The song that plays before everything goes straight to Shambala.

[@axlorg89]

Brb, gonna dance with Claude ❤️

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHA YESSSSS RIGHT ON

[@axlorg89]

The first one I s-supported, and well, you never forget the first one xD Also just had to say that the inspirations -you took into this is astounding! Absolutely adore the effort and directions you put into your arrangements.

[@purpleschala]

axlorg89 hahaha you certainly don’t! 😀 I was male Byleth and would have married Sylvain in a heartbeat if intsys weren’t such cowards lol!!! And thank you so much for the kind words, the 3H ost in particular is inspiring me to draw in all the things I love into these arrangements and it means a lot others enjoy them too! ❤️

[@our_illumination949]

purpleschala lol hey wait a moment, Sylvain only goes coo-coo for the ladies

[@purpleschala]

@@our_illumination949 actually in Flayn's supports it's clearly implied he's bi!

[@555redkid]

That moment when all of us male Byleths got teased by our straight boy...

[@michaelolegario6399]

I feel that... Honestly I think if it was both the JP and English VA's choice, they would let us romance Claude since they voiced him. Thing is he really does come off coded as pansexual if not bi. There are a bunch of "read between the lines" for guy interactions in the game unfortunately considering the girls of garreg mach get to be explicit and up front about their bisexuality in comparison. Joe Zieja was all for it and I'm sure the JP VA is too considering Claude's VA is the titular Yuri of Yuri on Ice and considering that show comes off more as a "normal" romance than fetishized fantasy, I would imagine his VA would be fine voicing an explicitly bi/pan Claude

[@Pollymichaelis]

I (male byleth) HONESTLY FELT SO BETRAYED THAT I CAN'T S SUPPORT CLAUDE

[@emmureee]

I nearly started crying that Claude wasn’t an option for s-ranking with male Byleth. And I told myself I wouldn’t get the game

[@michaelolegario6399]

@@emmureee There are a lot of aspects that make the game great though so I still think it is worth getting. However I won't deny the alienation from certain groups especially when same sex woman relationships get 5 quality relationships while the same sex men relationships are only 1 of quality with Linhardt. Of course recently they rectified it slightly with Jeritza, but he's exclusive to Crimson Flower aka Edelgard's route. The other 2 "S supports" are insulting. Gilbert and Alois are the only platonic S supports and even worse Alois is basically just the "best man" for a wedding with a random village maiden. Outside of that, Alois is a great character. Gilbert on the other hand... Not a fan even after getting to know him fully via supports and finishing all paths in the game.

[@emmureee]

@@michaelolegario6399 The game really is great. I'm on chapter 17 VW route, on the path to s-ranking Linhardt. But yes, those two platonic s-ranks really are upsetting. Jeritza's support conversations with Byleth are also kind of disappointing. I hope another MLM s-rank will be released, not exclusive to a certain path or maybe one of the main lords, if we're that lucky.

[@LMMotoss]

When I hear this beautiful song, all I can think of is dancing with Claude but no ending with Claude =( A treat as always

[@purpleschala]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@peacecrafttrue]

A perfect demonstration of why you're my favorite pianist. Exquisite work as always

[@purpleschala]

that's so kind of you omg. Thank you so much!

[@RoyalEmber]

Truly great cover. Now to cry in a corner that I'll never find sheet music for it on par with your quality :') For reals tho. It's great

[@purpleschala]

hahaha yeah sorry a lot of this was improvised, i don't have time to notate sheets, but Calary has a lot of high quality FE3H arrangements and I bet they have this one available on musescore!!!

[@jasmineb3421]

purpleschala Yes!! I highly recommend CalaryChennn really good sheets for many different games

[@ChrismanTheGreat]

As soon as you started adding your own flair to this I was immediately in love with this arrangement.

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much Chris!!!!!

[@Requinix17]

It does fit Claude very well. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving

[@purpleschala]

ahh i'm so glad you think so!! thank you, and happy thanksgiving to you as well!

I wasn't expecting the jazz bit with all the altered chords it's such a beautiful twist and overall wonderful arrangement

This is my favourite track from the OST, have been so excitedly waiting for your version!!! I also love Bill Evans, so this is a mash-up dream come true. Thanks for such a lovely rendition.

[@purpleschala]

aww thank you, I am so happy you like it, as you appreciate Bill Evans as well!!!!

[@syllamin]

I dreamt about dimitri last night so yah im here listening to this once more. u_u

[@Duhemsounds]

That's another beauty you have here, this one sounds relaxing and would make a great track for a live in a lounge bar :) VGM have a very wide range of ambiances

[@purpleschala]

Duhemsounds ahh thank you so much!!!! Haha that was what I was aiming for so I’m happy to hear that ❤️

[@monowoparaparakowasu]

I’ll never grow tired of hearing you play! It’s not just what you’re playing that I love, it’s the emotion you put into it. I adore it.

