the fact that some of the musicians who participated in this are actually in these comments is so cool
so true!
Yes
Ikr? They're proud of their work😄
@@shirleyyee3371 Not only proud of their work but also enjoy this masterpiece.
@@shirleyyee3371 And I am too, I love these performances.
And playing what Yu-Peng Chen comes up with is no easy job, look at the mini marimba dude killing it at 3:43, it's highly complex music
In Rage Beneath the Mountains orchestra video you can see the bass player doing an INSANE riff at one point
I remember seeing on the Inazuma OST behind the scenes, I remember at least the Shakuhachi, Drums and Shamisen players saying that the songs were very challenging to perform
It was such a privilege to assist Kuljit Bhamra in his studio recording this amazing soundtrack. This shoot in particular was magical. Feeling very grateful to have worked with such brilliant musicians. Can't wait for the rest of the music to be made public!
Thanks for your awesome work!
Thank you for your work!!! People like you make genshin's journey just more magical
Kuljit Bhamra is listed as the producer of the ethnic music. his work gave authenticity to the music. =)
@@lagrangewei yes you're absolutely right, Kuljit is brilliant and it is a pleasure to work with him
@@piichantube thank you!
You know the fight is hard when u hear that one flute solo☠️
Hilicurl is coming for u
The fungus are way more annoying!!! I suffered so much when doing the Rana quest@@rizkyy416
That flute is called a Bansuri, while it is a flute it is different in it's sound from the traditional flute.
I'm so proud that I can play that solo on the bansuri
@@N_ei_L thankyou for enlightening me 🙂 I did not know that
How come genshin never gets nominated in best music score in any gaming awards??
Probably because its an ongoing game?
@@ImSchneckenhaus Yup, same reason FFXIV never gets nominated for music otherwise these two games would dominate.
@@hayatojin2886 yeah, I still got goosebumbs from shadowbringer ost
@@hayatojin2886 Can you recommend me some soundtracks from that game?
I know I may not get the best experience compared to playing it but it worth to give a try
@@luuhuynh5234 you can check out dragonspine ost, i really like it.
People can criticize genshin all they want, but the fact that they spared no expense in the making of these amazing OSTs is undeniable.
Nobody can compare to their music, absolutely beautiful.
@@okal2468 Do you really think that? There’s too many great soundtrack out there to think nothing can compare to it.
But , I’m agree with the fact it’s really solid.
@@chatdos9 Yeah. They always make amazing emotional tracks, it’s a bit of a dramatic statement but compared to other games I’ve played I have to say, yes, I found myself sitting there just listening in some parts of inazuma and other places. Gotta be one of the best music tracks.
Forreals though. Yeah some games have great music (Civilization comes to mind), but the breadth and depth of variety in GI is truly remarkable.
The way Mihoyo fails or take worrisome decisions toward their main game makes me question them heavily, but I totally agree at how amazing their OSTs are, each of their games have a rich musical uniqueness that I highly appreciate, each time I watch their orchestral sessions a heavy knot forms in my throat and my eyes get teary. I even dare to say how valuable they are for the ambitious musical approach they have with genshin, totally extraordinary.
It was a real pleasure to play trombone in this - some incredible days in the studio!

Great performance, appreciate it
Amazing performance, congrats. We latin americans love the trombone.
Can you put timestamp on where you are in this video? Wanna see your face when playing 😊

کارت عالی بود داداش
I would like to mention how wonderful it felt to perform in this. As far as gaming goes I can't see how this musical production could be out shone. Probably the best orchestra in the world, fantastic musicians from around the world....it was a privilege. Within the game this will sound magical.
Wonderful performance, Mr. Jonathan Mayer! I'm gonna like your comment so that people know about this.
So much respect to you all musicians!! Really appreciate ur performance!❤💫
Thank you for such an incredible performance and to the rest of the performers as well! This score really is stunning and so layered, far exceeding even the high expectations I had from the previous regions in-game. What’s even more incredible is that scores like this will allow more people to hear and be influenced by music that takes authentic cues from other parts of the world. So looking forward to getting to hear more of the new score and your playing in-game!!
Thank you for your hard work!!!
Beautiful melodies and performance. I really love your work! Bravo!
It is such a privilege and immense pleasure to be able to listen/watch an amazing orchestra play such amazing music. I am a new 70year old Aussie who appreciates a wide range of musical genres. I rarely comment to things but I felt moved to do so this time. Every one of you in this video are stars. Thank you all.
this music brings so much excitement and joy to me whenever i play the game and fighting the fungis
Every one of us in this video are stars in Teyvat *

