Star Wars - Cello Medley

[@Paint]

I will watch this every day until I'm a DEAD PERSON.

[@dreamtheaterfanboy4421]

Paint, me, too.

[@ishmamahmed7742]

*dead channel- haha jk you're awesome

[@kalliopewhite4457]

Paint me too Jon!!!

[@NapoleonCalland]

And So Say All of Us!

[@ginger3835]

well now your channel is dead.. are you still watching it?

[@josephjanson4753]

“I’ll check this out for a few seconds” 9 minutes and 59 seconds later: “Well I guess I’ll start it over.”

[@6789micro]

Bruh that’s just like me

[@UrbanTiger74]

Ending this medley with Leia's theme was fitting after today, 12/27/16. She will be missed.

[@aurorous9758]

She passed on my birthday :(

[@andrewcauthorn9121]

Aurorous yooo same

[@SirDenwix]

That chilling ending of Leia’s theme does a beautiful send off to her character by gentle notes, fitting end to end the medley of Star Wars. Cried a little bit on how beautiful it is.

[@LimitedSpectrum]

To me, she is royalty.

[@-Topin-]

Aurorous ok that’s so sad

[@Formicula-Formiculum]

I love this. Also R.I.P. Carrie Fisher. This makes a brilliant farewell medley.

[@kennedybetancourt4799]

Across the Stars is always so beautiful

[@HBiz72]

The "all cello" sound is more intense than I thought it would be. It gives everything a much more ominous tone. I listened end to end and loved this. Extremely well done.

[@andyghkfilm2287]

Hector Lannibal The cello is so criminally underrated as a melody instrument, instead often being relegated to countermelody or bass lines that don't do the instrument the justice it deserves. I'd say this instrument and the French Horn are my favorite instruments that receive this treatment. You've just gotta love the fullness and richness of the sound.

[@colinhenson3667]

AndyGHKFilm Horns always get counter melody and it's a shame

[@andyghkfilm2287]

Colin Henson it's a damn shame, for sure.

[@eighmeekins]

AndyGHKFilm As a horn player I have to agree. I get so stoked on the rare occasion that I get a really cool part.

[@lordcrystaldounut6666]

Amy Wallace I completely agree, i play the cello and I have a friend who plays the French horn and he rarely gets to play the main melody. And as a cello player there aren't a huge amount of orchestral pieces that feature us as the main part

[@davidgressli1691]

You are one of the most talented people I've ever seen. You're not only playing an instrument very well, I can also see that you're very emotional and passionate person while playing.

[@scottroman9993]

I agree. In order to be a talented musician, a person needs skill and passion. It is clear that this guy has both in spades.

[@taleahughes2197]

i love that this begins with Padme's funeral dirge and ends with Leia's theme. It showcases the two women who were instrumental to "restoring balance" to the Force. So beautiful!

[@MikhaelAhava]

It wasn't Padme's funeral, I think. Jinn?

[@luigi7781]

MiguelPpM it was jinn but I think padmè had it to

[@DayofToast]

Talea Hughes yessssss

[@marshallmatez1762]

Pretty sure it was qui gons funeral... In the phantom menace.

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

@@marshallmatez1762 It's both - the Revenge of the Sith epilogue uses the Naboo Funeral theme

[@Unim4trix]

Why does everything get better when played on a cello? Transcendental really. Astonishingly beautiful and almost perfectly executed.

[@jaromwatts6642]

Because Cellos are supreme

[@Cherem777]

I believe it’s because they say the cello is the closest instrument to the human voice

[@Phoneixrising99]

The cello is a magical instrument. It's lyrical and tonal capabilities are beyond comprehension. As a cello player I am beyond glad I chose to play it.

[@Raze_134]

Whoa! Never would have expected that song to open any Star Wars medley

[@jtkim8079]

It's just really ironic...

[@Ash-xb7mf]

I'm so glad he did though! it's my favorite. gives me chills each time

[@estebancandelaria246]

Quality choice, though

[@NapoleonCalland]

And yet it makes perfect sense, not to mention the points this medley scores for sheer awesomeness.

