Lol about 2 years ago it was kinda sad of me but I was so desperate to learn this that I print screened the video and joined the parts together and it was really blurry but I'm glad there's a link to it now xD thanks for this
This is so amazing - took me ages to find, I absolutely loved the Anime this accompanies.
If I could Read Music i'd learn to play it!
@ Cryssysocool - Was it the Links on the right or the this line from the comments 'Lilium is the opening theme song from the anime Elfen Lied' - that gave it away? ^_-
This music is just amazing. It's almost as if I can feel the emotion played in every note. This coming from a thirteen year old. A comment that you posted on another video interested me enough to find a video u posted in delighted to have found this.
Enjoyed this piece so much, I'm rehearsing for my piano class recital. Loved your arrangement. It has all the challenges I need to improve as a pianist, in a song I have a strong desire to play!
Thank you for this amazing score! I have been practicing this score for a month now, and I can play it really good! But not as good as you, I will keep trying harder!
whoa great arrangement, best I i've seen and heard, thanks alot! I can play this piece on guitar but it didn't satisfy me, but this.. amazing, gonna practice it on my piano and won't stop till I've got it down :D
i want to play my organ keyboard but i dont know the major keys and o ther keys is there a free website for learning the keys help please i want to learn but i can teach my self sooooo disapointing thx.. BTW ur lilium version is awesome and touching in the heart
wow, i gotta say i've looked through a lot of websites to find sheets like these, that just capture the essence of the actual arrangement. I almost settled for the sheets in josh's anime sheet collection but came across this beauty. you sir/ma'am were born winning.
Flawless melody, it's gorgeous. However, the B (or mid) section seemed needless and somewhat confusing to the A section; I think that section should have built on the second phrase in measures 9-11. the recapitulation of the opening theme could have also had a staccato effect followed by a change in key with 16th note sostenuto to create a sense of urgency to the dreamy melancholy. oh yeah, i think a coda would have been helpful from preventing the abrupt ending.
@hybridfox Thanks! Very valid feedback. As a composer, I am all for further development, however, it is necessary to note that this work is actually an arrangement of an existing work by another composer. So the goal of this arrangement (as with all of my other arrangements) was to capture as much of the original as possible and feasible. The original piece is scored for soprano, strings, and piano.
@zeryx28 No problem! As a fellow composer I also am for development, and would incorporate my suggestions if I were to do a personal interpretation or perhaps variations on this song. I suppose you can say the beautiful melody inspired me :-). But, I totally get what you mean about capturing the original intentions of the composer, and in that sense I think you did a marvelous job!
You would like to record yourself in a video singing Lilium with the audio in this video as a backtrack? And you would like to give me credit by mentioning my name? Is that correct?
If that's the case, thanks for choosing my arrangement. Though, the audio in this video is quite low-quality as it is produced simply using MIDI. I would prefer you use the MP3 on my website, whose URL you can find in the video description. Thanks.
@zeryx28 thank you so much for the sheet music! would you mind check me playing your version? im having a tough time using the pedal to connect the notes well, so im kinda messing the melody (the melody itself isnt popping out loud and clear)... if you could gimme a couple of hints to correct that, id appreciate! btw, i cant play it in one take yet, so i had to edit the video hehe thanks again!

Beautiful arrangement. . . I've played your "Berceuse" piano arrangement and am now learning this one. I love this arrangement! Especially the first few measures and measures 9&10. . .
Question if they showed Elfen Lied in a non censored version on Disney Channel or some other childrens channel in best prime time (let´s say instead of Hanna Montana or something like that) How many episodes would it run before angry overprotective parents would pester disney channel enough to shut it down?
I would say one episode AT BEST i really doubt it would get any further then the trailers.
which is a pity if you can get past the nudity and violence Elfen Lied has a great story.
Yep, it wouldn't make it past the trailers. . . people would rather be stupefied by the saturation of shows like "Hanna Montana" or any of the other pre-teen garbage that is showcased on today's television. . .
@Erikjust honestly i never even got why showing nudity and violence on tv is a bad thing, its not like if kids were to watch it they'd go running around naked telekineticaly ripping people to shreds

