STAR WARS - "Force Theme" on Two Pianos - Anderson & Roe

[JJMDude]

Yeah sorry, but I'm gonna help give that lightsaber a handle...

This doesn't sound or feel right. I keep expecting it to feel chilling or triumphant, but all I keep hearing is a note that sounds completely wrong. It sounds less like a pianist engrossed in his art and more like someone who does NOT know how to play piano fumbling for the right keys for the melody. I'm sure that's not the case, and that time and effort was put into this version, but it just isn't working...

[michel6]

I tried to dislike this video then suddenly I took a laser beam to the knee

[GeneralVariety]

I absolutely love this arrangement, there's so much feeling and quiet to it than the more brash themes that we've all heard so many times.

[MSTRJD1]

The dislike bar isn't long enough to make a lightsaber

[Uriel333]

Please do ACROSS THE STARS..... it's so beautiful and poetic :(

[TheJackhicksisc]

oh wow... a hybrid physics and star wars joke as a top comment... what has the world come to?

[babystinky]

i don't like this interpretation at all. sorry.

[deathwatch1980]

that was inpressive realy

[mkiozipangbuu]

It's not an unique idea to recycle parts and ideas throughout movie soundtracks. John Williams did a lot of it, and the result is that the Star Wars soundtrack has a feeling of continuity to it.

[Thomazzo95]

Are those Anakin themes played while he betrayes Obi wan kenobi just before he fights him?

[Musicadmirer100]

I have enjoyed this very much. It is both an excellent performance and arrangement. Though, I am wondering, because I am not entirely sure, but i though that I heard a phrase of Anakin's Dark Deeds around 1:50 and 2:50.

[losttaker]

die frau checkts ja am anfang garnet :D

[zwgrad09]

Yoda would be proud.

[MrFalschverkabelt]

oh gott dieses synchrone umblättern :o

[popo2k3]

@MrFalschverkabelt

Fand ich auch saukrass! Das is ja 100% synchron.

[Mihatkd]

Anakin's Dark Deeds. <3

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Now that's big time: when you can have people to turn your pages for you. They must be the young apprentice thing.

[kehlek175]

That's so off >.<

[Tarlev]

I have to love the way you put "order 66" into this masterpieces.. Especially the first time you hear Roe, (if thats her name) play it.. You only hear a small part of it, and simply want more.

[Concertchoir76]

Sounded horrible together! Do it on one piano only, you ruined the music for me

[Dragonas77]

Are the you two Star Wars fans? If so, did you write this all yourself, not the origional works, the new version blending them together.

[zwgrad09]

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life.

[l00k4truth]

The question is not that human believe in magic, the question is that human beings need to believe in magic.

[messrsmoony]

@l00k4truth I think the better question is WHY do we need to believe in magic?

[l00k4truth]

@messrsmoony The answer is because our brain is made to connect two or more points. A rare noise in

the desert could mean an enemy. A big universe could mean other

civilizations. Our brain works to understand the enviroment and when there

is not a logical answer, we invent it. We don't get on well with ignorance. That's why some people believe in magic.

[phys5293]

@messrsmoony

Could as easily ask why do we need religion.

[raulp123]

Sorry but you butchered a beautiful song

[ViktorJWilliams]

Yes... the moment when he burns... Tragic... Oh, this "Force theme" is really one of the most beautiful and moving themes of the whole musical world.

[DAVIDMC101]

If you guys made this into sheet music I would just die... then come back to life and buy it.

[DAVIDMC101]

I love how into it he is at the beginning when he leans back.

[Zyberfaze11]

Hmm isnt it anakins betrayel and not anakins dark deeds ?

[pelhayek]

2:18 Turning the page AND sitting down at the same time? Someone's been practicing...

[msm019595]

And I thought I was good!

[pianoandpoker4life]

The Music composed for star wars has to be by far the greatest for any movie

John Williams i am in awe

[jebsievers]

During the video all these midichlorians started pouring out of the screen and the midichlorians started filling my office floor and my coworkers were getting pissed yet really suddenly clairvoyant and able to see their kids at school and their dogs at home sleeping it was sooo weird; then we called the septic service and had them get syphon this stuff out, they're all, "we charge extra for midichlorian drainage", which was the wrong thing to say given the Jedi onslaught we gave them afterwards.

