Keine Videospiele-Reihe erfreut sich seit fast drei Jahrzehnten einer so enormen Beliebtheit, wie die Abenteuer um den kleinen Klempner, Prinzessin Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi und Co. Neben den niedlichen Animationen und den tollen Einfällen, mit denen die Entwickler Generationen von Fans verzaubern, ist es vor allem die Musik, welche Jung und Alt in aller Welt gleichermaßen verzaubert. Und was gäbe es für einen echten Mario-Fan nicht schöneres, als die Melodien seiner Stars einmal selbst nachzuspielen? Das müssen sich wohl auch die Verantwortlichen beim Alfred-Verlag gedacht haben, als sie sich mit dem Konzept für eine Sammlung an Mario- Titeln befassten. Herausgekommen sind Songbooks, die so bunt und quietschvergnügt daher kommen, wie Mario und Co. An dieser Stelle wollen wir euch die beiden Hefte Super Mario Series for Eays Piano und Super Mario Series for Guitar vorstellen. Beide Hefte umfassen die beliebtesten Hits vergangener Mario-Spiele. Es geht los mit Hits aus Super Mario Bros. Die Notensätze bzw. Gitarren-Tabulatur sind zwar nicht direkt für den absoluten Einsteiger geeignet. Doch mit einiger Übung können sie schnell erlernt werden. Alle Songs sind mit Tempoangaben versehen und hervorragend (und vor allem sauber!) ausnotiert. Nach dem ersten Kapitel folgt mit Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels ein relativ kurzes Kapitel, das nur einen Titel enthält. Der Fan weiß natürlich sofort, dass hier eine Chronologie der Spiele vorliegt. Und so verwundert es auch nicht, dass die nächsten Kapitel Super Mario Bros. 3 , Super Mario World , Dr. Mario , Super Mario Kart , Super Mario World 2 , Super Mario 64 , Mario Kart 64 , Super Mario Sunshine , New Super Mario Bros. , Super Mario Galaxy , Mario Kart Wii und New Super Mario Bros. Wii sind. Damit haben die Autoren tatsächlich alle Konsolengenerationen abgedeckt, mit Ausnahme des DS / 3DS. Abgerundet wird das Heft in der Gitarrenversion von einigen hübschen Bildern aus den unterschiedlichen Mario-Spielen. Diese fehlen allerdings in der Easy Piano -Version. Schade! Fazit: Fans aufgepasst: Endlich gibt es das, wonach ihr euch sehnt! Wer einigermaßen gut Klavier spielen kann oder Gitarre, der sollte zugreifen. Dank hervorragender Edition zwei tolle und absolut überzeugende Bände. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Einen Punktabzug gibt es für die Klavier-Ausgabe, da hier die schönen Bilder fehlen.

GAME SCORING: TOWARDS A BROADER THEORY by Mack Enns Popular Music & Culture A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada © Mack Enns 2015 Abstract “Game scoring,” that is, the act of composing music for and through gaming, is distinct from other types of scoring. To begin with, unlike other scoring activities, game scoring depends on — in fact, it arguably is — software programming. The game scorer’s choices are thus first-and-foremost limited by available gaming technology, and the “programmability” of their musical ideas given that technology, at any given historical moment.

Robert Garner In order to rescue Princess Peach from another of Bowser’s kidnappings, Mario must brave various galaxies in the dark reaches of space - including the beautiful but dangerous Gusty Garden galaxy, full of treacherous creatures and nasty drops.

  • Concert Program
    The Gamer Symphony Orchestra at the University of Maryland Fall 2016 Concert Saturday, November 19, 2016 @7:00pm Dekelboum Concert Hall Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center Leanne Cetorelli, Conductress Michael Mitchell, Conductor umd.gamersymphony.org About the Gamer Symphony Orchestra In Fall 2005, student violist Michelle Eng sought to create an orchestral group that played the music of video games. With a half- dozen others from the University of Maryland Repertoire Orchestra, she founded the GSO to achieve that dream. By the ensemble’s first public performance in Spring 2006, its size had quadrupled. Today, the GSO provides a musical and social outlet to 110+ members. It is the world’s first college-level ensemble to draw its repertoire exclusively from the soundtracks of video games. The ensemble is entirely student run, which includes conducting and musical arranging. In February 2011, the GSO’s arrangement of “Korobeiniki” from Tetris was performed in collaboration with Video Games Live and The National Philharmonic to two sold-out houses at the Strathmore in Bethesda, MD. In May 2012 and 2015, as a part of the Art of Video Games Exhibit, the GSO performed at the American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. in the central atrium. Aside from its concerts, the GSO had a special role at the Video Games Live also holds the “Deathmatch for Charity” event every spring. All proceeds from this hours long video game tournament benefit the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The Gamer Symphony Orchestra has also fostered the creation of many more video game orchestras around the country, including the Washington Metropolitan GSO, the Magruder High School GSO, the Damascus High School GSO, the Baltimore GSO, the 8-Bit Orchestra, the Ithaca College GSO, PXL8, the Video Game Orchestra, G.A.M.E., the Seattle Video Game Orchestra & Choir, the Reno Video Game Symphony, the CSUN GSO, and the Game Music Ensemble at UCLA.