But for furture reference, to access the PDF files I have uploaded, please visit my website and click on the "work" section. The downloads are arranged in a table.
Thank you so very much for the arrangement. I've been learning this for a while and even though I haven't been able to learn the triplets part (basically after the two lines of measures that are repeated at first) I'm glad you've made it. It's proving to be a challenge which is nice for the intermediate pianist.
@Bigelavar Well, there is no "English name" for the anime as the original name of the series is "Elfen lied" which happens to be German. The country of origin of the anime would be Japan and I imagine the title represented in Japan is a phonetic translation of "Elfen lied."
An English alternative name would be "Elf Song" because "Elfen Lied" is derived from "Elfenlied" which is the correct spelling in German, both meaning "Elf Song". Spelling it as two words just makes it either for non German folks to understand easier.
However English(especially American English) is crazy as it is, it doesn't really matter if you use the English or German version. We use every word from any language and mashed them into our sentences as we see fit :)
i don't get how to play this at all. the notes are all confusing and much different from my tenor sax notes. there's like notes from the left hand that go near the bottom of the right hand? And the left hand sounds completely different from the video cause i know it's a Csharp and Asharp, but in the video it doesnt sound the same.
@zeryx28 Okay i found it out. My tenor sax notes as in like the sheet music i can barely read for the tenor sax. I found out that Esharp = F and Bsharp = C... so yeah... thanks for the help anyway! I was confused because in Sax, you only have treble clef, and not bass clef. And when i started to try to read bass clef, i read it the exact same way as treble, giving me the wrong notes! Now i just gotta work on timing, and which fingers play which.
I want to download this, exactly how it sounds here; but I can't find it anywhere. I can't find one that sounds as rich as this, if you know what I mean. I don't know how else I could explain this sound other than rich and more sophisticated.
absolutely beautiful.... the piano is great and not to mention this is actually a latin chant or prayer! ... thanks for the upload and great job on your performance .... heh i guess these types of anime really are one of the few to have great soundtracks and stories .... now i love elfen lied, along with gunslinger girl!!
@darkphantom213 Thanks. This is one of the few anime theme songs that stand out to me because it resonates so much with art music. Glad you enjoyed my work. :)
First let me thank you for posting the music sheet ^^ Your transcription of Lilium is just AWESOME! ^^
I having some problems with the part from 0:48 to 0:57 ... I don't why... it sounds different from what I hear you playing.... did you do some kind of improv while recording the song? Or did you really play exactly what's displayed on the music sheet?
@sucrilhus Thanks. Glad to know my work is useful to others. Hmm that's strange, I'm pretty sure I was playing it as I had arranged it. Could you describe to me in words what it is that sounded different? Cheers.
Oh.... I think I found the problem... I was using a software that reads PDF musicsheets and turn them into MIDI files... but it seems that it didn't read this part right.... it wasn't able to read the ties and neither those eighth mergings between the right and the left hand..... so it sounded a lot different from what I heard you playing...
I guess I'll have to go note by note myself ^^ haha... dang... it will take forever ... I'm incredibly slow reading music sheets....
Gorgeous! Some of the harmonies don't really sound great to me so I might tweak this a tad when I play it but I'm looking forward to learning this! Thanks for the hard work!
I think transcribing and notating does reflect on one's character - in this case, polished and well presented. If I may ask, what music program were you using?
Even I learn piano for almost 10 yrs, but still, I'm not good. And your website is really nice, how I wish I could donate, but I'm still a high sch student. I'll definitely donate after I can earn my own income, so don't go away...XD
And you are so talented, and handsome>.<, makes me feel 'whoa I must keep track on your updates' haha...XD
@jaylala00 Wow. Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. Don't worry about not being able to donate. My goal of my work here on YouTube isn't to make money, but rather to spread the joy of learning music that is otherwise not available. Cheers.
