brody bergstrom Wow man, I appreciate that! There's still some things that I need to fix and add, including percussion. Make sure to check out the full score on MuseScore sometime! If not, then I'll probably repost it on here once it's done though!
ThePhantasticFule Thanks! It'll be updated even more after finals, and I'll post the final version with most/all of the perc here. Keep an eye out for it!
Lucky Stiff yeah, there was a tenor transcription in there with it but the audio didn't play for some reason 🤔 On that note, there is a ton more percussion on the MuseScore post, I'd recommend hearing that too whenever you feel like it!
Join my Discord server! discord.gg/m5292WcBgV Congrats to the 2018 World Champs! Hey everyone! I wanted to get this video out earlier, but I've been busy as of late. Hope you enjoy! One quick question though: once I have all of the percussion parts for this done, should I post all of the parts in one big video or should I post them into separate videos (only brass visible/only battery visible/etc.)? And don't forget that the full score with percussion is on musescore!

6:44-7:22 sounds like a drum corps show John Williams would write. Holy hell is there some elements of ET, Star Wars and even Jurassic Park in there! Favorite part of the show too I might add
The thing I liked most about Babylon was the show didn’t necessarily focus on the trumpet section as much as the rest of the corps. Especially the mello and baritone lines, who both have amazing parts as far as the horns go. What an amazing show that deserved the 2018 championship!
TheMTCrew of course! I noticed the ghosted percussion is on point, too! I’m absolutely blown away by this work! obviously this was done on musescore - what’s your account name so I can check it out on there? :)
It was amazing as usual! The only thing I could think of is the last measure in the frame at like 6:59, the mellophones go back up to the G (C) with everyone else. Other than that, I'll be studying this score because it's such an excellent book. You all never disappoint.
At 1:29 the other horns (not sure about tubas) have half notes instead of whole notes). I know this is 4 years since this transcription was made but ye. Other than that, the transcription is amazing
Could you possibly add the horn snap at 515? I know it's a transcription but just how they implemented it into the show. It made the show for me that click from the entire hornline followed by the amazing hit. Please add it lol I will love you forever
Hey, if you check out the score I already have it in. It should've been in this video, but the few battery parts I had don't play back on TH-cam for some reason (as the snap is a sound in the snare drum library). There are a ton of battery/front parts on Musescore if you go check it out there! musescore.com/themtcrew/babylon (Sorry I took so long to reply, TH-cam marked your comment as spam for some odd reason and I only just saw it!)
Although this brass is incredibly talented I love crown brass for the musical aspect of what they play. Something about this makes me feel it’s all over the place.
Just an fyi, maybe this will help you fix a problem (not with the transcription the transcription is great!) When i go to download with individual parts it says theres an error with the key thats keeping it from working
Matrix Gaming I've been told this by a few people now, I'll try to look into it tomorrow. Glad you like the score though! Until it's fixed, I imagine you could just download the MuseScore file then make parts within the score.
During the Metropolis closer, the 3rd and 4th set of rips that go from C to G (3rd) and C to G/C F# (4th) is wrong (at least from what I think after watching the mello cam like 18 trillion times😅). I pretty sure it's just 3 notes, E to G (3rd) and Eb to G/F# (4th). They aren't as big as the 1st and 2nds rips.
I’m not convinced that you’re right. Could you be a bit more specific? If you’re saying something like it shouldn’t be 4/4-3/4, and instead 7/4, or something like that, that’s fine. I don’t usually go for official sheet music accuracy, I just try to make it sound correct.
Gotcha. Yeah, I typically don’t care much for nailing the sheet music layout completely accurately. In practice, two measures of 3/4 is the same as one of 6/4, and it sounds the same in the program, so that’s usually what I go for. It’s a fair thing to be pointed out, but if I were to go back and try to make everything look like the sheet music, I may as well just post the official sheet music itself, you know?
