  • I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS SONG!! THANK YOU!!

  • David Lanz - Cristofori's Dream

    Album:Narada Showcase Collection

  • im 16 and struggle with slow songs like this. i can play dark horse almost flawlessy, but in cant play slow songs... but this sounds great, i love it

  • The song is by david lanz

  • i love this song i grew up listening to it took me awhile to find out the name cause i only knew the tune but it brings up lots of memories of my parents glad someone on youtube has a good version most on here suck but this one is really good

  • the song is by David Lanz.

  • the song is by David Lanz

  • I do have a question, why does the song not completely finish before the video ends?

  • Last I checked, the song is actually 6:10. You're only missing about 32 seconds, even if it is a beautiful song. @missmusicalangel

  • was doing a search and saw this youtube post and knew immediately this was Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz. LOVE this artist, as well as David Arkenstone. Most of their music find their way into movies of all sorts, but rarely mainstream. Some folks wonder why; but just listen to it!!

    their gifts are WAY too special for mainstream, like finding that perfect diamond in a vast field of coal. THE most sought after opal in all Australia.

    leaves me breathless..............

  • This is Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz :P

  • lol Jim Brickman, it's like the thousands of people claiming that Requiem for a dream was written by Mozart instead of Clint Mansell...

  • I listened to this song over 20 years ago, my son was three when he listened to it over and over again, he became an amazing musician to this day, he is 23,believe this song is a link to his music career. Just a mom. Joeys mom.

  • The copy of the sheet music that I have is in a collection book. It's like 50 New Age Songs. I will post the actual name of the book later today, I just don't have it with me right now. It has a purple cover though, I know that. Even if you have only heard of this song in the book, it's worth it because the rest of the songs are amazing as well.

  • so simple and yet so beautiful ! amazing...

  • One of the books that has it is called Narada, and it has a bunch of different songs by David Lanz.

  • If you like this type of music I have 3 of my songs posted and would welcome the feedback just put crazykeyman in the search and the first 3 songs that come up are mine.

  • you are missing some of the ending! :(

  • its by david lanz, if you want sheet mmusic buy the narada collection its really cheap

  • Is it me or is every song I listen to on piano sound so depressing even if not intentionally but I mean this song is sooooo nice and and nice ^^

  • Only if you take it there.

  • Music is a highly subjective and interpretational art unlike painting and ceramics which usually are meant to be viewed one way. Music is different to each person who listens to it. If all the songs you hear are depressing, you're most likely a pessimistic person. I'm a little bit of both optimistic and pessimistic. The songs I write are usually based on a depressing subject, but looking towards the future hoping for a better tomorrow. To each his own I guess.

  • @mauiboynokaoi I think quite a few painters would disagree with you on that, alot of abstract paintings and post-modernist paintings can be interpreted dozens of ways.

  • @mauiboynokaoi As a visual artist, I disagree with your statement that things like painting and ceramics can only be taken one way. Within both music and fine art, artists do generally have an idea of what significance the piece has, but this doesn't prohibit anyone from their own take on it. Art is usually intended to have an impact on its viewers or listeners.

  • Cognitive dissonance is a hard thing to deal with. Learn to respect others as they try to sift out everything.

  • It's rather late as I read your message, so my IQ has dropped below dead log level. Where does cognitive dissonance appear in the video/comments?

    :-S

  • I tihnk he meant the CS of others.

    Regardless, i love the song.

  • Beautiful! Youtube :Stefano Ottomano

  • it's a very nice song, i try to learn t, David Lanz is a very good artist =)

  • I love this piano song. :)

  • correction...david lanz - cristofori's dream

  • Holy cow. Please, read the title of this video, the ~many~ comments before yours, AND read the video description. I'm getting so tired of people doing that.

    This is tempting me to disable comments, but I'd really rather not, as it's good to hear people's opinions on this piece.

    Grrr..

  • doesnt really matter, just ignore the comments dude... be chill...

  • Beau )

  • Simple, beautiful; yet, somewhat haunting...

    Saw him in Christmas Concert in MKE, WI about 1993. Did the MOST amazing rendition of the Nutcracker. Finding it online eludes me to this day....

  • Hace mas de 10 años conoci esta cancion y desde entonces me enamore de ella. Despues de 8 años volvi a escucharla y ahora kiero ke mi hijita la ame tanto como yo =)

  • I've found the music sheet. It wasn't easy :)

    If you want it, send me a message with your email adress.

