I spent longer on this one than I had to on most of the other pieces that I've uploaded. My arrangement is made up of two pieces from the Land Before Time movie. Each piece has several different melodies in it, and I wanted to include as many as I could. Hopefully despite the length it is still interesting all the way through - there's some really great melody lines, and interesting chords :)

1. End Credits (James Horner)
The first piece in the arrangement (the last in the actual soundtrack) is just over 6 minutes (in the real version) - I play about 3 and half minutes of it, cutting out one of the themes which has a little too much going on for a piano version. Anyways, I replicate the melodies pretty exactly, following the key changes and everything. As with all my performances by ear, I don't usually try to replicate the backing instruments exactly because I can't play every instrument in the orchestra, on the piano! However I try to get across the feel and colour of the piece as much as I can.

2. The Great Migration (James Horner)
The second piece that this arrangement includes is ironically the first track in the soundtrack. It has one of my favourite themes - the horn solo at about 1:55 in the real piece. I condensed the beginning of the piece into the iconic circle of fifths progression that runs through the whole first bit of the piece. After that first awesome theme I return to one of the themes in the first piece. I skip all the repeats since I already have it earlier, and transition to the last bit of the piece - and back in the correct key! Unfortunately the end is a little rushed, because my camera can only record exactly 8 minutes 24 seconds (no idea why..), so I was constantly looking at my watch to make sure I wasn't going to get cut off.


Anyways, that's that :P a nice long description haha. Sorry for the few mistakes scattered in there.

Enjoy!
