I can never get enough of genshin music. There is such a wide variety between the different regions and instruments and contexts (battle music, city music, environmental etc) . And then when you add the layer of context of the story, this Fontaine song can range from a grand introduction to the city, to the sorrow and drama and grandeur of the climax of the story. It really hits emotions on another level. And that is just fontaine, all the others have their own story contexts, and such an amazing blend of instruments and cultures. I never get tired of it.

[@michelleeverbloom]

That was a heartfelt and beautifully written tribute to Genshin Impact!

[@douglasjrza]

There's a Genshin Impact Concert Live from Shanghai that has major tracks and fan favourites from the discography all in one video.

[@devolays]

I'm so excited whenever I see a new face reacting to Genshin music, especially if it's someone who's able to appreciate the beauty of it. Absolutely loved the reaction. You just sitting there, completely stunned, hypnotized, especially from 7:00, was the most accurate reaction to this masterpiece. At 7:36 you even looked like you'd start to tear up any second; I know I did! There's that meme that says that mihoyo/hoyoverse is actually a music company that's just making games on the side to promote their music. Now you understand why! :D Thank you, most precious reaction

more genshin orchestra reactions please! i recommend the orchestra pieces for Sumeru, Inazuma and Liyue

Seconded! Also recommend Lamentation et Triomphe which is another song from this region that they did a orchestra music video for.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@samirSch]

@@michelleeverbloom Lamentation et Triomphe is definitely the most unique orchestra performance I've seen so far, I'm sure you'll agree with us once you see it :D

[@ctran1955]

I LOVE seeing people who have a background in music react to Genshin's music, especially their live orchestra concerts which are just a delight! I'm not well versed in instruments but even I can appreciate all the interesting unique instruments used in this performance. You might be able to tell but Fontaine is an area in Genshin, based on France, and their "element" is water, hence all those water-based instruments :D Due to Genshin's popularity, I anticipate you may be inundated with lots of requests if you haven't already. I want to apologize a bit on their behalf, Genshin's fans are quite enthusiastic about the music in the game :') but I hope everyone is nice and pleasant, and not too demanding. Of course, only do what you feel comfortable with or are interested in :D!

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm delighted to interact with enthusiastic fans and hope to do more Genshin reaction videos!

[@Ikuruga]

The world in this game is a fantasy interpretation of various regions in the real world. These regions are defined by an element and I guess like a concept. Fontaine, the nation of Hydro (water; hence the many water motif's in the lighting and instrumentation) and Justice. Its strongly inspired by France and the surrounding cultures.

[@michelleeverbloom]

It's a beautiful symbolism!

[@ZephyrBluePaddy]

The Genshin fanbase is huge and varied, theres a lot of in-fighting etc - but the one thing we ALL agree on is that music in Genshin is absolutely out of this world. Hoyomix just absolutely never misses when it comes to Genshin.

[@ytaiku]

Genshin as game is 10/10, while their music is 100/10

[@Zoh-ria]

The game is filled with instrumental music like this even when you're just walking around the place especially in the fontaine region. You could literally play as a drunk bard and beat up some thieves and you'd have the most epic music playing in the back

[@HashiNuke]

What about a child committing arson? Or perhaps a shut-in alchemist?

[@Ardenmoth]

I absolutely love that descending section with the piano and harpsichord too it’s my favorite part

[@michelleeverbloom]

It's so unique!

[@bananacat5327]

There are several different concepts from Genshin that you SHOULD absolutely check out. Genshin has an amazing soundtrack that ranges in a lot of different soundscapes and genres of music since it’s an open world game with each region being based on real world countries. Fontaine specifically is based on France and general European sounds. Please check out the Sumeru, Inazuma, and Liyue concerts, you’ll be stunned by them. Also lil fun fact that adds a little more detail to these pieces, Fontaine within Genshin is the nation of water. So the use of the Glass Harp and Glass Harmonica in the pieces is very fitting since they’re water based instruments!

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you! I really loved those water instruments!

[@Nero-se2gf]

So, for natlan what are fire based instruments?)

