0:00 Genshin Impact Main Theme. Scott had a longer draft but we only used 16 bars to cut down the overall length of the medley. 0:42 Windborne Hymn, the music at the church. This piece was chosen primarily because its tonality (A major) fits well with the main theme (G lydian and it ends on an E major triad!). In addition to that, frequent borrowing of chords from A minor makes it easier to connect to the next piece (F major). I also made some variations to the melody. 1:16 Bustling Afternoon of Mondstadt. We made it start slowly, gradually gain momentum and finally rush into the battle that comes after. The transition was a bit tricky due to the difference between the lively melody in Mondstadt and the longer phrases in the battle. We skipped the middle section (kinda pre-chorus?) to keep it short. 1:58 Rite of Battle. We picked a more lyrical section of the pieces with the simplest rhythmic patterns (boy there are 5/8 6/8 7/8 everywhere!) At the end we inserted the Teyvat battle motif (in 15/8) which first appeared in Photon of Fluctuation (didn't use that piece because it doesn't really have a melody, not so good for our medley). 2:39 3 pieces from Springvale and Dawn Winery. The winery one has been transposed to A minor to save trouble from switching keys. For each piece we only used a short section and discarded the rest (sorry to Travis who arranged the pieces). The final transition to Boreal Wolf was mind-bending because the qualities of two pieces don't fit well. In the finalised draft we compromised by completely stopping the music at a dominant 7th chord before banging on the tonic and kick-starting the battle. 3:44 Symphony of Boreal Wind. The build-up from the strings section was so epic that we failed to recreate it on the piano - so what y'all see is kinda free arrangement of the original piece, with Animenz-ish textures as opposed to Yu-Peng's string ostinato. 5:31 Charge! Fearless Warriors. Having this one after Boreal Wolf has always been in Scott's mind because both pieces are in Bb minor (what a precious coincidence!) and the ostinato at the end of wolf theme dilutes the different time signatures between two pieces. 6:42 Forlorn Child of Archaic Winds and Forsaken Child Ancient Times, both transposed to D minor to match the next piece. Both harmony and texture have been significantly modified to fit into the flow of music and storytelling. 7:38 Riders of the Wind, Onward. Stage 1 of Dvalin battle. Fun(?) fact: it's in 20/16. 8:05 Caelestinum Finale Termini! The melody before the improvisation is actually found in the woodwind section, just that we played in double speed. Scott played the final chorus way faster than in his upload 1 year ago - a surprise to the old fans lol and it's stunning. 9:19 Tender Strength. Great because Dvalin battle is in G minor and this piece starts on G major triad (IV of D major). Later it goes to G major and gives smooth transition to the main theme in G lydian. For this piece we sticked to the original as closely as possible. 10:15 Genshin Impact Main Theme, again. The harmony has been varied in a way which Scott forgot when he first heard of it. Later we found it in a CG - featuring Tender Strength and Main Theme after Dvalin Battle! I guess no wonder we pick the two pieces. The way Liyue motif (and the subsequent Moon in One’s Cup) emerges from the main theme is also quite surprising.
I love that about the dvalin 1st stage theme you put a question mark about the fact that it's in 20/16, I feel the pain just reading but oh god how I feel the pain too listening because of the intensity and the sound, the arrangement is so good, how the melody poured itself into Caelestinum Finale Termini was... incredible, and I digress, anyway made me laugh a bit
The ordering is phenomenal. It's a journey, and it's emotionally retaining; we get the majesty of Genshin's Mondstadt that hits us when we first start playing, then all the beauty, then the intense tracks, but with some down time since none of that compares to the slowly built finale of Dvalin, and Tender Strength (that I personally always associate with Venti)--- I'm running out of words, I love this so much
Srsly, why is this guy still 48k subs? He deserves more than 500k even. He does hard work playing them and those midi ones get all the attention ;( Edit: This is so damn amazing. That ending before Tender Strength is so, so damn brilliant! Combination of a lot of famous classical pianist composers!
I know wtf... TH-cam must hate him somehow... I just don't understand lol... I honestly feel so privileged to be able to hear someone of his caliber play all my favourite Genshin music...
1:26 I have never appreciated Monstadt's theme this much before, it even feels nostalgic, this is so beautiful 😭 3:05 SPRINGVALE TO DAWN WINERY-- My two most favorite??? 5:58 Damn I never knew this sounded so good on piano
Hello? Who told you to play Tender Strength after Caelestinum Finale Termini? When Tender Strength played after Venti opened his eyes, I literally shivered and felt the tears stinging my eyes. You sadist! How dare you make me feel things! Great medley! I absolutely loved it!
Absolutely phenomenal. I can't describe in words how much I love this, but dammit I'll give it a try Music has always been the best part of Genshin for me. All of the locations, the memorable battles and encounters, were all linked together through music. Take Dvalin for instance - coming to Stormterror's lair for the first time and hearing Forlorn Child of Archaic Winds, you can hear and feel Dvalin's entire tragedy as you wander through the broken, ruined city. Transitioning into Riders of the Wind, you can feel Dvalin's sorrow and Mondstadt's crisis all coming together into a decisive battle, ending in Caelestinum Finale Termini. Hearing a new take on all these incredible themes really brings me right back to when I first experienced all these moments. Thanks so much for the arrangement Scott! I hope everyone listening has a happy anniversary and let's all get hyped for the concert!
I'm loving the anniversary pieces that have been popping up recently. It's been a wild journey we've made, and I kind of don't want it to end. But sadly, all adventures come to end, so, I guess we should make the most of it. ^^
I like how you did the arrangement as how the story progresses. I had a nostalgia did the same thing to his Konosuba cover. This is a very good job indeed. Thanks to those who helped you with this arrangement. Also thanks to Hoyo-mix and Yu-Peng chen for creating auch wonderful and impactful music. And thanks to you too for continuing to create these sensational covers. Despite all the hate towards the game, I think no one would hate the music they are making. So still HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
i can’t believe i could watch a massive talent in whole 11 mins for free. what a time to be alive. YOOOO WTF WAS THAT CAELESTIUM FINALE TERMINI!? IT WAS FIRE
Happy Genshin anniversary! I'm really impressed with the quality of all of your arrangements and performances, rightfully deserved 50k subs. Also great selection of pieces, they represent the journey perfectly, some of them are really nostalgic and made me want to get on the game xD.
listening to this actually brings back a lot of memories i made back then when i started genshin .. kinda nostalgic feeling... i kinda forgot that feeling but listening to it feels so good! even if im not that deep into the game anymore thanks for this awesome cover your skills are insane and also congratz on reaching 50k subs !! to the 100k you go !!!!
Absolutely sublime. Thank you for sharing. The music in this game is truly some of the best I've heard in any video game and you captured that magic perfectly
Made me feel emotional, the transitions and slow to fast/more momentum was so good. You’re my favorite pianist because you make your pieces have so much emotion and feeling to it! Keep up the great work
the build up from 7:38 to 8:05 is just AMAZING i might of cried a tiny bit while listening to this entire thing because it fills me with nostalgia from when i first started the game. it brings me peace because its mondstadt, and its so beautifully composed. thank you so much.
WOW. This is just beautiful!! I love all of your piano covers and this is just magnificent! I can’t wait for Liyue so I can cry some more. (also, whoever makes your fight videos is really good at cinematography wow)
Happy anniversary! Honestly I am so grateful for all the joy and tears that you brought us last year. All your covers are so mesmerizing. When I listen to them, it's like the whole world disappears. Thank you thank you thank you.
I remember the time when u said that Andrius theme was a bit hard to arrange... Maaaannn ! U just amazed me all long specifically to this Andrius moment and ur second version of Caelestinum F.T. U did a very great job, congrats for u talents.
YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY. Symphony of Boreal Winds gave me chills, I've always hoped you would cover that T_T
Happy Genshin anniversary!!! Thank you for uploading such a moving and beautiful medley 😭🙏 I always look forward to your covers and you’ve never let me down!! This probably goes for the majority of us too. Thank you to you, Jasper and Travis for arranging this masterpiece!! :)
This is so beautiful!!!! You've got wonderful skills! I was completely blown away by your performance😭❤❤ Thank you so much for your effort, I genuinely loved this ❤❤❤
I really love all of your piano cover in Genshin Impact! you are so incredible yet soo underrated. as i also play piano, i know already you are on a whole different level
omg i actually have been having an idea about a perfect piano cover of winborne hymn that can fit to be the cathedral's night theme. i even imagine if the lights in the cathedral is off at one night but the marble still reflects the moonlight so beautifully. and there you've made it and also made my imagination running wild again

