"I will make sure you stay wake long enough to feel _every_ _single_ _cut_. Your death will be beyond excruciating. You will suffer, as I have suffered."
I recently got into Empire At War Expanded: Fall of the Republic, and this song in the main menu gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. This song rocks!! It feels super ominous and sad at the same time, and it also has bits of hope. Its so good!!!!
Just the intro of the song while you’re in the main menu makes you think that the Clone Wars at a much closer glance was a very dark time for both sides. Both puppets and instruments to the Sith master plan. All that bloodshed and destruction just for Palpatine to bend the galaxy to his will when he became the Emperor. I love the Clone Troopers and I just felt bad for them when Order 66 was carried out. All those brothers losing control and killed all the Jedi who were there leaders and furthermore, their closest friends if they were a CO or a high ranking ARC Trooper like Rex and Jesse. And then there were the Battle Droids who were also following orders blindly only to get blown up and scrapped. The only true despicable people in the war were the Sith, Grievous, Durge, various bounty hunters like Cad Bane, Admiral Trench and the entirety of the Separatist High Council. Also Savage and Maul who served no side (except for Savage with the CIS) used the war to stir chaos and crime and carnage under their Shadow Collective banner. Even though the CIS Council was ultimately played by the Sith, they were still the worst of the worst, even the Zygerrians who straight up enslaving people en mass. Even though we sometimes forget about it, George Lucas and all of the people working on the Clone Wars series and in any other expanded universe & canon content were geniuses for giving us these stories and characters
Lots of Star Wars remakes are just earth Vader’s song or the theme remixed but this... this stands alone. Totally new and original keep up the good work bro. Subs and likes forever Edit- it is hard to believe that it has been two full months since I posted this comment and I still love the music Thanks all for the 150 likes it means a lot to me
Thank you so much for writing all that, Ian!! Everything you've said is the intention behind this. The originality of the track is also what makes it impossible to upload on places like Spotify or other streaming sites... It doesn't classify as a "cover," which means it would require me to go directly to Disney and ask for permission to be able to "sell" this on music streaming sites. They don't give permission for that, and it would be illegal if I uploaded it and started making money from it. For anyone that's curious, here's the legal wording from the distributor I use: *Your authorization is limited to the reproduction of the Composition(s), and does not include the right to rearrange the Composition(s), synchronize the Composition(s) to visual media, publicly perform the Composition(s), or create a derivative work of the Composition(s) within the meaning of the term under Section 101 of the Copyright Act.* According to copyright law, I think my track would fall under "rearrangement." And I believe all fan made works are considered "derivative work." But my piece would have to sound exactly like "Duel of the Fates" in order for it to fall under "cover" territory. (I'm not a lawyer.) Also, I'm doing a lot behind the scenes to actually work WITH Disney in the next years, so tarnishing that relationship before it even begins is something I don't want to do. I want to respect and add to their creative and financial value, not take away. Really appreciate your thoughts on this-they mean a whole lot to me. ❤️
@Big Daddy Boomer Thank you!! I will do this forever. I mean, can you imagine saying something to someone and they just don't acknowledge you? It kinda sucks.
@@DanielCiurlizza This is awesome! This is one of the best Star Wars themes I've ever heard! This song in of itself tells a story of tragedy, despair, and the eventual climactic end of a character's story. This song encapsulates the stories of the lives of Kenobi, Maul, and Anakin as those three were one's who have seen the most tragedy, despair, and destruction in their lives and have truly experienced the horrors of a war on a galactic front. This, to me, is more of a masterpiece, more of a story, and more of a love letter to the Star Wars franchise as a whole than anything Disney has ever produced thus far. This is what we fans love about Star Wars, how it brings people together, and even though we fans walk a brittle and rocky road, we will always love this franchise and we'll fight till the day we die to one day see it rise to its former glory like the Twin Suns above Tatooine. Thank you for masterpiece and may the Force be with you, always.
It's weird to have nostalgia for this. I listened to this a lot back in 2017 with my friend, along with a couple other pieces. Those were good times. Now everything is dominated by Samuel Kim's epic orchestrations, which *are* damn good, but it's created less room for others. Then again, maybe with his absence from making constant Star Wars stuff for about a year now, other creators have slowly risen to make their own. But anyway, this is still fantastic after all this time, and I now wish I could experience it all again.
