Polumnia Omnia (Scaramouche Boss Theme Phase 2)/Genshin Impact Virtuosic Piano Arrangement

I am super exhausted from arranging and practising and recording for this theme. I have to say I love both phase 1 and 2 so much.
I invited Jasper Hu to write the description this time about this arrangement
“Scott and I agree that it is very difficult to arrange the EDM elements and the only way to do it is by, as we have done with all the Honkai Impact pieces, abusing RH runs and LH syncopation. Not much can be done to make these stuff easier to play but we still do it, because you never know how much time and effort you can save in recording stage just by changing a few notes that alters your hand positions.
The opening 4 bars were actually the last to finalise, because we really had no idea how to recreate the pressure of seeing the giant Scaramouche Gundam raging in front of you, in a way that is not so monotonous on piano but still playable. In the end Scott decided to go with some machine-gun repeated notes followed by an upward and downward run. It is worth noting that when the teenager male voice (probably embodying Scara's inner tone) first appeared Scott tried to borrow the texture from Chopin's Ocean Etude. Other sections of the arrangement are, as mentioned, just runs that take sheer time and effort to formulate and optimise, but just a few words to describe.
In addition to all those craziness, we still need to take care of Scaramouche's background and emotions conveyed in the piece. There are probably only two places in the piece where we have more wiggle room to do this: the Shakuhachi section shortly after the beginning of the piece, and the other Shakuhachi section when the structure of the piece gets repeated. They underpin Scara's intimate relation with Inazuma, and his retrospect to the land. The problem is that it gets very difficult to put additional elements in arranging these sections, when they are meant to be sound more straightforward than what has come before. In the first time I started off attempting to write a canon in LH that imitates the Shakuhachi line in RH but I failed. Scott was not supportive of the idea either because polyphony is always nasty to play. We sticked to simple 3-hand technique. After the 8 bars of 3-hand technique comes a notably long gradual crescendo that spans 16 bars, with many voices interlocking with one another and spanning the keyboard.
In the repeated Shakuhachi section, however, we were thinking how we could go more lyrical and romantic. I sent to Scott a draft with quaver triplets in the LH and the teenage male voice would magically arise among other notes in the triplet run. Scott somehow fancied combining this melody with the theme in The Divine Will trailer, but he wasn't sure how exactly to convert the theme from 6/8 to 4/4 so he played me a demo with just the two lines, and asked me whether ai could apply the triplets to this setting. I thought upon hearing that just the two lines would suffice, if it acts as a fragile restart after all the tempestuous runs comes to a halt. We immediately thought of Scott's Dvalin Battle arrangement where he inserted a cantabile section of melodies from the Dvalin's Nest, and the battle theme returned in a very Rachmaninoff way. So Scott rushed into fitting our idea to this style, and modifying both lines so that they sound like a unity. I still wanted to make a difference in texture, so I showed him a piece by Yu-Peng titled Dream of Rachmaninoff which featured banging chords in 2 against 3. Scott took that idea and did an amazing feat: he managed to squeeze the original battle theme in the middle register with LH, while playing the modified theme higher up with RH. This would be the single outstanding section even if one finds the rest of the piece unimpressive.”

I can safely say you're the best musician this fandom ever has.

[@WongUeHang]

Yes, as a pianist myself, I can see how advanced he managed each passage with the best texture possible, and the personal twists are all excellent... Can't wait to practice it myself.

[@moritzgoe]

100% agreed

[@Dazeryn]

[@WongUeHang]

@@moritzgoe update: struggling rly hard right now. One of the most difficult arrangements I've ever played on the piano, on par with some of the hardest Animenz arrangements.

I love how the insane final beatdrop becomes instantly melancholic just by using piano and slowing it down. Every part of his theme is tinged with sadness and even regret.

[@LorenzoEvonne]

I honestly can’t wait for the premier. Even though Scara’s theme is complex, knowing that your a excellent player I know you can nail this one.

