Forum Anthem

I had an idea yesterday that would be cool. Somebody should write a forum anthem. I was thinking of something that sounds happy but not really giddy. Something proud like "Pomp and Circumstance" only a bit happier and more inspiring sounding.

This idea really has no significance that I could think of but as long as we are getting mascots I thought it would be cute.

Also who do you think should write it? Who's up for the challenge? :TON:

Cool lyrics, but I think we meant composing in the actual music notes sense... how would we play words? :D

Interesting lyrics but I was thinking more of a song to play on the ocarina.

well I do have a composition which I'm happy to put up as a candidate if anyone likes it ..~


Veggie said he would fix it up for me (since my music theory isn't up to scratch). How is that as an idea :lol: (saves him from having to compose something new)

Here is what I had... Ignore the slurs, and the beat's probably not completely correct, but at least the notes are there....?

I came up with this song a long time ago, when I was in Junior highschool. I was trying to remember this anime song (sakura saku from Love Hina) off memory, because I remember really liking it and wanted to play it on my trumpet. But back then, I wasn't as technologically advanced, so couldn't find the file online, or hear the song again -_-

So I tried to recreate it in my head from memory, and came up with this. Years later, I compare it with the original song I was trying to arrange, and they sound completely different :blink: Kinda reminds me of what someone did with Canon in D at TON :TON: :XP:

If the anthem that people vote on has lyrics then it will. BTW can you post a MIDI of your song?

I like the song Kissing.

I vote yes to an anthem and say we also need a flag, a motto, a plant, an animal, etc. haha :XD:

Being serious, I do think an anthem is a good idea.

Ahem, I think it's a good idea. But yeah, well, haha, duno what is happening with it.

I'm not good at writing anthemy songs... It will either be too formal (like Country anthems) or too stupid =_= (like pop songs XD)

I don't mind writing it.

Sam, I give up on your piece, I can't harmonise it well enough XD last time I remembered I needed to change so many notes I didn't even bother doing it XD

Oops

I like kissing's song as well, but I too wonder, is it anthemy enough? I really like it though. :thumbsup:

If you guys have a set of guidelines I'll see what I can compose.

After people voted I was planning to contact Gassner and peeps about it. Then if they are alright with the idea we can do this.

I'm really tired. I just got up so sorry if this post makes since.

I like Kissing's song :nod:
But I think it would be more fitting without lyrics, imo... :whistle:

As a LotR fan, I think the anthem should sound like something that would be played in the Shire on a sunny day (joyful, and slightly celtic?). :D

Are we going to come up with some kind of rules or guidelines to follow for how the song should be? Or should we just write something and see how it goes?

The votes seem to be in favor. We can make it happen. All we need is a plan.

We should probably give ourselves something like a month to write the songs.

Umm... Sure. I'll be on vacation starting on the 8th so I will be without internet for a week. People can start writing songs but I will decide a deadline sometime after that. Who knows? I might want to write a song too.
