- This video represents my third contribution to Bear McCreary's new TH-cam Channel, ( / bearmccreary , and a hopeful contender in his summer competition for creative uses of the Battlestar Galactica Songbook, (www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=6.... As far as I know, it is currently the only complete, isolated piano recording of Bear's pivotal musical reveal in the Season 4.5 episode "Someone to Watch Over Me." The obstacle, of course, to recording a piece for four hands is that it requires two, devoted Battlestar fans, each with some proficiency in piano, to be in the same place, at the same time, for an extended period. My solution -- in true, Battlestar style -- was to summon an evolved, Cylon copy of myself to handle Slick's virtuosic accompaniment. Aligning the multiple audio and video tracks for the final composite was a little tricky, but I'm fairly happy with the results, (although those with keen eyes may notice an extra octave I inserted into the piano for expediency).
The performance starts out slow, both because I am portraying a character who is experimenting with a piano for the first time in years, and because I wanted to be able to ramp up gradually to a tempo that would be brisk and yet manageable. If you're feeling impatient, I'd suggest jumping ahead to around 2:06, where the main theme emerges.
I hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching!

The collection includes substantial piano arrangements from all four seasons of the show, and it has my highest recommendation for anyone interested in giving the music of Battlestar Galactica new life with their own hands. - เพลง

Wow! Amazing, work. This is truly awesome. I was going to do a "Kara Remembers" video myself, but now I don't think I could top this one. :)

A very classy comment . . .
Bear McCreary, Composer
I’ve never in my entire life heard a soundtrack that was even half as good as what you created for BSG - and I doubt that I ever will. It’s truly perfect, sir - Beethoven couldn’t have done any better. You made something truly classic, thank you for bringing it into the world
Sir, my name is Arik. I just turned 40 in June. I am autistic and I am going blind and dying from a brain injury and going downhill. So I know it's hard for me to type well because of my eyes but just wanted u to know how much I admire your work. U are a very talented person. Ever since I heard all along the watch tower on piano when Kara played it it just helps me come out of my seizures and slows down my brain swelling for a few. What is it about that song that puts me into a healing peaceful place? I used to love playing piano and violin back when I was 8. Anyways I don't want to keep u I know u are a busy man. But wanted u to know your song has been saving my lifr and keeping me alive more and more the last few months I have gone downhill. So thank u sir.
Sincerely, Arik.
I know it’s dated Bear, but that is probably the coolest comment/compliment that could have been made. ❤️
Wow, dude. Everything. The clothes. The hesitation. The sheet with its edges cut. Holy hell, I admire you a lot for doing this. Thank you.
Spins and turns, angles and curves. The shape of dreams, half remembered. Slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of perfection - a perfect face, perfect lace. Find the perfect world for the end of Kara Thrace. End of line.
@bearmccreary I'm honored, Bear; thanks so much for your kind words! Didn't mean to steal your thunder, (nor think that I ever could), but perhaps you and Raya could do an Apocalypse duet instead. I know the lyrics aren't strictly a part of your songbook, but I enjoyed the simplified version of the piece that you two performed at Google, and, well, it doesn't hurt being married to Ms. Voice of Battlestar Galactica herself!
Best show that was ever on any form of screen or projection device in the past, present or future.
Late to the party but have watched this so many times over the past year and I love it

Beeindruckend :)
I knew it wasn't you right off Bear, the hands.
ITS IN THE FRAKKING SHIP
epic
@bearmccreary Do it anyway! You'll encourage others to do more responses.
what is the name of the notation used in this video called?
I thought I saw you do a live one with her... er Starbuck. With BSG Orch I'm going to find it wasn't that Kara?
lol awesome
just watch at 1.25 speed
I hate you. Now Bear doesn't want to do a video of it. :P
On a more serious note, this is an incredible performance. My personal favorite among all the others you've done.

sheet?
what the frak?!!!
It's a little slow compared to actual theme
put it at speed 1.25 xD
6 people are cylons.
Well it is played by two people....
*Frak
it's not that hard to hit the notes, it's hard to not HIT the note but feel the pressure of your finger and the emotion you feel at the moment you press the key.
this video proves that anyone can play a musical instrument but not expess the emotion of the composition.
now let the haters hate on me for saying that.
Do it anyway
its not A# just A
this is to musicians like bad acting is to an actor that LIVES the role he is playing.... YOU have to become the person you portray ... you have to become the music you play... I know I will get hate for all my comments on this but that's how it is.
This is impressive like a kid that is painting by numbers. The final image is great but there was no emotion or creativity involved...
NoneyaBizziness agreed
Agreed, but I think the analogy is wrong. Bad acting is straight up bad. This isn't bad, it just lacks touch.
Also I think it was taken too slow.
this is not kara actually i think it's 2 men which playing that song....LOL...
Did you not see the statement at :14?
Synthesized music is no equal to the original. I don't care what anyone says.
