Harmonic orchestra

Does anyone know of any game music using harmonic orchestra? Please mention them in this thread, I'm now playing in a harmonic orchestra and maybe I could introduce some game music to this orchestra.

This means only with percussion, piano, contrabas, brass and woodwinds.

I'm also interested in anime music using only harmonic orchestra...

It seems that all the music I listen to, always has strings in it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, yeah, actually I also am in search of band music! I'm also playing in a band. There is a great difference between band music and harmonic orchestra. You can't just put them together.
Yoko Kanno's Wolf's Rain has great band music, you couldn't just put that in an orchestra with 30 woodwinds and 30 brass players...

To give you an example: I transcribed Sergei Mantis - Sea Breeze for sax, trumpet, bass and piano (that were the available instruments...) I also made a solo melody on Arc The Lad - Music Man for sax.
I was playing in a real amateur band, so I wanted to play more, but they couldn't handle it in such little time. (3 weeks of repetitions)

And I'll check out Soul Calibur, Xenosaga and FMA. Haven't heard them yet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So, is there anything out there in the video game music world or anime world for any combination of: flute, sax, trumpet, piano, violin, tuba, bass guitar, band percussion?

The best I've come up with is "Wings of Time, Time and Space" a Tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda. Also "Men's Dirge" of Radiata Stories.
Even Hamauzu's Aeolic Guardian of Musashiden 2 is playable but very difficult.
Grandia 2 has some flute - piano, violin - piano pieces. "The moon - Utikisama" of FFX would be great with violin and piano. "Another Guldove" of Chrono Cross for Guitar/piano and clarinet/flute/sax is doable.

In Anime land I've found "Curacao Selvagem" of Wolf's Rain with the melody played by sax.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm getting into that dragon quest suggestion, thanks.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm thinking about Cowboy Bebop, No dog no biscuit. Would it be ambiant enough with percussion, sax, trumpet, tuba, bass guitar and piano? I tried a violin, but it really sounds awful, together with the brass. [I played some of the melody on violin together with the live version on a cd, the only thing the violin could do was playing the short repeated notes]

The only things I'm afraid of are:

- Difficult solo's for trumpet, those improvised chaotic things they do...
- Not enough brass to make it ambiant, we only have a tuba, sax and trumpet, and besides, the tuba would only fit with the bass melody, the solo melody played by tuba is too heavy I think.
- We don't have this electric guitar doing a solo, so it has to be done with maybe the piano.

I'm thinking:
Piano: solo + bass
Tuba: bass
Trumpet: melody
Sax + bass guitar: recurring short notes
percussion...

I would go for it, let's see what happens...

How ya doing, buddy?

I've made an arrangement of the Sakuraba theme of Tales of the Abyss, The Arrow is Shot. I think it's playable with violin, sax, drum, piano, trumpet, bass and tuba.

Here is what I've got: http://filelodge.bolt.com/files/room...0is%20shot.mp3

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
