As graduation assignment for my study to become a music teacher I had to choose a piece of music and arrange parts for all my fellow students while every part was as fun and interesting as possible for them to play. I chose one of my favourite pieces and wrote the parts for all available instruments and choir. After a couple of days of rehearsals we performed this piece as the end result.
I'm very grateful to everyone who in one way or another added something to this experience.

hi kasper! hoping you might see this comment but as a fellow radiohead fan and music education student (at UBC in Canada!) are you selling your arrangement? i would LOVE to use this piece in the near future! and as a fellow music student who has participated in classes similar to this, i cannot even imagine how much work this piece would've taken to arrange (same goes for your colleagues arrangement of paranoid android!)!!!!! high five from Canada!

[@kaspervandijk172]

Hi! Thanks for your comment! Yes, It is possible to buy the arrangement. If you follow this link (paypal.me/kaspervandijkmusic/25) and add your email address as the comment in the PayPal transfer I will send it to you as soon as possible! I will add a PDF of the Full Score, Full Choir Score, PDF's for all separate instruments, a text file on notes for the arrangement and a Sibelius and an XML file so you could import it in your own software for editing. Thanks a lot for you enthusiasm and if you ever perform this piece and it will be recorded I would really love to see and hear it! Good luck with your studies! Cheers, Kasper van Dijk

[@skylineto.mp3]

omg thank you so much!! that would be amazing!! how much is the arrangement?

[@kaspervandijk172]

I would say 25 euro's (About 36 Canadian Dollars) would be a fair price for the amount of work I put in, but I know life can be financially difficult for a student ;) so send me an email (kaspervandijkmuziek) if you can't afford to lose 25 euro's and we will figure something out!@@skylineto.mp3

This has some wild School of Rock sequel vibes to it: A hipster music nerd falls ass-backwards into an adjunct professor job at a college of music. He spends the entire semester teaching a group of gifted musicians how to play Radiohead songs so that he can fulfill his nerd fantasy of elevated Radiohead compositions, while taking rips off a bong in the drum closet. The drummer even looks like a 21 year old version of the kid from the first movie.

Radiohead fan who has watched this 10 times and really likes it... but is now totally distracted by the tall, elegant lady on the extreme left who picks up a meditation bell at around 4:42. I am filled with questions! That's an instrument so why isn't she in the orchestra? Or why didn't they give the bell to one of the choir? Does she own it and refused to lend it to a chorister?... :-)

There are many covers of Weird Fishes and most get a free win from covering one of the greatest songs of all time but this is the first I've seen that really elevates and complements the original with its own creativity and talent. Phenomenal job from all involved and massive kudos for your arrangement. I'm sure your students are very lucky to have a teacher like you.

Thank you Mr. van Dijk. This arrangement causes tremendous waves of emotion through me as I listen. And though parts are sad or cause introspection, the ending crescendo of voices gives me hope and has helped me through my days. If I win the lottery I wish to gather together another orchestra and choir for you to guide so that I may sit and listen to it live and experience the wonder that the people in the audience must have felt that day.

I'd be crazy not to follow Follow where you lead Your eyes They turn me Turn me on to phantoms (way out) I follow to the edge of the Earth (way out, way out) And fall off Yeah, everybody leaves (way out) If they get the chance (way out) And this is my chance (way out) I get eaten by the worms And weird fishes Picked over by the worms And weird fishes Weird fishes Weird fishes I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape
