i hope i dont go toomuch offtopic with this one,but since u asked...
at first i knew i couldnt use any large scale of musicians and/or instruments.but it was quite easy once we started, since the morrowind tune has a slow melodic main theme played by diferent instruments.the background is strictliy follow-up or just moody noise so that was easy to cover.
what started as a quartet ended as a mini-orchestra.first there were 2 classical guitars,piano and a flute,but we added a violin,a timpan(that one completed the sound),and i met a guy that played cello (and morrowind:-)) and was eager to participate.
we started the tune with timpan and the flute,adding the background noise with 2guitars arrpegio,and then exchanged the instruments playing main theme in the mike oldfield fassion.we blended all tunes from the game that had the main melody(the bridge was the Fight tune,beautifully preformed by flute+cello+violin).all other bridges were improvised.
we were able to strech it for about 10 minutes and it worked out fine.
all this was performed by enthusiasts and mostly musical amateurs,with verry little sheet or notes arrangement,but it was quite a happening on our little town's stage.
