You guys are amazing. Absolutely amazing.
I've been wanting to stay out of the way and just let things happen in here, but at this point I just have to give my very brief comments (NOT JUDGMENTS!...we're all in on that) on what you all have done so far, since it's my tune you have graced with your talent and seemingly boundless imagination.
Nickthoven: Imaginative harmonies, and a bitchen coda!
Nightscape: Rather impressionistic, very pretty.
BitterDuck: I wasn't always sure why you made the choices you made in the first attempt. The second made better sense, and the progressions in the 2nd variant were really cool.
Letehn: The glittery filigree accompaniment was the magic in this one. Again, the 2nd attempt was even better than the first.
Wolf: Very cool rhythmic ideas and orchestration.
Spc1st: The most imaginative of the lot - ultimate coolness.
Tyler: The most conventional, but also the most cohesive and succinct. Progressions are logical. Nice!
Conqueso: Wow...really imaginative orchestration and progressions.
What immediately strikes me is the fantastic variety displayed here. These are all far more than harmonisations. They're like variations on a theme. On the Old Board a couple of years ago, I started a thread challenging people to write a variation on a Mozart Minuet, with similar results.
My compliments to every one of you, and thanks for so honouring my tune.
THIS THREAD IS BY NO MEANS CLOSED. Any of you who want to take a stab at it, by all means go ahead!
