Hi. Do you perform original pieces of music at all? Like one person writes music and you all perform it, or do you use other people’s work from various platforms?
I hear my choir friends complain about singing scores in another language. Imagine having to sing an epic song in the language of a fictional flying lizard
It's in fact the most epic RPG ever made and it has the potential to go on forever...as long as we have talented, discerning, creative artists who create their best for the game!
@autumnpixiedust00 don't forget about Assassins Creed 2, brotherhood's theme song, Ezio's Family ❤ still gives chills down the spine, this song and Ezio's family both are out of this world composition ❤😊
I remember bein 12 and getting on TH-cam on my computer and just seeing Skyrim teaser trailer and goin crazy over such a simple trailer, while games like assassins creed do insane cinematic trailers, Skyrim’s trailer hyped me up more than anything
@Mridul Popli I don't think so in Germany we didn't have Quarantine (Corona Case) only Confirmed Peoples Have to go in Quarantine I don't want to offend you here But Unnecessary Quarantine is not the best solution
The soloist is the most impressive voice I've ever heard. If he is not of this earth, I wouldn't be surprised. You have to feel something during his first solo.
@@kruptedG weird, exploitable, buggy. But a DAMN fine game. Still one of my favorites. How much hours i sank into that is just stupid... never finished it tho. Still havent seen everything. A thick 300+ hours or so in it
@@whiterunguard8677 you like K-Pop, don't deserve to carry the "Whiterun Guard" title you your name. You should not be here, get out or I will call the guards.
@@Daveo3 I think slyrim does have bosses... What about bleak falls bearow? Or what about the first dragon you meet near whiterun, and of course what about alduin? It's generally accepted that that's not the end of the game's storyline. So I'm pretty sure you do have "bosses" even if they are easy to beat most of the time (if you know what you're doing)