Thanks for coming back!! I'd make more Star Wars stuff, but I've been working hard towards collaborating directly with the big studios for the past 3 years. Disney's Marvel division was the first team I got connected with back in 2019, and I've been working my way out from there. It's been a long journey and a major fight to the top every which way, but I'm feeling good about the adventure. Lots of progress, and my goals feel super close. Maybe in the next 10 years you'll hear an official Marvel or Star Wars score from me. I'm certainly working on it! (You might be able to hear that progress in my other non-Star Wars music.) Thanks again for coming by!
I do enjoy a lot of Samuel Kim's arrangements and other work, however I feel that they tend to lack the complexity of a score written by Williams with more subtle use of themes. Don't get me wrong I love hearing his iterations of the Imperial March, but it's not exactly subtle when you feature it in full in every Star Wars arrangement, or even the multi-franchise collaboration arrangements as well. As a composer and arranger who studies Williams' works, I do tend to note that despite his broad variations across all of his themes, he still uses them only in key moments to preserve the special meaning of the motif. I love the scale and grand epic-ness of Kim's arrangements, but sometimes I feel that when I listen to them, I am listening to more a pep band hype-arrangement, and that's totally okay. Different composers and arrangers have different tastes, but it is hard when his constant reuse of big Star Wars motifs get clicks and drowns out the other composers who have a more Williams-style, subtle approach to incorporating themes, with sometimes a darker or deeper variation of the theme to portray an even darker side of the story. Even though this arrangement is a little motif heavy (at least to me), it is entirely based off an original work (We are Not Forgotten) that still incorporates the themes in a very unique and more subtle way, instead of just ripping the Imperial March and Duel of the Fates from the score note to note.
@@malusofficial I do agree. It's always super annoying to listen to Kim's versions when Duel of the Fates and Rey's theme are in half of them, even subtly in non-Star Wars stuff. I think it kept most of his arrangements from being really great, but it could also be attributed to the very obvious trend train he follows. I mean, it's not exactly subtle when medieval music is popular and he makes a medieval style arrangement of all the most popular themes or when The Mandalorian comes out and everything even slightly related to the general idea of Mandalorian get an epic Mandalorian version. I would say that at least his Star Wars stuff wouldn't be able to fit into a movie, let alone make filler music or music for most types of scenes. But trailer music is something I can see working out. In any case, I enjoyed thinking about your comment, and I wish you well with your career.
There are SO MANY musical elements here that would benefit a new Star Wars soundtrack. We've been hearing the horns and clarinets for decades. This is a vastly updated vision of what the epic yet emotional depths of Star Wars has always been. It blows my mind that across all of the Star Wars soundtracks, you will never find a piano, at least not as clear as this, and yet this sends chills down the spine. If not Star Wars, we need the likes of this for Mass Effect.
I thought this was an actual piece from the movie and tried to buy it on iTunes but none of the pieces on the official album matched. you've blended the old star wars themes seamlessly with something new, fantastic
+Roberto Sideris Hey! This is one of the greatest comments I've gotten on this. So sorry I tricked you into thinking this was part of the official score. If you're still interested in buying, you can grab it at the link in the description. Thanks again, Roberto!
It was used for a Video called: "Old Wounds" which describes the rivalry of Obi Wan and Maul. I just had to cry when i saw Maul dying in Obi Wans arms saying: "Is he the choosen one?" "yeah, he is" "he will avenge us"
Rest in Peace, Maul.. You will be never forgotten.. We will always remember you as a warrior, fighting for what he believed for even though you had no one left in your life. Betrayed by everyone and everything, you fought against all. RIP
through passion i gain strength through strength i gain power through power i gain victory through victory my chains will be broken the force shall free me
@@DanielCiurlizza wow I'm so impressed. You created soemthing that makes me feel this undescribable feeling I only feel when I listen to other masterpieces... These parts are amazing. Thank you
"You may have forgotten me, but I will NEVER forget you! You cannot imagine the depths I would go to to stay alive, FUELED by my singular hatred for you!" "That may be so, but I defeated you before and I can defeat you again!" [evil chuckle] "Don't be so certain."
God this cover is AMAZING! The choice to include the shimmering that sounds like Darth Vader's final breaths, as if you knew the Darkside within was dying. AND THEN HIS THEME PLAYS ON PIANO EVER SO FAINTLY! Just reminds me how tragic and bad ass his character is. Honestly, if it wasn't for him than the sci-fi and game/ nurd culture wouldn't be the Same. His character is truly one of the oldest and most influential AND bad ass villain's who created the bar on what a true villain is and still stands as one of the greats - and is A LOT better than man new villain's these days.
