Includes The Countdown Begins, You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet, J-E-N-O-V-A
I'm sorry for all those FF7 fans that know that these might not be in any kind of order.  I still have to add dynamics to the whole thing, so ignore the fact the the whole song is kinda loud.
Instrument Parts:

Wind Instruments

• Picollo
• Flute 1/2
• Clarinet 1/2
• Alto Sax 1/2
• Mellophone 1
• Trumpet 1/2/3 *optional Trumpet Solo*
• Baritone 1
• Trombone 1
• Tuba 1

Percussion Instruments

• Snare
• Cymbol (Traveling)

Pit Percussion Instruments

• Mallets
• Timpani
• Cymbol
• Guitar
• Electric Piano (Keyboard)

I know that the end is a bit weird, but I'm going to fix it.  and make it a bit less... chaotic?  Okay Here it is...
The Countdown Begins (The Opener)

[A Forgotten Legend]

I didn't add as much as I thought I would  Well here is the complete version of They Have Come.

[Boba_Fettuccini]

Well, I'd like some outside opinions on this peice. I hope you dont mind if I use your thread....

This is a song I constructed to paly with my games trailer, which will be released in early summer most likely... note that the style changes rapidly, but that is because of some of the parts of the trailer...

[A Forgotten Legend]

You should add some dynamics.  Make it loud when the Orchestral Hits come in, and softer when the flute comes in.  I haven't really been using them in my stuff lately because either I'm working on it, or it was practice.  In order to say anything more about the song itself, I'd have to see your video clip or what ever your using.  Anyway, I think you have something going with the parts you had a flute in it, but the Orchestral hits seemed to be too repetitive.  They sounded fine with how you used them, but use that for when you are making songs for future reference.  Sorry if I was too critical, I'm not a big fan of Orchestral hits.  It would probably work from the sounds of what you were talking about in the post you made.


(That was a long post for me... I hope I won't do that too much...)

[Boba_Fettuccini]

Thanks for the review!
I would do Dynamics if I knew how :S

What program do you use to make midis?

[A Forgotten Legend]

I use noteworthy composer.

[Boba_Fettuccini]

Dang, this noteworthy looks AWSOME! But thers no way I'mpaying $40 for it. *sigh* I guess i'll have to put up with not being able to do dynamics and junk.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I haven't bought, I'm still using th trial version.  there is no limit on how many days you can use the trial.


Well, I have finished the ballad of my FF7 show.  Here is the info on it:
Final Fantasy 7
Part 2
Aeris's Theme (is it Aeris or Aerith?)
I'm sorry for all those FF7 fans that I don't know which one is which, (one is KH the other FF but which one?!?!).
Instrument Parts:

                   Wind Instruments

-Picollo

-Flute 1/2 *optional Flute 2 solo*

-Clarinet 1/2

-Alto Sax 1/2

-Mellophone 1/2

-Trumpet 1/2/3

-Baritone 1/2

-Trombone 1/2

-Tuba 1/2

                   Percussion Instruments

-Snare

-Tenor Drums

-Bass Drums

                   Pit Percussion Instruments

-Mallets

-Timpani

-Electric Bass

-Electric Piano (Keyboard)

     This one sounds a bit better than the last one.  There is a sour note towards the beginning, but that is just because it is a half-note but it holds it for some reason... Well, here you go,
Aeris's Theme (The Ballad)

[Boba_Fettuccini]

by the way, one of the puposes of my thread was for other people to post thier stuff too, so you don't have to ask to post.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I added a new part to Sierra's Theme!!!  It was originally from a song I called Strings (practice one), but i liked it so much i added it!  I just called the new one String Ensemble.

[A Forgotten Legend]

for instrument parts, go to the earlier post.  only, there is no flute 2 solo.  there is a clarinet 2 one though.
same as earlier FF7 opener, only used a different song for the end of it.  i added some dynamics, and tempo changes as well.
Replaced J-E-N-O-V-A with Battle Theme  (i don't know what else to say about it.  just listen.  (i need to fix the end note as well.)

[A Forgotten Legend]

here it is.  I renamed it Strings, but it was Hero('s) Death or something like that.  I changed some notes, made the ocean sounds louder, ect.
Anyway, i want some opinions.  Should I keep the current instruments, or go with a viola and a contrabass(?), I can't decide.  .  Oh well.
