Captain Picard's Song (Inner Light) arr. Woodwind Quintet



Uploaded by: NewEdit617
Video Description:
This is an arrangement of the Ressikan flute melody Captain Picard from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" plays during the episodes "The Inner Light" and "Lessons."
The melody is quite beautiful; I wanted to arrange it so it could be played on classical quintet instrumentation (flute, oboe, B flat clarinet, French horn, and bassoon).
The piece starts off slowly with flute melody, becomes progressively more involved and dramatic, and closes with a final return to the simple melody on flute and oboe.
Although I do not as yet have a quintet with which to perform / record this, I hope that the electronic instruments will provide a good representation of what the piece is supposed to sound like. The instrument parts are represented by colored circles as follows:
flute - orange
oboe - green
clarinet - blue
French horn - purple
bassoon - pink
THE SHEET MUSIC IS NOW UP! on a temporary (and not-so-good-looking) website that I will make much better this summer. http://newedit617.googlepages.com/compositions

Great video! I enjoyed how you were able to capture the different notes as different line angles/dots (it is easy to visualize the music better that way). This truly is beautiful. Is this by any chance the original "Sky Boat Song?"
great visualization ... ( 5 months ago by packets1)
great visualization, would be awesome to hear this played as a quartet for real. what program did you use for the whole dots thing?
The opening melody ... ( 5 months ago by NewEdit617)
The opening melody line does sound like "Skye Boat Song," doesn't it? Apparently Jay Chattaway, the person who first put this tune in to Star Trek TNG, arranged it from an excerpt of "Scottish Fantasy" by Max Bruch. I've not heard that one yet, but that would be the original!
Thanks. The dots ... ( 5 months ago by NewEdit617)
Thanks. The dots are from Music Animation Machine (freeware). There are a variety of visualizations from which to choose-- lines, bubbles, other shapes, etc. The program plays only MIDI files, though, so I then had to record the animation with CAM Studios and incorporate it with the MP3 using Windows Movie Maker.

I just heard a clip of "Scottish Fantasy" played by a violinist, and the intro to the music (the background orchestra) does play a tune exactly like the intro to this melody. as you say in regards to the Skye Boat Song tune, that probably was added to the intro of "Scottish Fantasy."
BTW, in relation to what you posted earlier about Music Animation Machine, the tune is reminiscent of a midi file (hearing the abrupt halts to the tune as a different one is played).

Good arrangement, I would love to hear it with a live group though. An electric device lacks soul. Well done.

Definitely. I'm trying to convince the woodwind quintet I'm in to play and record it!

Hi,
I used Finale to compose. YouTube won't let me post a link to their site in the comments, but just do a quick search for Finale and you will find their site with some free trial versions. I used freeware to make the dots (Music Animation Machine), and freeware to screen capture the animation (CAM studios).

With your permission and with the sheet music i can get a live recording of this. I am part of a college band that can record music. I can ask my director and see if he is up. then i will put the recorded music up on youtube and/or send the file to you.

That would be fantastic! I will send you a message about the sheet music.

Yeah, hearing on on ST:TNG makes it even better. There are some websites that have just the main melody printed on sheet music, in case you wanted to play it on your clarinet.
Yes, I do have an oboe and a recorder, but where do you live?!

This is the standard arrangement for a woodwind quintet. Even though a French horn is not a woodwind, the quintets are always Fl, Ob, Cl, FrH, and Ba.

Do you know if the music is written for guitar?
