Sheik's Theme/Zelda's Lullaby Impressionist Piano Arrangement

I've been in the process of moving cross-country, so the best I can give you at the moment is a video-less recording of an arrangement I made earlier this year. This is an idea I've been sitting on for quite some time -- an arrangement that weaves together Sheik's theme and Zelda's Lullaby, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has played Zelda: Ocarina of Time all the way through. :-) The title is "La princesse cachée," or The Hidden Princess.
Please let me know what you think, and thanks for listening!

Hinestly, Sheik's theme is one of if not the most underrated piece of Zelda music out there. I'm so happy to hear such a GORGEOUS rendition of it. Nice work, friend!

[@BimBamHeidi]

This is so incredibly beautiful. I've never heard such a moving rendition of Sheik's Theme before.

[@adamfoudali5119]

shut up

[@AsgerRosendalThorn]

Sometimes I doubt everything in my life and feel sick and numb. Then I hear something as beautiful as this that makes me weep and feel a bit of hope again.

[@docnanomusic]

Thanks for the positive feedback, this comment made my day! I’m glad it made you feel a little better.

[@alex-sensei]

Amazing! This particular Kondo piece (mixed with Zelda’s Theme) with a Debussy touch is just… perfect!

[@matthewgalvano7248]

Oof, I love the Debussy call. Girl with the Flaxen Hair. One of my favorites of all time

[@Sasukeheart2]

I found it! I remember listening to this over 5 years ago and it stuck with me. Sheik and Zelda's theme combined. Thank you for making this beautiful arrangement.

[@voltapix]

so wonderful

[@daigoro789]

Ohhhhh snapppp!!! Another contribution to your on-going OoT impressionistic style cover collection thingy! And just as beautiful as ever! I really like the idea of combining these two pieces - something you did with such ease! As ever muchly looking forward to future additions to this most awesome of projects! :)))

[@docnanomusic]

Thanks, man! Encouragement like that helps keep the motivation up. :-)

[@toeresa]

this is such an incredible arrangement i feel it so deeply in my soul and never bothered to comment, i thought it was important you knew

[@toeresa]

to add to that-- will you be putting this on spotify by any chance?

[@snakepliskin23]

Flawlessly done. I love piano

[@MattMichPro]

This is some quality music right here. Always coming back to listen. Well done sir.

[@freedomsflame688]

Good luck with the move. Thanks for finding time to give us more beautiful music, Doc!

[@docnanomusic]

Thanks! Going smoothly so far. It's actually 2 moves within a span of 1 month, so double the fun. ;-)

This is beautiful! Do you ever post sheet music for your songs?

[@aaronfry27]

really this is the best this song can be, perfect. id consider a better thumbnail im sure youll get a flow a viewers (i like it but maybe something a little more eye grabbing in color ect)

[@haleyhodsonharp]

Would you be willing to share the sheet music? Is it available somewhere for purchase? :)

What so you can die before 30 and be a burden to everyone around you because you refuse to acknowledge reality? Yeah maybe not

[@misscbbbbb6788]

I think your wasting your time playing some song you did not mack be more original

[@joshmeagher985]

Misscb Bbbb I think you misunderstand. He covers videogame soundtracks.

[@TheAeolys]

I love the base notes playing Zelda's lullaby while the treble plays Sheik's theme. Such an interesting interpretation.

[@docnanomusic]

Thanks! Once I realized that Zelda’s theme is hiding in parts of Sheik’s theme anyway, it was a fun challenge to put them together.

[@XMitsurugiX]

Beautiful... would it be too much to ask for the sheet music?? please? *.* Certain parts of the arrangement remind me of C. Debussy's Piano Estampes

[@SP35640SNAKE]

estampes changed my life

[@RebeccaETripp]

This was the first thing I saw when I woke up. Thank you! Your music is the perfect thing for my soul right now!

[@docnanomusic]

Thanks! It's always nice to read your comments!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Doc Nano (The VGM Impressionist) >:D I will make more. But first, you must compose more music for me to comment on... please. ^^

Wow, that's a grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat cover ! I listened to almost all of your videos, and they are all great actually ! :D You're doing an awesome job, you deserve many more subs, I hope you will ! :D Have a super nice day !

[@thumper3063]

The transition to zelda's lullaby is overwhelming ❤

[@AndromedaCripps]

I don't know that I would call this Impressionist in the traditional sense... Impressionism is all about painting image and complex weaving of harmonies. But its still beautiful and I'm very glad you made it! Great job!

[@niikojo8774]

That intro sounded alot like The Lake theme from Pokémon Platinum.

[@pabloabarca8762]

gorgeous. really sounds like Debussy.

[@isaacdocumentariesinc2751]

[@marazula]

This is beautiful! Would you be willing to share the sheet music?

[@marazula]

I only ask because I'd love to have it played at my wedding :)

[@ohdomme771]

How often did I listen to this today? ^^

[@ntonyproduction]

That was truly beautiful. Sheik's theme is my favorite theme in Zelda OOT.

[@rynabuns]

Ahhh it's a good arrangement... but the thing that really attracted me to the theme in the first place was the beautiful, jazzy chords, a great hallmark for impressionistic music... >w

[@docnanomusic]

Sorry you didn't like it! Personally, I'm rather proud of how the two themes are woven together in parallel, which was enough of a challenge for this brain.

[@rynabuns]

Doc Nano (The VGM Impressionist) Oh my goodness I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to demean your arrangement! I do like it! I'm just a little frustrated that other people haven't really tried to cover this theme more often.

[@joshua4200]

In the begining i can listen some melodic progression of the arabesque n. 1 by C. Debussy.

[@docnanomusic]

Yes, there’s a good chance my brain was unconsciously imitating that arabesque when composing the introduction!

[@narkyatosyampa1335]

Do you have the piano sheet? 'Cause is amazing

[@JairusC]

That polyphony is superb.

[@thinkingfubuki]

At first, I felt cringey at the altered rhythm of Shiek's theme. Then I listened further and saw how it fit in with the interpretation and I loved it.

[@bartucmoreau7801]

Cette musique est tellement belle.

[@HeyItsDyl]

Hey man, i found this on my recommended list and i would like to say thank you. This brings back all the memories of me as a kid playing this game for the first time and loving every bit of it.

[@docnanomusic]

Smidget Gaming Glad to have brought back some pleasant memories for you!

[@AnimaxRules]

Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth...

[@Maryroselan]

Any way to get the music sheet of this? :)

[@emia5832]

this is such a beautiful arrangement! i recently transcribed sheet music for this so i could play it myself, would you be ok if i posted it on musescore by any chance? (with credit to you and a link to this video ofc)

[@seanworthington3392]

Hey, do you still have the sheet music? thanks a ton!

[@pianobard5478]

Hey can you send the sheet music over email?

[@emmamiller.]

7 years later and still a masterpiece in my recommended 🫶🏻

[@notificationgangmember9339]

Honestly, whenever I have an emotional breakdown (wich is pretty often) I come and listen to this. Thanks for making it.

[@yjma99]

this is incredible, i was wondering if you plan on transcribing this? or if there is music sheet already available, cheers!

This is absolutely beautiful! Really very soft and moving... it reminds me of the way a family friend plays the piano! You're really very talented!! I would adore to see sheet music for This! I only ever played the piano in passing--but to be able to play this song would be lovely.....

[@magnusdahl510]

Amazing piece! Is the notesheet available anywhere?
