Sheet music now available. NO, this isn't supposed to sound "real". It's a quick MIDI mockup based on(*) an attempt at reconstructing this particular part of Murray Gold's brilliant score for Doctor Who, as orchestrated by Ben Foster.
If anyone should have come past this without already owning the original, it's on the Series 3 soundtrack:
US: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/doct...
UK: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/doct...
So, the goal is "sheet music" for this piece by Murray Gold, not a recreation of the sound of it. Also, this is done "for fun"/learning, not in order to actually perform it.
The reconstruction isn't done either, so there'll be bits and pieces (instruments, articulations, bowing) missing and probably wrong notes. Just a quick test to show this to someone who was interested (so nope, the video wasn't intended to look good either ;-))
VERSION 2 (or the "There seems to be something distinctly wrong with the cymbals. I can feel it" version):
- More accurate string section assignments - and better strings balancing (in most places)
- Added oboes, wind chimes, some more harp - still to do: clarinets especially
- Moved the solo from oboe to the English horn (knew oboe was wrong, just never remembered to move it) - still unison doubled by bassoon, as it should be.
- Added a lot of bowing instructions on the strings.
- Added a (new?) bassoon phrase heard on the (botched) Proms 2010 broadcast, but turned its dynamic way down, since I'm not sure I like it at all.
- Audio constant gain normalized - to make it fit the volume level of other videos better.
- Lots of minor adjustments, especially in terms of dynamics.
- Fixed a few video issues.
- Somehow managed to screw up the instrument used for the suspended cymbal - sounds too loose now. Can't be bothered to fix it at the moment. Hence the version title.
*) Well, actually, it's exactly what Sibelius spews out when playing back the score as written.
