Song of the Nabateans - Fire Emblem: Three Houses (solo piano arrangement)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Fire Emblem: Three Houses piano album has been submitted for distribution and going live any day now, though realistically I think it'll be online in January, given the holidays and all! Fourteen tracks in all and I'm really excited to share it with you guys!
Thank you all so much for following me on this project. I can't believe I've been at this since August, and all your encouraging words and kind comments and enthusiasm have really meant the world to me. I still have a very long ways to go in piano arranging and this was such a fun and inspiring learning experience for me, one I hope will aid me for future projects and ongoing ones, such as Final Fantasy Tactics WHICH I AM 10000% READY TO DIVE BACK INTO!!
As I said before I'm not quite done with Three Houses yet, I'm working on a big collab arrangement of Apex to the World which will involve a lot of instruments, and two more FE3H videos to upload, but I will be easing off a bit to return to other things I was working on before Three Houses hit me like a frigging truck. Thank you so much again for following me, and happy holidays!
Also--if this thing is hardcore vibing Kingdom Hearts to you, that was intentional lol. Half of Xion's Theme is just blatantly stated in the original as a countermelody and i just had to run with it lmao.

2:02 I hear the Song of Healing snuck in there Merry Christmas! ☃

[@purpleschala]

LMAO several people have said that!! i had to look it up! completely unintentional lmao that figuration was in the original theme so possibly Morishita was paying tribute to majora's mask? hahaha

[@RisingSunfish]

@@purpleschala Was the Kairi's Theme allusion intentional, or am I just hearing things lol? If the Song of Healing reference is intentional on the composer's part that's super cool though. A gentle lullaby about the healing power of time that gets reappropriated to underscore an oppressive and unsettling presence? hmm.

“Everyone has something that is unacceptable within them. I certainly do, and I’d wager you do as well. I wonder which is best, professor... To cut away that which is unacceptable, or to find a way to accept it anyway...” "Whatever comes to pass, please swear to cut a path that is your own" This game. THIS GAME. My heart. It breaks.

This song didn’t have the impact for me in game that Lost in Thoughts or Lost in the Waves did ....but it does now. Thanks for another great adaptation

[@purpleschala]

aw man that's such a huge compliment omg. Thank you so much!!! i gotta say it's hard to top Lost in Thoughts haha that one is so good

[@stopannoyingme601]

If you want an impactful Fe song than you should try listening to "The Heritors of Arcadia" :)

You should have more suscribers

[@purpleschala]

hahaha thank you, i don't keep track tbh, i'm just happy someone out there likes my stuff lol

[@ChrismanTheGreat]

What a great Christmas gift to find today. I love the ethereal but melancholic feel you give to this song. It's just so beautiful.

[@purpleschala]

Chrisman the Great aww Chris thank you so much, you’re so kind, as always!! Merry Christmas!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RoyalEmber]

I saw this and it was an instant click. God I wish this song had a full official version to listen too. I'd pay good money for it.

[@purpleschala]

I WISH THE ENTIRE OST WOULD JUST BE RELEASED PLEASE NINTENDO AHHHHHH I WOULD THROW MY MONEY AT IT SO FAST!!!

[@TheRhedNova]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! Didn't expect to kick it off with this, but no complaints! Somber, but carries a feeling of weary respite, which fits with the holiday, haha! A good composition for a good day, glad to hear about the album :) Wishing you and your friends and family well this holiday season!!!!!

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHAHA ain't that the truth omg! Thank you so much! same to you and yours!!!!

[@matthewfera2954]

I just got Three Houses a week or two ago and just discovered your piano covers- these are phenomenal. Xion's theme is also one of my all time most emotional pieces of music. Throwing it in this was a great idea, I love this so much.

[@heyitzmae]

Song of the Nabateans is one of my favorite tracks in the game, this is such a beautiful rendition!

[@alinacha9132]

I really love your fire emblem piano arrangements! Your work gives me such a big inspiration every time. Thank you very much~

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! they're not perfect but i hope to be getting better doing them. Thank you so much for the kind words!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@michaelolegario6399]

I saw you post this on twitter mentoning Xion. Glad I'm not the only one that thought a certain part of the song sounded like a snippet of Xion's theme. I guess you were like "Why not. I'll add the whole thing." Also Merry Christmas or in Fodlan speak, Happy Garreg Mach Establishment Day!

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHA EXACTLY! I LOVE bringing in things that sound like other things and mashing up all kinds of themes hahaha, it's such a fun experiment lol!! And a merry Christmas to you too!!!!!

[@Elendieldunadan]

The Kingdom Hearts vibe fits this song perfectly. I hadn't noticed Xion's theme before, but now that you've mentioned it, I can't un-notice it. XD Hope you had a very merry Christmas!