just came here from the fontaine orchestra, and as gorgeous as that was there isn’t a single song better in hoyo’s discography than “sumeru”.
inazuma is my all time favorite by i agree, the compositions of hoyo under this region is just god tier.
Agreed. Sumeru music is out of this world. I will never forget first time stepping into Sumeru and exploring the fairytales forest and the glory of the University and the Nation of knowledge. And getting to see dendro is the Element of life and nature.
The desert showed us the egyptian Pharao culture. I can't imagine any Nation to top Sumeru antmosphere or plot or music.
My all time fave is Liyue
Agreed. Fontaine's orchestra is just lacking something compared to these older pieces for some reason.
Sumeru was the purest art you can ever find. I love sumeru's everything. Sumeru can be replaced with other nations by neither music, quests nor story. It was different, it was beautiful, it was ART. I love Nahida, I love aranaras, I love Paris and I love Middle east.
Working on this was such a magical experience! Working alongside my musical co-workers with Yu-Peng Chen, the LSO as well as the whole Genshin Impact team was something very special that I will keep with me for many years.
Thank you for making this possible!
Can I ask for a timestamp on where you appeared in this video? Wanna see your playing 😊
@@eightyeight2379 5:05 is a good example, I am on the left of the musician (Attab Haddad) playing Oud. In the wide shots I am top left.
@@ashleyblassemusic Oh wow so that's an Oud! Thank you so much for being part of making this music! Keep it up!
Thank you for the great performance!

@@emperorinfinite stfu bro that doesnt even make sense
They literally featured the London Symphony Orchestra,one of the world’s best orchestras…That’s just freaking crazy
Well Sumeru is inspired by Indian/Persian/Arabic culture, so it's fitting that its music be performed in Londonistan.

I’ve never even played this game before but I’ve been following it since 1.0 all because of its music.
on god
There are lots of extremely valid reasons to dislike Genshin Impact - or hate it even - but the music can never be one of them
@@Clarity520based, what do u think of fontaines
As a Chinese, hearing the concert drives me to look up for more Arabic, Persian and Indian traditional music to enjoy from.
Genshin Impact is a very unique game.
@@Mertiven What do you mean "because"? Just wondering, because the commenter didn't ask any questions.
@@Mertiven But you aren't answering my question, you just said what he/she said, and what you said, and no reason was included in your comment.
Well some of the traditional and most popular Arab music in the Middle East is of Maher Zain. You could easily find it on radio anytime and its really good. Some recommendations would be "Ya Nabi Salam Alayka" and "Assalamu Alika". There are many more but I don't live there anymore so not up-to date with what's trending. There is another which is popular in Dubai and my cousin told me about was "Boshrit kheir".
Sry if I sound annoying, I just couldn't help but put out some recommendations.
no listen to turkish music its above all
and persion is good too
@@masterdementer these are religious that you mentioned
Chinese composer+Hindu/Persian/Arabian traditional instruments,musicians and Style+ western orchestra, this performance reflects the thousand-year communication and exchanges between civilizations along the ancient Silk Road. It’s a privilege to experience such beautiful collaboration. Much thx goes to those who made this happen.
It's funnier when you compare real life map with teyvat map both china or liyue were close neighbor to india or sumeru
@@tukangojek1335 Lmao true, it’s even to the south by the Chasm lmao

