Kingdom Hearts "Scherzo di Notte" (Hollow Bastion Battle Theme) Brass Quintet - March Caprice

[@optimal_key]

Scherzo di notte is my favorite piece of music period. Nothing else tops it for me. Im shocked and so happy you guys covered it. Its incredible. This is the first time ive heardthe theme in this key, or tone? ( Lol) And i love the spin you guys made to this theme by adding new elements to it. And even when you got to the main part of the theme, it stayed so accurate. (Which is apparently to hard for ppl who make piano versions of this song to be accurate to the in-game theme).this is definitely going on my playlist.

Hey, glad to hear we did your favourite piece justice! And good ear on the key too, ours is set in B-flat minor whereas the original is in B-minor. We did this because flat keys typically sound better on brass due to the way the instruments are tuned (and also because John Robert really has to sail whenever piccolo trumpet has the melody, so having it be a little bit lower is appreciated). We take liberties on a lot of our arrangements -- some moreso than others -- and we always try to do so in such a way that our interpretation pays respect to the source material, while still offering some original twists or ideas to those who are familiar with it. Happy you enjoy our version!

did you guys even heard the Grandia 1 theme? i think its the most wonderful orchestra i heard in my entire life. its called "Theme of Grandia"

[@savedsole3848]

I can’t believe that an awesomely epic piece of music such as this was titled “I joke at night”; what does that even mean, that you joke at night?

[@seychellesvictoria1567]

Scherzo in this context is most likely referring to the musical interpretation of the word, being a quick tempo and generally playful composition. This would change the meaning of the title to "Night Scherzo" or "A playful piece at night".

All it's missing is Haley Joel Osmund going "HYAAH! WAAH! HOO!"

[@thesilverw0lf]

Brilliant rendition of such a memorable theme, you guys nailed it.