  • David Lanz is the person who wrote it. I found the sheet music by a google search. I had to buy the whole book of David Lanz's songs in it. Hope this helps.

  • maybe he change the name after he load it up?

    ;-)

  • this sounds nothing like jim brickmans work david lanz and jim brickman have two completely different styles and can easily be told apart if you are true fan of piano as a pianist i can tell the difference between the two

  • absoulutly love this song. so relaxing...

  • sound of beauty

  • I'm surprised people are comparing it to Jim B. To me, with the swells and such it's more Yanni-esque.

  • Matsui-esque.

  • cristoforis dream

  • Very beautiful. I love it so much!

  • This song is beautiful ...

  • David Lanz is the artist and I ordered the music book Solos for New Age Piano. Great book with many of his most loved songs.

  • Its Done by David Lanz. you can get it at any place you buy sheet music. All you jackasses who keep saying its Jim Brickman doesn't know Jim Brickman's music obviously

  • .....

    Title.

  • aaaaahhh, what a kind of music! Incredibile, assolutamente incredibile, per fortuna abbiama artiste come lanz^^

  • This song isn't very hard to play by ear. It's pretty simple, if you break it down.

  • @xraynexfanx every song is easier if you break it down =) (just being a wise ass don't mind me) And yes I have to agree with you :)

  • Its obviously Jim Brickman - mood music!

    I joke i joke, please dont crucify me : ( haha

    Very very nice piece though : )

  • 5/5 for sense of humour, haha!

    I just realized that youtube somehow cut off the last, maybe 8, seconds of the piece. It sort of just... cuts off..

  • Good question, hehe.

  • For the description:

    If they don't read the title, will they read the descript?

    Anyways, I love this song.

  • Puts me into a trance everytime i listen to it..great song

  • =( lol i wanna be able to make a song as beautiful as this.. lol This song is what inspired me to play piano =D i made two songs, although i don't think they compare in anyway to what David Lanz does lol Thanks for putting the vid ^_^ and i'de like sheet music too O.o if its not a trouble lol

  • hey queeniedi, it would be A BLESSING if you could email me the sheet music. i really wanna play this song, been playin piano for 10 years, its one of my passions

    id really appreciate it!

  • I can email it to you. Contact me.

  • hey, can you send me the sheets too it would make my day =D (cristofori´s dream)

  • if there's any way i can get a copy of that, that'd be awesome. :)

  • wow guys you can find the sheet music at your local music store, the book is called "New Age Piano Solos David Lanz Solos for New Age Piano"

  • lol my local music store closed =( lol but thanks for the name, i guess i'll keep a look out for it...

  • All I'm trying to do here is be a complete jerk, and here you are, totally ruining it. Have some consideration for others, why don't you... Canadians.... sheesh....

  • I ruin everything, heh. It's like I have the Midas touch of garbage....

  • I kid because i care. great song, btw!

  • I stand by my comment. Even more so, now....

  • Oh well. I still think you're wrong. I don't think it's necessary for you to suggest that I quit the internet. You came to this page to watch the video and listen to this wonderful piece.

    I'd prefer if you directed your seemingly constructive criticism towards the video, and not towards such a trivial matter as something like what I think.

    Leave it at that.

  • Dude, if you're "rather appalled" by someone who didn't know what they were talking about telling you that you don't know what you're talking about, maybe the internet isn't for you...

  • I can't help but want to tell you how ridiculous your statement is. If you had read the messages I had received, maybe you'd not have said that. Wouldn't you be appalled if someone who you've never met in your life just walked up to you and called you a "***king retard"? Quite frankly, I suggest you consider the circumstances of events and people's situations before judging them.

  • this song reminds me of someone I once deeply loved...

  • I know Mr. Lanz calls this Christofori's Dream but it makes me think of "Dreams of a Child." I listen to it over and over and wish I knew how to play. It makes me want to play it.

  • i have got the sheet of music for this. i could send it to you if you want me to.

  • My laptop has been down for a while so i didnt see this post. I have been searching FOREVER and can't find sheet music. Do you think maybe you could send it to me too?

  • sounds like something from final fantasty :D it truely is a beautiful melody

  • =) really pretty i wanna learn how play it like he does...but it wouldnt sound as good though =( oh well

  • love this!

    it's so... words can't describe this.

    Sophiie1901, i agree totally with you. everytime i hear this song i almost cry.

    it's amazing!

  • This song is so beautiful, it makes me think about things, i never thought about... i love this song,..^^

    <3

  • This sounds SO similar to moonlight sonata :)

    Great piece though.