Am honoured to have worked on the Sumeru recordings of these wonderful musicians with Kuljit Bhamra in his studio, excited for the rest of the music to be released!
Incredible work by you and the rest of the symphony! It’s amazing to see the work that goes into making this kind of music for a game that’s technically free. Being able to hear input from the individuals who help make it spectacular is simply wonderful! Best of luck to you in all your future projects!
You're awesome!
There’s more!? Omg I can’t wait🥹🥹🥹 you guys are amazing❤️❤️
all my respect for you, the sound is exquisit, amazing work. If you're saying there's more and is going to be great I can't wait. Thanks for the hype and for your amazing work.
youre awesome sir!!
Fontaine's symphony performance may have been just released yesterday, it was beautiful, but I would be lying if I didn't say that imo the Sumeru Live Performance will always be miles more spectacular than any of the previous ones.
Rumor has it the great composer Chen Zhiyi is leaving Genshin! Fontaine already not in his hand. Still not confirmed if it’s true or not 😢
Fontaine theme is different from the travail trailer... I thought it would be the same...
@@enryuku_007I know right!!! I was so sad when I heard that... The music in genshin is the only thing still keeping me interested in the game.
Mondstadt- Classically adventurous
Liyue- Irreverently joyous
Inazuma (my fave) - Majestically tranquil
Sumeru- Uniquely grand
Fontaine- Hauntingly refined
They are all incredible pieces of music that challenge the genres they are associated with. I think a lot of people really adore Sumeru's music is because it's something completely different and relatively unknown until now.
Sumeru was a huge step forward from inazuma. Everything was improved from story to music. Now it's fontaine's time to reach that level.
From now on, I will continue to visit Teyvat with everyone as a traveler."

tf the fact that you got the LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTER to play this absolutely amazes me, it's literally among the top 3 best orchestras in the world and the musicians are accordingly exceptional which you can hear very clearly in thsis recording
Well the London Symphony Orchestra Played the entire Mondstadt ost so yeah they've been working with genshin since release
@@anemojin4384 That's the London Philharmonic Orchestra, not the London Symphony Orchestra. LSO (The one recording Sumeru and Fontaine's music) consistently ranks among the top 10 orchestras in the world while LPO (Mondstadt) isn't
Genshin is one of those few games that have given recognition to the Middle East and India, and as an Indian myself, I'm proud they did, unlike other games where they only count Egypt as being Middle Eastern, and leaving out India entirely in the process. Dendro also being the symbol of life, and Sumeru being the land of knowledge also brings a nice touch to the representation!
The whole aranyaka quest is based on Indian mythology

Yo 🔥th-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/w-d-xo.html..
Crazy to be fighting a bunch of random hilichurls and think "Oh, this music was performed by the LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA."
For what it's worth, the London Symphony Orchestra did the Mondstat music as well.
Edit: Just checked, the Mondstat OST was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra not the Symphony Orchestra as we're seeing here. Still cool.
Also a known fact:
London Symphony Orchestra recorded lots of film scores from John Williams and James Horner in the 70s to 90s, like Star Wars, Willow, Indiana Jones, Titanic, etc.
Heck Superman from 1978 is still my all time favorite of all those recordings
In Liyue, you fight to the sound of Shanghai Symphonic Orchestra & in Inazuma, the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
Those Orchestra musicians & composers also bring their A-games because they Know they're representing their country on an International platform.
Not to mention the more Traditional Musicians who represent some of their countries' National Instruments & styles. Mihoyo-mix is truly spoiling Genshin players.
Exactly this is true A tier stuff xD not that the others aren't good of course.
Yeah, like, this literally one of the best and most respected orchestras from the world who had performed for the likes of John Williams so if their musicians say they like the music and performing it...well...it's cuz it's good XD
I dont play genshin, but Im part of the fandom because of the detail and stories, lore and character structures it has in store. This further makes the game more immersive, seeing how they spared no budget to offer this level in ost. Unlike other movies or games where they pull up the overused audios of flutes and drums and a background woman's vocals...they actually value and bring in the music and the instruments of the cultures the setting is inspired from, and I salute to that.
As same bro🤩
And this is why I'm so excited on the anime adaptation of this, it might even elevate the story even more, Arcane style. Also, have you seen the Lost Legacies in the Sand cutscene? the ost at the start is so ominous!
Same here, never played genshin but watch the cutscenes and listen to the music and so look forward to the anime, be the best way to truly get the feel of all the story
The battle theme always tickles my brain and give me goosebumps 😂
Exactly! Hahaha
The battle theme is my least favourite part mostly