[@purpleschala]

that's so sweet of you to say omg, thank you so much!!!! It really means a lot!

[@lachesis3104]

This is lovely! The ball was amongst my favourite cutscenes, the best part being dancing with Claude XD Your covers never fail to impress and make me emotional as always :)

[@elenawong3536]

Anyone else picturing post-timeskip Claude taking Byleth's hand and making them sway through the ruins of the ballroom under the nightsky, joking about how he got ridiculously better over the years? I can't stop listening to this cover, it's impressive how you manage to appropriate all these songs, they all sound like enhanced official versions!

[@rhamesseion]

argh. you really have made it all claude's own. you keep turning tracks i think nothing of the first go into things to remember for a lifetime. thanks again

[@meaganb.5737]

Ahhhh! I love it so much! I've always loved the scene at the ball so hearing you make your own twist on it was a real treat! Thanks for making this!

[@slipperthrow]

Ahh.. Beautiful as always! I’m so glad I discovered you from twitter ^^

[@purpleschala]

omg thank you so much for following me!!!

[@sarahhong4737]

You. Are. Such. An inspiration. I just discovered your channel today through the fire emblem fodlan winds arrangement and I just fell in love with all of your arrangements. I freaking love how your channel is full of final fantasy/kingdom hearts/fire emblem/etc which is basically everything I love. I’ve always played piano but I never knew how to play the soundtracks since I always failed at making my own arrangements, but listening to you do it inspires me to try again! Thank you SO much, I hope you get more support! Love what you’re doing ☺️

[@purpleschala]

awwww

[@Rereicchi]

I found this pretty late... One of my favourite rendition of this piece... Thank you so much 🥲

[@purpleschala]

aw thank you so much!

[@yzap_]

so good to see you dancing while you play. I wish to be fluid like this, someday

[@olldo23]

Wow! Fantastic work! Not only was the first half beautiful, but the second half with the jazz elements was soooo good. Thanks for this!

[@purpleschala]

aww thank you! I'm so glad you liked it, i really enjoyed working on this one.

[@midori747]

That jazz addition makes this song so much better ! Great job 👍

[@purpleschala]

awww thank you!!!! I'm glad you think so!!! =)

[@throwscats]

Really pretty. I like to look away while listening to your stuff to see if it still sounds good (visuals distract a little, you know?) and it does. Really, really nice arrangement and playing--really classy sounding and soothing, too.

[@purpleschala]

ah thank you so much! yeah i'm actually glad to hear you don't really watch my vids because i can't be bothered to put any effort into them lol, i hate that making accompanying visual aids is a necessary evil in this day and age.

[@kamiiruru]

I always appreciate your arrangements and all the character study you do with them, it's honestly quite interesting to think about it that way and it makes the piece 2000% more interesting. Thanks for all the spicy chords ^v^

[@purpleschala]

omg thank you so much for the kind words!!!!!!

[@GoatFelon]

Absolutely love the arrangement (and the description too, haha)! Very nicely played. Relaxed, with just the right amount of spice

[@melchizedekpsj]

@@purpleschala You're very welcome!

[@iLikePiano]

Out of all these FE arrangements I've heard from you so far this is my favorite... Maybe it's because I like this style of jazz a lot, haha, this Bill Evans style...

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHA thank you, honestly this is probably one of my favorites I've done too lol. I really, really LOVE dabbling in jazz and Bill Evans is

[@tywo2]

the music touches my soul edit: this song is so beautiful omg

[@OstilMusic]

All these Three Houses covers...I really gotta buy this game and play it. For the music of course! Well I'm on my second listen of this. It's making me feel so lazy on this gloomy day at work. Amazing job as always! It never ceases to make me jealous of your skills. Happy American Thanksgiving! Aka...Black Friday sales for us Canadians. 😬

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! thank you so much, it really means so much coming from you, you really have nothing to be jealous of omg you're awesome!!!!! and 3H is an okay game, to be honest lol. the music is TO DIE FOR but gameplay wise, it could be tighter. but it's definitely one of the stronger modern FE games.

[@alvarodelgrande674]

I want to play as well as you one day

[@meeeeels]

lovely

[@ascetic3312]

The beginning seems more like something you'd hear in a jazz bar. Great cover.

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHA thank you!!! that was the idea lol!

[@treefrog2383]

this soundtrack is so pretty MMMHHHMMMMMH

[@jeffsmith1096]

LOVE IT ❤️

[@Sceptilian]

The beginning of this is the same as the beginning of the S Support theme from Awakening, titled "Haha! Yes, it will take some getting used to!" (Not joking). I really love how the games are connected, even just slightly, through the music.

[@afrosheenix]

Funny you mentioned Guaraldi in the description because I heard some Charlie Brown Christmas in there, which is extremely well done. Great stuff and you look nice as always.