noiceeee
The man, the legend, and the hero Animenz' style was in this arr.?? Awesome!
People complaining about rewards in a free game on a video about music. Pathetic.
LET'S GO PIANO ARCHON

THIS MAN DESERVES MORE ATTENTION

Very well done. Genshin's music is one of its selling points for me.
I'm loving the anniversary pieces that have been popping up recently. It's been a wild journey we've made, and I kind of don't want it to end. But sadly, all adventures come to end, so, I guess we should make the most of it. ^^
Something about Mondstadt’s music makes you feel at home and the music sounds so windy which makes a lot of sense
Blessed we have Music Archon a.k.a Yu-Peng Chad and Piano Archon, lets fcking goo
I like how you did the arrangement as how the story progresses. I had a nostalgia did the same thing to his Konosuba cover. This is a very good job indeed.

I did not expect the wolf boss theme in this but I'm so happy it is!! This whole medley sounds incredible

YOOOO WTF WAS THAT CAELESTIUM FINALE TERMINI!? IT WAS FIRE

I am crying. Thank you for the wonderful music 💯

omg i actually have been having an idea about a perfect piano cover of winborne hymn that can fit to be the cathedral's night theme. i even imagine if the lights in the cathedral is off at one night but the marble still reflects the moonlight so beautifully. and there you've made it and also made my imagination running wild again
I'm always impressed by your playing... What a nice performance!!!