Thanks for that analysis! I couldn't agree more about Vader's place in history. He-and everything that follows him, including music-is so iconic. That first movie itself is a miracle with the way everything came together.
Hej man, this is a truly amazing tune and probably now one of my favorite songs period. Do you do anything else similar to the energy and raw emotion this song has? Keep up the good work man
Heeey!! Ah man, really appreciate you saying that, and thanks so much for asking about my other tracks. I have so many tracks out in the world, it's kinda hard to remember off the top of my head. That said... A lot of my stuff is on SoundCloud, and I'm very gradually putting my works on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming. A track you might like in terms of this same kind of energy (but maybe not intensity) is DEEP BREATHS WHILE I LISTEN, which you can find on all platforms at this point. If you like that one and want to spend the time, dig into my other tracks-just search my name. I have a large variety of work out there! Thanks again, my friend!!
You're a genuine delight and you've collected another fan. You can bet I'll be spending the next few weeks taking in every dolcet note and enjoying it vigorously. Please keep up the great work mate.
@@pistolwarrior7126 Just here on TH-cam! It's the only place where I can guarantee not making money off of this specific "Master Recording," which has bits of the Star Wars themes written around it. Also... Since this doesn't fall into "Cover Song" territory (cover songs follow EXACT structures, melodies, etc.), it would operate under a different "money structure." All that considered, I wanna be sure I'm not getting any money that isn't due to me. Spotify and other streaming platforms automatically pay artists money, so if I start getting money from this Star Wars-related recording, I wanna make sure Disney/Lucasfilm gets what's theirs too. For now, I can't guarantee that they can with the resources and materials that I have. Keeping this on TH-cam is the only way I know that Star Wars fans can still enjoy it, Disney/Lucasfilm isn't losing out on any money they deserve, and I'm not getting money I'm not owed. Ultimately, this was a simple experiment to see if I could write different-sounding Star Wars music. You guys just made it (and my other music!) blow up. ❤ TBH, I'm just happy that this gets to continue existing and bringing people joy.
The force is strong with those who are guided with it. The force only chooses those who have strayed from the dark side. Rise, Daniel, Jedi Knight. BEST MUSIC EVER!
Even years later and I can't stop listening. The raw, powerful emotion in this piece just can't be understated. I can honestly say it's not just the best piece of Star Wars music I've ever heard, it's one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard period. I think John Williams would be proud, his excellent work inspired something truly incredible here. This is more than worthy of inclusion in the annals of Star Wars history.
Can't tell you enough how much that means to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to write that out, and for spending your time listening to my music. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
My friends got me into the Empire at War mod called Fall of the Republic. I usually dislike "overhauls" for games, but I got to the menu and I sat there listening for a while waiting for a friend to get back. This music is so SO good, especially the introduction to it. It has that feeling of a bittersweet ending to something special with the initial Violin (I think that's what it is). The rest of the track has something different, and perhaps more epic. I don't know how I'd word the ending from 2:40 beyond sounding like the embodiment of redemption. All of the pieces coming together to complete the puzzle, with the Violin once again returning but an octave lower, just hits everything correctly. I'd argue this music shapes the mod, and it's one of the few times that I've realised that I'm in a moment that I'll look back on with nostalgia. All in all, stellar work. I saw in other comments that you're working on bigger things with bigger studios. I wish you all the best with that, and I hope your career is fruitful :)
Loved reading this, so thanks a ton for taking the time! It's a lot of fun reading all the details you've noticed. I've been working hard to write music on the big stuff, so I appreciate your well wishes!!
Peter Fisher Well we can identfy the style of a compositor no matter how different be the songs, and we did with williams, the songs of the original were more a few slow and has the feel of a adventure history in a far place, in the new trilogy don't lost the adventure feeling but it's more strong, fast and epic, that notes specially in the battle scenes, the diference between the hoth and endor battles and geonosis and naboo, the fights of darth vader vs luke and the battles of qui gon/obi wan vs darth maul, or analin vs obi wan J.J. Abrams says that isl ooking for a most mature and adult feel for the new trylogy, so williams may be take the chance to do a more deep and dark sountrack
THE RAPTOR I knew one day a raptor would like my work - I felt it in my gut. Little did I know it would be THE RAPTOR. Thank you, my kind ferocious friend.