[WanderingFilms]

@jebsievers if you were true jedi you would have resolved the matter peacefully

[antinoos2008]

peacefull and great emotion thank you very much

[Sm0uack]

Synchro the asians! ( 2:21 !) XD

[sarumokikaraotiru73]

全曲聴きたいです！！

[darthgabriel97]

lol anakins dark deeds? ;D

[JokinJoe]

That was beautiful. This brings me back to my childhood.

[JOSHGEORGE100]

I've noticed that too. U guys play great!

[animewar999]

May the force unleashed be with you!!

[radolak7811]

Beautiful. Pięknie, pięknie...

[jayce79]

I have never heard 'Light of the Force' on Piano. Love how it's mixed with some of Anakin's Prequel music. Very lovely. Great upload man. 5 stars.

[zippidy0]

Why do you create so much catharsis but refuse to let it go? It's really annoying.

[musicguy119]

I feel like I should mention that Herbert Spencer orchestrated this piece for the movie. John Williams only gave him a sketch and then Spencer had to orchestrate and arrange it for the symphony. Not taking any credit away from Williams. Just making a point. And I'm sure that all the makers of this video were trying to say is that they made the arrangement for this piece. Nothing more.

[t3b4n22]

composed by john williams

[Garother]

yes but they might have composed some parts different dunno^^

[gunsvsswords]

The Force is strong in these two....

[80Koe]

lol. :)

[MannyLama]

@gunsvsswords i think too

[ChadA1993]

@embran

They composed the arrangement; that is what they are saying. They did not compose the pieces where they got the motives, nor did they ever claim to. If you read the information bar, you'll see that they give John Williams his credit for creating these pieces.

[ForgedInStone]

May the mass times acceleration be with you. :p

[AtionYT]

the force is strong with this two )

[Chopin1986]

Amazing... great performance!!

BARVO!!!!

[FearlessSpinner]

May the force be with you!

[bauke888]

I was looking for u guys to play The Force in your own way, and hey... here we are ;)

What can I say other than 'beautiful'.

[princess73535]

I'm so glad you two did these impressions! LOVE STAR WARS!

[PuffoInformatico]

DIVINE

[kukimiyo]

i find it really funny that the page turners are in perfect sync xD

[dantheman315]

yeah really, like as if its the same page turner

[jurassicraptor111]

At 1:50 the music played there is anakin's betrayal from revenge of the sith.

[MaraPapillon]

It's beautiful but it doesn't really sound like star wars, it's only inspired

[Heavensfalcon]

This is one of those amazing songs that you grow up with, and it keeps becoming more and more embellished and beautiful. However, you both put even MORE emotion into the song than those who have rendered it after John Williams. Thanks for such a moving translation!

[omodeo17]

demaciado lindaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

[Santile]

la mejor cancion de la saga...muy bonita.

[STsilentthunder]

those pianos are big

[jackhicksisc]

steinway & sons concert model D's from what i can see.... they start at about £40,000 EACH =]

[jeremiahedwards]

Even though I am a SW fan, I was moved to tears at hearing this. I watched as each pianist felt and held each moment of the movements. That is a great accomplishment, and should not be taken lightly. I applaud the performance.

[kingredrider1]

it should be fun if you done it with victory celebration ;)

[urbania70]

If the 1st impression was virtuous, this one is moving.

Under the Force theme you put something which stays in the middle between the theme of Luke losing his uncle and aunt, and the theme of Anakin losing his mother, both on Tatooine. Suffering for losing the beloved ones as the greatest temptation to the Dark Side. The heart of Star Wars.

[Sabored]

like star wars alot?

[Giirgiirgiiir]

If you don't I hate you.

[HCB428]

hahaha...

