Super Mario Bros Live! - Score Reduction & Analysis for Jazz Orchestra (The 8-Bit Big Band)

[@Vuusteri]

I'm overwhelmed by the talent involved here. Just staggering. You should be in BBC Proms to have an audience you deserve.

[@Nick930]

Man I haven't sight-read actual sheet music in so long.. comes right back to you. Great composition guys, I'll have to give this a shot on trumpet after I give it a well deserved acid-bath

[@michaeljoefox]

Hey man, don’t hold out if you’ve got acid

[@kaitlyn__L]

It really does! I hadn’t tried to play anything off sheet music for, gosh, 15 if not 18 years, but recently I looked up a medieval carol and played it right the first time. It was especially strange since at times it felt like I played faster than I could read it, but going back and redoing the bar slower I was right the first time. The alternating spacing of notes on and between lines really is super quick to see intervals.

[@MelodyMaker365]

Went to school with Brad and let me tell you, he works his ass off and it shows. Love how these two worlds of my are colliding!

[@The8BitBigBand]

Thats awesome! He's one seriously talented dude

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

The music without the "live background noise". That video is fun to watch and listen, but sometimes you just want the music. And the score is a study of how to read music. I'm no expert, but seeing this as it goes and how it comes together is surely fascinating for those that have different levels of musicality. May we see this for the other live recordings.

[@VirtualVideoGameOrchestra]

I've been waiting SO LONG for this, what an epic breakdown befitting of an epic piece!! -Brandon

wait... 1 week ago wot

[@RichyArtist]

Wow, headache!!! I cannot imagine people having to count 1234 in a tempo of 360bpm!!! The amount of detail that went into this 6 minute masterpiece is truly incredible, my word. In order to read it all you would have to mute the video and start/pause it every few second. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@The8BitBigBand]

Right? I ended up setting the metronome to half note for that section cuz hearing it on all 4 beats at that speed is like an ice pick to the brain haha

[@kaitlyn__L]

Pausing frequently is exactly what I did, then went back and let it play through uninterrupted a second time round lol

[@theGameBrass]

Really neat to see not only the musical notes but the word-based notes as well! Thanks for sharing, very insightful!

[@BonaparteBardithion]

The brief notes really make it easy to follow the intent even for someone not well versed in score.

[@SparkieChu]

What the Mario Symphony should’ve been like:

[@demantim]

Yep, time to study this behind the piano. Your arranging skills and musical tastefulness are inspiring. Love the background information too =) .

[@beeves_6925]

i would love a full version of the star theme, it’s so energetic i love it

[@kttphoenix]

4:13 still hits me in the childhood

[@KMn048]

The rite of spring excerpt was so well done. This arrangement is spectacular

[@kaitlyn__L]

Gosh, this is just fantastic all round. The transitory moments are perfect! I don’t blame you for not wanting to transcribe the SFX next time but that definitely added another dimension to it for me :)

[@noncrediblecase341]

This is awesome and really informative. Would love to see you do this for your other arrangements!

[@AO-pn9so]

This is wonderful! Good job!

[@princesscutie9332]

Woah! I've never actually seen a score broken down like this,,, This is so cool. Awesome job!

[@Dexter26958]

I knew I recognized that style of analysis :D Glad you got Brad for this! What an amazing collab!

[@derekwong1356]

Absolutely love the breakdown on this! Very very helpful for someone who's looking into arranging some Jazz. Any chance there will be more videos like this?

[@The8BitBigBand]

I'll probably do more in the future!!

[@jtaicello]

Incredible work!

[@i_cam]

THIS IS SO SICK YOOO THANK YOU CHARLIE FOR THE SWEET SCORE !!

[@gubgubbubbub]

Absolutely insane stuff. Thank you for the analysis!

[@awesomesbone]

Thank you so much for doing this. I'd love to see more score analyses like this. I learned a lot from it.

[@jonathanalexander5243]

okkkkk I just spent like 2 hours analyzing this video, thanks SOO much for making this!!!

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

It was really interesting to see all the various inspirations you incorporated into the piece, especially since in many cases I was like, "This reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it..." only to find out that one part reminded me of The Jetsons, another of Vivaldi, and so on. :D

[@RobWightCA]

5:33 "Just go fuckin hard with glisses..." lol

[@JoshFreilich]

Has anyone noticed that at measure 144, the trumpets do the little variation from the SNES version of SMB1?

[@The8BitBigBand]

Oh right THATS where I got that from, I knew I ddin't make it up but I was wondering what version did that

[@Chicken_Lord]

You need to perform the music in the up coming Mario movie! Your works of music is a marvel that needs to be heard by others!

[@asgeirsoe]

This is just absolutely brilliant! Bravo!

[@alphaex9124]

Is there gonna be a score release for this piece just like bombomb battlefield? I’d even pay for it :) it’s really a great score

[@beecebrashley1467]

I didn’t even realize the Stravinsky excerpt! This is so awesome, it’s great to see how this is all broken down

[@marioexe5295]

I could listen to this for hours its amazing

[@destinypivonka6555]

This is so sick. It looks ridiculously fun to play.

[@xevache6944]

This is awesome!

[@jeremyharris7245]

Upon my 3rd listen.... I HEARD YOUR RITE OF SPRING QUOTE!

[@richardradopiano3870]

Well done. Would love to see more score reduction.

[@AceBadguy]

Wow. This is amazing.

[@ilovewakko]

"I'm a big lover of any sort of 1960s orchestral progress music... I'm a big fan of that style of arranging. I have a Spotify playlist of just that stuff..." I need this, how do I get it?

[@The8BitBigBand]

I gotchu - open.spotify.com/playlist/6kxSYGYgFQu4DURPY4s0nm?si=x402jvVUTD6xR35FP4Dyvw Enjoy!

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Whoa; you went all out on this one! It even has a chorus!

[@retro3188]

Oh. Hi, Leo! Can’t help but feel I’ve seen you somewhere.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

@@retro3188 I'll take your word for it because I don't remember you at all. Sorry.

[@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516]

@Leo the Tiger I agree. Problem is, it doesn’t have a tuba/sousaphone, French horn, clarinet, nor a double bass section.

[@candied.crabapples]

Impossible to not love this video! 😀😀😀

[@jayvessel444]

So dope, keep up the amazing work.

[@JustMitch98]

My phone speakers can't do this piece justice, I love it!!

[@ErnestoComposer]

Oh this is just amazing

[@clash_pineapple_]

You should try 'Gear Getaway' from Returns. That theme slaps!

[@yuvalne]

Gotta love 8BBB, gotta love Brad, gotta love this vid

[@somebaker2613]

This is really awesome but I hear piano when it’s not in the video... is it ad lib. ?

[@The8BitBigBand]

Yeah I just give the rhythm section the form, groove, and major band hits and let their artistry do the rest!
