"Come, Follow Me"

(This can be played in a round)

My favorite video game franchise with the best OST ever and it has actually some nice songs with only naturals because of the ocarina 

Link's Ocarina Songs (OoT)
the brackets represents a "complement" to the original ocarina song, usually played in environments such as Saria's Song and Lost Woods, just so it sounds cooler

This is great Nagati and Mirian, thank you for posting these music sheets 🤗😀
I find getting the phrasing right difficult so they probably won’t sound quite as they should, but thanks to your patience in transcribing them I can have fun trying.

Thanks Nagati!

I'm Basya in Sky and have only just found these forums after playing  Sky since Beta opened in January.  What a great resource this music thread is!  Thanks!

I do like the notification system you've devised — it will make things much easier!  However, am I right that B3 would be middle C?  That would actually give us two octaves from Low C thru Middle C and on up to High C.  I've been looking at what few song books I have and have been trying to figure it out.

Cya in Sky!

Last time I checked the whole Wasteland level was tuned to A major 

Ah. Ok, hope this makes more sense for you, or for any future readers who aren't familiar with music terms.

This will be in two parts. I'll explain what the term "key of music" refers to, and then get to what I think I understand what you're asking as far as playing the Sky harp. The first part is to answer the question in your post above, but the second part will probably be most helpful for what you were asking in your first post.

You know when people sing "do re me fa so la ti do"? That's a basic scale. It's also referred to as a major scale--the plain old scale we most often hear and learn. Think of it as a super simple song. Like any other song, when you sing it, you can start on any note off the top of your head, and as long as you know the melody (the main tune of the music), you can sing it a bit higher or a bit lower than whoever originally sang it, but the basic pattern/tune of the notes/melody is the same.

Same thing with do-re-mi. You can start one whatever note you want and just sing up and down that scale on the notes that the syllables represent. The upper "do" is the octave to the lower "do"--the same note, but higher.

Now. Imagine a piano keyboard (or refer to a piano keyboard in an app or an online piano). You can play that full do-re-mi scale starting from any key (in the "button" sense of the word) you want on the keyboard. If you start it from middle C, then as you go up the scale, you'll only press the white keys. If you start on G, you'll press all white keys except that instead of regular F, you'd play F-sharp (the black key just before the upper G that is the final "do" on that scale). And if you start on D on the piano, you'll play both an F# and a C# as you go up the scale (again, those are the black keys in between F and G, and in between C and D, respectively).

So the word "key" in terms like "key of D" and "key of C" tells whoever is playing/singing what the "do" note is for the do-re-mi scale that a particular song is written in. You can think of it as the "home" note for what the rest of the song is tuned to. So D is the "do" or the home note in song written in the key of D. Same respectively for C, G, etc.

That long explanation was to break down the term "key of music." But you probably won't need to know all of that in order to figure out songs based on your songbook. 😆

The Sky harp is written in two octaves of "do re mi fa so la ti do." So, when you play it, technically, you don't need to worry about what symbol for the harp corresponds to which note in sheet music. If the song you want to play is tuned to any major key--that is, if the notes that make up the song all sound like the familiar "do re mi fa so la ti do"--then you can treat A1, B3, or C5 exactly like whatever note is the "do" of your song's do-re-mi scale. So if a song in your songbook is in key of C, and it has no extra flats or sharps, treat B3 like C and you can play your song. If your song is in key of G but has no extra flats or sharps, same deal: treat B3 like the G in that scale, and you can play all you want.

(If the song you want to play has a bunch of sharps and flats that are outside the scale of the key that the song is written in, you won't be able to play it on the harp without it sounding strange. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