@ex2cliff Did you mean to ask if you could play this on the piano at a school function? If yes, by all means, please feel free to do so. Thanks for spreading the word of this wonderful art song. :)
@Ayako1997 To answer your question, no, I have not arranged for piano an alternative version of Lilium of lesser difficulty (if that is in fact what you were asking about). How long have you been playing piano? In my experience with meeting other pianists, I find that age and playing maturity can be mutually exclusive. :)
@Ayako1997 If your looking for sheets with an easier version of this song, then just go to a different video, there's plenty on youtube, which are less difficult.
@Ayako1997 Oh I see. Yes, this arrangement may be too difficult for someone with 4 or 5 years of experience. I would suggest searching for "Lilium piano pdf" on Google. Hope you find an arrangement that is suitable for you. :)
@zeryx28 What you talkin about willis I've been playing for a year and a half and I'm getting it down. No piano song is that hard to learn if you practice it.
@zeryx28 What you talkin about willis I've been playing for a year and a half and I'm getting it down. No piano song is that hard to learn if you practice it. Also thx for the sheet music :3
It makes me wish I had the patience and dedication it takes to learn to play piano...since I have neither, I'll just enjoy when others play and praise them for a job well done. Which brings me to my next point...great job!
@crazydandan thats what i thought at first too!....just practice it and yu can get it..even now that i know the song by memory, it/s still preety complicated to play
@PSNDemonwing Haha, no worries. People refer to pieces of music as songs all the time (but not vice versa, strangely). :P I'm not too picky on the terminology. But yes, you are right, I agree that it was tricky for me to learn too, even though I arranged the thing. I did try my best to make the arrangement as idiomatic as possible, which is always challenging, but fun.
@zeryx28 very true....i believe your composition raised my piano skills quite a bit... thanks a bunch... hope you continue to make awesome compositions of rare songs so that i can learn them:]
@tsuki9898 The score you see represented in this video is an original arrangement composed by myself. You can find the score on my website under the 'work" section. Please see the video description for the link. Enjoy.
How many octaves does this cover? I'm sadly having to use my old 5 1/2 octave keyboard to play and practice on as my piano's in surgery. i hope i won't have to condense the song too much.
hello i want to know if i could use this song to perform it in my piano class' next recital?....i love this song and i already have half of the song down.....oh and by the way don't make a tutorial!!! cuz i believe reading music is better:]....thats the way im learning this song by the way:]
@PSNDemonwing Please do. I hope your recital goes well.
Coming from a classical music background, I agree that music notation is the better way to learn music. Piano tutorials instruct a pianist how to depress keys, but sheet music gives music so much more meaning in its phrasing and articulation and voice delineation. It helps you breathe life into a musical composition that has been laid out on paper.
@LinaZel I'm sorry, I still don't understand, but I think I sort of have an idea. Correct me if I am wrong, but do you mean you want to record a video of yourself singing Lilium using the audio from this video as a back track? If that is the case, I can send you a better quality version of the audio that uses samples, as this was an old slide show I had compiled using just a MIDI file. Let me know if that interests you.
@cinwb Thanks. I actually advise against learning using piano tutorials as they do not help in the long run. On the other hand, by learning to read music notation, you can get much more out of the experience. Music notation isn't simply a list of instructions on which keys to depress at the keyboard. It also contains phrase marks, and musical directives that communicate with the pianist to help him express emotion while playing. I hope that was insightful in some way. Thanks for your comment. :)
I believe this is THE BEST composition of "Lilium"........it has every part so well. :)......i have seen videos of people playing a composition that they made but their compositions lacked many parts......this composition didnt lack anything:).... i cant wait to learn this song and play it in my school's recital:)
Hello, I am a very young (14) composer, writing since twelve, and I love your music, especially your "Nokia Fugue". I was wondering if you have any advice for any of my music I've written. If you help me out, I will put you in my scores as "co-writer".

