Nightsong - World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Cello Ensemble and Harp

[@AllisonMartin]

Oooooh what beautiful playing! And it's such a testament to your musicality to have things exposed like the solo at 0:57, wow. I love the cello range and how full it sounds with just the cello ensemble, but the harp giving more motion/percussive elements adds a nice texture :) I also like the further build with the accented eighth notes from the lower cello. This is just fantastic!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Lovely rich cello harmonies you have in this! Beautiful expressive playing and the harp was a nice addition in the backing ☺

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you! :D I love the cello for stacking chords, they can't help but sound rich--brings me a lot of joy to play this instrument, haha! Thank you for listening, and the kind words! 💖

[@Soundole]

Bravo, this is just magnificent! You pull a stunning amount of different textures out of your cello ensemble, and every part is played with care and finesse. Not only have you put a lot of thought into telling a story with your arrangement, but your video production fittingly matches the moods of this journey as well. Wonderful work, I'm so glad you could join us for this competition again!

[@arnaudbannier]

Beautiful arrangement and interpretation! I just love the sound of your cello.

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you, Arnaud, for listening, and the kind words! I think this is one of my favorites 😁

[@NoteBlock]

WOW! That's both the name of the song as well as a word to describe my reaction to this beautiful ensemble you've created! Amazing performance and production quality, both for video and audio! Love this a lot!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kalen_st]

Amazing harmonies, it sounds so rich and full!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you, Kalen! I'm glad you liked it 😄

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Absolutely beautiful performances! Such rich and lush string harmonies really make this cover shine! Excellent job!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thanks, Wurtzel! I'm glad it worked for you! 😊I love how it turned out, too!

[@BeccaMichaelson]

I think you need more cellos 😆 Rich playing, great job, CA!!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

That can be arranged 😍😍 although it'd help if I had a 5-string cello, haha. Thanks for listening, and the kind words, Becca!

[@MeredithBaillie]

Beautiful!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you :D

[@zenbaku]

Omg this is amazing!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!

[@cookedchicory6742]

This is beautiful. The choir and melody sound so good. the ensemble has such a nice texture and tone. The added lever harp is a sweet combination. And the video is so pretty. Everything from attires to background through visual audio plugins is so cohesive with this painting. Awesome work.

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you so much! I love stacking cellos deep (with a generous dollop of reverb, haha), that rich, velvety sound just speaks to my soul :D I try to work in my little lever harp where I can, it adds a neat texture and range (and range) I don't have with cellos alone :D Thank you for listening, and the kind words!

[@mariocisemusic]

Your cello sound is so beautiful and the ensemble is so nicely blended! The video adds a lot to the vibe as well, and the different colored shirts was a nice touch!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you so much! I love the colored shirts, too, haha--gives a little more flavor to the video :D

[@nemofairlight]

I listened this on my drive home and had to play it again a couple times cuz wow... it was so good!! The mix is incredible too😮 everything comes thru so clearly 😍 nice job!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Aw, thanks Nemo! I appreciate you listening to it, and your kind words! I agonized over this mix for hours (so much reverb can cause problems while simultaneously covering up performance issues, haha). I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💖

[@SheaViolin]

I've missed seeing your arrangements showing up in my feed CA! Thanks, and great job as usual!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Yeah, haha, my goal is four covers a year--it was stressful trying to maintain a high output while working a job, too, so hopefully this is a good balance between burnout and fulfillment 😅 I could only dream of matching your prodigious output 🤩 Thanks for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is probably my favorite of my covers to date.

[@SheaViolin]

@@ChromaticApparatus Have to take care of yourself first, obviously! I'm just at home keeping the kids from burning the house down, so I've got a little more time to work with!

[@Tremendouz]

Hauntingly beautiful. Cello + reverb = win

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Amen. :D I might use it too much, haha :V

[@TeraCMusic]

Ohhh yes!!! I don't know the original, but it sounds familiar! So beautiful 💜

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you, Tera! I'm not a WoW player, but Neal Acree has written some amazing music for it 😄I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks, again, for listening!

[@willimakemusic]

Holy moly this is so wonderful! Absolutely fantastic work!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Thank you for listening! ♥ I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@TimberTaipei]

Man, I hope you get picked up for Skyrim 2. Just Chromatic Apparatus and me slaying mudcrabs.

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Mudcrabs are known connoisseurs of the arts. I met a mudcrab in a top hat once ... probably off to the opera or something.

[@RyuMatrix]

Wow, this is wonderful!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

😊 Thank you!

[@Duhemsounds]

This is very beautiful, well done

[@ChromaticApparatus]
