Some of these are fairly simple arrangements, others are more complex and expansive. Some were experiments to see if I could actually make something out of the source material. In any case, I hope you all enjoy them! If people like these enough, I may do more someday.

Can they all be my favorite?
No! Favourite is a relational term, and if they are all liked equally then none of them are favoured. Therefore, they cannot all be your favourites unless you extend the context to include songs outside of those posted in this topic, in which case you need to be more specific since it is hardly a compliment to say that you favour Halo's music over the soothing tones of Cannibal Corpse.
I take this very seriously because my mother was a dictionary. I once poked a man in the solar plexus for saying "I could care less" to express indifference. He beat me up pretty badly after, but I would do it again.
The songs are great Halo.

Dude, sheet music would be awesome.

Sheet music (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/355574/Piano%20Album/Sheets.rar).
I do plan on doing at least another of these. I recorded 5 other songs that I didn't include with this one because of that. Also because I already have an hour's worth of music here.
I'm going to make alternative album art for this whether you like it or not.
Sure ;o I didn't ask Irock to make that one, he just did it. But I like it all the same. I'm sure yours would be good too!

Me too! And thanks :)

Interesting choices. Undersea Palace and Battle 1 are two of my least favorites that I did lol. But thanks all the same~

I'm not happy with that track so I'm redoing it. I feel like I dropped the ball on that one. Also Strike said it sucked. (okay he used a different phrasing)
Post by: strike on March 23, 2012, 06:57:25 AM
I get the feeling the beginning at least until it picks up needs some reverb.

That's ok, the Halo theme song is terrible anyway. There's not much anyone can do with it. It sounds like a mix between a high-school metal band and an irish jig.
lol. I actually like it though, I guess it's sort of a guilty pleasure. It doesn't seem to translate very well to piano, however, or at least it would take someone better at playing and arranging than I to make it work. I'm still going to do another version though.~

Post by: haloOfTheSun on March 23, 2012, 08:46:23 PM
I like the arrangement I've got done now, and it was a request so I'm gonna go ahead and do it. ;o But I agree, that a piano version will always be inferior and the Halo soundtracks certainly have better tracks.
If I had a third hand I could write something pretty awesome though

You know, this might make a more applicable choice for the Halo track.just heard this track on top gear today.
Just sayin'
got a kick out of the fact they were using a track from halo 2.
Post by: EvilM00s on March 24, 2012, 08:02:50 PM
Damn, Halo makes a thread and it blows up in one day. I update a thread weekly for the past 7 weeks and it's still not 2 pages.
Yeah, but everyone knows you're a great musician already. I've never heard Halo's work before.

Halo you've done an amazing job on the 'StickerBrush Symphony'. That was literally the only song I've tried and failed to play on keyboard. But hearing your completed version has inspired me to give it another go. :)

:tpg: I dig that FE theme, as well as the FF9 battle theme song. Two of my favorite overall games. That lost Odyssey battle theme is simply awesome! :)
Post by: haloOfTheSun on May 05, 2012, 06:03:13 AM
Also I did that rearrangement of the Halo theme, I just forgot to record it. I'll get that done probably tomorrow and post it. It's about as good as a piano arrangement for it could probably be, at least from me anyway. At the very least, it's better than what I originally posted.
