After the worldwide hit Anime movie 「Kimi no na wa」 the expectations for Makoto Shinkai's next movie 「Tenki no Ko」 were sky high in 2019. Naturally, I went to the cinema on the very first opening day and I was simply stunned by how beautiful the entire cinematography was. The vivid color palette, the way how each raindrop was meticulously animated, the amazing background visuals - this movie was simply beautiful to watch.
But my favorite scene is definitely the moment, where 「Grand Escape」 is playing, during the climax of the movie. Everything was just coming together perfectly in that moment and it reminded me again, why I love being an Anime fan. Because I live for these magical moments like these where "everything just feels right".
By the way, the full version of「Grand Escape」 has a really unique song structure because the real chorus is only played at the very end of the song. With other words, all the music before the climax in 3:42 is just a huge buildup.
The main challenge of this arrangement was to figure out that complicated right hand pattern in 0:15, because three different rhythms are combined into one hand. This part may look easy but it is very difficult to coordinate, once you add the left hand in 0:28. But not only that, I would say that the entire piece sounds like it's being played by three hands because of the multiple voice layers on the piano.
Another highlight of this arrangement would be the "high jumps" in 2:04. I was imagining the clear sky scenery in the anime and I wanted to somehow translate the lofty atmosphere to the piano as well. Also, if this piano arrangement would be played by an orchestra, I would let the violins play these high notes.
Last but not least, the climax in 3:42 I really wanted to include that cheerful hand clapping from the original music into the piano, so I used the three hand technique again to let the right hand play the CLAP CLAP CLAP. This is one of the few times, where the left hand is literally going all out and play the most glorious forte fortissimo ever!
Alright, that would be everything for Grand Escape! Next week I am going to arrange another Anime Movie song again!
See you next week!
