I'm writing anthems for countries that request it. Tell me what instruments you'd like (max 4) and I'll get on it. After its finished, I'll telegram you the link so you can see it and listen to it.

By posting here you recognise me as the copyright holder of the anthem.

Remember that music writing can be very time-consuming, so don't expect immediate results. You can add lyrics once you've seen and heard the melody and I'll put it in for you. I may deviate from the style you had in mind to begin with but its not my fault, I merely follow the music that flows through me... you can however specifically ask for a certain key/time signature as long as it isn't something completely impractical like 20/4 or something.

To actually view and listen to your anthem you will have to download a 'viewer' program which you can download from the site.

If it doesn't work properly after downloading it, download this and it should work after that: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx


Finished anthems so far:

Drum Gods (http://www.finalemusic.com:81/coda/fs_view_item.asp?file_id=11723&from_view=search)
Rictropolis (http://www.finalemusic.com:81/coda/fs_view_item.asp?file_id=11856)
Daggoth (http://www.finalemusic.com:81/coda/fs_view_item.asp?file_id=11865)
LordSquall (http://www.finalemusic.com/showcase/fs_view_item.asp?file_id=12387)

What, you are actually going to make the tracks?

Sure its a good idea. I do it!

Most people just prefer to steal a real national anthem or some pop song, though.

PS Why limited to 4 tracks?

OK. Instruments: Standard 5 Piece Drum Kit with Cymbals, Bongos, Congas, Timpanis.

Mine is allready made Storm by Storm..

Aaaahh

TBF is starting to get annoyed with the barney song so we are looking for a jazz song now

Nationnal anthem :

Stand up oh great people,
Stand up and fire,
Stand up in the name of glory,
And defend our lands.

We are alone and we are brave,
We won'tlet those annimals win,
For Republic !
For our President !
For our liberty !

Fire !

Stand up as the Republicans we are,
Stand up as the free people we'll be,
Stand up and fire,
in the name of liberty.

Republic !

We are the Republic !
We'll be the Free People !
We'll now be the Free Republic !

Fire !

Let's fight Phobia,
Let's fight AnyPhobia,
Let's fight racism and racists !

Freedom !

Now we march as a free Republic,
Now our nation is done!
Now we walk throught their cadavers,
The bodies of bad opressors !

Live LordSquall !
Live Free Republic !
Live LordSquall Free Republic !
Let's work for a great nation as we'll become !

That's a low-quality clip (700k) of one of the ELDERS Fight songs ;)

(c) Blast! ;)

OK, instruments: Snare Drums, Bass, 2 Guitars

Make it HEAVY :twisted:

Make it HEAVY :twisted:download any DCI song and you have your theme lol

I'd like my country's anthem to include use of the trumpet, bass, piano and snare, please. This is a really good idea Sirocco. Thanks in advance. :)

I'll try to work through these but remember, it won't be easy doing it all and will take some time!

Addendum: The pieces will all be invariably in my style, so you're not likely to get something similar to 'God Save The Queen' or anything!

Alright, I want a latino sound mixed with a old world sound. If you can do that, I'll be gratefull. The anthem should be about freedom, revolution, and the Prince. The people are decendants of the Panamanians if that helps. ThankX! (when done, send link to La Darien in a telegram)

This is a good idea,I play bass,(I havn't been playing long though and wouldn't compose anything yet) this isn't an anthem request though,I would probably want to use a NuMetal band to preserve the genre which gave me my name. Perhaps one of my puppets though,I need to think about it.

Badump.

The Grand Duchy Of Hell Bovines already has an anthem. An a very funny one, i must say.... http://www.shagrat.net/Portfolio/cows.swf
:lol:
However, this thread is a great idea! :D

Go ahead and skip my order, i was just kidding.

Does anyone know the song

Storm by Storm ?

Never tried jazz before, but I'll give it a shot.

Heh. So yeah, why only 4 instruments? I really wanna know. Its a travesty that someone should be limited like that.

Simply because if i'm commissioned to write for a full orchestra it'll take me ages! Keep it simple, thats the key!

I think 4 instruments is fine,considering he's offering a free service which will take him a lot of RL work.

Thanks! I'm having a little trouble because of some mysterious bug on the site which appears to be not adding the music, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

Ok, well I guess I can understand that. Still, you know, its not really that different for orchestra. Just more instruments.

The real slowness for me is just in making national anthems. I'm in the process of making five right now, full orchestral, and its hard just to come up with ideas. I try to make them sound like national anthems tend to in the real world, too. And it's taking forever! Then again, I'm super-lazy.

Id like one. You have full creative go ahead, aslong as it has a strong beat.

I'd like a rock one with an electric guitar,drum kit,bass guitar and another electric guitar.
Think of funny lyrics and telegram me when you're done
PLEASE.