This is what was missing from episode VII. The perfect blend of new and old that is still able to give you that sense of nostalgia that is undeniably Star Wars. JJ Abrams if you're reading this, take note! This is what we want for episode VIII. It's 2016, we don't want to be living in the shadows of episodes IV-VI for the entire series. Awesome job Daniel!
personal favorite, honestly. the way the main theme is coaxed out, especially in such an unfamiliar tone and instrument choice makes it feel different.... somber... almost great. so close to something great, especially with those occasional major tone spikes, it is so emotive and evokes empathy for those involved in this galactic struggle. excellent song, i cant stop listening.
I figured if I'm not making money from it, there's less of a risk that I'm hurting anybody by posting it! It was always supposed to be an experiment and not for money anyway. Thanks for coming back and listening!!
Never commented on this but I just re-listened and- wow. This score literally inspired an entire scene of my own as part of a post-apocalyptic story I'm writing and I can't describe how deeply this song touches me. I LOVE IT.
You did a beautiful take on the feel. You truly captured the emotion, abusing and encompassing what sounds make us tick today. I mean this in a good way. You clearly understand what pulls the strings on our emotions when it comes to Star Wars and this was breath taking. Bravo. Bravo.
Daniel Ciurlizza You’re an artist. Never stop what you’re doing! If I close my eyes, listening to this piece, I get snapshots of the entire saga. Incredible.
+Daniel Ciurlizza This song would go well with a scene where it shows the perspective of a stormtrooper going into battle and there's slow mo explosions and stuff.
Man........this is the best song I've ever heard.........It makes me reflect back on the entire Star Wars saga and I can't help but feel.....I dunno....a bit emotional...as if we've all gone on that journey together....watching each character come and go and how one day it will end.
First heard this piece from the Fall of the Republic mod in SWEAW. And never have I been more captivated in a games menu screen. The song itself tells its own story, and that paired with the cinematic view of the games menu screen just….. pairs perfectly. It’s a 10/10 piece, and I’ll die by that statement XD In all seriousness tho, I’ve used this piece in many occasions. From Inspo/backing for my Star Wars RPs, to even backing for Star Wars tabletop games!! You’ve done brilliantly with this piece, you should be proud!
Ahh I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share all this with me! This makes me so happy. It's what I hope for everything I write. You've made my day and I really appreciate you!
I have been listening to this for years but have never commented on it. You are an incredible composer and I’d hope if I ever made it as a film producer I’d have the honour of something by you on the soundtrack. Amazing.
The first time I heard this I thought "it's good, but it's not star wars" But now after seeing TFA it's grown on me. You've done well. This is STAR WARS.
+Sir Stefan Channel! I just saw TFA for the first time last night and really enjoyed all of it - music was great, of course. But I also think it would be fun to take on a Star Wars film in the future. I bet a lot of people would really miss the John Williams style, but I also think it would really grow on people after watching the movie with a fresh score. Thanks for your thoughts!
***** Well the anthology films aren't being scored by John Williams. But yeah you did a fantastic job! It's just getting people to accept the change like I did :p
Probably the best piece of Star Wars music I've heard. There's an emotional core here, a desperate struggle against dark odds, and you can't tell if the song is about the darkness of the villian or the hope of the heros, which is some classic star wars stuff. I'll definately help inspire me for the book I'm writing, and I'm happy I found this after randomly playing the mod its featured in.
@@JustMonikaOk thank you for writing this! So great to read that this is your impression of it! What you've written is basically everything I could want someone to feel about this piece.
0:43 man I get goosebumps. The vocals behind this are just so chilling and excellently blended to both provide an epic and deeply emotional feel. I can’t praise this enough
Thank you!! Makes me happy you caught those hopeful notes. The intention was to make the empire feel more human, rather than feel like a sea of faceless soldiers.
I want to listen to this while playing Battlefront. Fighting beside my friends, seeing our characters shoot down enemies, and at some points, seeing our own fall down. Chills, man.
Absolutely beautiful, this has the perfect mix of modernisation with the new order but also a great homage to the original trilogy soundtrack and the empire :) +1
This reminds me of the Vietnam memorial in Star Wars, which was for the Stormtroopers and personell that died on the Death Star, along with the one for clones of The Battle of Geonosis.
