Kiss Me Good-Bye (FFXII) - Original Piano Arrangement

[UonKou]

*desperately touched*

this is a really amazing arrangement!

I have been searching around for this! :')

oh, and don't mind me asking,

would it be alright if my friend or I were to cover this song, using your arrangement? :)

[DudethatyelledMurloc]

Lol that intro 2 sounded so funky...

[sonya66]

AMAZING vincent!

[Acrozius]

Oh, I'm so sorry to ask again. Could you please tell me how you wrote notes that crossed over staves but stayed in the same grouping? (Example: Bars 6 and 11.)

[zeryx28]

@Acrozius No problem. First, determine which staff will have more of the notes for the voice that does the crossing. Input all the notes on that staff first, and then select the note (or CTRL-select the notes) you want to cross over. Hit CTRL+SHIFT+[up or down] depending on in which "direction" the voice is crossing.

[Acrozius]

Zeryx, I am dying to know how you constructed chords including notes of differing durations with Sibelius. For example, bar 3 with the dotted quaver and basic quaver. And especially bar 33 where you have a chord including two minims and three crotchets in one chord.

Any help very much appreciated.

[zeryx28]

@Acrozius Oh, that is done using the "voices" interface. The active voice is indicated by the number that is highlighted at the bottom of main keypad. There isn't really a rule for which voice gets the top note, but a general rule of thumb that seems to work for me is (top to bottom): 1, 3, 2, 4, but only on rare occasions do you need to use more than two voices. To create a multi-voice chord, simply enter a note in one voice, and successive notes in other voices by changing the active voice.

[Acrozius]

@zeryx28 Thank you! That was amazingly helpful. I'll now be able to use this in my pieces. I was always frustrated when I couldn't get more than one kind of note in a beat.

[MichaelLougas]

Do you have a pdf of this notation?

[zeryx28]

@MichaelLougas Yes. You can find the PDF score on my website, on the "work" page. See video description for URL. Thanks.

@zeryx28 I also have Sibelius. I'm separating the vocal part from the piano so it can be sung. Just letting you know ;)

[conancat]

very nice arrangement! well done dude! :D came over from your Nokia Fugue, that one is totally fantabulous too! :D

[PSNDemonwing]

i ve played the game but i dont remember this song weird huh?...this will the next song i learn!!

[723lion]

omg! thx!

[Kiamet]

This is such a well-written pop ballad arrangement, I'd love to hear a live version of it. Great stuff my friend.

[Verdegrand]

I like how the player gets to choose between different intros. IMHO this style of music, which kind of reminds me of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, is prone to sounding cheesy on the piano very easily, but you managed to avoid that.

[Pr0udDragon]

@Verdegrand Well, the first intro was actually used in the English version of the original song, but the second intro was used in the Japanese version of the song. You may have already found that out, though.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing :)
