{Christmas Special} Carol of the Bells - Drum Corps Arrangement (Remastered Edition)

This is a remastered version of a drum corps arrangement I made last year. I was curious about how it would sound in Musescore 4, did make some minor adjustments though.

I love the little jingle bells in the mellos at 1:40 lol

Took a page outta Saucedo's book there

[@dallashobbs2000]

I love the arrangement. Also for some reason the brass sounds are not as distinct as they could be. Like it sounds like everything is blurred together. It sounds quieter.

[@therealnocommonsense]

Yea I had noticed that as well. For now I'm gonna keep using musescore 3 for larger projects bc muse sounds is not as aggressive as I want it to be with notes, it's only good for slow stuff tbh

[@beardedpike3881]

@@therealnocommonsense i mean you could just use musescore 4 with msbasic soundfonts. the editor itself is still better so i don't see why you should go back to ms3 just because the sounds are better for composing

[@obinnanwakwue5735]

@@beardedpike3881 I have a symphony and MS4 crashes every other second while I try to work with it

[@beardedpike3881]

@@obinnanwakwue5735 that is true, ms4 is terribly optimized lmao

[@therealnocommonsense]

@@beardedpike3881 that's also a reason. When I'm on Musescore 4 with the basic soundfonts it lags like crazy but my cpu never goes over 30% and my memory only pushes 65% (with very large scores). On small scores it is about 20%, yet it is almost unusable because of the lag

[@yungtwiz]

That is one of the most incredible arrangements I've ever heard lmfao

what in the world you improved so much from your last one what

This would be a fun pit section to play in.

Could you do a vandegrift 2019 trombone soloist transcription?

[@Jon-qz2qj]

I see you took some inspiration from Saucedo 😳

[@bacondoesthings123]

can you give me the musescore link for this?

[@SiggeSvahn]

Very good!

[@JZM006]

could you do 44th street long?

every dci music composer goal - kill mellos with extremely cool but hard runs

[@therealnocommonsense]

It is the law

[@caydenalan]

Do you also use musescore for percussion, or do you use a different program?

[@therealnocommonsense]

I used the Musescore 3 MDL drumline extension

[@dci_fan0345]

@@therealnocommonsensehow did you get MDL to work with MS4?

[@therealnocommonsense]

@@dci_fan0345 I didn't. I used Musescore 3 and just edited the drumline in with the rest

[@bornsetjustafellowgamer1480]

its too bad musescore 4 has limited range no trumpet screaming
