Pazu's Theme on Ocarina

SHEETS AND MIDI: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ytaw6f
Arranged by me, composed by Joe Hisaishi.

Ive been wanting to play this song for a few months and first heard it over a year ago. Laputa: Castle in the sky is ONE of my favorites of Miyazaki's films. (Nausicaa being the first)
I wanted to play this in a way that had a good melody and low harmony. The only way I could do this is have a high melody and low harmony so they wouldn't be conflicting with each other. Both parts are played on my Focalink Double Alto C ocarina.
Tell me what you think of each part. I feel a bit unsatisfied with the melody as it seems to be a bit shaky at times.
Cheers!

Thank you! I find it makes the must magical sound. :) I think the Ocarina and guitar would play together well!

Nice playing! By the way, Laputa: Castle In the Sky is a reference to the book Gulliver's Travels right?

[awells88]

I've never really read Gulliver's Travels. I'll have to look into that.

I can hear what you mean by shaky notes, but it's still not bad at all. The melody comes through great, and the harmony really works well with the melody.

[awells88]

No, not too bad, but a bit noticeable. Glad you like it.

@JohnnyW235 I think you're thinking of liliput the town in Gullivar's Travels

Ps. Nausicaa was also a great movie! My favorite of Miyazaki's films is Howls Moving Castle.

Haha that's messed, I just watched this last film last night! I was wondering what it'd sound like on an ocarina. You did great!
