This piece gave me unique challenges on the piano because how does one arrange a metalcore music on a single piano? Sometimes, I feel like even 88 keys are not even enough. <\/p>\n<p>But before I continue, I want to ask you something: Doesn\u2019t the melody in 0:08 sound really similar to Grieg\u2019s &#8220;In the Hall of the Mountain King&#8221; theme? And not only that, the string melodies in 0:14 also reminds me of the main melody in Dvorak\u2019s \u201cFrom the new world\u201d symphony (the 4th movement). Really a crazy coincidence, since Eren himself wants to create a \u201cnew world\u201d in a way\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Some key points of this arrangement:<\/p>\n<p>\u2460 0:41 &#8220;I&#8217;M TEARLESS, I&#8217;M FEARLESS&#8221;<br \/>\nThese aggressive growling vocals found in metal music are almost impossible to replicate on the piano but I still needed these voices in order to fully replicate the original song. I think the best approach is to just create a fitting melody out of the growling vocals while keeping the rhythm. I \u201ctranslated\u201d the growling vocals into a middle voice in 0:41 for example.<\/p>\n<p> \u2461 2:04 Beethoven joins \u201cthe Rumbling\u201d<br \/>\nThis is something I rarely do in my arrangements: I reharmonized the entire bridge part of the original song and only kept the main melody intact. The reason is because no matter how hard I try, I couldn\u2019t fully replicate the sheer intensity of the hardcore metal in the bridge part with all the guitar riffs and screaming. That\u2019s why I had the idea to create an alternative chord progression in order to make the bridge part more suitable for being played on the piano. I also quoted a little bit Beethoven\u2019s \u201cAppassionata\u201d Sonata No.23 in the left hand in 2:04, because I really like these wavy movements and they sound almost \u201capocalyptic\u201d to me (plus, they are in the same F minor key)<\/p>\n<p>\u2462 2:44 \u201cIf I lose it all, slip and fall\u201d<br \/>\nI absolutely love the quiet melody before the final chorus in the original song but I wish the quiet moment of introspection could have lingered a little bit longer in the music. That\u2019s why I added an additional musical buildup in 2:59 because nothing is more satisfying than playing an insane crescendo and then finally hammer the final chorus in 3:11. <\/p>\n<p>All in all, this song is probably the \u201cheaviest\u201d arrangement I\u2019ve done in a while and I cannot wait to see the rest of Attack on Titan Final Season! With that said, thank you for reading this week\u2019s \u201cAnimenz Explains!\u201d I hope I can see you in my next video again!