No wonder the musicians in this were so impressed with the music they were playing. At the time of this release the thought of leaving mihoyo probably already taken deep roots in Yu-Peng Chen's mind. Make Sumeru his final memorable masterpiece for Genshin and go out with a bang was his plan all along in retrospect
Indian instruments: sitar, bansuri, tabla, tanpura
Persian instruments: santoor, daf, kamancheh
Arabic instruments: oud, gambus, darbuka
Overall, did not expect these instruments to go so seamlessly together.
Yu Peng Chen is a genius…….
Also credit goes to Kuljit bhamra and London symphony of course
Edit: guys chill I only mentioned the major instruments from different cultures, of course I know a lot more instruments are involved here
Edit: santoor is originated from Persia but the one used here is the Indian version of it. Similarly, tanpura is originated from India but the one used here is the Persian version of it. And yes, the women playing the tanpura was Indian.
yes. finally someone tell me what are those instruments. Thank you very much!
@@bowybowi hehe no prob

TOWER OF FANTASY BEST GAME OF YEAR!!!!
@@dan-gz1sf your opinion but no
Yes im hunting this one down
@@dan-gz1sf yoir opinion yes but no

A shamshir (Persian: شمشیر) is a type of Persian/Iranian sword with a radical curve. The name is derived from the shamshīr, which means "sword" in the Persian language.
Right as Swirls of Shamshir starts we hear the instruments Sitar and Oud playing in an orderly fashion, like a duet, both complementing each other.
This is really neat because what exactly is a swordplay? It is a duet. A dance between two swords as neither can perform without the other.
I'm 100% sure it's gonna be a combat/battle music.
Omg thanks for the information!
The way you described it makes it 1000 times better!
I think this is combat music, but only bc I recognized the motif from previous battle tracks. your explanation makes it so much more poetic tho
oh boy im going to kill everything that dares to move
/imagine hearing this but cant see a single enemy
turns out there's a dendro slime sneaking up on you from who knows where goddammit dendro slime
I physically can’t get enough of that amazing segment from 7:34-8:16. The way it crescendo’s towards the end of it gives me chills every single time.
Lol I could never be a part of the orchestra because once that moment arrived I’d get so caught up in it I wouldn’t be able to focus on playing the instrument.
It helps you play! The magic, the moment, it makes you hit harder. Many times I have finished a performance with tears streaming down my face.
here after hearing fontaine's symphony. my god does hoyo-mix never disappoint
This is why spending some money for this game feels at least worth it since it also contributes to these incredible musicians and musics
ikr? i told myself that if i spend money on this game the most id ever spend is 60$. i.e the price of a full AAA game.
AND the money keeps our waifus alive in the server.
@@knopfir Genshin is actually on track to be the most expensive game ever made
@@Relatablename It already is IIRC, cost MHY over 500 million cumulatively. But they've also earned over 7 billion so that's even more impressive.
@@Relatablename what is the most expansive game so far? Star Citizen? 😹😹😹
A message to future generations: Please dont let Genshin Impact music die😊
so true, this heckin music is so unique and monumental in the music industry
Now that's something I can agree to
Got it, digitize Yu Peng-chen's mind.
It won't 💓
Yesss
sumeru music is the best music i have ever heard in genshin like no joke this slaps hard
Yes
As an Indian this made me feel so represented and all the artists did such an amazing job😭 Also Kuljit Bhamra really brought this to life what an icon
Can you tell me what style it is? Can’t find more Indian music of this kind
@@pewpew6071 it typically comes under the classical part of indian music. There's mainly two types of it- carnatic(south indian) and hindustani(north) im not very well versed in music myself but i hope this helps :') the sitar is used in hindustani i think and veena is carnatic
@@pewpew6071I suggest checking out most of the songs from movies directed by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. They are all period pieces that make use of traditional Indian instruments and all the songs are supported by mesmerising visuals. My personal recommendations are Deewani Mastani, Mohe Rang Do Lal and Ghoomar. If you want a more Arabic infused with Indian feel like in the Sumeru ost I recommend Binte Dil.
Yu-Peng Chen consistently making the best music never ceases to amaze me
Finally bots are here
Yu-Peng Chad 🗿
Don't forget the actual musicians who are playing the piece too
@@kinogemmy of course!
Remember its not just Yu-Peng Chen, it's a whole music studio, HOYO-MiX