@@Markus_999 Oh, ok Beethoven, I didn't realize this video was a factual assessment interview to get into the Eden School of Elite Composing, for some reason I thought it was a group of very talented people enjoying themselves while doing things the vast majority of the human population will never be able to do, and sharing their fun on the internet for others to admire and enjoy, but since it's clearly a professional assessment then sure, I guess I will have to dislike because obviously if that one asshole in the back was late by a second to his cue then my entire experience is ruined and I want nothing to do with these talentless slobs. Thanks for opening my eyes Markus F.
@@Markus_999 That's because when Bethesda did it it was with an orchestra if 20 people. They then layered it over 10 times to make it sound like a huge choir... But you're right the small TH-cam channel should've produced the same quality of music as a multi-million dollar game company 😁 Oh wait no that's ridiculous.
@@hendrixhotel I do wish there was more bass though. I'm sure the group doesn't have the same bass levels as what Bethesda curated to make just that one song. This is still an amazing rendition.
I 100% agree except sometimes it's bad like that one time promethius just started spinning up and then hit the world sealing. I couldnt talk to him ever again I had to restart my entire game
I don't know if it's because Skyrim played a huge role in my childhood or just the pure badassery that this song is, I actually started tearing up and singing along in Dovahzul and I'm not ashamed.
Goosebumps … ❤ my kiddo, on the spectrum, introduced me to Skyrim. We both played and talked about it together for countless hours. It created a special bond for us. Thank you, this is a wonderful performance and brings back such good memories
I like the arranging, but I think they did themselves a disservice by not having more vocalists and expanding out their brass section and strings. Part of the appeal of "Dragonborn" is the magnitude that you feel when you hear it. When the French Horns get their first big moment it needs to call out over this monsterous horde like a battle cry or call to arms. The strings have to carry immense harmonic weight so you need about a dozen people per part on your upper strings and at least 6 cellos and 3 basses. I also think they could have gotten a LOT of extra mileage out of making use of the bass and contra instrument, bass trombone, tuba, F-tuba, contrabassoon or contrabass clarinet. That's the meanest thing I can say: use more musicians and make us feel the magnitude of this massive, frigid, hostile wasteland that's besieged by monsters and and ancient evils. My only other gripe is that the recording was too dry (as in it needed some reverb from the concert hall or some post production included in the recording). Just a touch of reverb to give the hall some more depth would help add to the experience of the performance. Awesome things: the countertenor, he could probably sing out more, but he did a good job of moving around that high. The ensemble obviously knew their stuff and played their hearts out.
When they recorded the soundtrack for Skyrim they had thirty vocalists and then recorded multiple times to mix it together to make it louder if I'm not wrong.
I agree. This sounds a lot smaller than the epic, echo-y, resonating original. The orchestra was a bit too small and a bit too loud. The orchestra should be full, but not in your face.
@@dustinakadustin yup , 30 singers , recorded 3 times - so a 90 people choir. This one can also be made more epic and brassy by digital reverbs and programmed instruments(it robs authenticity) , but I have to say , I like this approach as there are quite a few symphonic orchestra type covers.
I don't agree, I think the lack of that big sound is good for the purpose of this since out there are lots that sound almost like the original one. In my opinion is a good choice not to have that super big sound, this particular cover, I think, it's made with that in mind. If they wanted a monstrous sound they would have made it that way. Also it's good when a cover does not sound identical to the original because it gives that unique colour. About the reverb, I produce and I don't think more reverb its necessary, I'm pretty sure they have a good mixing engineer, maybe if they put more reverb the sound would get a little messy, while the sound here is cristal clear, all the instruments dance together and they don't fight with one another. Sorry if I have made any mistakes, english it's not my main language. Have a nice day.
Know the reason? Men's voices don't have the vibrato that women's do. A "flatter" sound comes from men. Men don't have that "warble" that women do. Difference in vocal cords.
@@DodiTovnot necessarily. I've heard plenty of men with vibrato in their voices. Both male and female have it since its naturally occurring. Yes, it's usually less noticeable in males, but we train our voices to control our vibrato to the point were you can hardly hear it. I should know, our director all but beat us into controlling the hell out of ours. 😳😄
So many years on and this is still the most beautiful thing ive ever listened to. I dont know what all you guys got paid. But you will never be forgotten with this amazing beauty. I for one will play this till the day i die. Absolute perfection. Thank you all
@Egolo Egman I feel the same cause it was my childhood but now since I’ve grown older I can’t seem to want to stick to a game. I guess my imagination is fading
this made me cry bc my friend loved skyrim im happy he was able to play before he passed the day it came out on xbox one he told me " gamers dont die they come back to life in the games they most and i wanna say to Bethesda thank you if you see this , thank you game music collective
My favorite part is at the 2:55 mark, when Jasper Leppänen hits the high notes in that final contra tenor line with no accompaniment, and then the conductor just gives him this look of sheer satisfaction, because it was perfect. Spot on. I've been coming back to this video several times a day for the past two weeks just to watch that one part.
Yep. Know that.afterI finished skyrim 100% (addons check thatfor you) i immediatly started a new playthrough. This game is just.... it just pulls you back
Okay that singer with that high voice props to him. And the violinist looked like she was having a blast. Reasons like this I kind of miss playing in band. Playing stuff like this is super fun, and satisfying when you play in front of everyone
Huge well of emotions hit me at the 2:57 mark, started to cry....music is such a beautiful thing and along with all the happiness it brings to our lives even through video games.
Jeremy Soule recorded the chorus with an orchestra of 30 vocalists three times, and digitally merged them to get a chorus of 90 strong men for that hair-raising, bone-chilling, viking/nord feeling.

