  • Bravissimo! Complimenti per l'esecuzione e grazie per lo spartito!!

    Monica

  • I wanna cry... perfect!

  • Hi! You can not send me midi file or sheet music? But the midi would be better.

    Thanks!

  • I have tried to get this song down 10 million times and it just never works. You are simply amazing to me :)

  • I've looked this up many times, and this is definitely my favorite version on piano!

  • @thesimnetwork Thank you! Glad to hear that. Have you seen my newest upload of this version? I think you prefer that above this one ;) Thanks for your time!

  • that movie scares the living crap outta me but i love this song and you played it amazingly!

  • i downloaded that guys sheet music, but the notes are all screwed up. it doesnt come out like how you're playing it. I doubel checked the notes and what i filled in are correct. but it doesnt play right. what are the starting notes after the intro at 22 seconds?

  • you play it very well!

  • absolutely stunnging. i am looking forward to the free sheet music. absolutely breathtaking. you are my inspiration. plus this is my favorite movie. -ghost.

  • I'm currently trying to learn this piece, and I often look at your video for inspiration. Great job, very beautiful !

  • @quentinlebegue thank you!! Good luck mastering the piece:-)

  • why is it hard? i just got the music.....from his link....is it really hard?-ghost

  • 0:22-0:41 is just so gorgeous!

  • Wow....how long did it take you to master this? You're amazing!

    P.S. can you play "The Great Eatlon" from Lady in the Water? :)

  • hello very good men respect ;)

  • Awesome work!  I love this song & movie. I made my own little arrangement of the main theme in this song by ear, but would love to be able to read sheet music well enough to learn it "the real way."

  • it's beautiful and i love your old blue turquoise upright -thank you for sharing your gift

  • Nice

  • hey great song Noud!

    you see, i cant read much sheet music, and i dont even know a full song :(

    so i would love if you could make sone tutorials of your songs. I absolutely love movie themes like you, but i would like to learn one or more of your arrangements. and that is though a tutorial. but if you dont want to just let me know:)

    im looking forward to your upcoming videos:D

  • @coolr77 Hi there! I just uploaded a new video of the Gravel Road. With a different camera angle. Can you please let me know if that is usefull for you? Thanks in advance :-)

  • PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL

  • @vivera243 I am planning to do that indeed. What do you think of the camera angle in my newest video of the Gravel Road? Can you please take a look? Thanks!

  • Wow! This is amazing.

  • Wow! You are really good! It's amazing that you've only been playing for a couple years.

  • Great job, its above my level, but i am learning to play this song if it kills me haha. I do have trouble with the long chords tho. Anyways fantastic video!

  • im usually not the biggest fan of this type of music but fell in love with song and hearing you play it, it just sounds so beautiful

  • man i wish i could play that like you... i got the sheet music and all but i cant play it! :O

    lol great job, sounds awesome

  • Just be patience. And don't rush it. Actually i play it slower than the original piece. Otherwise i will get sloppy. Just break down the tempo. Play it very slowly and then turn up the tempo bit by bit. Good luck with it;)

  • tyvm :D

  • i've always wanted to play this.

    where did you get the sheets?

  • Great performance.

  • Thanks:-)

  • Wow you're great! I play the piano for ten years, and you impressed me! Hauntingly beautiful.

  • Thank you!!

  • Five star for you, man :)

    I enjoyed very much your performance. I love that melody.

    Is the score on .pdf available in the web?

  • Thanks for your support:-) See the link in the infobar. There is where you can get the sheets of this piece. Enjoy it!!

  • love it love it love it. just love iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

  • haha, i like the piece too:-)

  • i went to the site got the sheet music and started learning today and i suck at it so far in the past hour i've had it! dude do you have any tips on this particular song?! i think you played it beautiful and its such a beautiful arrangement!

  • Hehe, well i don't think you should expect that you learn the piece in a hour. Maybe when you play the piano 5 years or longer. I am a beginner player too here. I played about 3 years. A good method which i didn't know at that time. Is to practise in fragments. Learn the difficults parts seperately. Play only left hand at difficults part then only right hand. PLay at a lower tempo (which i am doing at this video:P).Just play at a very slow tempo in the first place then turn it up little by littl

  • When you do this step by step. I am sure you will succeed. When you mastered the difficult parts. The easy parts will come along with the rest. I'll hope this information will help you. If i have to retake this i would do it that way too;) GOOD LUCK with it!!!

  • Thank you for your help!

    and yea i've noticed that too learning in fragments is best!

    thanks so much for posting this or else i never would have thought that this song could be played on the piano!

  • This is so amazingly beautiful! Thank you for uploading this. You play it so well!

  • Thank you very much!

  • please, what is the scale the violin part uses????? im dying to know. i want to transpose to guitar.

  • It is written in G minor. You can also see that on the sheets. See infobar ...