I think there is now a reason that Genshin Impact should be included for the nominations this year for Best OST in the Game Awards. The tempo in these music are insane and the feels! I would say give the musical team, the orchestra what they deserve!
Jenshin impact
FR
The community can be divided when it comes to exploration, combat, story, etc etc but absolutely everyone agrees the music is top tier
I'm surprised is not acknowledged more often
赞同
Much like most award shows, the Game Awards is not merit-based. It's more political than anything else.
Chinese Western Regions which mean Arabian and Pakistan and Persian style music
It was an honor to open the door so these musicians could enter
Fontaine's orchestra music video just got released, and tbh sumeru is still top tier for me, and inazuma as 2nd. Time flies so fast!
At this point , if Genshin is doing a Worldwide orchestral tour, it would be massive. Imagine all the difference culture's unique music instrument going on a Tour and we are only on the 4th nation in teyvat.
Agree. But unfortunately, not that many people appreciates classical/orchestra music
@@waifuagewatch3831 I think that's a little different, cause usually symphonies advertise those classical pieces, but if they advertise a Genshin concert and Hoyoverse advertises those locations people are a lot more willing to travel to go see it because of the music's popularity
@@wavvyle3581 yeah there'd be a lot of people willing to watch concert of something they know well.
I really would wait for them to release more countries first tho so it'd be a full experience.
I would absolutely go. I think it could actually be a very good way to get more people into orchestral music, similar to what they did for chinese opera.
@@wavvyle3581 When MHY announced they were going to hold an offline concert in Shanghai last year, the general reaction of CN community is "I'd love to go but I doubt I can get a ticket" and "Time to get to know professional ticket resellers". Arknights held an offline concert last year too and tickets were easily sold out, and I can imagine a GI concert would be much more popular.
3:08 The sound of Sitar is mesmerizing. Exceptional level arrangement and great mixup of Indian, Arabic, Persian and western instruments. I doubt any game studio has this level of capability to make music in this scale.
I was thinking the same! Hats off to them
Well, Riot Games does an exceptional job of music production too. But I agree with this being amazing.
Riot Games
@@bjoiel Riot, epic games (live events only) and Hoyoverse in my opinion
Sony's first party studios came to mind, God of War and Ghost of Tsushima had great musical production.
Sumeru music makes me cry because of how awesome it is. Moreso than the other nations the composition tells of the emotions and adventures we face in this region.
Same !! ^ ^
This is still the best region battle soundtrack ever made
Mondstadt - Photon of Fluctuation
Liyue - Gallant Challenge
Inazuma - Overlord of the Thunderstorm
Sumeru - Swirls of Shamshir
SAME MUSIC DIFFERENT VIBES
YU-PENG CHEN MASTERCLASS!
You're a frickin genius for this. I'm so amazed.
fun fact: shamshir actually means "sword" in farsi :D
How wonder i imagine about a infinity swing of dance,like...damn it Hoyo-mix. They don't miss anything about thier music and details
And they do it in different countries theatre
@@mari.from.omori. cool note!!
Instead of fighting over what country do the instruments belong to, i think we should really appreciate that all these musicians came together to show that literally "peace is in harmony" and we all are only complete with each other.
Well said 👏
@@jonathanmayer1437 didn't expect to see you here. Nice performance
but that said, i don't mind learning about them! i just need names of the ethnic instruments and i'll do the rest of the research myself :D
Harmony is one of the most important idea in Chinese culture, if you feel harmony through this game and music, you really get the point of what Mihoyo wants to present
@@Akihiko-senpai Shamelessly stolen comment from a reaction video (so ignore the timestamps except for the order they appear in during the 2nd piece):
12:20 Mandolin
12:23 Oud, from Middle East
12:27 Sitar
12:47 Kesekese (from Guinea), but some say it’s called Caxixi from South America
13:35 Santur, from Iran
13:39 Duduk, from Armenia
13:41 Baglamak, from Turkey
13:53 Ney, from Egypt
14:23 Naqareh
14:29 Tanpura (the huge string instrument with the lady)
16:53 percussion drums: Daf and Darbuka
17:25 Bouzouki, from Greece (next to Mendolin)
When the Sitar came in, my feet just started moving on their own. This was so fire 🔥
7:57 - 8:15 I might be the only one, but this part hit me different after the dance of sabzeruz cutscene 💚
fr it reminds me so much of Dunyarzad the whole quest is just a masterpiece
Im there with you, that part hits so hard in the feels

