Dracula ~New Classic~ Transcription Project

[Chronoman]

About a year ago, I started this project as a fun way to work on my orchestration skills. I absolutely adore the songs from this CD, and was interested in thoroughly dissecting them and transcribing the entire CD (except for Monster Dance, which is awful) into Finale.

I'd say I got about 50% through the project, but now I simply don't have the time to finish, and so the project is on indefinite hold. I was wondering if anybody out there was possibly interested in picking up where I left off, and contributing to or finishing the project.

Here's what I got done so far:

Completed:

Vampire Killer ~ Wicked Child

Bloody Tears

The Cave

Partially completed (about 40-60% each):

Dwelling of Doom

Ever Green

Theme of Dracula

Barely started (Beginning bars only):

Beginning

Hearts of Fire ~ Out of Time

Praying Hands

Let me know if anybody is interested in this (potentially) epic project.

Dude. This is freaking awesome. Anybody who hasn't heard this CD but likes 1. Castlevania music and/or 2. classical music should get on the ball.

I personally love it. Can't help you really at all, but you got my wholehearted support, for what that's worth.

I was just practicing Bloody Tears on my keyboard last night. I also like the theme of Castlevania 64 (beginning), which was a redo of Stage 1: Bloodlines from Castlevania Dracula X.

I would definitely like to join. Before I do, is this project genre-exclusive?

"Bloodlines" from Rondo/Dracula X was actually a remix of "Beginning" from Dracula's Curse. It's one of the more popular tunes in Castlevania along with Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears and has a number of variations.

I have this soundtrack and actually burned a copy so I can listen to it at work at my leisure. I agree the rendition of "Monster Dance" pales in comparison to the rest of the tracks, which are top-notch. My only regret is that they didn't make a second volume of this like they did with the Dracula Battle albums.

While I am barely a novice at remixing and will be of little use to you, I wholeheartedly support this little project. If you need any original album art, let me know.