[blahmeh242]

That was so beautiful, such passion. Arranged so well.. The way the main theme hides there, and fades in and out... love the classic to starwars notes that run up and down, it captures the 'spacey theme'... I am speechless!

[Silverlining101]

Is it me, or do I hear the good theme and the bad theme (anakin / vader) intwined or something..

[ElAurian]

so sad but so full of emotions...wonderful!

[sinnedsilly]

i'm totally ignorant about piano players but why do you have those two people sitting next to you?

[jipajappa]

They are page turners, they turn the pages in the sheet music for them.

[JacSAMA]

ignorant enough not to see what they do in the video?? Just asking.

[CleverDjembe]

They are the official judges. They have their hawk-eyes on the score and if so much as 1 note is played incorrectly, the performance is stopped and teh performers are carried off the stage into an isolation chamber.

[utube9000]

No, those are not judges. They are homeless people who hang out in that auditorium...

[coolname32]

That is so true.

If we lived about 2000 years ago?

[godsloved3]

wow are you serious? that sucks even if its an origional? how are they supposed to know if youre improvising on your own work or not?

[Haeronthegreat]

Just a note; in the description, you have this as Impression 1.

[soldier2119]

This 2nd Impression of Star Wars Fantasy (in YouTube) is different from the 2nd Impression of your website, isn't it ?

[LIANG14]

You two are really awe-inspiring. Really are...

[STAFFORDO9]

My fav star wars theme

i now love it even more!!!!!

thanks guys

[nihilo9]

brilliant.

[sharkyjay]

does anyone else hear (ankin's dark deeds) in there?

[gnanderson]

Yes!! You're the first to ever mention noticing this!

[Obsessiforge]

@gnanderson Isn't "Anakin's Dark Deeds" the "Force Theme" variation from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack?

[bostonpiano]

@gnanderson

I heard it. This is great stuff. I'm a pianist myself, and have played alot of the themes by ear over the past 30 yrs., and appreciate the arrangements going on here. These need to be recorded in a studio and mass-produced, seriously.  Great job and fantastic musicianship, both of you!

[hijackoff]

@sharkyjay

Yeah I heard this...

I'd like to see Across the Star's

[AerinEvenstar]

@sharkyjay You mean Anakin's betreyal?;)

[arshdeep125]

@sharkyjay

Well said Shark, I also have heard Anakins Dark Deeds aswell. Wonderfully composed ^_^

[bsilikepie]

@arshdeep125 and @sharkyjay I also heard Anakin's Dark Deeds too. May the force be with you all and it's such a beautiful peace thumbs up if you agree

[Postboontje]

@sharkyjay indeed :-) my god, barely noticable but defenitely there

Wonderful play though, superb!

[antoinemartins59]

@sharkyjay

it's not anakin's dark deeds, but anakin's betrayel I think ;)

[moss197]

Unreal! That sounded really great!

[filathor]

fantastic !!!

[sablelink]

Beautiful

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

I love you guys!

[slavkafilip]

I love piano but this made me cry...loved it!

[INyano]

Yea nice!

[Graumantel]

Awesome!

George Lucas didn't sue you yet? Congratulations for that as well!

Did John Williams hear it?

[pianomatteo]

if you read their bio, they actually replaced john williams for a concert series at julliard. I'm sure that they had it all cleared and okayed by john williams.

[Graumantel]

Unfortunately they can't sell the sheet music yet, due to copyright issues. Let's just hope they can overcome them soon.

[Dvd2310]

Wow!!!!

[UltimatePeterTheGame]

who are the people sat behind the both of you?

[pianiman]

page turners

[UltimatePeterTheGame]

ohhh! I see

[ThePiano1991]

Love the harmonies! Very 20th century style! Beautiful!

[bgpiper]

That was truly beautiful.

[gerardz82]

Beautiful!

[LVB1770]

Oh so lovely, Bravo! You two were born to play together!

[creidhe]

(2)

completly agree!

[aloanimalo]

[oscilis]

Haunting playing. I enjoy your videos very much.

[Lypur]

[SereneSilver]

Such wonderful music! Please keep up the great work!