[@snudoooftheweafwings2707]

My favorite thing about piano is its ability to convey so many emotions, even those conveyed by completely different instruments

[@snkxhxxd5449]

This is incredible. Also does anyone else feel like 2:17-2:30 sounds like an Inazuman tune? I love it

[@nice3294]

It's the melody in the divine will cutscene (combined with the tataratsuna theme originally in the song)

[@lukyluky9181]

I think it's variation of Silent Testimony.

[@boeman6702]

it sounds similar to A Hallowed Skull

[@jonathanwilson5355]

I believe that is a tatarasuna reference. There’s a similar melody that plays on that island.

[@goharmartirosyan15]

I think it is a sample from inazuma. He is inadvertently connected to raiden shogun and a lot of lore is in inazuma. Which I think makes sense why he would have the inazuma theses there and the harbenger themes that are present in seniors and Tartaglia boss fights.

[@nice3294]

This was incredible I absolutely adored the inazuman part at 2:10, It was a pleasant suprise for how bittersweet it sounded compared to the original

[@canaries6446]

Telling a story without saying a word, only through music is the highest degree of skill. Bravo!

[@kayla7242]

I like how Scara's backstory was put in the last part, both the music and putting in the cutscene (it kinda gives some kind of closure to the piece)

[@crustacean4485]

the way it faded to his story teaser theme was so well done omg

[@kevinsetiawan3301]

Woah, love the story telling in this one. I like the way you put in Scara's sad backstory that made him evil in the middle of the song.

[@isladiamondgren3575]

As an self-taught multimusician, I GASPED. I learned how to play Polumnia Omnia myself too, but this... MAN. Truly masterpiece! The way each chord is perfectly advanced. . . you have my applause.

[@scaraimpact23]

As a big Scaramouche SIMP and MAIN, I am utterly grateful for this epic rendition.

[@arcesine]

This is so epic!!!! Scara's boss theme is easily one of my faves from genshin, and now that Scott and Jasper have created this godly arrangement I can die happy

[@yoyemii]

scaramouche’s theme sounds so majestic, i know im going to enjoy your piano arrangement!

[@andrey.8375]

Oh my god this is so EPIC. AMAZING !!! 0:24 Etude Chopin op 25 no 12🥰 Thanks to Jasper Hu and ChaconnScott. You've done an excellent job.

[@luckyjc8702]

Wow, what a nice spot, I knew that motif sounds familiar but couldn't quite identify it.

[@ChaconneScott]

Umm it's not Ocean even tho the description mentioned that I was going to use but clearly not similar at all.

[@andrey.8375]

@@ChaconneScott it seemed to me that it is partially similar to an etude, in any case it still looks cool.

[@элк-ч1в]

аа этот инадзумский мотив на 2:10 , и то, как вы вписали его туда… у меня сердце сжалось. я понимаю, что в оригинале подобное было бы неуместным, так как это всё же боссфайт, но ваша версия просто разбила мне сердце. спасибо за то, что сделали мой любимый ост ещё прекраснее! вы шикарны

[@andrey.8375]

Согласен полностью

[@pyro4151]

This is one of my favourite osts and your cover sounds amazing!! I especially love 2:17 and how you made it sound Inazuman with the softer and sadder tune for Scara's backstory it was such a good addition to the overall theme. Great job!! ^^

[@micheya2944]

Honestly, I was questioning how on earth this was going to be translated onto piano with so much going on in the back, but once again you impress. This was a brilliant performance. Well done.

[@moonstone3054]

it's super relieving to see people actually playing these instead of just midi instruments, it sort of reassures me that i can actually play these songs if i work hard enough

[@nicolechan3692]

I have no idea what to even say, this is just so impressive and a creative take on the original!!! We're truly blessed that you're a fan of Genshin lol

I have absolutely no words. This has to my favorite arrangement you have done for Genshin. I was full expecting 2:10 to be just like how it is in game but when you changed it to like the Scaramouche cutscene from 3.1 it made the the arrangement more powerful than it already is. Great work!

It's not just the _ability_ to play something so intricate and complex ( we don't talk about how _good_ the dynamics and phrasing are)-- ITS ARRANGING/TRANSCRIBING SUCH A HARD THING! To think something originally composed to be played in a full orchestra can be so well portrayed with just a piano!