This gets better each time I hear it. It makes me imagine a Star Wars sequel with grit, where a defeated Empire causes the galaxy to teeter on the edge of chaos. Where people question whether freedom and lawlessness is better than tyranny and control. Where the new Jedi are seen as emotionless peacekeepers in a time when people need love, and passion, and to be united by emotion. Where old heroes need to be reminded that they aren't the rebels anymore. And ex-Empire veterans seethe at the loss of all they held dear, waiting for an opportunity to hurt the 'hero' insurgents that tore down their government.

I do enjoy a lot of Samuel Kim's arrangements and other work, however I feel that they tend to lack the complexity of a score written by Williams with more subtle use of themes. Don't get me wrong I love hearing his iterations of the Imperial March, but it's not exactly subtle when you feature it in full in every Star Wars arrangement, or even the multi-franchise collaboration arrangements as well. As a composer and arranger who studies Williams' works, I do tend to note that despite his broad variations across all of his themes, he still uses them only in key moments to preserve the special meaning of the motif. I love the scale and grand epic-ness of Kim's arrangements, but sometimes I feel that when I listen to them, I am listening to more a pep band hype-arrangement, and that's totally okay. Different composers and arrangers have different tastes, but it is hard when his constant reuse of big Star Wars motifs get clicks and drowns out the other composers who have a more Williams-style, subtle approach to incorporating themes, with sometimes a darker or deeper variation of the theme to portray an even darker side of the story. Even though this arrangement is a little motif heavy (at least to me), it is entirely based off an original work (We are Not Forgotten) that still incorporates the themes in a very unique and more subtle way, instead of just ripping the Imperial March and Duel of the Fates from the score note to note.
@@malusofficial I do agree. It's always super annoying to listen to Kim's versions when Duel of the Fates and Rey's theme are in half of them, even subtly in non-Star Wars stuff. I think it kept most of his arrangements from being really great, but it could also be attributed to the very obvious trend train he follows. I mean, it's not exactly subtle when medieval music is popular and he makes a medieval style arrangement of all the most popular themes or when The Mandalorian comes out and everything even slightly related to the general idea of Mandalorian get an epic Mandalorian version. I would say that at least his Star Wars stuff wouldn't be able to fit into a movie, let alone make filler music or music for most types of scenes. But trailer music is something I can see working out.
In any case, I enjoyed thinking about your comment, and I wish you well with your career.

This would be so good in Rogue One
YES
I can't believe it's coming out as soon as next December 2016 that's pretty short
Rogue One is not the next installment in the trilogy. The next one in the trilogy is in 2017. Rogue one is not in the main storyline
+ScouT Nobody said it was in the trilogy?

I love it Daniel. I can almost imagine the trailer with this score.

There are SO MANY musical elements here that would benefit a new Star Wars soundtrack. We've been hearing the horns and clarinets for decades. This is a vastly updated vision of what the epic yet emotional depths of Star Wars has always been. It blows my mind that across all of the Star Wars soundtracks, you will never find a piano, at least not as clear as this, and yet this sends chills down the spine. If not Star Wars, we need the likes of this for Mass Effect.
Goosebumps.
You can find piano based songs in Solo and TFA
@@fofonablus7104 Tbf his comment was made before solo came out
I thought this was an actual piece from the movie and tried to buy it on iTunes but none of the pieces on the official album matched. you've blended the old star wars themes seamlessly with something new, fantastic
+Roberto Sideris Hey! This is one of the greatest comments I've gotten on this. So sorry I tricked you into thinking this was part of the official score. If you're still interested in buying, you can grab it at the link in the description. Thanks again, Roberto!

Thanks! And yeah, it's true! I'm pretty active/accessible on most platforms that I'm on. Only place I really miss things is Twitter!
Rest in Peace, Maul.. You will be never forgotten.. We will always remember you as a warrior, fighting for what he believed for even though you had no one left in your life. Betrayed by everyone and everything, you fought against all. RIP

I love how sad this feels, like the darkside is bleeding out.
Plot twist This music is about the most feared stormtrooper ever in the galaxy TR-8R
We've gotta write even better music than this for him. That said, I'll take the compliment!!
God this cover is AMAZING! The choice to include the shimmering that sounds like Darth Vader's final breaths, as if you knew the Darkside within was dying. AND THEN HIS THEME PLAYS ON PIANO EVER SO FAINTLY! Just reminds me how tragic and bad ass his character is. Honestly, if it wasn't for him than the sci-fi and game/ nurd culture wouldn't be the Same. His character is truly one of the oldest and most influential AND bad ass villain's who created the bar on what a true villain is and still stands as one of the greats - and is A LOT better than man new villain's these days.
