The original has no ending, so I wrote a little Coda for it to play after the reprise of the first strain. Tavern Theme (Bar Fight), from Dragon Quest VIII - 26 October 2017 A cute little boogie-woogie number that a YouTuber suggested to me. This is what being a musician is all about. Simplify or complicate the tunes to suit your skill and desire. Just as you can say the same thing using different words, so you can play the same tune using different notes. It tells you what is being said, but it is up to you to say it. has clipped notes, shading, accents, the right swing if necessary, etc.). I only want to present a MIDI file here if work has gone into making it sound decent (i.e. Yes, I could export from the scoring program, but that would make for a really crappy-sounding MIDI file. Q: Why aren't there MIDI files for everything? - A: Because it takes work that I don't want to do. Just filling out chords here and there doesn't count (and most people don't even do that much). As a musician and composer myself, I can't justify putting my name as an arranger unless I really added something. I don't have the kind of ego that allows me to do that. They also insist that the person who makes a score put his name as an "arranger" even if there's little to no real arranging involved. They also insist that they put a copyright to their site on the scores, which morally is even more wrong than presenting these scores in the first place. Q: Why don't you put your scores on site Y? - A: Because site Y requires scores to be made in Finale.

Q: Why did you do tune X when there's already a sheet on site Y? - A: Because the sheet on site Y was an unreadable mess, inaccurate, too simple, or a combination of the three. I may have used an existing transcription or MIDI file as a basis for my score. While some of these tunes were transcribed by me, many were transcribed by others and I just wrote them down properly. Also, there are many things here that Tom has not played.

Some of the things I've shown Tom were scores made by others. This page will contain only scores that I made. This is not a definitive "all VGM that Tom Brier has played" page. Where applicable, in the small text below each title, I will include a YouTube link to a performance of someone using my score, or possibly a rendered MP3 or MIDI file. This list will be in reverse chronological order, so the newest files will appear at the top. Since I've made so many by now, I decided there should be an actual page.
