Zoltraak - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Solo Piano arrangement / Free Sheet Music)

Sheet music is available for free per license below. I arranged this by ear from early release of Zoltraak single. I really like the music in this anime from Evan Call. There's a lot going on in the track, but I tried my best to combine the parts.

In my opinion, a brilliant fusion of Japanese and Celtic music.

what part of this sounded Japanese to u

[@chrisschultz8598]

So I discern that you disagree?

[@chunkun4902]

@@chrisschultz8598 no, I do not have an opinion yet. I'm just asking what part of this sounded Japanese to you

[@chrisschultz8598]

Know that I am not a musical scholar, but I detect Japanese influences in the riff starting at 24 seconds to 38 seconds, underlying harmonies at 56 seconds to 1:28, underlying melody from 1:25 to 2:26 and again at 2:06 to 2:26. The overlying melody and time signature seem Celtic to me, however. Of course, toss in 500 years of musical development, east-west musical pollination and 60 years of pop culture and you can argue this is completely modern, but I can't help but feel the essence of old Celtic Irish and Japanese. Full disclosure: when I first heard this I was watching the anime. The characters look Western European but they were speaking Japanese, so that may have influenced me. But I still feel those Celtic-Japanese vibes even when just listening to the piece. Since you offered, what's your analysis?

thanks for the sheet music :)

[@tapuzuko2532]

Thanks for arranging this. I really like the part at 13 in this version.
Looking to play on my flute, though I don't have musescore pro to download.

[@shopkins4841]

hmm, musescore used to be free... Maybe I can find another place to host a pdf. Are you sure you can't download the pdf version (not the midi?) for free?

[@tapuzuko2532]

@@shopkins4841 the pdf is pro as well.
I get the copyright reason musescore shut down free downloads, but pricing pro at 8/week is insane.
I see a lot of people posting music sheets on gumroad. I would buy a musescore file if you posted there.

i added a free gumroad link in the description. Sorry, youtube was hiding / is still hiding all the comments in this thread, so didn't see the replies.

More frieren! “time flows ever onward” please ❤

[@shopkins4841]

there's a pretty good one for that from OliverKMusic. I generally try to do arrangements / transcriptions of songs that haven't been done and match the original as closely as possible and adapt to piano. I don't think I would change much in it. Most of the songs I've done don't have a midi or source sheet music material, and I have to do them all by ear.