[@atriyakoller136]

​​@@Nero-se2gfthere is actually an instrument that makes sound with fire, but I don't remember the name 😅 but idk if they're going to implement it there. Technically, this was used in Mondstadt with wind, Inazuma with a slight focus on EDM direction as the nation of Electro, and Sumeru... Well, all regions had instruments made of wood😂😂😂 I wonder if there are any instruments made of stones for the geo in Liyue and if they're going to use an ice violin for Snezhnaya 😂😂😂😂

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

Hoyoverse releases videos like that when a new region is about to be released, and it usually is "Song #1 = theme, or one of them featuring the region's main leitmotif" and "Song #2 = one of the overworld battle songs". So yeah, that second song is hear when you are in the region of Fontaine fighting monsters, which is so cool! I agree with everyone else, and I absolutely recommend the other regions videos like this, and the Shangai live concert!

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thank you for the recommendation!

[@neffi1941]

The really nice touch is that this music is for Genshin Impact's nation associated with water, and to create it, they used instruments that you play on using water - the glass harp and glass harmonica (which is the instrument used in the second piece that looks like glass bowls or goblets). The different nations of Genshin are based on different places in our real world and their music will use instruments associated with those places. I really recommend checking out more of it.

[@flowerbit4137]

The music in this game is so immersive and genuinely enjoyable and memorable outside of the context of the game. I’m happy you enjoyed this piece!

[@Sheevlord]

5:00 it's a glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thanks for naming this instrument!

[@dgmojojojo]

That instrument must have the right amount of pressure to make sound. Too much it can cut your finger 😅 too light it wont make a sound.

[@HashiNuke]

​@@dgmojojojo It also has a misconception about that instrument killing people, but that's only because they pretty much made that with lead paint back then. I honestly think that the glass harmonica has a nice sound to it.

[@TheStickCollector]

It must be nice to own an orchestra. I would have them play any pieces i compose.

[@rogerioth]

The music was one of the main factors that got me in this game… When you can, listen to the track ‘Die Mittsommernacht Fantasie’ (was the battle theme during a limited event) but is an epic soundtrack

[@nurusds3]

With every region released once per year, they bring instruments from the inspired Nation to their music; for example Japanese instruments when they released Inazuma.

[@Nguyen_Thien_Son]

If you like this, you can check out other orchestra performance from Genshin Impact. There are 7 regions in game that are inspired by real life countries, and the music made for each region reflects that by using tradional instruments from the corresponding real life countries/cultures, in addition to the standard orchestral instruments. The amazing thing is that all are composed by Hoyoverse, and not only the instruments, but you can feel the melody is truly originated from these countries, so the composers must do some intense researches. Also, they are often performed in the corresponding country, for example: the music of the Japanese inspired region is performed by Tokyo Orchestra in Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall. It makes the variety of music in Genshin Impact unparralleled. There are currently a total of 1000+ tracks in Genshin Impact. Some other Orchestra Perfomance videos are: - Sumeru Live Symphony Performce | Genshin Impact (Middle East and South Asia inspired) - Realm of Tranquil Eternity: Inazuma Live Symphony Performance | Genshin Impact (Japan inspired) - Genshin Concert Special Edition - Reflections of Spring | Genshin Impact (China inspired)

Fontaine is actually the Nation of Hydro (water) that's why youll see a lot of instruments that includes water

[@chencyrus5444]

[@almighty_cheeselord]

I love genshin’s music so much, it takes up over half of my Spotify playlist lol. I’m currently trying to learn some of the songs on piano and practicing has become a highlight of my day because of it, the songs are just too good! Fontaine’s soundtrack is my favorite

[@samirSch]

The unusual instruments" are what makes Genshin very cultural: the Viola da Gamba, the Accordeon are in Fontaine's music because Fontaine is based in western Europe, mostly France. There are Shakuhachi, Koto and others in Inazuma, which is based on Japan, as there are Duduk/Armenian flute on Sumeru, along other native instruments I don't know. Sumeru is based on an amalgam of everything from Egypt to India, but mostly Iranian and Arabic culture. I'd love to see your reaction to a bit of each type of Genshin music types: - The short (~1min) character themes: Bard's Adventure (Venti), Marching of Xiezhi (Yanfei), Dance of Aphros (Eula), Devotion of the Keeper (Thoma), Awake from a Nightmare + Termination of Desires (Raiden Shogun), Graceful Dexterity (Yelan), Storm Chaser (Heizou), Winding Through Avidya (Tighnari), Nephrite of Deshret (Candace). - The epic boss battle themes: Symphony of the Boreal Wind (Andrius), Rage Beneath the Mountains (Azhdaha), Saltatio Favillae (La Signora), Polumnia Omnia (Scaramouche), All-Devoring Narwhal (same), Absoluto Absoluta Absolutissima (Arlecchino). - Emotional story music: Tender Strength, Moonlike Smile, Hanachirusato, Fading Memories, Caress of the 3 Mothers, Her Wishes, Rainbow Cradlesong - Exploration music: Stories of Remote Antiquity, , Sink into Oblivion - Battle music: Burst into Flames, Rapid as Wildfire, Rhyme of Vales (Desert Version), Lamentation et Triomphe (watch the video, it's super amazing!) - Relaxing BGM: Legend of Redemption, Peaceful Wishes, Village Surrounded by Green, Ann's Quiescent Residence - Unique (?) thematic song: La Vaguellette (the clip version, with Cecilia Cara singing). There's so much more but these cover the main stuff and are all I can remember by now.

