Nausicaa Requiem - Piano

[Beastthepianoplaying]

amazing... still trying to find the sheet music for this- anyone have a link?

[Junosensei]

@Beastthepianoplaying I don't know about the sheet music for anyone else's rendition, but this rendition is my own original. I don't know how to read sheet music, let alone make it, though, so don't count on me making one. Sorry. ):

[Gassia]

forget it... it's the Sarabande from Handel T_T

I'm still wondering for the "nanana" part

[Gassia]

Did Joe Hisaishi really composed it? I'm getting curious because it's a music my childhood was made of and to me few people knew this music, but I'm starting to hear it a lot around me... So I'm wondering, isn't the melody from a most famous compositor? (i'll be damn sad if it is, but i wanna know the truth T_T)

[Junosensei]

Joe Hisaishi did indeed compose the song... and I'd say he's pretty famous. More so in Japan than internationally, but he does music for international projects, too, so I'd say he's well known. His work for Ghibli is his most well known work, which doesn't go unrewarded.

In Japan, the tune (and many other works of his, usually Ghibli-based) is commonly used as jingles for train stations and even schools and other public buildings, so there's probably not one person who doesn't know it. ^^

[oox2000]

@Junosensei : actually: the first part is coming from the german composer Handel: it is called "la sarabande".

[bananarama666]

@Gassia Joe hisaishi composed it. I think what you hear often is Handel's Sarabande (look it up on youtube) which has a very similar opening. Maybe Joe borrowed the opening chords, but the rest is his.

[Laroling]

@Gassia well, actually he 'stole' the melody in the beginning part quite frankly from the much much much older Sarabande by Georg Friedrich Handel (1689-1759), also used in Stanley Kubrick's 'Barry Lyndon'.

[KevtheRobot]

@Gassia The opening bit sounds a lot like an old Sarabande by Handel.

[RawrManu]

This is so beautiful. Excellent job. :)

[Junosensei]

Thanks~<3

[kaepskeeg]

Wonderful performance. How long have you been playing?

[Junosensei]

Well, I can't read sheet music well, but I have been playing from ear since forever ago. I have a home video where my uncle played a melody on a keyboard and I copied him without making any mistakes. >.> I don't even know how I did it. I was 2 or 3 at the time.

[jaebam]

i like the part before the high melody starts

all the sheets i found doesnt have that :/

strange...

love ur version even more now :D haha

keep ony playing

[Junosensei]

It's not strange.

Not only did I NOT play this by ear, but I also did NOT play by sheet music.

I heard the song enough to go off of memory.

That's why my version is different than everyone else's... ^^;

[bucketheadx3]

amazing.

[CookieOnMyShoulder]

Great but seems a bit fast, I don't get to enjoy it as much I could 9.5/10

Ya I'm a critic

[Junosensei]

Haha. Thanks for the compliment! XD

[SavageHunter64]

I think its maybe a little flat? I'm not sure. That note in the chorus part at the end of the trill type note thing always annoys me because its weird sounding Like at 0:56 . Other than that, its fine.

[Junosensei]

I don't see what you mean...

[SavageHunter64]

It sounds a little flat at the 3, 4, and 5th notes in the chorus. Its hard to describe it whithout being able to make noise.

[Junosensei]

Well, I noticed the room space makes the sound a bit warped...

At least, on camera.

When I think of the actual playing, I don't hear it the same. ^^

[epocaliptos]

Woow, great job!

[Junosensei]

Thanks. ^^

[ganon316]

Very well done. I enjoyed all 2:27 seconds of it!

[Junosensei]

^^ I'm really glad you think so~

[MistyAnimalMad]

You played it beautifully and considering you're doing all from your two ears, it's rather breath-taking.

[Junosensei]

This was not a complicated song to play... and I'm missing part of the song because I did it from memory instead of just by ear... and I screwed up a little... XD

[Tigorbr]

Very Good!!!

[Junosensei]

I appreciate it~

[Spiritblade9]

You're really good! And you didn't even use a music score! I'm very impressed!

[Junosensei]

Thanks~

[mangobat827]

[happyhayaodansen]

[Korv321]

[Dragon12203]

Wow only 5 comments? Too bad this is an amazing piece i loved the movie too. BTW You play very nicely and stayed in good tempo ^(^u^)^

[Junosensei]

Thanks. And 5 comments is a lot for me. I'm proud. ^^

[Frikar666]

Can you make a tutorial? This is so beautiful!

[Junosensei]

Sorry. I probably can't. At least, anytime soon. I have lots of things I'm doing and I can't think of how to make a tutorial... Sorry...!

[crazylazysakura]

waaaa!! you did this too!!!

soooooo prettttttyyyy i'm gonna try to learn it by ear =D wish me luck lollll

[Junosensei]

A-ah...! Thank you...!

[heckshotstuff1]

Beautiful. Loved it, I started singing to it:D

[Junosensei]

Hee-hee. Thanks. ^^

[Blacknarcissa]

Very good! I really love this song!

[Junosensei]

Thanks~!

[Servewell]

Bravo! Bravo! A good little performance. Very enjoyable.

I like Joe Hisaishi music, in all its form and glory.

[Junosensei]

Thanks.

He's a great genius. And no one in Japan doesn't recognize his songs either. I had no idea it was THAT popular there until I heard this song being played over the intercom during lunch time every day at the elementary I visited...
