    Birth of a Spartan is not coming along so well. I have had a few technical difficulties with Finale and have finally fixed a few problems only to realize that this song is very hard to put into sheet music. I cant seem to find a way to get it to sound …

    I’ve finally gotten around to getting this up. This piece takes a little practice to play but overall is not very hard. The file includes .mus (Finale Printmusic 2011) as usual, but I have a surprise for you guys this time! It also has a pdf and an mid…

    I finally finished putting together the E3 2007 theme for piano. It is fairly difficult to play but it is still possible. I went to my old “Halo Main Theme Extended Maw Version” transcription and added parts from the E307 trailer. There are a few mistakes that I could not fix but overall I think…

    This is the theme that you hear as soon as you find Cortana. In the file it will show parts for the violin, cello, and of course the piano. Note: I have the violin and cello’s midi set to play like an orchestra to sound much more like the original piece. If you would like…

    spartan182

    This is a transcription of the music in Halo 3’s main menu after the main theme. I believe it to be called Unforgotten. This transcription is arranged for a violin cello and a piano. The timing for this one is off by a bit but the notes are the right ones. Again, I have given…

    Here is the first half of the Halo 3 E306 Announcement Trailer. That is all that I have worked on. I tried to make the timing as close as possible but in the end I am about a quarter note off. Anyway I have provided you with a PDF and Finale 2003. This is for…

    I was taking another look at some of the sheet music earlier and I noticed that there was no Halo 2 theme. So I decided to transcribe it. The format is again only for Finale Notepad but will be available in PDF shortly. I also added “The Maw” transcription done by Poop Scoop to the…

    After working on it for almost 4 months, I have decided that this is good enough. It is only for Finele Notepad; so if you dont have that program, you can’t view it. If you can view it, then enjoy! I am currently working on the rest of the trailer and hopefully will have it…