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHA OMG--everyone's been telling me they hear Kairi's Theme and Dearly Beloved in here lol!!! as well as Zelda lol! and yes I did, and hope you did as well!!! Happy new year!!!

this is so out of this world~ u arranged it perfectly

[@purpleschala]

[@msangelofdarkness20]

Merry Christmas to you too!!! I was at a party so with all the loud music I probably wouldn’t have been able to hear this. But now at the comfort of my own home, this piece is so beautiful!! This theme was probably one of my favorites because it’s just so calming, and I think you arranged this amazingly too! It keeps the calmness but also just the slightest dark undertone at times, I love it!

[@purpleschala]

AHAHAHAHA thank you so much and hope the party was a good time lol!!! Thank you for the kind words, I'm really glad you liked it! Yes i'm really glad you felt the subtle dark vibe with those low bass notes, I love that undercurrent as well!!!!

[@dhisufiroafrozenseraphimdragon]

@@purpleschala When does this song play in-game? I have yet to hear it in the actual game.

[@edgarbh01]

Thanks for arranging this. This is my favorite song in the entire game. The moment where you have to choose a house, suspecting/knowing what lies ahead, watching each of my student's portraits and taking a long time to decide was one of the most fun and intense moments I've had while playing it... That moment of excitement, fear and sadness all mixed in will be with me for a very long time, hopefully.

[@purpleschala]

ahhh I'm so glad you like it! Yes, it's such an underrated gem, I'm so glad you appreciate it! Hahaha i admit I selected Blue Lions solely because Sylvain and Felix were hot, I had nothing else to go on at the beginning!! but I fell in love with everybody eventually.

[@edgarbh01]

@@purpleschala I went with Blue Lions as well because Dimitri seemed interesting (and also Ingrid ofc) but eventually I regretted it and wished I had gone Golden Deer. I love all of them but Lysithea backstory broke my heart lol

[@edgarbh01]

@@purpleschala Another good track that would be a total delight to hear your interpretation of it as well as your thoughts would be "The Long Road". Probably a pita to do in piano, though :'D

This is so delightful and I can't wait for the album! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much!!!!!!

[@magnumopus9048]

This is so beautiful!!! You should be so famous!!!! This is a song that once I heard it in the game I knew I wanted to play it. Although, I'm not the best at arranging things myself LMAO so I could only get the melody down on my own but without any accompaniment it felt so flat. To see that someone is finally playing it is so nice to hear!!! Do you have sheet music at all? I know that you're probably super busy already so no pressure, but I have an event coming up and I thought that if I could learn this song by then I could perform it there. Of course, only if that is alright with you, as I know you put your heart and soul into this already. Thank you so much!!! You're amazing, I'm glad to have found your channel!! Keep up the great work 🥺🥺💕💕💕

Tbh, thank you for doing this song. I always liked it, but didn't realize how beautiful this track truly was. It's so serene and just methodical but also not. I'm just counting the time until we get to the release date. So hype for Apex of the World and I'm crossing my fingers for God Shattering Star but I know that one is insane to figure out.

[@purpleschala]

ahh thank you so much!!! It works the best on harp i feel, but i'm glad you thought i made it work on piano! And yes my album just dropped today!!!! God Shattering Star would be...interesting to work out. lol i've been talking to a few collaborators on potential ideas for that one!

[@cjt217]

TBH I will be sad to see the FE3H content ending, but this has been such an awesome time, for me. There are so few quality covers of Fire Emblem music on this here platform and I think this fall/winter has cemented your position at the top of the list imo. Regardless, I am still looking forward to what comes next, thank you for continuing to provide us all with top quality work :D

The harmony and chord structure are great, another masterful arrangement! I don't know why but it reminds me a lot Kingdom Hearts music, especially Simple and Clean or The 13th Side (is it in the same key signature? I'm not sure...)

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHA yes!!! half of Xion's theme is stated at one point, and I just ran with it and stated the rest at the end lol, subconsciously using Kairi's theme to transition lol!!!

[@UprisingGrand]

Lol if someone told me they weren’t inspired by Yoko Shimomura, I’d call them liars! I heard bits of Xion’s Theme, Treasured Memories(World Orchestra Version), and Mt. Gagazet! If I’m not mistaken, this is the first KIngdom Hearts esque music you’ve recorded.

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! true that! Shimomura's influence is so profound and whether or not Xion's theme was intentional, it's CLEARLY there in the original!!! interesting that you heard Mt. Gagazet! i gotta go back to listen to that one, I love that one so much. Happy new year!!!!
