More Leftovers tributes…

Wasn’t all that thrilled with vo/v1 of “The Departure” and “Only Questions” …. plus I discovered it would be cool to rewrite (re-arrange) “Sanctus” and do it up in 4/4. Then mash it all up so as to not waste space on my free musescore account(s). MAJOR aesthetic changes to score were made — and we’re not done yet. Still a WIP is Max’s “On Reflection” the theme from “Nosedive” possibly my favorite Black Mirror episode. Also, the bed playing when Patti says her last words to Kevin are not in the sound track, but they resemble a reprise of Dona Nobis Pacem II (???? methinks) so, this being perhaps one of the triumphs of modern videography, it deserves a crtique, analysis, tribute and likely an arrangement of the Richter’s lilting refrain as Patti quotes 19th Century Poet Yeats…..

Kevin
You want me to kill you.
Patti
Oh Kevin you can't kill me you don't have the fuckin balls.
I want you to commit. I want you to finish what you started.
I want you to go all the way.
I want you to say you understand.
Kevin
Understand what?
Patti
What's happened. What's happening. to ME.
To you.
Music crescendos as she laments the end of a life she considers long gone already; secretly relishing in the pain this will inflict on Garvey. then she delivers the best line of the entire series: a poem titled He Bids His Beloved Be At Peace, by W.B. Yeats.
O vanity of Sleep, Hope, Dream, endless Desire,
The Horses of Disaster plunge through the heavy clay:
Beloved, let your eyes half close, and your heart beat
Over my heart, and your hair fall over my breast,
Drowning love's lonely hour in deep twilight of rest,
And hiding their tossing manes and tumultuous feet.

Kevin.
Kevin.
Kevin Garvey.
You don't have to hide from me.**

Careful editing went into getting Yeats’ spelling, words and punctuation right. Vox was WAYYY off. So were most of the fan tribute sites and Reddit threads.
So here’s so early WIP trasncriptions arrangements …..The+Departure+More+Leftovers+arrangements…” by Tapper7

New “Leftover” arrangements ….

*update* my bad – my arrangement ( on v1 now!) wasn’t up yet. it is now. “The Departure” and an excerpt from “She Remembers” are featured. Also got a podcast WIP for next time. Topics like Tom Perotta, Damon Lindeloff, The Guilty Remnant, cool piano music, sad 19th century poetry, music/audio production and maybe even “Black Mirror” will be discussed. –It’s popular TV show, get over yourself….jeezis…. anyway lets try on some Leftover-inspired open-source MIDI by the gang of one at SSStudios, LA cee-ayy.
The+Departure+More+Leftovers+arrangements…” by Tapper7
Damn, Max Richter is one hell of a composer. Had to pay tribute and to the writers who picked out music that was as special/unique/original as the groundbreaking HBO series itself. This one I plan to write out for brass ensemble/drum corps….grabs you by the heart and then even harder by the neck. Richter is a modern Barber. Here is ver1 of my tribute/transcription arrangement (just went live) *update* I want to expand extensively on this one, also located Adagio for Strings v7 so I updated a few things, think this is v8, has a few wrong notes, sorry I was tired….this arr previously had 5000+ views and was by far one of the most popular arrangements online.
Musescore pulled it cuz i guess in Germany [???] it wasnt public dom. yet. so stay tuned for my Letfover[s] suite…..
