A little while ago, I got bored, so I took the Gold Saucer theme from FF7 and arranged it for organ. Anyway, here's the link:

I would appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.

Wow, this is really well done, I love the arrangement. It really suits the organ i think, however i'm not sure i can stand the whole thing if you get. I can't decide if it's to long or not. The key changes at the end are nice, but its the bit with the endless pedals at 2:07 through to about 2:45 that gets a bit too much. The rest of it is great though, i always thought this song was annoying but i really like this version.

Because this is a solo instrument you need real emphasis on a very strong arrangement with attention to specific aspects of that instrument if your gonna submit it, and i think this is really getting there, but i would be hesitant of submitting it for some reason, i'm not sure why. Wait til you get a few more opinions, but yeah, good stuff.

Very interesting approach, It sounds kind of repetative despite you haveing lots of differant variations. I think you should try doing fugue type bits where the first part is repeated by a voice lower on the keyboard while the melody expands in the leading voice, this can extend parts and gives other parts more dramatic differances.

In case you have never heard a fugue, here (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/Wtk1-fugue2.mid) is and example. Listen to how the second voice picks up the same melody as the first voice had.

Just a suggestion :P It's great mix as it is though, no biggy.

good... but a bit repetitive! add more custom melody...

and I liked the fugue suggestion by phntm! try it! I bet it will be a real good outcome!
