Hollow Knight: Symphonic Suite | Orchestral Cover 

10:58 is Soul Master, and 15:53 is the music that plays during the "Dream No More" ending cutscene :D

S zapk a thank you very much)

The song isn't Decissive Battle, it's the False Knight's

also at 19:23, the main theme "Hollow Knight" plays (Hollow Knight is seperate from Sealed Vessel)

​@@bubble_espeon thank you!

Damn, IN YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!? RU-vid knows how beauty works I guess...

@@Velepexon Been rewatching too much mossbag for Silksong, I guess RU-vid knows what I want.

Yeah this was in my recommendations too 😅

@@ebb4128 Same here! And I'm glad I saw this!

In my recommended too!

*GOD NOT THE SWORDS AGAIN*

I literally got scared when radiance theme suddenly comes in

@@samsungsmartfridge7799 true. It didn't take me long to learn she really, *really* likes sharp objects. First time I was expecting the fight to be crazy but geez, I was skewered faster than I could blink.

Yeah I had my eyes closed and turned up my speakers to almost full to relax lol

I legit texted a friend before the transition and as soon as I started the video I nearly jumped

That transition was absolutely FOUL I had my volume all the way up and relaxing and got absolutely jumpscared by it

What program is running this?

@@petersonnormil6799 I want to say Sibelius or finale but I could be totally wrong

I believe silk song has a confirmed orchestra

@@TheArmouredGoose Holy shit. Christopher must be so happy!

Yeah

It should've been in the other order.

Ender Uzhumaki no, I think you’re wrong in a very objective sense

Really ruined the mood of the song

Pro gamer tip: go to the end of the video -> tap replay -> ads are no more

I know right

RIP to all the choir singers (me) who get to sing a few ahhs at the end (as a soprano i would gladly audition for the city of tears solo though)

Lmao

They didn't say that the Radiance's theme is too intense. They were discussing the use of saxophones in orchestral arrangements and said that this arrangement is too intense for them.

Ханбеков Рамиль I'm a saxophone player, if someone gave me a piece from Hollow Knight, I'd gladly blow my head off, especially in the Radiance’s theme

Attaboi

@@rakh3942 Yeah, they were but the timing is hilarious I like to imagine them shouting over the music about saxophone while the Radiance theme is blaring over them

The transition from dirtmouth to dung defender was less clean (no pun intended)

It is not the musician we deserve but the one we need

We don't deserve Team Cherry

We didn't deserve Toby Fox either

We didn’t deserve vgo

We can be can be sure about that

Wasn't it already an orchestral arrangement?

@@nyxshadowhawk Maybe, but I guess this rendition is great as well.

@@nyxshadowhawk Christopher Larkin, when composing the soundtrack, just made a lot of different types of tracks. Some only had one instrument, or focused on one. To have pieces like "Mantis Lords" focus on something other than just the Harpsichord in an orchestral score is majorly different to me.

Remove the part about your opinion. This is objectively the best soundtrack ever

why do I see you everywhere I go

@@plexquared1877 cus

Best in it's genre, easy as that. It's so fulfilling having both a perfect game and perfect sound track.

@@vr8652 And the perfect art style

Masterpiece!

I have like over 80 hours on my main save and there's still so much for me to do. I love the game so much :)

100%? not 112%?!

It's crazy good, right?

So freakin' good!

It's in the file labelled 'Anxiety'

@@billymurphy9234 huh, i thought it's labelled "PTSD"

@@thecommentguy9380 Weird, I could have sworn it was labelled "How to Get Your Ass Kicked 27 Times In Under 5 Minutes"

Agent Waffle I thought it was under the label “Easy as fuck after a couple of tries...””

Under the file: "hard hard lemon on my eyes"

What are these?

Vlad Dascaliuc oh, just timestamps, the things I correlated with the mood of the music at those times, and the places/characters they connect to. I randomly got inspiration to do it after listening to it once or twice

Sure.

Vlad Dascaliuc ye

Theres white lady between white palace and resting grounds

IT WAS SO SMOOTH

seems like zote and grimm are joining the party

Lets hope the bastard primal asshats dont join in

@@senza4591 they did :'(

@@pamplemoo Nah. It had to just be Zote trolls. I think the Radiance likes her theme too much to dislike this.

39 others are her controlled husks.

Same here, I love that there's so much viola melody!

white palace isnt the same without buzzsaws

Thank you very much for the comment. In this soundtrack there are many cross-rhythmic effects which makes it very interesting. Greenpath the beat is in dotted half note (in the score it specifies), the bass notes in the harp mark the beat of 3 in 3 and the melody is binary, so it could perfectly be in 6/4. But I think the natural tempo is 6/8, and I simply double the tempo to 12/8 so that the cross-rhythmic can be more easily subdivided and link it better with City of tears. Dung Defender is a clear example of cross-rhythmic, in this case it would be an 8/4 for the phrasing or a 4/4 with beat=78 but would be many sixteenths. But if you look at the accent it indicates very well the beat 2+2+3 and 2+2+3+2. The Mantis Lords look well where the accent is, it is totally binary. 6/8 is an additional bar, you can feel it in the phrase. Radiance another example of cross-rhythmic melody is binary and ternary accompaniment, this causes instability to the melody and cool a lot. The choir clearly marks the beat. Then you could change it to 4/4, but it's not necessary, even on 12/8 you could have started beats before. Thanks for feedback

VGOScore I suppose that’s a fair point. With all due respect, the cross rhythms would exist regardless of the time signature, so I suppose it doesn’t matter if it’s 3/4 or 6/8, in a way. I suppose I was looking at it from the perspective as a performer and also a conductor and where the beat is more naturally felt, at least to me. Greenpath is pretty difficult to conduct in 12/8, to be honest and the hemiola is actually created by the dotted quarter note, meaning the time signature is not defined by it. The 7/8 + 9/8 I guess makes sense but not when the melody comes in. The melody is very clearly defined in a 4/4, or 4/2, in this case if you left the same values. The sixteenth note runs in the violins make this especially clear, as well. The Mantis Lords is actually very much defined in 3/4 by the way you wrote it. The accents are placed on up beats if it were in 6/8 but would be on down beats in 3/4. And this is definitely one that I feel strongly from a player perspective when I take a look at the string parts. For The Radiance, the bass line clearly marks that this should probably be in a simple meter and not a complex, as it is defined by the quarter note, not a dotted quarter note. And again, running sixteenth notes make 3/4 the much more typical time signature. Sorry! I really enjoy transcribing for string orchestra/quartet and rhythm and time signatures are something that I really take into consideration when doing so, so I just wanted to share my thoughts.

@@NintendoViola Sometimes it can be very subjective about writing compound rhythms, I always try to detect where the accents and phrases are. Maybe the composer comes and tells us that we were wrong lol

VGOScore Yeah! I really don’t mean to sound argumentative, I guess I just feel too strongly about rhythm. ♪(´ε｀ )

We violas are slowly rising to power It’s only a matter of time before the violins become to joke of the orchestra

The best 20 min I've spent today so far

Another question: Who's evil enough to even think about dIsLiKiNg this Masterpiece?

According to my ads, RU-vid Premium.

A guy's gotta eat...

just as I read this comment, an add started.