Thanks for that analysis! I couldn't agree more about Vader's place in history. He-and everything that follows him, including music-is so iconic. That first movie itself is a miracle with the way everything came together.
Me new favorite Star Wars song...definitely.
Hey, this is amazing. Was hoping to use it for a fan trailer for the solo Kenobi movie! Hope thats okay, let me know!
_Smash_
Absolutely okay by me - have at it! Thanks!
Also, credit in the description please =D
Thanks alot man! Of course link will be in description! btw I have also private messaged you about music use
Smasher's vid is perfectly suited for this. Love it!
I saw this used for a vid involving Kenobi and Mail and it suits so them so well.
This track is beautiful... hopeful and yet desperate. Truely amazing.
Hej man, this is a truly amazing tune and probably now one of my favorite songs period. Do you do anything else similar to the energy and raw emotion this song has?
Keep up the good work man
Heeey!! Ah man, really appreciate you saying that, and thanks so much for asking about my other tracks. I have so many tracks out in the world, it's kinda hard to remember off the top of my head. That said...
A lot of my stuff is on SoundCloud, and I'm very gradually putting my works on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming.
A track you might like in terms of this same kind of energy (but maybe not intensity) is DEEP BREATHS WHILE I LISTEN, which you can find on all platforms at this point.
If you like that one and want to spend the time, dig into my other tracks-just search my name. I have a large variety of work out there!
Thanks again, my friend!!
You're a genuine delight and you've collected another fan. You can bet I'll be spending the next few weeks taking in every dolcet note and enjoying it vigorously.
Please keep up the great work mate.
@@lokismischief2512 Love this-thanks for saying and doing all that
@@DanielCiurlizza What platforms can this be played on ? e.g. Spotify
@@pistolwarrior7126 Just here on TH-cam! It's the only place where I can guarantee not making money off of this specific "Master Recording," which has bits of the Star Wars themes written around it. Also...
Since this doesn't fall into "Cover Song" territory (cover songs follow EXACT structures, melodies, etc.), it would operate under a different "money structure." All that considered, I wanna be sure I'm not getting any money that isn't due to me. Spotify and other streaming platforms automatically pay artists money, so if I start getting money from this Star Wars-related recording, I wanna make sure Disney/Lucasfilm gets what's theirs too. For now, I can't guarantee that they can with the resources and materials that I have.
Keeping this on TH-cam is the only way I know that Star Wars fans can still enjoy it, Disney/Lucasfilm isn't losing out on any money they deserve, and I'm not getting money I'm not owed.
Ultimately, this was a simple experiment to see if I could write different-sounding Star Wars music. You guys just made it (and my other music!) blow up. ❤
TBH, I'm just happy that this gets to continue existing and bringing people joy.
The force is strong with those who are guided with it. The force only chooses those who have strayed from the dark side. Rise, Daniel, Jedi Knight.
BEST MUSIC EVER!
You're the best
Just saw Rogue One yesterday and listining to this reminds me of it
Not the John Williams score you usually get, but still quite epic!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Was hoping you could put this on spotify? It's absolutely brilliant
Even years later and I can't stop listening. The raw, powerful emotion in this piece just can't be understated. I can honestly say it's not just the best piece of Star Wars music I've ever heard, it's one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard period.
I think John Williams would be proud, his excellent work inspired something truly incredible here. This is more than worthy of inclusion in the annals of Star Wars history.
Can't tell you enough how much that means to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to write that out, and for spending your time listening to my music. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
2:40-3:41 sends me the chills all over my body how godly it becomes

My friends got me into the Empire at War mod called Fall of the Republic. I usually dislike "overhauls" for games, but I got to the menu and I sat there listening for a while waiting for a friend to get back. This music is so SO good, especially the introduction to it. It has that feeling of a bittersweet ending to something special with the initial Violin (I think that's what it is). The rest of the track has something different, and perhaps more epic. I don't know how I'd word the ending from 2:40 beyond sounding like the embodiment of redemption. All of the pieces coming together to complete the puzzle, with the Violin once again returning but an octave lower, just hits everything correctly. I'd argue this music shapes the mod, and it's one of the few times that I've realised that I'm in a moment that I'll look back on with nostalgia.
