markhansavon Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Hey there. I'm a composer taking on scoring a video game. I'm looking to imitate a certain feel within a song. I'm looking right now to imitate a song within a japanese animated movie called Rurouni Kenshin. There is a certain part within the song specifically. What I need help with is finding classical musical works that are very similar to the clips, mostly in the emotion of the sad strings that almost cry out at you: http://www.takutogame.com/Images2/SampleF.mid http://www.takutogame.com/Images2/Sample.mp3 I'm not looking for the same exact chord progression or anything, just music that would be in a minor/sad key like Albinonis G minor (for example) and be like 'rising up to the final destination' kind of thing. (like with Sample.mp3) Quote
OmarSanchez Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 you can look through IMSLP (International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) Portal) or search through piano files (Welcome | PianoFiles) Quote
PhantomOftheOpera Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I cannot help but wonder, why don't you just experiment a bit on your own on a piano, improvising trough the same or similar progressions, you are bound to find something that you like. Quote
yegudiil Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Try the opening movement of Beethoven's op. 131 quartet. Quote
Sepharite Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 OMG. I love the sound track to Kenshin! Is that from the OVA? My fav is Sound of Snow Falling: YouTube - Rurouni Kenshin - Falling //// Not exactly classical but it's in the right setting: And look into the Shadow of Colossus OST. Quote