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHAHA Guaraldi is awesome and i wouldn't be surprised if my subconscious mind pulled out some of his stylings from Charlie Brown Christmas, which is just so classic. Thank you!!!!

[@mac8124]

this piece would have to be the one i want to learn the most!! it's absolutely beautiful and i love the way you incorporated some bossa nova and jazz. if you ever decide to arrange this and sell the score i would gladly love to purchase it!!!

[@emmureee]

Come here, my Linhardt!

[@123ludwigvonkoopa]

Do you post your sheets anywhere? I’ve enjoyed multiple of your arrangements and would like to learn some! You sound amazing! I hope I come out of college closer to where you are now.

[@purpleschala]

ahhh thank you so much!!!! if you keep it at, you can only get better, so keep at it hahaha! And no i am sorry, it takes too long to notate sheets and a lot of what I play is not written down. Maybe one day when I have more time hahaha.

[@TrooperKid18]

oh my god.

[@connergeisler4095]

The one dislike ia from Sylvain who danced with himself at the ball.

[@catpella]

This is a fantastic cover and I love the way you've gone and changed it. It sounds like something characters would sway together to in a dimly-lit smokey bar while others sit at the polished wood and nurse their cocktails. I'm picturing Claude and Byleth dancing while Dorothea's getting her hair and dress ready to sing a future song...dunno who the club pianist is, though. I'm super-excited for the whole album when it hits Spotify/etc, will it be part of a group FE album or will you do like a mini 3Houses exclusive LP?

[@purpleschala]

AHHH!!!! i love that imagery so much!!!! YES to Dorothea being the bar singer, I'd imagine the pianist to be Raphael of all people lmao, though I don't have a good rationale behind that, possibly might be some subconscious Casablanca influence floating to the surface hahaha. And this will be a Three Houses exclusive album! Right now I'm at 13 songs, with about three more, hopefully four to be added and I hope to submit before Christmas hahaha!!! fingers crossed

[@catpella]

@@purpleschala I like the idea of it being Raphael, and Ignatz might be a candidate too! Someone with a trading background might know a bit about musical entertainment. Maybe a more bold Bernadetta if she's hiding behind a screen (maybe the pianist is hidden by an artfully painted screen so nobody can stare right at her?)

[@RetroPianist]

Wow, that was exceptional! Everything about that arrangement was perfect. I have to ask on behalf of pianists everywhere, do you have sheets available?

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much! I love your playing, your voicing your Schumann and Chopin is sublime, I love it!

[@purpleschala]

lol sorry I meant Bach not Chopin--got all confused with Carnaval hahaha

[@RetroPianist]

@@purpleschala Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your support! Hearing positive feedback from a pianist of your skill means a lot. I have a large number pieces that I'm planning on transcribing, but I will add this arrangement to the list in case I ever get the time to write sheets for it :)

[@michaelolegario6399]

Claude took my hand as Male Byleth too, but I had to do a future replay as Female Byleth to unfortunately get his Goddess tower. It was a sad day for my first GD playthrough. :'( I just pretend that "A" is an "S" support whenever I go Male Byleth now (Same with Dimitri). Well at least I have 1 more than Linhardt for them Bi supports now, that being Jeritza as an S support for Male Byleth. I love this arrangement though. I mean Claude did say he likes to dance and can do so, but a classic waltz that most nobles do isn't his forte so spicing it up was a good call. Edit: I also hope Joe Zieja sees this one. I think Chris Hackney tweeted/retweeted one of your FE3H covers months ago

[@AlisonClaires]

It's so lame that especially Claude isn't a bi option. He dances with you either way. I like male Byleth's design much better and would like all the House leaders to have been bi options.

[@purpleschala]

LOL A SAD DAY INDEED! I really don't understand why Lindhardt was really your only male-male option, not counting Alois and Gilbert who were basically your dad's friends and even then those S supports were so cowardly platonic!!!! If Edelgard was a bi option, Claude really should have been too. I'm glad Jeritza is though and at least it's a step forward from how badly Fates bungled the same sex supports. Thank you so much though, I'm so glad you liked this one. I really had fun with it, I mean my heart is forever with my Blue Lions boys but I do love that handsome, goofy bowman hahaha. And yes, Chris and Joe did RT me a few times, which was really nice of them! And I owe Christian La Monte (Ignatz) my life omg as he has constantly been sharing my stuff and done so much for my twitter in a month omg he is an angel

[@purpleschala]

Michael Olegario update: Zieja did indeed see this and told me he loved it so yay ❤️❤️

[@michaelolegario6399]

@@purpleschala Nice! Joe and Chris are such stand up guys! Plus I recently found out they are pretty musical too. I knew Joe could play instruments, but I also found out he can sing. I just imagined Claude serenading me as I high key fanboyed with his guitar and voice cover. Someone tweeted some fanart of Claude playing a lute for Byleth after she watched Joe Zieja's cover of a song on his youtube channel so I got curious and looked it up. I think the song is called "Windmills"
