Dzsono: You can never go wrong with Stones from Ultima! This is off the soundtrack for Ultima IX.

Tarnicus: You beat me to it! Although I was going to link the versions from Ultima 6(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4YztEVXk7s) and Ultima 7(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-241S8g6P_U).

The Vesper theme from Ultima Online(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svmbI811xm0) and Cove as well(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t8KFwPoYTo).

<3 midi music
Cool. I followed a link in the comments to download midi versions of all Ultima songs. I lined it up in Reaper with a few of my favourite synths and now Stones has a nice (weird) dubstep vibe ^_^

SirPrimalform, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

ellynandroid: Yeah, I realised that as I started working with them and listening more closely. :P I've already gotten part of the main theme done! This is going to be quite a project.

SirPrimalform: The main tune(s) should fit nicely on a D whistle as well as two different octaves in first position on a fiddle (I think the lowest note is a G). I'm hoping to persuade the ceilidh band I'm in that we should learn it. It shouldn't be too hard since there's a notable number of Zelda fans in the band and we already play Deku Scrub Palace from Majora's Mask as a polka...
Oh, believe you me, they're perfect. I'm going to have to manipulate it around the lower notes that pop up but it's really fun to work with. I'd love to turn it into a piece I could play with a violinist or something, but alas I'm only me so I've got to arrange it as a solo. There isn't really anyone else in my area who plays music — or at least not celtic music, and much less music from a videogame.

Also — your band sounds awesome. What do you play?

Gazoinks: There's a bunch of nice sheet music here. Mostly Zelda, but some other stuff too.
Oh, cool! Thanks! I'll have a look through that. :)

I didn't think there were any lower notes out of the range of the whistle or violin since a D whistle has 2+ octaves from D upwards and in first position alone the violin has over two octaves (two and a major third I think).
I bet there are people, they can just be hard to find... there's got to be a session in a pub somewhere. Folk + video games is a pretty rare combination though.

I play octave mandola as a rhythm/chord instrument. I joined as a melody player but switched to rhythm so our bass player (who was playing rhythm guitar at the time) could play the bass. Also I was kind of redundant as a melody player because we have plenty of melody players (whistle, fiddle, mandolin, concertina, accordion and melodeon/low whistle).
