0:14 I will never understand why this part was changed. I just know it ruins it for me every time. Maybe it's because I spent so long listening to the versions from before the PSX era, which IIRC is where it was changed.
I guess I'm going to be the first person to actually criticize this... please don't get me wrong, I definitely appreciate the effort you put into this. 0:00-2:18 is a beautiful recreation/interpretation of the original. But everything in the middle and the very end which was completely new, feels like a separate song entirely. Imho you deviated too far from the melancholic melody of the original to the point that it's hard to see the connection. If I was shown only the middle part of this arrangement I would not have been able to tell it was based on Midna's Lament whatsoever, it's simply much too warm and too different. Not saying it's bad! But I would've preferred a more faithful interpretation. It's called Midna's *Lament* for a reason...
I’m sure at least a few others felt that way too. Though most people don’t comment feedback like this it is helpful to see areas that people don’t seem to like as much. Thanks for your feedback!
@@msarranges Thank you for taking my comment so well! The truth is, I like both parts of your arrangement on their own. But I felt they did not blend well due to the very different tones. As others have said, the middle section sounds more classical and Bach inspired, but I sincerely struggled to see its correlation to the original song which has a somber feel. That said, I am certain had they been two separate pieces, I would have had nothing but praise for them! You are clearly talented and I believe you deserve more attention on your channel for sure! Good luck on your future projects!
It’s no wonder people keep getting recommended this. It is phenomenal. I also like how it incorporates more traditional rhythms used in older symphonic pieces.
@@jonb3167I did as a kid, but it was a long time ago. I was mainly referring to specifically 2:26, where the piano has a very similar chord progression to some of the older, more traditionally known piano pieces. I am unaware if it is in the original piece, but them bringing out allows to song to flow a bit better as it turns more legato.
Oh man I made this a long time ago, so I don’t remember exactly. They were soundfonts though, this piece was made in MuseScore3 so there is a combination of internet downloadable sountfonts and the general MIDI patch. Glad you enjoyed!
