and clarinets and a bass clarinet doot doot bass line" and came out with a fantastic groove!
Also an excuse for more animal stock footage. And cucco disaster reels.

This theme has always been a personal favorite and super nostalgic, so we were really happy to have a chance to tackle it. The main melody alternates between flute and unspecified low wind instrument in the original Playstation which slotted very nicely on the bass clarinet. We kept pretty close to the original but added our usual woodwind counters and accents and having each instrument trade off at the end.
Teamed up with Sean once more for some piano and he did such a wonderful job too!

We were going through Deltarune tunes to cover for this month and this track was a clear winner, and we weren't going to let a little thing such as "not being a string section to handle 100+ measures of offbeats" get in our way for busting out a woodwind ensemble.
There's an awful lot of repetition in the original so we leaned into the layering over the iterations and added some extra bits to really highlight our instrumentation makeup and the tone over each instruments' range (in particular got to bust out some low flute!)
Being it's a forest theme we opted to film outside which had it's own perks (dogs!!!!) and downsides (bees!!!!!!)
For those keeping score at home yes this was done on A clarinet also it's very clear someone is too short for bass clarinet to reach all the LH keys and can't alternate properly 🙃

This is an arrangement that's been on the backburner for a while but had the opportunity for this month's @PixelMixers contest theme of 3DS games to finally get it in gear! And when it came to Zelda piano parts I knew I had to ask Lucas to join in - and wow what a wonderful job he did!
While primarily a flute melody, the clarinet was written to support and give it a little flip (much like the source game!) when taking over the main line. I wanted to keep that hauntingly lovely feel throughout.
No recorded video (going on vacation in a few days and wouldn't have the time!) so video courtesy of vizzy.io

I may have mentioned it before but we played a loooooot of Donkey Kong Country growing up, and this track is such a banger. It's really a clarinet and bass clarinet feature (I've wanted to play these parts for literal decades) and boy oh boy were the parts fun to play. We knew we needed some extra oomph with a piano part and teamed up with someone else who clearly had good taste in SNES games!

Woodwind Quartet arrangement of Title Theme, vs. All-Stars, vs. USSR
Composed by Kazuo Sawa
~*~*~*~
This month's theme was your first video game! As someone who is 30 or 40 years old and had been play video games since she could hold a Nintendo controller I couldn't say which was the first one specifically but could point to a bunch that were among the selection I had access to. Super Dodge Ball was probably the first one I beat because it let you set it to easy mode 😅
The music in this game goes WAY harder than it has any right to - comparisons to Mega Man and Touhou came up during the arranging and recording process. Seriously check out the rest of the OST it's a banger.
I didn't realize until way way later on the USSR match theme was the folk song Katyusha, and of course since it was the late 80s they changed the order you took on each country for the US localization due to the Cold War, so the USSR was the final team to defeat because anything else would be unpatriotic and we have to show communism what's what.
Also as a life long NYC metro area resident I don't think any part of the skyline + statue of liberty works that way 🤔

Unlike some of our other tracks, Deku Palace is perfect for woodwind melody -idiomatic and very fun to play! And adding in rhythm guitar along with tambourine accents and the tom-tom drums to hold down the fort made it such a delightful folksy piece!

Final Fantasy 6 sure has lots of really cool character themes! Doing a direct cover wouldn't suit our instrumentation but that's where the magic of arranging comes in! The main melody was perfect on flute, while we switched over to low clarinet in the lead for the major section. Add some light noodle doodles to taste and enjoy!
This somehow got 10k+ views on the tik tok app how???
But there's something to be said about live performances, warts and lack of sleep and all, right?

We definitely have things in the works that we just couldn't get the timing to work out for this month, so stay tuned for more woodwind shenanigans and getting back on our bullshit 😄

We were absolutely the target age range when this series came out, and this song in particular goes right to the nostalgia bone. This arrangement is a hybrid of the instrumental/orchestral version and the original anime opening to play to our instruments' strengths. It won't match the classic opening animation but still is a sweet trip down memory lane.
Also did you know the first season is free to watch on Youtube? Wow!!!
All the images are either original manga or anime promo art, some of which came from a website last updated almost exactly *twenty years ago*
Also called "Protecting My Devotion" depending on translation.
For Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 3 Clarinets, Bass Clarinet
Composed by Nobuo Uematsu
We had this FF9 piece arranged just as a flute + clarinet duet from our MAGFest hallway doot days and finally got to expand it! Wow! The combo of Beatrix's theme Rose of May with Steiner's instrumentation is so fantastic and fitting for this part of the game.
Video did not go quiiiite as planned yet again this month so um, just use your imagination to visualize more instruments and parts on the screen than actually appear 😅

Tressa is such a great character and her theme is so fitting to her, I fell in love with it even before playing the game! The original splits between harmonica (melodica?) and clarinet and already is so wonderful - but given there's two of us woodwind players there was definitely room to add some more pizazz once we switched it to flute!
The piece is such a treasure, so fun to play!
Three cheers for Ostil doing a fabulous job with the piano as always and adding in some ✨ merchant magic ✨ to the original sheets!
Also yes it's clear that we don't understand how shadows work and also also it was a bug party when recording video outside oops.