Everyone but the designers for characters was amazing, but the landscape, music, cool chill enchanting atmosphere... Perfect
what is wrong with all people, the music is literally Arabian Night, there is no mixup
@@malcolmduneidk considering there is a percussion instrument that originates from India and there's also the sitar which also originates in India and popular in northern India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh there seems to be a mix of Middle Eastern areas,

7 Nations, 7 Archons, 7 Cultures!
They made into Number 1 Games in almost 2 years is not a joke
2 years? For 4 regions, still 3 more years left, and who knows when Khaenriah and Celestia will get released
Sumeru has 4 cultures tho.
Arab, Persian, Indian, and ancient Egyptian.
@@kindperson1015 too bad everyone confuses all of them as one😕
@@kindperson1015 yes but every pull is still white as paper on a snowy day
@@kindperson1015 Yeah, Genshin kinda merged all these 4 cultures into one for Sumeru.
i prefer this one than 4.0 concert music
It still feels like yesterday but now we are in 3.6. It's almost the time to say goodbye to Sumeru...
Fr I wish we can go back restart
As a musician in Trinidad and Tobago, we have East Indian influence in everything, including music. To hear the sitar and tabla used in this is so refreshing and beautiful!!! Gonna let my Indian friends listen to this!!!!
As an Indian this performance felt personal and touched my heart, seeing the instruments my family has treasured for years being utilised in a game of this scale
I'm so ready to explore Sumeru with the sweet sounds of the sitar, santoor, table etc. in the background
@@sucharitaMCK samee
They sound beautiful
Its arabic more than Indian
sumeru Comme from samiria which is located in Baghdad Iraq
teghanri is name of famous arabic scholar
And haythem is Also and arabic name and he used to be scholar
Just to give ya a back ground of such era and since Indian are close to arabs
@@harounbelahreche1473
Yes agree
There is also an Arab instrument that is called oud or عود
Which is an ancient instrument

i'm play genshin only for the music :D
listen '' atlantis of the sands '' from uncharted 3 and tell me it u feel same this
My mom is like that too, I'm busy playing games while my mom listens to the music
Chinese Western Regions which mean Arabian and Pakistan and Persian style music

