zakid's video: Serenity transcription - Final Fantasy XIV Piano Collections

small detour from Nier transcriptions (I hope to nobody's disappointment:D) - I wanted to do one track for the release of the FFXIV PC album coming out today and this seemed like the perfect candidate:) from what I know this arrangement was featured on one of the previous albums and apparently also made it to this release. with that said I don't plan on doing more transcriptions from this album. I think this has a better chance of getting official score release then the Nier one, also the soundtrack doesn't resonate that well with me for now as I am totally unfamiliar with the game:) about the piece itself, it is definitely unlike most video game music. it is very 'progressive' in a sense that it takes you through few different musical ideas one after the other, which is something I enjoy in music in general. so it is a nice change from standard VGM melody A-melody B-loop forever. it is quite a complex piece of music too, almost every section has some major shift is rhythm/tonality. There is a section written in what appears to be some sort of lydian b7 scale, there is the almost atonal section with right hand tremolos. but it all comes together nicely in the end, wrapped up in this pretty (or 'serene' you could say:) ) opening theme. EDIT (07.03): as it was pointed out in the comments, this is actually a medley of various themes, which explains a lot I guess :D A shoutout is owed to /u/scardie from reddit for some tips in transcribing the E/G parts - I hope I made on ok use of them :D Sheets: https://www.mediafire.com/file/99e2g22ct82xcc8/Serenity_-_Full_Score.pdf/file If you found any of my work useful and would like to show some support, I accept donations via Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/themrzakid