All in all, stellar work. I saw in other comments that you're working on bigger things with bigger studios. I wish you all the best with that, and I hope your career is fruitful :)
Loved reading this, so thanks a ton for taking the time! It's a lot of fun reading all the details you've noticed. I've been working hard to write music on the big stuff, so I appreciate your well wishes!!
Daniel Ciurlizza + Samuel Kim = THE BEST STAR WARS MUSIC YOU WOULD EVER HEAR
Just recently discovered him because he's hustlin' and releasing so much music!!
Love this! Its very different from John Williams style which I hope might be explored with new composers in the spin off movies!
I agree. I love John Williams and I hope he does something we're not expecting - something fresh, yet still familiar. Thanks for the comment!
Peter Fisher Well we can identfy the style of a compositor no matter how different be the songs, and we did with williams, the songs of the original were more a few slow and has the feel of a adventure history in a far place, in the new trilogy don't lost the adventure feeling but it's more strong, fast and epic, that notes specially in the battle scenes, the diference between the hoth and endor battles and geonosis and naboo, the fights of darth vader vs luke and the battles of qui gon/obi wan vs darth maul, or analin vs obi wan
J.J. Abrams says that isl ooking for a most mature and adult feel for the new trylogy, so williams may be take the chance to do a more deep and dark sountrack
Best Star Wars Theme edit so far! Keep up the good work my friend. Don't worry, the force is weak with dislikers.
THE RAPTOR I knew one day a raptor would like my work - I felt it in my gut. Little did I know it would be THE RAPTOR. Thank you, my kind ferocious friend.
***** Hahah anytime my friend. I will always trace your works from the shadows. Peace.
THE RAPTOR Clever girl...
1:10 reminds me of Deus Ex!!! Really great job!!!
+Bunny Girl Thanks! Feel free to use it on any of your videos!
This is what was missing from episode VII. The perfect blend of new and old that is still able to give you that sense of nostalgia that is undeniably Star Wars. JJ Abrams if you're reading this, take note! This is what we want for episode VIII. It's 2016, we don't want to be living in the shadows of episodes IV-VI for the entire series.
Awesome job Daniel!
+Ahmad Marar Hey Ahmad! Thanks for the kind comments. Really glad you enjoyed the music. I'm hoping Rogue One Will provide something fresh!
personal favorite, honestly. the way the main theme is coaxed out, especially in such an unfamiliar tone and instrument choice makes it feel different.... somber... almost great. so close to something great, especially with those occasional major tone spikes, it is so emotive and evokes empathy for those involved in this galactic struggle. excellent song, i cant stop listening.
Horses Feather love your observations!! Thanks for taking the time!
Thrawn’s revenge brought me here.
yesss
I thought this video was made private because of copyright concerns. So glad it was made public again! This is truly awesome.
I figured if I'm not making money from it, there's less of a risk that I'm hurting anybody by posting it! It was always supposed to be an experiment and not for money anyway. Thanks for coming back and listening!!
Its been years and im still here listening to this literally one of the best things i heard should be put in one of the upcoming Star Wars movies 💯
Never commented on this but I just re-listened and- wow. This score literally inspired an entire scene of my own as part of a post-apocalyptic story I'm writing and I can't describe how deeply this song touches me. I LOVE IT.
Wow, that's exciting!! So very glad you took the time to tell me. Really means a lot - thank you!!
You did a beautiful take on the feel. You truly captured the emotion, abusing and encompassing what sounds make us tick today. I mean this in a good way. You clearly understand what pulls the strings on our emotions when it comes to Star Wars and this was breath taking. Bravo. Bravo.
WOW, Jack. I really really appreciate that. That's one of the best pieces of feedback I've read in a while. Thank you so very much.
Daniel Ciurlizza You’re an artist. Never stop what you’re doing! If I close my eyes, listening to this piece, I get snapshots of the entire saga. Incredible.
Wow, this is beyond imagination. I could listen to this all day long. What a job, sir. Btw, I came here because of Frankie hahaha

BATTLE OF JAKKU! - Star Wars Battlefront
best cover yet my friend
wtf this was incredible. Great job man, seriously
Thanks!!
Poster is so goddamn awesome
+notahuman204 I know, right? I mean when do you actually see a stormtrooper actually dying? Or even just struggling or tired. Great concept.
+Daniel Ciurlizza This song would go well with a scene where it shows the perspective of a stormtrooper going into battle and there's slow mo explosions and stuff.
