Orchestra Video Game Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to Video Games Live, Suite from (Ralph Ford, Grade 5) and Halo Theme (Marty O'Donnell, Grade 3.5), which consistently sell well across ensembles. Minecraft by Daniel Rosenfeld (Grade 2.5) has proven popular with younger and developing orchestras. Lion's Pride from World of Warcraft (Jason Hayes, Grade 1.5) reaches students who may be newer to reading parts.

Ralph Ford brings three decades of university teaching and broadcast industry experience to this collection. A prolific arranger with over 250 titles across orchestral and band formats, Ford has built a reputation for intelligent, performable writing that respects both the source material and the ensemble's skill level. His Video Games Live arrangement anchors the collection.

Bob Phillips stands out as a pioneering voice in string education, known for developing eclectic styles that keep students engaged across different musical idioms. His pedagogical approach spans multiple series including Sound Innovations, and his work reaches thousands of students annually. While his contributions here are smaller in number, they reflect his consistent focus on building strong fundamentals through music that matters to young musicians.

Jason Hayes, a standout video game composer in his own right, appears both as original composer and arranger in this collection. His World of Warcraft music has proven durable in the classroom, particularly Lion's Pride, which gives student orchestras access to music written by someone who understands both game composition and orchestral writing.
