Some people get criticized for playing like this because they aren’t “on rhythm”. It just doesn’t sound natural without the life given by proper musicians
Exactly. A lot of piano players on RU-vid play with no feeling as if they don’t care about the beautiful piece they’re playing. It’s as if they’re going by the numbers. Hearing one who plays with their soul is sadly a rarity.
Everyone's talking about Hellfire, and rightfully so, but can I say that your rendition of Heaven's Light is so beautiful? It's making me appreciate the musical excellence of such a soft and sweet song, thank you for this :')
Agreed in every way i started playing piano 2 yrs ago ..and when u first learned this song ive played it twice a week since...ybe most amazing peice of music lyrically as well...ahh i cannot tell u enough what it means to me the duality of the peices ...the light and sadness of the first and the darkness and lust of hellfire prob my favorite...they outdid themselves on this movies music...the best by far ..its beyond disney music ..love this book of songs..u play it beautifully...
I totally agree with your caption. I listen to or sing this song (in a female key) almost daily and it never stops making me feel - my heart wells up with emotion and I cry almost every time because of the pureness and beauty in it and then the contrast of darkness in the song that follows. 🥺
So many times out here I've watched a happy pair of lovers walking in the night They had a kind of glow around them It almost looked like heaven's light I knew I'd never know that warm and loving glow Though I might wish with all my might No face as hideous as my face Was ever meant for heaven's light But suddenly an angel has smiled at me And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright I dare to dream that she might even care for me And as I ring these bells tonight My cold dark tower seems so bright I swear it must be Heaven's light Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud (Et tibit Pater) Beata Maria, you know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd (Quia peccavi nimis) Then tell me, Maria, why I see her dancing there? Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul (Cogitatione) I feel her, I see her, the sun caught in raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control (Verbo et opere) Like fire, Hellfire This fire in my skin This burning desire Is turning me to sin It's not my fault I'm not to blame (Mea culpa) It is the gypsy girl The witch who sent this flame (Mea maxima culpa) It's not my fault (Mea culpa) If in God's plan (Mea culpa) He made the devil so much Stronger than a man (Mea maxima culpa) Protect me, Maria Don't let this siren cast her spell Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone Destroy Esmeralda And let her taste the fires of hell Or else let her be mine and mine alone Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped What? No longer in the cathedral, she's gone But how? Never mind, get out, you idiot I'll find her, I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris Hellfire, dark fire Now gypsy, it's your turn Choose me or your pyre Be mine or you will burn Lord, have mercy on her (Kyrie Eleison) God, have mercy on me (Kyrie Eleison) But she will be mine Or she will burn...
THIS IS SO GOODDDD 🎶LIKE FIRE HELL FIRE THIS FIRE IN MY SOUL🎶 ITS AMAZING I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND SONG AND VILLAIN ALL SO MUCHHH LIKE I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN
Would love to learn how to play that with my one hand. I have a new Piano, learned how to play half of the music scores way before any Recording features. Since I have had my new piano. It is slowly coming back to me. Adapt is my motto. Anyhow Heavens Light/Hellfiee but also the Bells of Notre Dame would be fantastic.
This seems to have a few more bits in than the official piano and vocal book I have. Did you improvise these yourself? E.g. the little trill when the guard walks in?