@i6o4 Hi, your message was a bit confusing, but I will try to answer your questions. By the way, what do you mean by your "tenor sax notes"?
>> there's like notes from the left hand that go near the bottom of the right hand?
Yes ... and?
>> And the left hand sounds completely different from the video cause i know it's a Csharp and Asharp, but in the video it doesnt sound the same.
The first two notes in the left hand are actually E sharp and C sharp as they are written in the bass clef.

@zeryx28 Okay i found it out. My tenor sax notes as in like the sheet music i can barely read for the tenor sax. I found out that Esharp = F and Bsharp = C... so yeah... thanks for the help anyway! I was confused because in Sax, you only have treble clef, and not bass clef. And when i started to try to read bass clef, i read it the exact same way as treble, giving me the wrong notes! Now i just gotta work on timing, and which fingers play which.

I want to download this, exactly how it sounds here; but I can't find it anywhere. I can't find one that sounds as rich as this, if you know what I mean. I don't know how else I could explain this sound other than rich and more sophisticated.

Hi Zeryx28,
First let me thank you for posting the music sheet ^^ Your transcription of Lilium is just AWESOME! ^^
I having some problems with the part from 0:48 to 0:57 ... I don't why... it sounds different from what I hear you playing.... did you do some kind of improv while recording the song? Or did you really play exactly what's displayed on the music sheet?
Thanks in advance ^^
sucrilhus 1 year ago
@sucrilhus Thanks. Glad to know my work is useful to others. Hmm that's strange, I'm pretty sure I was playing it as I had arranged it. Could you describe to me in words what it is that sounded different? Cheers.
zeryx28 1 year ago
@zeryx28
Oh.... I think I found the problem... I was using a software that reads PDF musicsheets and turn them into MIDI files... but it seems that it didn't read this part right.... it wasn't able to read the ties and neither those eighth mergings between the right and the left hand..... so it sounded a lot different from what I heard you playing...
I guess I'll have to go note by note myself ^^ haha... dang... it will take forever ... I'm incredibly slow reading music sheets....

I think transcribing and notating does reflect on one's character - in this case, polished and well presented. If I may ask, what music program were you using?

Ayako1997 1 year ago
@Ayako1997 To answer your question, no, I have not arranged for piano an alternative version of Lilium of lesser difficulty (if that is in fact what you were asking about). How long have you been playing piano? In my experience with meeting other pianists, I find that age and playing maturity can be mutually exclusive. :)
zeryx28 1 year ago
@zeryx28 ok, I'm 12 and i've been playing for about 4/5 years...´and yes, I aked if you had a sheet with that music but not so difficult... thanks
Ayako1997 1 year ago
@Ayako1997 If your looking for sheets with an easier version of this song, then just go to a different video, there's plenty on youtube, which are less difficult.

@Ayako1997 Oh I see. Yes, this arrangement may be too difficult for someone with 4 or 5 years of experience. I would suggest searching for "Lilium piano pdf" on Google. Hope you find an arrangement that is suitable for you. :)

@PSNDemonwing Haha, no worries. People refer to pieces of music as songs all the time (but not vice versa, strangely). :P I'm not too picky on the terminology. But yes, you are right, I agree that it was tricky for me to learn too, even though I arranged the thing. I did try my best to make the arrangement as idiomatic as possible, which is always challenging, but fun.

How many octaves does this cover? I'm sadly having to use my old 5 1/2 octave keyboard to play and practice on as my piano's in surgery. i hope i won't have to condense the song too much.

hello i want to know if i could use this song to perform it in my piano class' next recital?....i love this song and i already have half of the song down.....oh and by the way don't make a tutorial!!! cuz i believe reading music is better:]....thats the way im learning this song by the way:]
PSNDemonwing 1 year ago
@PSNDemonwing Please do. I hope your recital goes well.
Coming from a classical music background, I agree that music notation is the better way to learn music. Piano tutorials instruct a pianist how to depress keys, but sheet music gives music so much more meaning in its phrasing and articulation and voice delineation. It helps you breathe life into a musical composition that has been laid out on paper.

LinaZel 1 year ago
@LinaZel I'm sorry, I still don't understand, but I think I sort of have an idea. Correct me if I am wrong, but do you mean you want to record a video of yourself singing Lilium using the audio from this video as a back track? If that is the case, I can send you a better quality version of the audio that uses samples, as this was an old slide show I had compiled using just a MIDI file. Let me know if that interests you.
zeryx28 1 year ago
@zeryx28 Yes, you´re right ! That was what I meant. It would be great If you could send me a better quality version and sorry for my bad english!

awesome! why dont u make a tutorial? would be great!
cinwb 1 year ago
@cinwb Thanks. I actually advise against learning using piano tutorials as they do not help in the long run. On the other hand, by learning to read music notation, you can get much more out of the experience. Music notation isn't simply a list of instructions on which keys to depress at the keyboard. It also contains phrase marks, and musical directives that communicate with the pianist to help him express emotion while playing. I hope that was insightful in some way. Thanks for your comment. :)
zeryx28 1 year ago
I believe this is THE BEST composition of "Lilium"........it has every part so well. :)......i have seen videos of people playing a composition that they made but their compositions lacked many parts......this composition didnt lack anything:).... i cant wait to learn this song and play it in my school's recital:)