@@TheMTCrew nevermind lol it's accurate. Something didn't feel right but I went and conducted the actual show and then your score in the same way. Everything checks out
It's kind of a musical grammar thing. Since the ending chord is a huge concert Eb unison, (Bb for mellos) it wouldn't make sense to write a E natural or B natural. It would be like saying a D major chord has D, Gb and A. It sounds right, but spelled wrong.
99% of this transcription was spent on making the mello line perfect.
FloWalking man spotted in the wild???
Tbh in my opinion the best shows are really mello heavy
I’m trying to do a cover of the trumpet and mello lines and some of the transcription on the mello isn’t correct. :/
6:45 arguably one of most incredible mello sequences in dci
I think the mello sustain at the end might be better, just sayin'
Take a listen to star 91
The opener in inferno (2015 crown) had an awesome mello part but I do agree that part was amazing
7:29 they say if you go to a Colts game to this day, you can still hear the mello sustain
Ethan Ray lmao, it rings in andrew lucks ears
I went to the 2019 finals and i can assure you i can still hear it😂
It is actually possible to capture sound in metal. maybe, just maybe we can still hear it.
5:26 that trumpet part makes me cry tears of joy
5:10 is the best moment in the show imo
I can literally hear the snap listening to this
In my opinion the mello runs near the end are the best part
The Good Bob also a god tier part
Actually one of the best transcriptions of any show I’ve ever listened too.
brody bergstrom Wow man, I appreciate that! There's still some things that I need to fix and add, including percussion. Make sure to check out the full score on MuseScore sometime! If not, then I'll probably repost it on here once it's done though!
TheMTCrew awesome man! I’ll give it a look when I get the chance!
I see some audible and visible mistakes my guy
This is actually pretty darn close man good job
ThePhantasticFule Thanks! It'll be updated even more after finals, and I'll post the final version with most/all of the perc here. Keep an eye out for it!
@Finn Jones he prob marched this show and sees some mistakes
Umm. No.
God like mello line and even more god like arranging
6:38 best dci mello sequence of all time
100% agree
lmao, the dance feature XD

TheMTCrew yes please post the percussion parts
You ever look into transcribing The Commandant's Own 2018 show? They have an absolutely year wrenching Mellophone solo!
6:44-7:22 sounds like a drum corps show John Williams would write. Holy hell is there some elements of ET, Star Wars and even Jurassic Park in there! Favorite part of the show too I might add
1:55 - 3:30 is my favorite part of the show! The music is outstanding!!
The thing I liked most about Babylon was the show didn’t necessarily focus on the trumpet section as much as the rest of the corps. Especially the mello and baritone lines, who both have amazing parts as far as the horns go. What an amazing show that deserved the 2018 championship!
My favorite DCI show put onto paper, well done.
5:27 is such a beautiful moment along with the AMAZING HORN SNAP OMG 12/10
the mello part in the closer is so beautiful
So so goooood ahhh. I have heard and seen this show countless times on video and it gets me every time. Unfortunately, I never got to watch it live
Jim ott bro nice.
Dillon Reese It'll be a disappointment if they don't!
Called it lol
Pretty great job. Not perfect, but hey you did by ear man! That is insane! Again, great job and thank you!
Jeff Gray the score is always changing as I hear clearer videos. Make sure to check that out on MuseScore too. Thank you though!
If you're ever on the market for an older show to transcribe, take a shot at Blue Devils 2011! Personal favorite show with amazing music.
It's writing like this that deserves a championship win
5:15 click
Hayden Para I hope he adds it. That millisecond made the show for me.
this is so amazing & a necessity
Thank you, glad you enjoy it!
TheMTCrew of course! I noticed the ghosted percussion is on point, too! I’m absolutely blown away by this work! obviously this was done on musescore - what’s your account name so I can check it out on there? :)
Kaylee O Thank you! I really appreciate that! My username is the same on MuseScore as it is on here, musescore.com/themtcrew/babylon!
Unpopular opinion but for me the best part of the show is the closer
This is far from an unpopular opinion😂
I love that d♭dim7 in the opener
Outstanding! Thank you!
Derrick Wilson Glad you like it! Make sure to check out the score on MuseScore too!
