Zelda Twilight Princess: Midna’s Lament (Extended) Piano

After many, many request. I finally got to covering this iconic, yet tricky tune. More zelda tunes to come! Also this is a special 3-way round of VERSUS, a series where I battle against another pianist/arranger to see whose cover reigns supreme.

The left hand passagework is not pianistic, forcing you to switch hand position or otherwise be creative in how you navigate the 8th note runs. On top of that the left hand needs to sound smooth/controlled and natural while doing all those hand position changes and not missing a note. You can see where I lost concentration here (1:30) The track was equally tricky to arrange. I’ve been working on this in the background for the past couple months and the arrangement only finalized in the last couple days. It was hard time coming up with ways to develop the theme, while staying true to the original. Many sections slowly evolved or were scrapped in the process of arranging this tune. I even originally had a whole major section featuring Zelda’s lullaby. I knew I wanted to play through the theme fully, fairly intact, before adding different harmonies and stuff. I tried to be very tactful about varying the left hand accompaniment as the track goes on, to create some variety without straying from the original too much. In the second half, I experimented with harmony and texture, trying to keep to the somber mood, before looping back to the start. Overall a little different than my usual style and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