[@96ajk]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one

[@todo3602]

Battle of the Heroes was so cool. Same with Across the Stars.

[@MrGcat99]

This made me think of how important Star Wars was to my childhood.... and I'm crying now. What a beautiful rendition.

[@sxhmeatyclaws]

I tend to say if music can conjure up emotions that lie within your own mind while simultaneously bringing a deeper connection between you and a scene or a character, then the composer succeeded. John Williams, you have succeeded.

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Agree 100% and would like to add that Nicholas Yee has also very very much succeeded!

[@laughlan3942]

I love the transition between the funeral theme and The Imperial March. But I would say Battle Of The Heroes is my favourite

[@LordRamen12]

SELECT A FLEET TO COMMAND. I love how you picked these songs instead of main imperial march and main theme

[@elliotttilton9858]

I think the prequels music is WAY to underrated, and you nailed that home. Thanks for showing people how beautiful this music really is.

[@elfberry]

The precision and accuracy in this medley is astounding, not to mention completely beautiful. Stellar job, sir. I don't know if I've ever subbed faster in my life.

[@ito2789]

Absolutely beautiful composition from the maestro. Princess Leia's Theme always gets me.

[@nicholasdyee]

I think Princess Leia's Theme is definitely my favourite from the entire series 🙌

[@Fausto_moh]

Starwars has such great music. Each piece deviates enough to give the emotion that it wants yet is familiar enough that we all know its all from the same movie

[@LordQueezle]

Wow... I got chills from this. Nothing quite like the voice of a cello, so rich and low, and then high and light. And to mash that with Star Wars!

[@harperg6489]

I play this every time I mourn my friend who died January 26, 2020. I just sit in my own thoughts and stare out the window. I think about my own life and how I feel like it’s being wasted. This cover is sad and hopefull. I feel life and death when I hear this. Right now I am unbalanced and this rightfully so is balanced with lights and heavy emotions.

[@toffykoala32]

I’m so sorry for the loss!

[@nicholasdyee]

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Thinking of you 💕

[@catherinec2149]

binary sunset has always been one of my favorites

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Same. And with a single cello it sounds even more powerful than the entire london symphony. The power of one.

[@greencupcakes1]

So beautiful! R.I.P Carrie x you are missed!!!!

[@MariVelvet_]

I play the cello too this is my fourth year! This is awesome 👏🏼

[@oceano9234]

i don't think i've ever seen or heard anything more beautiful in my entire life

[@haruntekin6724]

This is honestly why I play the cello

[@gsafinancialservices9645]

I cannot select a better medley and cello for a funeral ! Simply too much on point.

[@ulfurorarinsson345]

Holy moly across the stars sounded so beautiful... I'm shooketh.

[@nachotaku2656]

Sometimes when I feel discouraged, I always look back to this video and remember, the beauty and the sole reason of why I play the cello. Thank you Nicholas Yee.

[@lucie5280]

i literally cried during Across the stars

[@spencermorningdove5290]

I literally don’t know how anyone can dislike this video. This beautiful playing is enough to make a grown man cry... and that’s ok

[@nerfherder48]

The next time someone says star wars is all lightsabers I'm bringing them here.

[@MeredithHeller-k7t]

The force theme and across the stars was beautiful and so was leias theme.

[@jz41sd4]

Amazing. I'm a piano player but I feel that it isn't my real instrument of choice. The tones in the Cello are phenomenal, something you just can't hear on a piano, but you can feel on a cello! :)

[@noahjones9833]

jz415650 if you wanna do cello I recommend doing it, it's fun and it makes learning a guitar easier.

[@monodramalife]

The Strings I think violin was the instrument? I'm not exactly sure.

[@Kungfuiteki]

I can tell he likes Prequel so much! Awesome!

[@nicholasdyee]

You’re so right haha I love the music in the prequels (and those movies in general) 🙌

[@mr.octopus8767]

The force is strong with the cello

[@IvanAtli]

I don't understand what kind of person could dislike this, excellent job.