    Good luck transposing it to the guitar:-)

  • this piece makes me want to cry, i use to play the violin and i wish so much i could play it on the violin, but i play the piano now and you make it so beautiful that i don't regret giving up the violin

  • hehe, thanks for your kind comment. Good luck mastering this piece on the violin!

  • THis is my favorite of yours.

  • Thank you.

  • Could someone please tell me where you can buy sheet music for the violin? I would love to play it! Same with our symphony orchestra!

  • this is one of my favorites songs!

    good job, 5 star!

  • Okay this is BEAUTIFUL ! I love this song so much and it's awesome there's a piano version.

    You did a wonderful job, it sounds flawless ! How long did it take you to play it that well ? haha

    And thank you for posting the sheet music! :]

  • Thank you!! I don't know exactly how long, although i didn't played the piano very long after posting this video i think about 2 years. But i practised almost every day. I became an addict:P

  • Hi this is great playing!I was wondering if you could please very kindly let me know where abouts you got this piano score from.I will be very gerateful to you if you please gaive any ideas as to where it could be possible to ever get this score I have been looking for it for ages! : (

  • It is made by Joseph Rozell. He is from pianothemes. But that site is shutted down for some reason:S I am afraid you have to start to arrange sheetmusic yourself. I also want to arrange some piece of this great OST. But i have some other projects going on:-)

  • where did you get the sheet music? i have looked everywhere but i simply cannot find it

  • Lovely! Gave me chills!

  • Wow, beautiful arrangement!! Thanks for sharing the link to the music sheet so we can try to learn it :)

  • Hehe, i am glad i helped you finding the sheets:-) Good luck mastering the song;)

  • where did you get the sheet music from?

  • I love your piano! Awesome color! the song is just incredible as well. I have always loved JNH!

  • Thank you!! I also love the music of JNH VERY MUCH=D

  • really nice piece man. i couldnt believe the music in this sountrack when i bought the cd. james newton howard is absolutly fantastic and deserved to clean up composing something so amazing as this.

  • yeah i though the same. JNH is absolutely amazing. One of his best scores i think. One of his newest soundtracks of Defiance is also extremely poweful!

  • well done

  • This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for giving us the link to this gorgeous music! :)

  • Your welcome :-)

  • omg i love youre playing its sounds sooo beautiful!!!!! you sooooo need to do a tutorial!!!! please!!!!!

  • @mygreentamberine1409 Hi there! Yes i am planning to make a tutorial. Can you tell me what you think of my newest video of the Gravel Road. Especially the camera angle. Do you think it is usefull?

  • wow !!!! it's amazing !!!!!!

    can you do a tutorial please ?

    thank you so much !!!

  • @gordiliel16 Yes i am planning to do that. I made a new video of this piece. Can you please tell me if you like the new camera angle? Thank you!!

  • WOW - So amazing!!

  • beautiful! one of his best scores I think.

  • wow!!!! i was trying to play that by ear,,,,but this is a difficult one to play like that,,,,,,where did you get the sheets man?,,,,outstanding performance by the way.

  • i played it by ear too.. its not that difficult you just have to try and not give up ! :)

  • harika bir çalışma. ellerine sağlık. good job...

  • This is really good!! I'm gonna try to play it too lol.

  • this makes me feel guilty for neglecting my piano....oh.....

  • this is amazing..how long did it take u to learn?

  • thanks:D Well that is difficult to answer. At that time i played the piano less than 3 years. So when you practise other pieces you practising your general piano skills. But i guess you mean how long i practise this one when i first got the sheets in my hands. Well i think about 2 months, because it is really tricky. I wasn't able at that time to play it at the tempo as the sheets indicated. I think i am able to play it faster now:-) Anyway good luck with the piece;)

  • welcome :) ya it seems really tricky but u did it well! have u seen the movie that this piece is from? its incredible! thanks i need the luck haha it will take me awhile to finish this piece!

  • beautiful

  • I'm speechless. That is absolutley amazing!

  • critisism,

    too fast

    no emotion

    piano out of tune

    rhythm all wrong

    piano is too blue

    just kidding. its awsome, nice job

  • hahahaha ;)

  • @MurphyBros70 Hi there Murhy, I can remember you wanted a tutorial in the past. I made a new video. Can you take a look at it? Do you think it helps? Thanks for your time :-)

  • great job bud i loved it

  • Thank you:-)

  • I love this one so much, you play it like a God! So beautiful!

  • hahaha, i am glad you like it:D

  • Beatifully played. That blue piano is sure ugly though :)

  • hahaha, thanks:D

  • lovely, it's a shame no one has the violin music though :(

  • Hey maybe you should Hilary herself if she wants to make a video of it:D She has an youtube account!! Her name is HilaryHahnvideos! Go check it:D

  • i am transcribing the violin part myself by ear :) and using the piano transcription to help me, so thank you very much for sharing it. once it's done i'll share mine for any violinists that want it.

