super-mario :)
I'm finally getting "Super-Mario Bros. Theme" down for Concert harp. Very slow tempo, but it sounds cool; just a bit leisurely (obviously not being chased by Bowser while playing my version). I have the entire song now working on Concert harp, from a piano arrangement by the amazing Aaron Ackerson. (Song by Koji Kondo, if you ever wondered who to blame for creating this iconic music).
I seem to have the only copy of this music currently, as the website that originally posted it (themushroomkingdom.net) does not have it available. Aaron Ackerson of course does have it (last I check with him), but on an older computer which isn't easily accessible.
Tempo is marked q (quarter note)=100 with style of FUNK. Currently my tempo today is q=54. Lots of chromatic foot pedal maneuvers on this song (Concert harp), so a slower tempo is needed... I imagine my max tempo without changing the music will be q=65 or so because one foot pedal maneuver requires more than two legs above q=65.
I had the first part of "Super-Mario" worked out about 7 years ago back when Viva Chocolato, a chocolate bar at the Domain was hosting our music. The chocolate bar was gorgeous and fantastic, and we have many fond memories of that establishment. So just as a promise to myself (even though I have no venue currently where Super-Mario would fit), I wanted to bring the song back... & maybe record it for youtube for posterity. :)