after this, the entire orchestra was enslaved by the Thalmor. they are being held as prisoners and are being tortured at the Thalmor Embassy. please report to the Thieves Guild to pick up your quest.
Why must one report to the Thieves Guild to pick up a quest? You do realize one can just as easily walk up to the Thalmor prison and just, oh I don't know, free the prisoners? Plenty of target practice. And if they are getting on your nerves and get too close you could always Fus Ro Dah them across the room! No need to take a detour to the thieves guild. Or the Dawnguard. Or the Companions. Or the Brotherhood. Or, well, any group for that matter! And don't say it is because you want to get paid....do you honestly need to be paid to do the right thing? How many ruins have you delved into? Make your gold there, and don't leave people in a bad situation because you want someone, somewhere, to make sure you are under contract to save these people for any kind of reward......(unless the reward is a mountain of Sweet Rolls! Then everything I said goes "Wooosh!" right out the window!)
@@youonlyliveonce47 that's too much work. why not just press ~ and type in "killall" and loot? or better yet, for gold, press ~ and type in player.additem 0000000f (amount of gold)
@@Skaarxiong1 Because, that, Sneak thief, would be CHEATING!!! Also, if you actually read my comment you would know that I am not saving them for money. Don't need it, not interested.....unless someone were to offer me say.....a Castle full of sweet rolls! Then, and only then, would I take a detour and get THAT contract! But since no one is, I would much rather get in some target practice while doing the right thing. Release the prisoners. Then have a nice walk to the Winking Skeever in Solitude and have a much deserved mug of ale and a Sweet Roll. Random thought: Why do they call it "killall"....does it actually "killall" meaning the prisoners too? Or just the enemy? Because if it doesn't kill the prisoners too then perhaps it should be "killallenemies" instead of just "killall".
@@youonlyliveonce47 i see, you never play Skyrim on the PC. you can kill everyone with "killall" or "kill" point and click on who you want to die. and you can respawn any npc by using the command code. i'm a PC gamer, not console. you get more out of the PC because you can mod the shit out of it, make a 2011 game looks like it's a 2021 game. better animation, extra content that was cut out and with the folks at Nexusmods, those contents are restore. hell, if you play as a chick, you can get pregnant, your boobs and butt jiggle...giggity! hair physic, all that wonderful stuff. i have 250 mods running to make Skyrim look cool, heck, i'm playing as Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer. you can even play as Conan...Crom, i have never pray to before...being Arnold in Skyrim is the shit! and weapons...omg...so many, i'm currently using Frostmourne from World of Warcraft...the Lich King's weapon from Warth of the Lich King's xpac. what kind of gaming nerd are you?
The girl with the white hair and the dude in the the fedora. Were so into it. The little sharp movements were funny. And when the the guy that looks like jëns hit those high notes I just felt something.
I went and got the lyrics from another video. This is inspirational stuff, I swear! I need the clarinet parts so that I can try and join in! 🤓 I'm trying to learn another instrument as well.. All because of of this. 😯
I've been singing excerpts from the song for probably almost 5 years. My parents are already sick of this honey. But it has become so ingrained in my mind that starting to unconsciously sing any melody, I return to it. And now, when I hear a normal performance, my soul is burning, and even though it's early in the morning, I'll go into the next room and sing with them in a whisper.. I apologize if your eyes leaked out when reading * uses a translator *
Only just found this masterpiece. Not only is the theme absolutely legendary, the guys and girls performing it here are just as legendary. Absolutely stunning! Goosebumps all over... Big, big, big respect from me, and a huge thank you.
@Rijal Jose so... You're telling me a time stopping vampire and a man who can delete time along with someone who is literally immortal and had to be banished to space is weak?... Normally I wouldn't do this but I'm gonna protect Jojo... Also check who you're calling weak
1:27 I listened to many variations of the choirs for this song, and to be honest, this guy showed how it should have been [in the original version]. This talent is hard to measure, it completely lowered everything that was sung earlier) and this is really impressive! I would like to see more works with his participation. Great job, there are also a lot of talented people in the orchestra. I enjoyed everything.
HOLY SHIT THAT ONE GUY'S VOICE. awesome work as always, you guys are not popular enough. if yall start touring the world dont forget to come to singapore!
I absolutely love seeing my two favorite things coming together with playing all these video game soundtracks. You all inspire me to get better and strive for greatness. Thank you
I do love everything in this performance. First of all, the choir has learned all the words which is hell of a job. Also the conducter is super young and this leads me to the thought that he might even have a taste of Skyrim before. I love this version of Dragonborn, thanks!

When they recorded the soundtrack for Skyrim they had thirty vocalists and then recorded multiple times to mix it together to make it louder if I'm not wrong.
I agree. This sounds a lot smaller than the epic, echo-y, resonating original. The orchestra was a bit too small and a bit too loud. The orchestra should be full, but not in your face.
@@dustinakadustin yup , 30 singers , recorded 3 times - so a 90 people choir.
This one can also be made more epic and brassy by digital reverbs and programmed instruments(it robs authenticity) , but I have to say , I like this approach as there are quite a few symphonic orchestra type covers.
I don't agree, I think the lack of that big sound is good for the purpose of this since out there are lots that sound almost like the original one. In my opinion is a good choice not to have that super big sound, this particular cover, I think, it's made with that in mind. If they wanted a monstrous sound they would have made it that way. Also it's good when a cover does not sound identical to the original because it gives that unique colour. About the reverb, I produce and I don't think more reverb its necessary, I'm pretty sure they have a good mixing engineer, maybe if they put more reverb the sound would get a little messy, while the sound here is cristal clear, all the instruments dance together and they don't fight with one another.
Sorry if I have made any mistakes, english it's not my main language. Have a nice day.