[@cameronuy9552]

This slaps even harder after completing the Fontaine archon quests. I know it sounds weird, but it actually gives the soundtrack so much more meaning behind it when the storyline is completed.

Such a cool performance! It was beautifully done and I loved watching you pick out the different parts! Keep it up Michelle!

[@ar_greyheart_4]

4:54 It's a Glass Armonica. This thing was historically known as a cursed musical instrument, causing all sorts of problems like dizziness, cramps, nervousness, muscle spasms etc. to many who played it and listened to it for prolonged periods. Some people cannot tolerate its sound - a child in Germany died during a performance following which it was banned in a few towns

[@Kazuha21]

I'd say one of the reasons I sometimes stand still for 30 minutes in a specific ingame area is just to appreciate the music. The battle and boss themes are especially good. I suggest you check out some boss themes, these ones are tame compared to those. Also, I suggest you check out some of the concerts, it's a long sit but it's worth it, they're so good! I guess one of the reasons Genshin has become so popular is its music, the way they merge traditional instruments with pop/edm/sometimes even dubstep and drumnbass is amazing.

[@RobertMihai2007]

the only type of reaction video i'd willingly watch

[@trashraccoon2635]

genshin's music is honestly great. they have several live recordings and concerts if you want to check out. other than fontaine, they also have performances for the in-game nations' main theme and battle theme for inazuma and sumeru, and they'll likely have another performance for upcoming nations. some boss battles also have performances! polumnia omnia seems to be a real popular one. i myself prefer rage beneath the mountains and neverending performance. if you'd like, please check out die mittsommernacht fantasie! it's an event exclusive song that sadly we can't listen to in-game anymore, but it's a fan favorite and a lot of youtube reactors with music background are blown away listening to it.

Whenever a new region in the game comes, one of the things I get excited about is the new style of music we're gonna get.

[@Avitus2010]

4:55 - This musical instrument is called a glass Harmonica. An instrument of incredible musical frequency. But it also has a downside. People who are unprepared cannot listen to the melody of this instrument for a long time. The thing is that the melody that this instrument emits produces very unusual low frequencies. I personally saw how after playing this instrument in Prague. People fainted. Therefore, the instrument is very unusual and sounds incredibly beautiful. In the past! So in the 18th century, approximately. This instrument was called the Angelic One. They also tried to ban the tool at that time, considering it dangerous. But as you can see, this creation gives us a heavenly sound.

[@michelleeverbloom]

[@justsomeguy727]

Na. You're welcome to think that way but it's simply not true. Many of the OSTs that didn't include him are phenomenal. Enkanomiya, many character demos like Raiden and Yelan, Fontaine's music, some pieces in the Chasm as well as that one battle theme for Fischl's domain during the summer event, etc etc. There's an entire video on songs within the game that YPC didn't have any hand in and they're all just as good as the stuff he did help with. Besides, it isn't like YPC made those songs solo anyway. It was done by team. He's just the only name people know so he gets all the credit. He also didn't do all of Sumeru(some yes but not all) either so you listing it here just kind of tells me that you don't know what songs he did and didn't work on but attach his name on to things selectively. I know links don't work normally but a little copy paste should work fine. Some songs he DIDNT work on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn61qpaPqKqtbZIsi=bF5Y7akD6q8PiaxG Trust me, I love YPC's work in GI too, but to pretend the music has dipped in quality at all since his departure is just dishonest imo.
