Colonial Anthem, Adama Family Theme, & Roslin and Adama

[richmeister22]

Awesome can't find ant other words!

[mypizzaisburnt]

This is incredible.

[sonoki82]

Very difficult to capture the depth of these songs with one instrument, but you did it. Outstanding.

[SternMann93]

Where did you get the notes? I wanna play this too :)

[LovelyAmberLight]

My little girl has been trying to figure out the original BSG by ear, because we haven't been able to find music that wasn't for the whole orchestra. Would you email me a picture of your music? It would really make her happy. She's only nine, and loves the violin. Thank you, if you do. And thank you for listening, if you don't. :-D

[girlieofstarlite]

I play viola and cello, I see many kids who do not take the art seriously. I'm glad to see you are. :)

[covaloch]

Actually its called Admiral and Commander, in case anyone's interested to the exact title for the 2nd part @tron81 @hitokirivader

[Adiorocks949]

I usually blast kids playing instruments on Youtube, but this is really good. Nice job.

[Keyaaaah]

Nice!!

[Assasimon]

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful series! :D (thumbs up)

If I may, ... could you play "Allegro", also by Bear McCreary?

[1986zls]

Very good job man, I have just learned to play you are my sunshine and I learned by using the strings and where my fingers are supposed to go. Hey on the Adama family theme what were the strings and fingering positions you were hitting? Or could you find me a link to the music online if you dont know what I am talking about?

[wilhembacchus]

You are my new hero...

[yummypieProductions]

I love your posters :D

[StellarBlast]

Once I get a new cello, I will post a video reply to this remarkable video.

By the way, your play is very good, congratulations!

[1986zls]

I would love to be able to play like that someday awsome job my friend so say we all

[Caprican28]

[JeffVader1222]

[reg074]

That was excellent, well done sir

[ClintLawson]

The first person that clicks the dislike button deserves to be shot.

...in-the-head. /adama

[tron81]

That's incredible, especially the 2nd piece. I think it's actually called "Wander My Friends," not the Adama Family Theme.

[hitokirivader]

@tron81 Well I'm going by how Bear McCreary named the musical motifs on his blog. He uses his theme for the Adama family in many tracks in the soundtracks, including and most notably in "Wander My Friends" and "A Good Lighter."

[StellarBlast]

@tron81 Adama Family Theme is a leitmotif featured in multiple tracks in multiple scenes, it is always connected to William or Lee Adama or their family and their relation to other people.

[rosebudmelissa]

You are incredibly skilled!  Thank you so much for sharing your music with us!

[jackthefrenchguy]

Absolutely brilliant! I play the violin and I'd love to learn Roslin and Adama, it's incredibly beautiful and you played it wonderfully! Bravo!

[hakkaiden]

move out of the way your standing in front of princess leia ;D

just kidding, very nicely done. keep it up :)

[LiveForLife]

Battlestar, Lost, Firefly.

Marry me?

[ayureadybcn]

Love all your tv-show versions, mind playing some more? If you accept petitions, I would ask for 'A promise to return'/'Goodbye Sam' from BSG!!!

Thanks!!

[hitokirivader]

@ayureadybcn I have another TV show medley in the works (expect it in the next couple days actually), but what I've gotten the most requests for is more BSG. I may have to comply. :)

[spec10]

[templerman]

This wonderfull! It fills me with a kindred spirit composed of both sarrow and great joy at the hope and the determination to reach beyond what we are to what we can become. Play On!

[knoxvilleguy2]

[sushi22896]

Can you tell me where I can get sheet music for the viola for the colonial anthem please?? I would love to play it

[erlendaakre]

oh DAMN! I was still blown away by the angel/firefly/buffy video.. And then I saw this.. BRILLIANT! The only thing I've been listening to for the last months is the season 1-3 BSG soundtrack. Thanks for uploading.

If you ever decide to do requests, put "The shape of things to come" from BSG on the top of the list :)

[sledfreaks]

[Nereis8]

bri.lli.ant

[Dj0b]

Wonderful. Thanks for playing this version of Bear 's McCreary music for the show :)

[Sczep84]

Wow *speechless* That was breathtaking! Ur very talented!

[vickywine]

That was really amazing! I never get tired of listening to the Roslin and Adama song.

[BadAtom]

Beautiful, amazing, and all the other nice things everyone said. You are very talented!

[pennyfeline]

Beautiful.

[gininthesky]

Frakkin' amazing!!!

[pizzicotta]

lovely!!

[fanboydee]

YOU. ARE. SICK!

[busby1308]

Excellent!

[ghwasni]

The way you play the theme for Roslin and Adama is breathtaking and inspirational. Its a beautiful song and you do it justice.

[fanboydee]

you're right! the only thing i don't like about that track is how short it is - i want it to go on forever!

[cpemblington]

Very well played =) That was really enjoyable. I'm hoping for passacaglia next!

[avstars]

nicely done

[hitokirivader]

Thanks. :)

[boxfish100]

Fantastic playing!  You've done a great job.

[hitokirivader]

Thanks! :)

[waqaszaib]

I second Shape of things to come, great job by the way

[hitokirivader]

Thank you! :) And I'll take that under consideration.

[Sixu83]

Amazing and Faved!

Any chance you could perhaps do "Shape of things to come" and "Pegasus"? :)

[hitokirivader]

Thanks! :)

I'm kinda considering doing "Passacaglia," of which "The Shape of Things to Come" is somewhat a variation on the theme. I don't think "Pegasus" quite works for solo violin, much as I love that theme.

[miavaso]

awesom...now play 'the song' that awoke the five, cara played as a kid etc. please.

[amentina202]

If I ever learned to play violin, R&A would be the first piece I learned.

Wonderful.

[hitokirivader]

It's really the only piece of music from the new BSG that's specifically written for acoustic solo violin, and initially I was only going to play "Roslin and Adama." It's a beautiful theme.

[yankeeboy1865]

simply amazing. Great job. I wish i was that good at the violin

[hitokirivader]

Thank you. And with enough dedication, you can be; it just takes time. :)

[Yokozuka]

it was LOVELY n_n

[hitokirivader]

Thanks! :D

[MaureenAppleton]

nice job thank you 5/5

[hitokirivader]

You're very welcome. :)

[xsinekkx]

It's the most beautiful version of Roslin and Adama that I've listened. Thank you for sharing.

[hitokirivader]

Thank you for listening! :)

[FiveMinsToMidnight]

That was so beautiful. You're amazing. =]

[hitokirivader]

Thank you! :D

[SprockFan]

That was so, so beautiful! I got goosebumps when i heard the first notes of Roslin and Adama. Thank you soo much for sharing!

[hitokirivader]

Thank you so much! :) And I love that theme to death; originally I was just going to do that one by itself until I decided to turn this into a medley.

[LovelyBill]

So say we all!

[hitokirivader]

Frak yeah! :D

[kwhitt]

That was 4 minutes and 36 seconds of my life that were well spent. Thank you for sharing that with us. So say we all.

[hitokirivader]

You are far too kind. ^_^ And you're welcome!

[mandyanomie]

Nice vibrato!

Did you purchase the music, or figure it out yourself? (And if you purchased it, can you tell me where to find it?)

[hitokirivader]

Thanks! :)

And I didn't use sheet music; I played the themes entirely by ear.