He was amazing, totally surprising to hear such a high pitch from him. It was an excellent performance from him.
Know the reason? Men's voices don't have the vibrato that women's do. A "flatter" sound comes from men. Men don't have that "warble" that women do. Difference in vocal cords.
@@DodiTovnot necessarily. I've heard plenty of men with vibrato in their voices. Both male and female have it since its naturally occurring. Yes, it's usually less noticeable in males, but we train our voices to control our vibrato to the point were you can hardly hear it. I should know, our director all but beat us into controlling the hell out of ours. 😳😄

For someone who just spent five hours playing Skyrim, I’m very happy. And the soloist is an angel and can sing higher than I can
Jasper might be an angel!
i already spent more than 5 thousand hours in this game... and i started playing again yesterday hahahaha
He used to be a bass but took an arrow to his wotsits!!

this made me cry bc my friend loved skyrim im happy he was able to play before he passed the day it came out on xbox one he told me " gamers dont die they come back to life in the games they most and i wanna say to Bethesda thank you if you see this , thank you game music collective
May he rest in peace, I'm glad he was able to play. ✨

I watched this live, twice!! And will probably watch them again. Amazing conductor, amazing band, and amazing choir and really nice music selection.
My favorite part is at the 2:55 mark, when Jasper Leppänen hits the high notes in that final contra tenor line with no accompaniment, and then the conductor just gives him this look of sheer satisfaction, because it was perfect. Spot on. I've been coming back to this video several times a day for the past two weeks just to watch that one part.
It was indeed a magical moment in the concert
Damn, so he's finnish like me! Leppänen is kinda common name in Finland.
Great singer.

after this, the entire orchestra was enslaved by the Thalmor. they are being held as prisoners and are being tortured at the Thalmor Embassy. please report to the Thieves Guild to pick up your quest.
Why must one report to the Thieves Guild to pick up a quest? You do realize one can just as easily walk up to the Thalmor prison and just, oh I don't know, free the prisoners? Plenty of target practice. And if they are getting on your nerves and get too close you could always Fus Ro Dah them across the room! No need to take a detour to the thieves guild. Or the Dawnguard. Or the Companions. Or the Brotherhood. Or, well, any group for that matter! And don't say it is because you want to get paid....do you honestly need to be paid to do the right thing? How many ruins have you delved into? Make your gold there, and don't leave people in a bad situation because you want someone, somewhere, to make sure you are under contract to save these people for any kind of reward......(unless the reward is a mountain of Sweet Rolls! Then everything I said goes "Wooosh!" right out the window!)
@@youonlyliveonce47 that's too much work. why not just press ~ and type in "killall" and loot? or better yet, for gold, press ~ and type in player.additem 0000000f (amount of gold)
@@Skaarxiong1 Because, that, Sneak thief, would be CHEATING!!! Also, if you actually read my comment you would know that I am not saving them for money. Don't need it, not interested.....unless someone were to offer me say.....a Castle full of sweet rolls! Then, and only then, would I take a detour and get THAT contract! But since no one is, I would much rather get in some target practice while doing the right thing. Release the prisoners. Then have a nice walk to the Winking Skeever in Solitude and have a much deserved mug of ale and a Sweet Roll.
Random thought: Why do they call it "killall"....does it actually "killall" meaning the prisoners too? Or just the enemy? Because if it doesn't kill the prisoners too then perhaps it should be "killallenemies" instead of just "killall".
@@youonlyliveonce47 i see, you never play Skyrim on the PC. you can kill everyone with "killall" or "kill" point and click on who you want to die. and you can respawn any npc by using the command code. i'm a PC gamer, not console. you get more out of the PC because you can mod the shit out of it, make a 2011 game looks like it's a 2021 game. better animation, extra content that was cut out and with the folks at Nexusmods, those contents are restore. hell, if you play as a chick, you can get pregnant, your boobs and butt jiggle...giggity! hair physic, all that wonderful stuff. i have 250 mods running to make Skyrim look cool, heck, i'm playing as Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer. you can even play as Conan...Crom, i have never pray to before...being Arnold in Skyrim is the shit! and weapons...omg...so many, i'm currently using Frostmourne from World of Warcraft...the Lich King's weapon from Warth of the Lich King's xpac. what kind of gaming nerd are you?

I've been singing excerpts from the song for probably almost 5 years. My parents are already sick of this honey. But it has become so ingrained in my mind that starting to unconsciously sing any melody, I return to it.
