We, The Piano Guys are very proud of our home, Southern Utah, and its desert beauty. Filmed in Southern Utah's Color Country--in locations such as Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, and Kolob Mountain--this short video captures the unique desert landscape of our area. This film also features the Yamaha Disklavier, which we placed in a scenic meadow on Kolob Mountain at sunset. Both the song and video are by Shaye Scott of The Piano Guys. If you enjoy the music, please show your support by downloading the song, "Desert Symphony," on iTunes.

Every sound you hear was created by Steve playing his acoustic cellos (with one exception -- a subtle "hi-hat" noise made by his voice).
The Cello Song is based on one of the most recognizable classical pieces ever written, J.S. Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1: Prelude. (Hint: Say Bach's title with an English accent and it sounds a lot better). It's been featured in a lot of movies (and car commercials)...Steven Sharp Nelson decided that this piece needed some accompaniment (Bach must have been busy and never got around to it? :) Adding some original material and 7 more cello parts stacked on top of each other, Steve has created a cool new sound that embellishes all the features that have made Bach's work so popular. The 7 new parts include drawn-out melodies which soar above fast arpeggios, strumming chords from a guitar-like part, shaker sounds (accomplished by rubbing the sides of the cello), tremolo (1:08-1:24), and a cello-banging percussion part (complete with kick drum).
"Bach was an amazing composer -- one of the best that ever lived. He wasn't the greatest with titles though (smile)... As a consequence, no one can ever remember his Cello Suite's name...so when I'm asked to perform his piece people always say, 'hey, can you play that ... um ... that cello song?' And so in Bach's honor I name this adaptation of his amazing composition after what it has been naturally called for hundreds of years. Thanks for listening!" -Steven Sharp Nelson
You may know Steve from his work with the amazing Pianist Jon Schmidt on tunes such as "Michael Meets Mozart" and "Love Story Meets Viva La Vida." Please check out those videos and visit Jon Schmidt's site: www.jonschmidt.com

For Sheet Music to Moonlight, go here:
http://www.steven...
Moonlight was inspired by the great composer Ludwig Van Beethoven and his masterpiece "Moonlight Sonata," written for piano. It was written for piano, of course, because the electric cello had yet to be invented...
I used both of my 5-string electric cellos (one tuned extra high and one extra low) and the acoustic cellos to give this piece a unique feel and a high level of emotion.
I used another melody from Beethoven -- try and guess what it is (guess before you scroll down to the credits where it is listed!) It starts at 1:21 and reoccurs throughout the tune. This melody happened spontaneous in the studio and saved the tune from a bad case of writer's block.
Sheet music and minus track coming soon.