A Stormtrooper that questions the point of the conflict, perhaps?
Man........this is the best song I've ever heard.........It makes me reflect back on the entire Star Wars saga and I can't help but feel.....I dunno....a bit emotional...as if we've all gone on that journey together....watching each character come and go and how one day it will end.
First heard this piece from the Fall of the Republic mod in SWEAW. And never have I been more captivated in a games menu screen. The song itself tells its own story, and that paired with the cinematic view of the games menu screen just….. pairs perfectly. It’s a 10/10 piece, and I’ll die by that statement XD
In all seriousness tho, I’ve used this piece in many occasions. From Inspo/backing for my Star Wars RPs, to even backing for Star Wars tabletop games!! You’ve done brilliantly with this piece, you should be proud!
Ahh I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share all this with me! This makes me so happy. It's what I hope for everything I write. You've made my day and I really appreciate you!
"I am surprised you could have forgotten me so easily, after i killed your master, and you left me for dead on naboo!"

Moonlight Reaper ah man, thank you so much. Really glad you like it!!

I have been listening to this for years but have never commented on it. You are an incredible composer and I’d hope if I ever made it as a film producer I’d have the honour of something by you on the soundtrack. Amazing.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot to me to read this from you!!
Oh my god, this absolutely incredible! I'm just clicking on the "replay" button and enjoying this work! Amazing.
The first time I heard this I thought "it's good, but it's not star wars"
But now after seeing TFA it's grown on me. You've done well.
This is STAR WARS.
+Sir Stefan Channel! I just saw TFA for the first time last night and really enjoyed all of it - music was great, of course. But I also think it would be fun to take on a Star Wars film in the future. I bet a lot of people would really miss the John Williams style, but I also think it would really grow on people after watching the movie with a fresh score. Thanks for your thoughts!
***** Well the anthology films aren't being scored by John Williams.
But yeah you did a fantastic job! It's just getting people to accept the change like I did :p
I like the Chopin's Funeral March in the middle :) Good job!
That's the Imperial March dude.
Lost_-_Cause Meh, its a mix of both I’d say
Man even years later this is still such a good score
Thank you!! I appreciate that, Benji!!
@@DanielCiurlizza np if i was making a star wars movie i would add this score
Kenobi And Maul....The Greatest Rivalry In History......
dude.....you should get an award or something, simply marvelous
(i cant believe this is a fan-made score...)
Probably the best piece of Star Wars music I've heard. There's an emotional core here, a desperate struggle against dark odds, and you can't tell if the song is about the darkness of the villian or the hope of the heros, which is some classic star wars stuff. I'll definately help inspire me for the book I'm writing, and I'm happy I found this after randomly playing the mod its featured in.
@@JustMonikaOk thank you for writing this! So great to read that this is your impression of it! What you've written is basically everything I could want someone to feel about this piece.

This is utterly breathtaking. The piano hits in a way that makes the dark side theme feel hopeful, and the whole piece is just unbelievable. Bravo.
Thank you!! Makes me happy you caught those hopeful notes. The intention was to make the empire feel more human, rather than feel like a sea of faceless soldiers.
@@DanielCiurlizza and that much did you achieve. It’s stuck in my head, and I love it. Great work!
I want to listen to this while playing Battlefront. Fighting beside my friends, seeing our characters shoot down enemies, and at some points, seeing our own fall down. Chills, man.
I don't know why, but everytime I listen to this song I want to cry...
Absolutely beautiful, this has the perfect mix of modernisation with the new order but also a great homage to the original trilogy soundtrack and the empire :) +1
*the first order
This reminds me of the Vietnam memorial in Star Wars, which was for the Stormtroopers and personell that died on the Death Star, along with the one for clones of The Battle of Geonosis.
This gets better each time I hear it. It makes me imagine a Star Wars sequel with grit, where a defeated Empire causes the galaxy to teeter on the edge of chaos. Where people question whether freedom and lawlessness is better than tyranny and control. Where the new Jedi are seen as emotionless peacekeepers in a time when people need love, and passion, and to be united by emotion. Where old heroes need to be reminded that they aren't the rebels anymore. And ex-Empire veterans seethe at the loss of all they held dear, waiting for an opportunity to hurt the 'hero' insurgents that tore down their government.
You've made a storm trooper both heroic and tragic with this theme. The picture encompasses the heroic struggle. Well done!
That's the music in Old Wounds
