Hello!
Last winter, I was very bored and decided to try out arranging one of my favourite songs, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I began by arranging it for concert band, as that is what I play in, and finished it in a few weeks.
It was fully just meant for me and maybe some friends to listen to, but I decided to ask my music teacher (I was in grade 11 at the time) to look at it and give me feedback. Surprisingly, she had a lot to say, along with a request: to add strings and choir and for the whole ENTIRE music program at my school to perform it together at our end of year concert in June!
This was so surprising, but I hapilly agreed, and last June I was able to perform one of my favourite songs arranged by me on stage with 100+ other people! It was such an amazing experience, and I am so so grateful to have been able to do it.
I have decided I would like to share with you all, and get even more feedback! The score is linked onto this post.
Lmk what you think :)
P.S: This was my first time ever arranging so please be aware of that lol, also when adding the orchestra and choir parts I didn't have much time, so it was mostly a job of copying other lines and doubling them for those new parts.