  • Love this song, reminds me of my sister.

  • This is what I can call a perfect song, Everytime I listen to it My mind goes into such a fantasy little world, as if David is controlling my mind with the notes he plays.

    Love (:

  • I agree with mvssysprog... So moving.. thank you for posting this.. I appreciate it very much.. I always find piece of mind listening to this song.. Again.. Thank you..

  • This is one of my favorite piano melodies. Peaceful, calm, and utterly beautiful. It is haunting, powerful, and causes me to pause what I am doing whenever I hear it.

  • That's funny that people think this is Jim Brickman..... anyone who has any appreciation for New Age piano knows that David Lanz and Jim Brickman have a completely different style from each other.... (Not to mention a completely different record label :) ) But I love them both, so it's all good...

  • Thank you so much...

    5*

  • is from david lanz hahaha just kidding great song dude!!!

  • It's my favorite song !

  • As noted, this is one of the greatest piano piece of our time.

  • cool

  • excellent theme!

  • Thank you very much for posting where to find this sheet music. I have wanted it (along with his version of Canon in D and A Whiter Shade of Pale) for over a decade and did not know where to find it. I give you a virtual hug of thanks! Happy New Year to you and yours!

  • Song: Cristofori's Dream

    Artist: David Lanz

    Sheet Music: Sheet Music Plus [.com]

  • Hey dude to who posted this vid:

    Remove this vid would just make everyone happy because there are so many people dissing this song and pianist.

  • Well, I could always do that, but it seems rather unnecessary. This music has more positive feedback than negative, after all.

    I wouldn't like to let the people who hold dislike of this music be grounds enough for me to have to remove it.

  • Fair enough...How about removing some of the nasty comments?

  • I could do that too, but I like to leave them up as an example with a more [insightful and pleasant] response of my own.

    If a year later, that person sees their nasty comment, they suddenly think "Wow.. I said that.. oops"

  • 2 things:

    1 - Thank you for posting this;

    2 - AMEN! Let the "dissers" read their own credentials of stupidity later.

    Again - thank you!

  • True that, man.

  • BELLISSIMA!!!...DA PERDERSI!

  • you must download the midi and import in guitar pro 5 and export tab XD

  • As soon as i heard this song i fell in love with it...i knew i had to learn how to play it, and now i can! LOVE IT

  • i want this song played at my funeral.

  • lol me 2

  • it's called cristofori's dream and it's by Sir David Lanz who is an extremely talented new-age pianist.

  • Grr, this is becoming excessively agitating.

    Corrections:

    1. This is -not- Jim Brickman.

    2. This piece is -not- called mood music. You just downloaded that from Limewire. It's false.

    Please refer to the video description.

  • ROFL I just have to comment on the tags.

    "Piano Not Jim Brickman"

    Thanks for the giggle lol

  • WHATS THE NAME OF THIS SONG? ITS WRONG

  • First, please don't use capitals, or else it's hard for people to take you seriously. Second, the name of this song is, indeed, correct.

  • if you send me an e-mail i can send it to you. it is copyrighted, but i found it in a web page after weeks of looking

  • Bwahhhh!!! No sheets found in any library in my town.....

    Can someone send me a link to where I can get them?

    Would be forever grateful.... I mean it!!!

  • i am making a metal remake of this song ;)

  • K, you just -have- to let me hear it!

    I wonder how that would sound, hehe.

  • Please let me know when ye are finished will ya?

    Would like to hear it so long that you do it well. ;D

  • this is a pretty song. i just found the sheet music to it at the library :D uber-happiness.

  • SAD...SO VERY SAD..JUST LIKE ME...

  • Ouch.....

    :3

  • omg, this is so..awesome..♥

  • If you do not have a book where you can get the sheet music, I do have that book and I can tell you what it's called.

  • Wow, that would be great! Are there are other pieces of his work in there?

    Right now I do have the music sheet for this piece, but I have yet to actually find an entire book of his pieces.

  • It's just a large collection of new age. Narada is what the book is called. A New Age Sampler.

  • so you can get a book of his music? like how many songs in it? and how much do you think it would cost. this song is so great! just want to try and play it :)

  • you have the sheet of this? is there any way of you emailing it to me by chance? id love to get it!

  • Go to sheet music plus (dot) com and search for Solos For New Age Piano by David Lanz. It is 16.95 and has this song and many other great David Lanz songs. I have this book and I love it.

  • awesome ill give it a shot, thanks!

  • It is by David Lanz. All his work is of this quality. Enjoy...