  • Well i am really glad to hear that!!! You will make a lot of people happy with that! I am sure with that:D I used to get a lot of mails for the sheets when i didn't attached it yet to the infobar. And a lot of violist where asking the sheets:D So you do a great job by doing that. Just a curious question. The notes are approximately the same for the violin isn't it? I mean the violin isn't a transpositor instrument? So they don't have to be read in another key or in a different interval....

  • yeah the notes are the same :) it's the same clef. i'm nearly finished with it, i'm just trying to make it as accurate as i can!

  • Good job!!! :D

  • You play sweetly... and with heart.

  • thanks;)

  • ok... well...

    it's very bad for only one reason : THE ACADEMIC ASPECT.

    OMG It sounds really academic !

    you really have to forgot the paper and close your eyes !

    forgot the metronome too ! it's really important.

    That kind of music is not classical ! so don't play it as a classical music, it must be flexible and so much sensible and full with LOVE.

  • Sorry, i don't understand you. This is no free style piece. And forget the metronome??! I play this piece slower than the tempo indicates, so you wrong with that, and i tried to play with love:D But maybe i was nervous since this was my first video and the sounc quality is bad. And actually this is written by JNH who is classically trained and who's examples are John Williams and Beethoven. So this is no freestyle piece. But thanks for the comment and your opinion;)

  • eff my life...I really need to learn how to read sheet music hahaha

    anyways, this is absolutley beautiful!

    i hope one day I will be able to play this (:

  • Good luck with it;)

  • i can play this

  • lovely playing. :)

    and thank you so much for posting the link to the sheet music, I've been combing the internet for it.

  • This is beautiful...where is the link though....I can't seem to find it.

  • kalos..alla oxi kaluteros apo mena to pswnio

  • Yes i totally agree with you :-) I was thinking the same :P :P

  • where's the sheet music??? I can't find it ANYWHERE!!! Great video btw! Great playing!

    bella =]

  • good plug for my friend but yah he was forced to take them down unfortunatly

  • Your playing is very good. I like this video and this piano version of The Gravel Road. But the sound quality isn't very good. I used the download for seeing the note sheets and I was surprised, I think it is difficult to play this song like this. :)

  • @einstain7 Hi there! I made a new video with better sound qualtiy. I'll hope you like it more then this one :-) Please let me know:-) Thanks!

  • I don't know how many times I've watched this video! I love it so much! I think I've rated it over 10 times and watched it tousands of times without getting tired of it! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful piano playing Noud!!!

  • hahaha, now i understand the rating of this video is soo high;)

  • hihi =) yea, I rated it again now =D

  • hahahaha

  • Thanks so much for the wonderful playing and the sheets, I don't know if the sheets were taken off of Pianothemes but I couldn't find them.. I've been looking for the sheets forever and I'm so glad you finally posted them =]

    Thanks so much!

  • Hehe, i am glad to hear that:D Well, indeed i downloaded the sheets from pianothemes. Fortunately i took everything i could when i had the chance:P It is also good to hear that the download link is working on the info bar:-) Thanks for that...

  • im friends with the owner or pianothemes and unfortunatly he was forced to take then down by hal leonard

  • You're amazing man. It's gonna take some work for me to get that one down! haha you should play something from Amelie, that would be tight

  • All your videos are great but i think this is my favourite song, you play it great. I would like to be as good as you :)

  • Thank you:-) And thank you for the RE5 link:-) I can't wait for that one! Already a demo available about 3 days:D

  • Hehe, I also can't wait for RE5, it's gonna be awesome :)

  • Very good. Thanks for sharing. Would you send me the notes?

  • Hi there thanks for the nice comments! Doesn't the link working in the information list?! Otherwise send me a personal message with your mail adres;)

  • Congratulations! I'm from Brazil and i wachiting many videos from The Ville and i found your. You're amazing.

  • mr pianothemes is a great man :) I have known that page for a looong time, too bad they havent had many new contribitions (spelling?) to the site.. you do a great job, this piece is SO hard, have to get used to the right hand in the start.. :D oh well, have to watch the movie first I guess ^^

  • =] James Newton Howard

  • i search for the sheet music of Gravel Road for so long time...and now i found your video...its fantastic!!! Can you send the notes to me please????????

  • I know youve heard this alot but where did you get the sheet music for this song. I have looked everywhere.

  • James Newton Howard and Howard Shore are my favorite.

  • yes you caaaaaaaaan and i have it!!! it's free and easy to get from the internet

  • I am sorry sou8412368, i cannot follow you;) What do you mean? It is free and easy to get from the internet?