[@MaximilianEuler]

You played Leia's theme brilliantly in the end! Great video'

[@nicholasdyee]

+Maximilian Euler Music Thanks so much for watching until the end! The Princess Leia theme is my favourite.

[@typhoon37351]

Across the Stars is such a powerful piece.

[@adam_g.]

Wow. This is amazing! As a cello player myself, I understand what you're doing may look easy (you make it look so) but is in fact terribly hard. To have such great tone and excellent shifting is great to see in a cellist. Of course, I'm sure you have a very good cello and strings ($10,000+ by my guess) your pitch and rhythm is perfect. I subscribed and just wanted to tell you how much beautiful music like this is appreciated! You deserve millions of subscribers! Keep up the wonderful work!!

[@toffykoala32]

I play cello too this is INSANE SO BEAUTIFUL I envy his skill

[@nebul0s942]

I also play the cello, keep up the amazing work, I want to be as good as you some day.

[@cervinee]

i keep coming back, especially for the across the stars segment ,,, somehow so beautiful and so haunting at the same time. phenomenal

[@soulviolist6895]

OMG I'm crying ever since the first 10 seconds. This is amazing. My dreams is that I do a collab with you

[@JDTheLegend]

I’m at a loss for words!! It’s too powerful! I’m a dire hard Star Wars fan and for me this is just heaven! Honestly the best Star Wars score ever!

[@Lol-zu7pq]

Across the stars is beautiful

[@BrookTP]

Binary sunset is used in all the songs somehow. They flow like a matching piece to the puzzle all through that one theme. This is truly beautiful.

[@ashermain636]

Rest in peace, Princess. You will be missed...

[@adam_g.]

(Carrie Fisher)

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

We still miss her. Now and forever.

[@ryancello1565]

my 7th grade orchestra class was supposed to go to Disneyland and perform on stage lots of different Disney songs. I am in tears watching this. I play the cello and because I coronavirus my long 2 year await for the Disney trip, cancelled. This just reminds me of how powerful Star Wars music is and how meaningful the cello is. Thank you so much for the most beautiful cello music I have ever heard.

[@LVRDMEEL]

How could anyone dislike this??? Amazing !

[@matsmeyer1438]

Shame on them if the did because this is brilliant

[@rafaelbalsan4512]

Listening to this gave me the most sincere heartwarm of my life.

[@mauronovara4830]

Excellent ! Thank you for your art.

[@nicholasdyee]

Very much appreciated, thank you! 🙌

[@laurensouthall8848]

6 yrs and still listening to this masterpiece. Such talent repectflying playing classic star wars themes. Wish I could play as well. Amazing seeing you play ❤

[@toffykoala32]

Nicholas I know you probably won’t see this but you truly inspire me. I am a cellist and I can only aspire to be this good it is truly incredible how well you play. You also picked such impactful songs! It’s incredible. You are my cello role model. Congrats 👍👍👍😀😀😲

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much for the kind words, hope you're enjoying the cello 😀

[@toffykoala32]

OMG YOU REPLIED 🥰

[@toffykoala32]

Nicholas Yee I am!

[@leanna9486]

I've listened to this medley to study to for five years. not sure if I ever left a comment. thank you for your beautiful arrangements

[@screamingpiano]

Wow...you're such a dynamic and engaging performer to watch and listen to. Subbed in an instant 😊

[@nicholasdyee]

Thank you for the support :)

[@Avargatoth]

That moment when you feel thw shiver.... Absolutley beautiful.

[@ashleys2069]

Every note was felt, amazing

[@theresechristiansen9769]

Absolutely brilliant. Without a doubt the most inventive and inspired collection of themes from Star Wars. I've listened to this over and over and I'm now obsessed by the background. At first I thought the 'thing' in between the windows was a set of stairs. Then I thought, "no, it can't be: too steep." I've decided it's a steel girder? Am I right? Anyway, as a pianist and oboist (far too old for either now) I've played in many orchestras and watched SO many auditions for the music school I was a part of and your tone, balance, posture and passion is indelible. A profound impression of this theme -which will never get old.