It was such a privilege to be able to pass by the building of the orchestra when it was recorded!
When Sitar hits after the pause at 3:06!! CHILLS!!! Hands down one of the best sound track in the game.
I literally can't stop listening to this masterpiece. PLS GIVE US MORE ORCHESTRAS FOR THE ANNIVERSARY HOYOVERSE
It’s been on repeat ever since the livestream.
Yeees please.. These orchestras are fun to watch. Ohhh the joy
YES!! (:
Sameeee
AMEN
It's incredible how far miHoYo has come as a company. They went from not being able to afford singers and using vocaloid software (the mi in their name stands for Miku), to hiring the best orchestras in the world to play their epic soundtracks.
Can you give me more details about their relation with vocaloid
@@brandonsantisteban9626 their first game: Flyme2themoon have the main theme was using Vocaloid Miku since they can't afford a real OST theme back then (totally normal for indie game dev in 2011). And when they forming the company - this is from wiki:
Name Origin
The letters "H" and "Y" in miHoYo's name come from Haoyu Cai and Yuhao Luo, and the letter "O" was added based on the fact that famous companies such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft contain that letter. Due to "Hoyo" already being registered, "mi" from the VOCALOID software Hatsune Miku was appended to the name. Hatsune Miku got picked because of her popularity among otakus.[17]
@@quangnhat5345 well now the switch to hoyoverse makes sense. I was like "what happened to 'mi'?"
@@Harristar88 mihoyo still exists as a company in china. hoyoverse serves global.

One day I was in my room listening to this, my father came in, sat next to me and started listening to this orchestra with me, he was fascinated listening to the sounds, he was really impressed that such good music was made just for a video game. It was nice to share such a simple moment just chatting about the instruments and the melody they emitted together. 😀
POV: You came back hear after listening to Fontaine orchestra
Literally
5:49 - it's still spectacular how the composer keeps Traveler's motif in battle songs, adapting it to each region. It feels fresh but you can still recognise that track is from Genshin
that’s the traveler’s motif? thought it was some kind of combat motif, idk…? when was this established as the traveler’s motif? and where else is it used? i’m curious :o
@@tamaraluiz6203 try compare that to one of the Inazuma's battle ost. You'll know the similarities
True! I also noticed that when I first listened to it. I guess moving forward in other regions, the battle themes should also have the Traveler's battle song motif in them but adapted to the specific region's style
@@tamaraluiz6203 I wouldn't really call it the "traveler's motif". But every region's battle theme has one piece revolving that motif. Personally, I'd consider it the battle motif, if anything.
I wouldn't rlly call it the Traveler's motif. It more so represents Genshin/Teyvat as a whole rather than a single character. I mean, it plays in almost every character demo. Character motifs are more exclusive. (i.e you'll never hear Signora's theme where she's not directly involved)
It's an honor and privilege to be able to listen and watch this... I was a musician myself, played trumpet during my high school and college years.. my love for symphonies and classical music has only grown over the years... I don't play the game, and my son does... he used to hate music and sport, but since he started listening to Genshin Music, he became a music lover himself and now studies piano as his extracurricular.. during our daily drive to school, Genshin music especially Sumeru, Fontaine, and Inazuma are always played among others... and in my own time, I also play these.. like almost everyday... so... thank you soooo muchhhhh...... Yu Peng Chen, Dimeng Yuan, their respective teams... the London and Tokyo symphony orchestra.. everyone who is part of this.. thank you!
I'm a tenor sax player and the echo part for the alto-tenor solo was beautiful!
I'm rewatching this with my dad and he loved it so much that he wanted my mom to hear it! He's not a musician but he loves Arabic style music. He really enjoyed seeing and hearing the different instruments. Thank you Yu Peng Chen and awesome musicians! As a musician myself, I know that they must have spent many, many hours practicing and performing. Thank you once again!
That's cute!
That’s nice! I’m glad he likes this music!
@@mahema5187 it’s a mix of different culture…
Its funny because sadly its not arabic type music
@@ichigostrey1035 IT’S A MIX CULTURE. and yes it does has a bit mix from arab music but not necessary entirely from arab. i can tell that when he refers arab i think it’s more like
Middle East and South Asia. but people tend to say arab to refers such cuz it’s easier that way. don’t be offended
Yu-Peng Chen the Music Archon back at it again with the sickest composition. Also props to the musicians who gave us this phenomenal performance!
Hehe The Music Arch on has a nice ring to😙
