goddess - laufey but it's a dci ballad

brass & percussion arr. by nopal (this is my first full arrangement!)
(Piano arr. by Arne Perschel)

[Aikyu]

This just feels like a phantom regiment ballad

[wallyt_games]

Omg I can just imagine Carolina Crown playing this and just putting an insane amount of emotion and power into this, PUT THIS IN A SHOW THIS INSTANT!!

[Stonkzy]

Love the way this is arranged! Sounds like a mix of Great Gig in the Sky (especially in the beginning) and Creep

[michaelmoon]

This has early 2010’s Blue Devils written all over it

[Frenchbeemusic]

that hit gave me the same feeling that i felt when i watched bluecoats 2011 creep arrangement for the first time (the reason i am now a nerd)

[OmegaWaffle]

I now listen to laufey because of this, this is a great arrangement

[Dj-rekv]

This is beautifully done, and made me oddly nostalgic to when goddess came out originally. I'm impressed with all of the parts, but I will recommend Muse Sounds, a soundfont created by musescore to make arrangements sound like an actual performance. Throughout both my and my friends arrangements, I always feel the default sound undermines the composition, and I think the new soundfonts would make it even better. Wether you chose to try them or not, this is an awesome arrangement.

IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE MALLET AND BELLS PART???? This is like marching band level to perform. I would 100% play this as someone in front ensemble

[jayphonic]

never has something been made for me idek what to say I love it

[Jayce]

Nopal?!? I've been using your musescore stuff for so long, just now saw your Youtube. Awesome stuff, love your Brand New Chorale transcription!

[TheNameIsGamestar]

This is great! I think, per a typical DCI ballad, the full chord in the 6th to last measure should be a fermata before the soloist continues. Other than that, fantastic!

[ruthhutchison]

Phantom regiment would serve this ballad just like they did in 2023

[_canon]

The horns are so great! They remind me of halcyon hearts by katahj copley. I love the mallet perc, it's so dci in the best way possible. I think the drumline could use work, and you should put this all into musesounds! This is insane for your first piece, I wish I could write some stuff like that.

MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS THIS IS SO GOOD WTF

[HenryFSmithMusic]

this is awesome! genuine question, why didn't you arrange it in 12/8 if almost everything is triplet based?

[DaRealWilliam]

This would sounds so much better with muse sounds and virtual drumline and percussion this is so cool

[ratinfestation]

I need to hear this brought to life in reality 😭

[cookiesandtea]

I keep coming back here. I can easily imagine this cover on the field it's so pretty

[xaviergolestani]

AAA I LOVE THISSSS. I would put in 12/8 tho so its a bit easier to read

[ct]

saw this gem on my FYP, been obsessed with it as a trumpet player and tried playing some of the parts in it, still working on my range tho. i’ve shared this to some of my upper class men as well and they enjoy the score as well!

this score is beautiful and reflects well with the theme of a ballad. i hope a corp small or big can perform this piece on a field one day to see how much emotion they can invoke in someone, great job arranging this!