[@nicholasdyee]

Thank you for the kind words and the interesting comment, Therese! The "thing" in the background between the windows is actually a steep set of stairs that goes up to a loft! Hope this gives you some satisfaction 😊

[@thxverymuch6962]

Unbelievable execution and passion

[@katgetscozy]

your imperial march arrangement has more depth and layers to it than any I have ever heard before.

[@annabellej.8047]

I love this medley so much. Always give me the chills. Im practicing hard on my cello Star wars skills.

[@sscorpiun6135]

How could anyone dislike this?

[@Florence1603]

I've just discover you! So emotional and very expressive while you're playing!! And "stars wars" is all my childhood!

[@monjkl12]

His ear is so red hahaha. But awesome music! Stunning.

[@DrSonus]

Josh Nicholson lol shutup you fuckin trashbag

[@edvinkarlstrom5672]

DrSonus Holy shit dude calm down

[@rosemariebriseno4606]

Hearing Leia's theme today on her 1 year anniversary brought chills down my spine. A beautiful theme for a beautiful person 😔

[@FaZeClAnFail-SlitherioAgarioan]

John Williams is the reason the cello is alive! (Other than Bach Cello Suite No. 1)

[@luigi7781]

FaZeClAnFail - Slither.io, Agar.io, and Anything *cough *cough 2cellos and piano guys *cough *cough

[@jvinclarence3977]

I play cello at my high school and love star wars like its my life. This was just so beautiful that it actually made me cry. I know it will take a lot more practice but I wish to be as great as someone like you.

[@danielle_jireh]

I LOVE LEIA'S THEME OMYGOODNESS IT'S SO GOOD

[@bailey2966]

Your music evokes so much emotion and passion. You are by far the best cello player I've seen on KZbin.

[@bamboo-3125]

This music piece along with your others has inspired me to continue Orchestra and play Cello along with my current instrument the Viola and get to the Piano. This Music piece that you have played was so beautiful.

[@zelvard]

This variant of "Across the stars" sound much better then original. I love it.

[@akramsyed2683]

Awesome! You deserve more subscribers!

[@nicholasdyee]

Haha I appreciate that 🙂quality over quantity though!

[@ameliaclauss4053]

I love the tones and sounds you're able to make with the cello.

[@Yoyomeyo]

Need my jacket now coz I've got shivers

[@JavieraMonroe]

this is way too beautiful to be real, i'm crying

[@nanamangaka516]

Very talented, congratulations!!I love Ciello solos!

[@EricOgletree1973]

With the passing of Carrie Fisher, the last part moved me more than usual. Thought it was very impressive. :)

[@carrolly2k]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@nicholasdyee]

+Jim Carroll Thank you for your support, Jim! It never goes unappreciated :)

[@vibingman5529]

Gives me chills every time I hear Nicholas play, even if I have no idea what track it's from, or what band. Lol

[@jukruhar94]

John Williams would be so proud!!!! This is just beautiful. Well done!

[@megamonkeyplaysmc2501]

i love this

[@razvan_3008]

5:05 is perfection.

[@oddorangeowl]

This makes me want to get into music again... played the flute for 8 years and recently stopped because I was missing the passion, but I definitely see it in you!

[@Livia-uz6li]

Please make more videos, because I love it.

[@clintonbowden7250]

You have brought peace to the galaxy me friend.

[@JiixBooks]

Absolutely beautiful 👏🏽

[@trentbukovich4109]

I played cello for 11 years and favorite thing from all of it and something I’ll carry with me my whole life is I knew all the Star Wars and pirates of a Carrbean songs

[@fernandoazevedomaiojr.2743]

OMG!!!! WTF... amazing the best cello ever!!!! where can I find this sheet song man??? the best ever was funeral theme combined with imperial march

[@wozzywolf7913]

nicholasdyee your so good 😊

[@SlimSpooky_Official]

Day 2,519 of listening to this, and it still hits like the first time.

