A classical version of one of my favorite blind guardian songs ^_^
Now you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too
Now you all know

He Dabs,
I was just thinking about a collab-cover of this song!
I just love singing it very much, and I really wanna do this. Singing is my hobby!
Maybe I could do a vocals and perhaps a piano track and you play the guitar-tracks (and maybe also some vocals or another instrument that you are able to play)
What do you think?

Sadly I'm quite busy until August 30th, although I've holydays.
I plan to buy some better recording equipment afterwards (a proper mic, a dig. mixer and a prof. recording software).
Du you want to continue our further talk about that here in the comments, or would you prefer PM, an instant messenger or sth?
K, me neither. ^__^
The first step is the composition, I think. And I guess thats your part, since you have much more expierience and surely a better composing prog than me.
Speaking of composing tools.. can you recommend me one? (or more^^)
Mine seems to be quite unhandy (although I've never looked into the manual for any hot keys or sth^^)
About instruments... As I said before I want to do some vocals (main- and/or background-vocals) and I could play a piano track, as well. I also own an accoustic guitar (steel strings), but I'm only able to play some accompaniment with simple chords, as yet.^^
If you want I could ask some other composers to join this collab. Maybe a violinist or a flute-player. I think that could suit this song.^^

Check out Finale for composing, it's expensive though so you'll probably have to stick with a trial version :P
Well, the composition has already been written lol, so I don't need to do much with it :3
I have nothing to record myself with, so I can't really get that done :P I can do anything with orchestral instruments though.
Sure, you can have anyone join in ^_^

Yay, I seems pretty done.
But I wouls appreciate some piano accompaniment for my left hand (cuz I don't want to make it hanging around while playing the melody with the left hand ^__^)
And I think you need to seperate/arrange the instruments and submit some sheet music.
Furthermore you could do the dig. mixing and postprocessing if you want to (in case you have some proper software and the know-how to do this)
# Are this "orchestral instruments" refferring to Midi-instruments?

Alirght, I'll get some sheet music for it :P Then you'll be able to do stuff with both hands. I have audacity, which is not the best for mixing and stuff, but it can get the job done on an amateur level :P And yes, I'm referring to midi, but I use something to convert them and make them sound a little nicer. Can I ask if you've listened to the original song yet?
hehe... Soooooooo many times !!! It's just enchanting!
And yours is already on my portable player for some vocal practicing. But I still need to learn the lyrics by heart^^
Lets see, if someone joins who is specialized with that postprocessing stuff. If not, you can still do it.

It is indeed! btw, I just mentioned today while liustening to some live-versions, that it's a german band. XD
I will listen to those songs right now! *plugs in his headphones*
You're the composer, so which instruments would you suggest for the bards song? I want to know, so that I can look for other musicians more specific.

A Past and Future Secret is fairly good, but Skalds and Shadows is definitly my fav! The lyrics as well as the instruments are just... WOW!!!
I think I've convinced
kaliden to join the collab.
He is a guitarist, but can also sing quite well.

Have you listened to the Van Canto cover yet?
I love a ccapella songs, especially by Van Canto (I did one by myself lately^^)

Status Report:
I asked
karuno for playing the voilin (if he join, mayba he would like to play the flute, too^^)
Regarding the cello: I didn't find someone in the composers list, so I asked a friend (guitarist as well) if he knows any cellist and.. tadaa! A friend of him can play it.
atm I'm waiting for replies and possible affirmations while I've tried to spare some time to practice my vocals.
And as a result of some research at wikipedia, I can say pretty sure that my voice-range is pretty much a tenor. That means from c to a' (or rather g' in my case^^). But I could hit the c'' with some voice-overdrive (I dunno how to call it, even in german XD )

I have bad news according to the cellist. My friend told me hea plays the cello professional now, therefore has has no time for a little project like this :-/
I have managed another contact to a cellist, a cellist teacher in fact. But she stays in Korea right now and will return about end of september. Hopefully there will be a student of her, who is interested.
What about your progress with the arrangements? Anything playabl for me so far? :D