  • yes! i got it from the internet and for free! : )

  • I know, all Rozell sheets are for free and they are also the best! I posted a link in the info bar for this song. Because pianothemes is no more :( :(

  • Yeah right.the best....JOHN HAWARD NEWTON IS THE BEST

  • lol james newton howard....was thinking about to persons at same time xd

  • hehe, don't forget about other composers like: James Horner, Joe Hisaishi and Thomas Newman :P

  • Howard Shore too...like playing "concerning hobbits" XD

  • hehe, yes indeed! By the way joseph Rozell made also a great arrangement of that piece: concerning hobbits. That is also a nice example of the great work of Joe Rozell:D That piece isn't on the market. I mean you cannot order it from the internet...

  • Could you please make an overhead view of this and play it slowly so people like me could learn to play this piece=)

  • @pianist94 I did that. I'll hope it is usefull. Will you let me know:-) Thanks!

  • Wish I could do that, good job!

  • My favourite song, just beautiful!! :) I'm learning to play this at the moment too.

  • oooh, its sooo beatiful - I love it! Really perfect work ;)

  • im trying to figure out the notes on guitar.i want to play this song

  • could u send me the piece please

  • Very beautiful. If it is not too much trouble, could you send to me the sheets of M Night Shayamalan's movies? My email is aoi_tio@yahoo . com

    I sincerely thank you.

  • Please play this with the camera angle view above the piano.I go by visual and would love to learn to play this piece.thank you so very much!!!! Excellente!

  • I love your username!

  • @LEMONYSNICKET07 Just did that. I uploaded a new video of the Gravel Road. Can you please let me know what you think of it? Thanks in advance!!

  • BEAUTIFUL! i wish i could play an instrument......that was amazing. great job!

  • Please, could somebody tell me where to buy the score?

    I wrote James NH fan page 4 years ago but they noticed me that there was not an official score in the market.

  • hi there, I am sorry for the late reply. I am in Canada right now:D But about your question, things have changed a lot in the last 4 years i think. I have several original scores of JNH. For example the King Kong book. All original scores of JNH, or Corynorhinus from Batman begins (okay, in combination with Hans Zimmer ;) ,Outbreak love theme, One fine day, End titles of Lady in the water. But i have to agree with you that there are way to few scores of him published;) Grtz ps want the sheets?

  • Hey, joined youtube just so I could message you. Would it be possible for you to re-record this video but with a cam angle higher up so that I can see exactly what keys you're playing? they're a little hard to catch because its played so quick...let me know if its possible, thanks

  • awe.

    I loved this movie...

    Love, it was so great. I aspire to learn this... I just watched it twice in the past two nights... and cried a little both times.... Such an ingeniously organized story... Beautiful story. With Amazing music to accompany.

    Love,

  • hehe, nice comment. I also like the movie very much. The ending was really shocking:O I remember i had gooseboomps all over my body at that moment. I mean the escapism clue etc.

    I think the soundtrack is also great of JNH. Good luck with mastering the song! You have the sheetmusic?

  • No, my printer seems to be refusing to print the pdf file T-T

    and lol, your Piano's sheet music pile looks like mine would xD filled with Rozell's arrangements too x]

    blast! I wonder what's wrong with the file... T~T

  • lol, nevermind... The printer wasn't hooked up xD

    Well, I'm gonna go start learning that beautiful thing! ^,^

  • Very Great

  • dit is heel mooi!! Stoere piano trouwens :) It's blue..

  • you should play the main theme to lady in the water.

    bet you would be fantastic.

  • This is great. I love this music.

  • really beautifull,have you got the partitures from this score?I play violin and I can't find this :(

  • It was one of the most beatiful songs i've heard.

    Excelent.

  • could you send me the sheet music for this as well? i have been playing piano for 11 years and want to master the song. :]

  • No problem, just send me your mail adres:-)

  • Sorry to bother you, but might I have the sheet music to this song as well?

  • You are ah-mazing! you inspired me to try and learn the piano. My goal is to master this song. Do you think that you could email me the sheet music?? I tried looking it up, with no avail. Please reply back! thanks! = )

  • PLz send me your mail adres. You too KeltischeDrache;)

    Good luck with mastering the song;)

  • Awesome work! I really love this song (and the film). A tutorial would be appreciated. :)

    - yoggisen

  • Yes, I agree with everything yoggisen said! :)

  • @yoggisen Working on it. Have you seen my newest video? Hopefully you think it is usefull.

  • such a beautiful song for such a creepy movie!

  • Its not often i am taken back by musicians on youtube, but you are outstanding. i find myself listening to your recording of "the gravel road" numerous times over and over when i go onto youtube. how many years sis it take you to get to the proffesional stage you are at now? be hones :)

  • hehe, thanks for the nice comment;) But i am no proffesional at all.

    I started playing the piano at an age of 20. The first year i started learning notes and try to play it at the same time. After the first year i started to take lessons. So i am now 23 and almost 24. So when i was making this video i played the piano about more then 3 years.
