1. Didja accidentally blow through the whole, "We're using our real names" thing on registration? No problem, just send me (Mike) a Conversation message and I'll get you sorted, by which I mean hammered-into-obedient-line because I'm SO about having a lot of individuality-destroying, oppressive shit all over my forum.

Studying Joe Hisaishi's Magnificent Orchestration!

Discussion in 'Score Study Resources' started by Abdulrahman Al-Othman, Feb 17, 2019.

  1. Is there a My Neighbour Totoro full orchestral suite available in notation? I haven't had luck finding any. I'd love some transcription material.
     
  2. Song List (8 songs)
    • Stroll (Sampo) [The Opening Song] - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • The Village in May (Gogatsu no Mura) - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • Soot sprites (Susuwatari)~Okaasan - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • Totoro ga ita! - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • Path Of The Wind (Kaze no Toorimichi) - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • A Lost Child (Maigo) - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • A cat bus (Nekobasu) - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
    • My Neighbor Totoro - My Neighbor Totoro / Joe Hisaishi
     
  3. Full orchestra? Is it official, and/or from a particular concert?
     
  4. Yes, it is the full orchestral score for the movie Totoro. It is official.
     
  5. Mind giving a link? I can find a boatload of arrangements for concert band or the like, but nothing official, at least here in Canada.
     
  6. Holy crap. Ordered!

  7. Thank you!

    Ah, well that explains it. Amazon.ca kind of sucks.

  9. Nice! I never thought to search “orchestra full score” on amazon... works way better than browsing Sheet Music Plus.

  10. Hey, thanks!
     
  11. Is this your transcription by ear ?
     
  12. I have this score, I'm pretty sure it's a semi-"official" version.
     
  13. Probably best to share those things via PM,dropbox, or other means. IMO

    It's more "fair use" if its one's own take down, as that person put in the hard yards.
    Plus it's more about the craft of transcriptions and it's artform.

  14. Actually, you're right, it must be a transcription. Not in Japanese, has a key signature rather than accidentals, etc.
