Notes from Nabeel about this arrangement:
Gusty Garden Galaxy is the most iconic theme in the Super Mario Galaxy franchise, and I was happy to select it when The Game Brass invited me to their new space-themed project. I had never written for brass before —except for a short quintet I did as an assignment in college— and selected an octet after some deliberation. I enjoyed exploring the textures made possible by these instruments and have gained quite a deep, newfound appreciation for chamber brass! This piece was also an exercise in form, as I wanted to turn Gusty Garden into a narrative adventure that spanned beyond the initial themes from the game.

The first section of the piece runs through the form from the original piece, manifesting in its 3 distinct themes, playing with textural combinations of the octet along the way. It is in the original key of Db. The middle section joyfully departs from the main Gusty Garden form to play with other themes from the game, referencing the aesthetic of the Viennese Waltz. Gusty Garden re-enters to join this texture, using a 3/4 variation of its first theme, which is also contrapuntally rewritten to layer seamlessly as a countermelody. Following the conclusion of the waltz, and after a quieter and more solemn visitation to the second theme, the final section returns to the fanfaric third theme after a playful circular modulation to the key of Eb, a whole-step upward from the original key.

Before concluding with the famous “bVI – bVII – I” chord progression ever-present in the Mario franchise, the resolution is subverted into a coda rife with interplay between the various instruments, continuously punctuating itself with variations of the triplet intro phrase from the start of the piece. The coda is based on the chord progression “I – iv”, which is at times culturally associated with outer space.

The final three chords of the piece again subvert the resolution of “bVI – bVII – I”, instead first landing on a bII, then pulling towards a striking bI#15 (or Ebbmaj13 with an added Eb) and then finally resolving on I, the tonic chord.

This piece represents a lot of my compositional growth in many areas, and it was incredibly fulfilling to arrange this for The Game Brass. It’s the first time I’ve heard my music played by a dedicated ensemble, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I also owe my progress on this piece to my composition teacher, Dr. Benjamin Wallace (aka DrThrex), who has ever been a guiding hand on my journey to elevate my musical development.
