SOTM June 2017 - Game of Thrones

[rhysonsax]

The sax quartet I play baritone in had one of our irregular get togethers this morning. In between coffee, birthday cake and politics we had a go at the arrangement of Game of Thrones and I recorded it with my Zoom H2n.

here's mine...mainly uploaded as a warning that if you're going to record a sax quartet on your own, don't forget to tune them all up first... there is some NASTY tuning in here.

this is the Ben Henriques arrangement from youtube, but I added some cajon and guitar in too.

I like it. It's really good to hear the very different versions coming out from one tune.

I think this song is perfect for sax groups, certainly works well.

Another interesting and different take. We may not have the numbers this month, but we do have a lot of variety

As we enter the final week, I have to apologise for not being such an active host this month. A few of you saw the work I was doing tidying up the roof of one side of my stables...well, it turning into replacing the roof...then it turned into replacing the wall...then if turned into replacing the foundations currently looks like this

Just wanted to say thanks to @Tiberius for giving us a great tune to play this month and to each person that has posted a version. I was surprised some of the more classical minded players didn't jump in and give this a try
Next month has been sorted and it's doing to be very different

Thanks again everyone

Chris..

Thanks Chris, I have to apologise a bit for being less active than usual this month, my stables are taking quite a lot of my time (yeah, money too ...a £500 repair has somehow morphed into something like a £30K re-build).

Back to this, I must admit I did expect more posts that we got, but we did at least have some variety, that was good to hear.

I suggested some changes to the thread to Chris, hopefully to encourage more participants in future; judging by the post above, I suspect Chris may be including some of my ideas into a new plan; all I can do is promise to participate next month...if I my recordings can be heard over the sound of diggers (yeah, we're down to 'foundations' now).

On a positive not, the new replacement 'stables' are going to be a dedicated art and crafts room, including a studio for my painting, and a dedicated area for the sax playing/recording. I'm looking to have some large windows put in, which seems to add some atmosphere.

a little late to the party, but we wanted to time this with the new series coming out. Here's the band I play in doing a quick brass funk version of Game of Trombones

Nothing wrong with being late, it was worth waiting for

Like the way you make the guy with the big round thing stand the other end of the room

Best place for him. He'd been naughty
