World of Color on piano (8/8) - "So Close", "Transformation", & Finale

This arrangement of the final segments of World of Color was done by ear. (Unfortunately, I have no sheet music for my arrangement, though I will post it if and when I can.) I recorded a number of takes in Finale 2008 via a MIDI keyboard. These were saved as audio files (using the Steinway piano patch in Finale's Garritan library) and edited together in Audacity to create what you hear in this video.

This is the last part of this series of recordings, and I'm now very pleased to be able to offer the full 26-minute-long audio file in your choice of format!

Just please remember that none of this copyrighted material may be sold, and I do appreciate credit where credit is due. Speaking of which...many, many thanks to the team at Disney who designed and scored this incredible show, and to the various composers whose work was adapted in it!

@justcharlenprens Unfortunately, Disney hasn't released the soundtrack on CD yet. =(

If you still had the midi, I could transcribe it into the sheet music for you. I know that I myself am very anxious to play your cover of this piece as its one of the more elaborate on Youtube.

@TheRickyElliott Thanks for the offer, but I'm afraid I don't share the MIDI files for my performances. It'd be tricky anyway because there are plenty of "redos" in most of my MIDI files...I'll slightly mess up, and instead of just tweaking the MIDI data afterward or ignoring the mistake, I immediately go back and play that part correctly. There are also some slightly weird techniques and whatnot. Thanks, though!

This series is awesome! Do you think you could do the exit music?

@rdrummer14 Thanks! :D But I'm sorry, the exit music isn't in the works...I like it just fine, but it just doesn't translate too well to solo piano. It basically just sounds like the same theme, but imitating a contemporary dance beat...with piano...it just doesn't work, haha. But I do have some more arrangements in the works!

I could listen to this all day <3

@bobrobert13 Lots of key signatures! Once "Beauty and the Beast" hits, it's sort of in E for a bit, but then it modulates all over the place, eventually reaching D for the return of the World of Color theme song, then F, then finally G, where it stays to the end.