This is beautiful 😥
Francisco Echeverria it's really a great show!
they have the same closer as our last years marching show- flower mound high school band fractured moments
Oliver Ko wait you go to flower mound?
gj on taking first at boa dfw this past weekend
Leonel Salinas yea congrats. You guys still would’ve gotten first in finals but I’m still upset that it got rained out... Prosper got 9th smh
Great work!
I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT! HAHA
Haha, hope you like it! Further changes will be made and a full score with percussion will be added after the season ends. Look out for it!
It was amazing as usual! The only thing I could think of is the last measure in the frame at like 6:59, the mellophones go back up to the G (C) with everyone else. Other than that, I'll be studying this score because it's such an excellent book. You all never disappoint.
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'll look into this mello note, though, thanks for the input.
I will cry if you release a full battery transcription
Keep an eye out on the score on musescore.com! ;)
HOW THE HELL DO THE BARITONES HIT THAT HIGH G/A OH MY LORD, I CANT EVEN DREAM OF HITTING THAT
Noodles Luke11 you see how I feel trying to hit the damn double e on trumpet
almost every trombone and baritone in concert band 1 can hit a high ledger Bb at least my guy
Dra9onSlayer10 yeah and the one that is played in this show is 7 steps higher than that
@@dra9onslayer104 stupid
Dra9onSlayer10 if you can’t hit a triple c, then what are you doin my guy :\
Could you please, please do a marimba transcription?
David G I've already started on front ensemble parts. You can find them on Musescore!
Love this show so many... Mello
Bravo!
That DA-DA-DA-DA sequence at the beginning sounded like a cowbell to me, but you probably right to have that in this because I’m no genius
came here for 3:55
At 1:29 the other horns (not sure about tubas) have half notes instead of whole notes). I know this is 4 years since this transcription was made but ye. Other than that, the transcription is amazing
Sure hope you do this for SCV 2019. I believe It's even more insane than this one!
2:49
Nice
5:30 You’re welcome
and in measure 160 the mellophones take the C up an octave
let’s collab
Hey! I’d definitely be interested. I’m in college, so I don’t have much free time, but I could find some! What did you have in mind?
are you ever going to do blue devils 2018
The range on those baritones are crazy, I can barely squeak a double f poorly let alone a double g on a large shank Yamaha 😫
Nobody talking about 5:47 that part in finals was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Although this brass is incredibly talented I love crown brass for the musical aspect of what they play. Something about this makes me feel it’s all over the place.
Random Name this year I was a little disappointed how underrated the Cavs were they killed their music.
Tubas have that run at the beginning too, believe it or not.

I’m pretty sure measure 9 is supposed to be a measure of 7/8, but I might be wrong on that. Killer job tho!
Y’all gave the mellos the opening baritone feature in the second movement :(
Can you do 2018 Spirit of Atlanta Knock please?
5:16 is the moment you're looking for
Can you do Crown next please?
Boston crusaders 2018 anyone?🤔
Also Cadets too, which now means 3 corps played the same song in 1 year
how do i snap in Bb
metropolis 1927 1-15
6:39
The Mello sustain part is wrong time signature wise but overall this is great

any reason why 1:47 has a C flat instead of just a B? in the mello part that is
It's kind of a musical grammar thing. Since the ending chord is a huge concert Eb unison, (Bb for mellos) it wouldn't make sense to write a E natural or B natural. It would be like saying a D major chord has D, Gb and A. It sounds right, but spelled wrong.
3:03 to 3:31 ... yes
It bothers me double g isn't written for the trumpets in the final chord
measure 94 in the mello part is what the bari's should have
I could help transcribe some of the marimba parts if you are down?
dang missed so many mello high C's... but overall amazing
you missed the high C at the end of the section at 3:32 :(
Why name the show "Babylon" if they're not going to include the David Gray single. Such deception! 😜
All the brass parts are in the same key?
can you send me just the mello parts? If you can let me know and I’ll give you my email
if you want me to I can copy it down because I compose for fun
Kevin Leshinsky sure thanks. Do you need my email?
