Tantal (Night) - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (piano/viola cover ft. Animevivi)

[@FaolainHawk]

An excellent cover of an excellent song from an excellent game. Good work!

[@purpleschala]

aw thank you so much!!!

[@theblazingtorchic9521]

The left-hand part starting at 1:40 is so essentially simple but beautiful. Great cover, as always!

[@purpleschala]

AHAHAHA thank you so much!!!!!! it's interesting you pointed that part out, as that section gave me the hardest time and went through rewrites more than any other in the song lmao. I usually go for the super complex figurations so it was good for me to be forced to sit back and realize less is more in some cases lol.

This tremendous and talented performance has opened my eyes to the music of a series I was formerly unfamiliar with. It's captivating. Thank you!

[@purpleschala]

THANK YOU SO MUCH JAY!!!! ❤️ Xenoblade music is all just so great and the games are amazing as well!!! thank you for the kind words and so happy to have introduced you to the sound of the series!!

[@YuzukiSeo0000]

Absolutely amazing!!!!! I love how the sound of the viola and the sound of the piano mix! As a pianist who also plays viola, I really appreciate seeing songs (especially videogame covers) that include violas and pianos. You both are great musicians who inspire me to get better at playing!

[@animevivi]

Ahhh thank you! We spent a lot of time adjusting this mix so I'm glad it paid off :) Hope you continue to enjoy playing both instruments~

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much Yuzuki, you are too kind!!! I'm so happy that you are a violist as well, it is woefully underappreciated and such a beautiful instrument!!1

[@PianoGameKnight]

[@purpleschala]

THANK YOU JIMMY!!!!! happy halloween!!!

[@PianoGameKnight]

[@imlosthereagain]

Awesome, absolutely beautiful ! thank you for the cover :) (the viola is gold)

[@purpleschala]

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!! And yes he certainly is!!

[@NivanSharma]

soo good! love the dynamics throughout the entire song. You guys did such a great job transposing something that's mainly guitar to Piano and Violin. It worked out really well!

[@purpleschala]

OH MAAAN thank you so much Nivan!!! that's a relief to hear as one of the main reasons I struggled with this one so much was because the guitar version is SO GOOD it's like, really hard to capture that vibe with piano and viola hahaha, and I was always lowkey feeling I didn't quite do it justice with my arranging OTL so thank you for the encouraging words!!!!

[@Julian-br7wb]

Listening to you play piano is like music to my ears! I'll let myself out.

[@purpleschala]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! thank you Julian!!!

[@sailiealquadacil1284]

It's so rare to hear a solo viola - lovely!

[@animevivi]

Yes I love getting to play some solo viola ^^

[@purpleschala]

violas are awesome! completely underappreciated and untapped potential! ❤️

[@LazyVocalist]

Tantal's day and night theme took me by surprise when I first heard them. I just didn't expect the snowy area to sound like that but I loved it. You guys did such a great job!!

[@purpleschala]

THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG!!! and same here! It was so unexpectedly beautiful, especially the night theme. Not typical RPG snowy sounding themes hahaha but it really worked!!

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Beautiful as always! I think I like this more than the original. I love the night version for Tantal! It's one of my favorite pieces from the game! Thank you for performing!

[@purpleschala]