[@mariaa560]

Wow just wow. Is it too late for me to try to learn how to play cello? lol 😭.

[@homerxciv3702]

It's never too late to learn something.

[@mathilden.3379]

+Maria Abraham Never too late, I just started doublebass :)

[@MaximilianEuler]

Do it! I recently started taking cello lessons for some weeks and it already works very well!

[@weetikniet7157]

me to :D

[@rmfriend4995]

well, I startedlike 10 years ago. xD But now I'm 15 and very proud of it. Just do it

[@chouchoune2164]

Wow! Two of the things I like the most, Star Wars and classical music. Thank you!

[@diegocorrales844]

The best in KZbin by far my fellow cellist! I am dying to know if you have any sheet music for this, whether it be paid or free. If it is your arrangement then maybe you could leave a link somewhere? I know it's a lot to ask but I am enamored by this arrangement.

[@ElloryFarr]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@nicholasdyee]

+Diego C.L Hi Diego! Out of curiosity, would sheet music for just the solo part be enough? Or were you wondering about all parts (this is an 8-12 part ensemble arrangement). Just want to get a feel for what people might be looking for.

[@diegocorrales844]

nicholasdyee thank you for your response! Including it all would be wonderful and ideal as people can either find the solos they like best, or mix tracks together. You said it was out of curiosity, but if you end up doing this that would be absolutely amazing.

[@nicholasdyee]

Wow such a fast response! I'll make sure to let you know once when it's posted!

[@diegocorrales844]

nicholasdyee Haha, I have my notifications set to all the channels I enjoy (yours being on that list), and Google Plus. I look forward to trying to play your arrangement, thanks for listening to your fans man, that speaks a lot about you.

[@AkulSaxenaAkulis2cool]

i'm so happy that I can say that I was there before there were even

[@gbz9580]

you make me fell in love with cello, dude.

[@ViolindEva]

Truly beautiful, much love from your new sub!

[@ALTERKNIT]

Across the Stars is easily the best of the themes for me.

[@CR0CUTA_]

instructor says not to vibrato, instructor does anyway lol.

[@CR0CUTA_]

probably because i play in an orchestra.

[@peeber405]

No vibrato??

[@ofeliarobledo9694]

kica thewolf omg lol vibrato is awesome i play cello here

[@nathanhunt9105]

So? Are they telling you not to vibrato because it makes you sound and look superior to everyone else? Vibrato can never be bad.

[@nwu655]

Letho Zykurous That's not true. There are certain situations where you should not use vibrato.

[@NerdStuffGaming]

Wonderful. Love these new variations of talented people recreating one of the best movie scores in history.

[@trailhiacabano7024]

Okay hold up. Okay let me breath boy hooo! Okay so I just discover that you are a Biomed student and a photographer? Like betch that something else! Hoooo you are some talented ass young man like dude I still procrastinate on an essay that's due tomorrow! Boy touch me and transfer that art and music stuff in me cause I need some of those. Hooooooo.

[@nikoladekovski4611]

The sound of the cello suits star wars music best imho.

[@yeyebreezy5829]

I played the cello in middle school, but after I graduated I have not picked it up since. What recommendations do you have for those who have not played an instrument in a while? Where can I find an inexpensive cello that is not bad quality? One day I would like to take the cello seriously but I don't know if I will be able to teach myself.

[@nicholasdyee]

My only recommendation is to be patient with yourself! Visit an independent music shop, try the cellos there, and just rent until you find one that you really like. Best of luck :)

[@bamboo-3125]

It's people like you that make the world a better place

[@trrblv3]

it would probably be good to find a teacher and get lessons

[@guitarboy1231000]

What Nicholas said, and practice the hell out of it. And if it hurts rest a bit. Playing through pain will do sooo much harm, I know from personal experience(I play guitar and I'm re learning cello as well!)

[@trrblv3]

guitarboy1231000 well it depends sometimes. Like it hurts plat until you start to get caluses on your fingers lol. But yeah most of the time take a break when it hurts