The site I'm putting these on isn't working properly but I'm pretty sure it'll be fixed soon.

It's back on track, the site's working again! I also discovered something else: I can not do jazz. :cry: So could The Belmore Family rethink it's request please?

Mine is already Orgasm Addict by the Buzzcocks. :wink:

I'l say again so you dont forget my request-

Could I have one, You have complete scope, do what you want, aslong as I have a strong beet.

Don't worry I'm working through them, I'm doing Rictropolis's one right now...

This Windows download should get the viewer software to work better: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx

Have you done mine yet?

Have you done mine yet?

Have you done mine yet?

Not yet, I have figured the tune out though. I'm going to add piano as the instruments you've given me don't give much scope.

Cool, thanks

Well Rictropolis's is done. Now Lord Squall's...

I will do full Brass choir Anthems. For an example, visit our regional website. That is our regional anethem. Click on "Tyrannus Mundi" that's my country's anthem. Both completely original by me. If you would like an "Anthemy" anthem, I can do that. I will not do jazz or pop, only anthem-style anthems. Brass choirs are often used to play real anthems.

Tell me what you think. If you want one, telegram me directly.

Very interesting! What software did you use?

Finale 2003, thanx

Oooh I have Allegro 2002, not as good but it serves it's purpose. What instrument do you play? I play the piano, but I write for much more.

I play every brass instrument, and flute. I am currently a senior in High School, with a scholarship on French Horn, so that's my major instrument. I write for EVERY instrument in ALL clefs (yes, even alto) I do alot of communtity service, so I write peices for the woodwind quintet that I am, in. Wow, lengthy response to a simple question :) But I like Horn best. :D

-High Consul Jotun, UN Delegate for Mikronitza

I like French horns... very mellow instruments. Do you use the showcase at all?

yes, i'v had some trouble though, hold on, i'll try to update.

Can you make me an anthem?

Insturments:

Trumpets (i play a trumpet :o )

Drums


Can you aim to make this music "Heroic" like?

I thank you for your time!!!

yes, i'v had some trouble though, hold on, i'll try to update.

Is it the Finale Viewer? Pesky thing.

Can you make me an anthem?

Insturments:

Trumpets (i play a trumpet :o )

Drums

Yep. I'll TM you when I've done it.

Yes, i cant update. This is the FIRST of my french horn quartets.

If it's Windows you've got try this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx

For some reason my viewer gave me no grief after downloading it.

Thaks ALOT Sircco!! Take your time!

If it's not to much, can you make it heroic like?

No problem. :wink:

It's in Bb Major for your trumpet and is in 2/4 for a nice kind of march-like quality. I'm sure it'll come out OK. The snare drum helps a lot for the rhythm.

Mental Checklist: Daggoth Tick!

OK, I'm back on track after finishing LordSquall's one. (God, that took ages!) Please, when you give me lyrics make them as rhythmically regular as humanely possible! :wink:

Hey, could you give me one. Intruments... hmm... brass and drums. Make it martial, aggressive, and evil sounding. The kind of anthem that makes other nations pee their pants. Why? Because I'm egomanical. Thanks!

'k. Any particular brass instruments?

Well, probably trumpet and tuba and mid-section horn... bariton, trombone, of french, whatever sounds better. (By the way, screaming elecrtic guitar solos are cool in modern orchestra/rock combos... if you're really bored.) Thanks again!

bassoon, double bass, trombone and oboe

could i order a national anthem please? :)

for trombone, trumpet, violin and drums (like timpanis more than drum kit, if possible :) ) i know its an odd combination, but......

that'd be great thnx...

Simply because if i'm commissioned to write for a full orchestra it'll take me ages! Keep it simple, thats the key!

Sirocco, if you don't mind, can I take on the ones for full orchestral arrangements?

Certainly! I've got a few RL commissions so I can't do these all at once... :wink:

#tag#

I'm going to order one, but I have to think about what I want first. Great idea, Siroc!

This has been an OOC post.

Certainly! I've got a few RL commissions so I can't do these all at once... :wink:

Ok then.

I can do anything up to 256 parts (don't take the piss and ask for a 256 part piece, I'll never use all of them) in mp3 format for a full orchestra.

Average is about 8 parts, although some use less, some use a lot more.

(starts rewriting the Peng-Pese National Anthem...)

I've discovered modal scales... :D

I <3 Mixolidian and Dorian modes...

Oooh, random useless fact: The Simpsons theme tune is written in the Lydian mode.
Random useless fact #2: The first interval in said theme tune is a tritone, the hardest interval to sing.

every1 knows that every1s national anthem should be the most listened to song of the previous year thatway every1 gets sick of it and you dont have to hear it ever again

OOC: You guys actually can write full orchestras? Hmm... I have a RL project that needs soundtrack... I can't say more, but if you're even remotely interestes, please TG me.
