Transcription || Twin Peaks: Angelo Badalamenti explains how he wrote Laura Palmer's Theme [piano]

[@jandospace]

R.I.P. Angelo Badalamenti, his music is so haunting and mysterious yet so beautiful.

[@emilyc5505]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is genius.

[@mellotron_scratch]

You mean 2 of them?

[@RegulusBlues]

This may well be my favourite video on all of KZbin.

[@666gorewhore]

Isn't it beautiful man. Makes me cry

[@gregcoleman6670]

Just saw it and was thinking the very same thing.

[@chairsmissing]

Beyond devastated. RIP Angelo!

[@rawadosa90210]

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

It still gives me goosebumps after spending days on editing it! Ö

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

God lord... Jesus! That's two geniuses at work.

[@bokaboka4675]

to this day my favorite video on the internet

[@calico_rackham]

“Angelo, that’s Twin Peaks”. I cried, and I swear at some point I felt unconfortable, hearing two geniuses working together made me feel so “normal” but in the end I’m greatful I had the pleasure to see that masterpeace. And Angelo, you made Italy proud of you ❤️

[@cinemacola6398]

This is so inspiring and I can visualize every single detail he describes.

[@lashajakeli]

this is the most beautiful Segway in all music history that i know of...

[@baileyderose7776]

ive watched this like 30 times but its so good.. i can visualize the scene in my mind every time and its so beautiful. i feel like watching this makes one truly appreciate twin peaks. like, this moment and this song is exactly what david lynch was envisioning as the sole mood of the whole show.. mysterious, emotional, completely encapsulating.. its BREATHTAKING!!!!!

[@Vpukka]

we are in the dark woods now. there is a soft wind blowing through some sycamore trees and some animal sounds in the background. you can hear the hoot of an owl... from behind the trees, in the back of the woods, there is this lonely girl. her name is Laura Palmer, and it is very sad. she is coming closer. she is getting close. now she is starting to leave... back to the dark woods, very quiet and mysterious.

[@marcojacinto6454]

That is so beautiful and so sad... There's this little light of hope, enveloped in deep oceans of loneliness and despair. Nobody will ever see that pretty light shine through... It’s just too late.

[@gregcoleman6670]

This is extraordinary! The simplicity of the creation of a legend can only be achieved by artists of the highest order.

[@TomCasey]

Thank you for putting in the time to make this. Incredible.

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

You are absolutely welcome :D Thank you! :)

[@neoaureus]

I heard this and I cried in joy an in beauty I cried in joy and in the beauty of being alive, and being lucky to have twin peaks a part of my youth....and now I cry not knowing what beautiful things man would create long long after I will be gone....

[@watchdog304]

The music and show are perfect for each other.

[@rubenming]

Seeing Angelo flowing and creating with the piano it's a nice mesmerizing experience.

[@exoxophanie4363]

I’ve watched this so many times

[@arinjoybasak8259]

[@igulla666]

Rest in Peace Angelo ❤

[@anaoldies]

I just loved this vídeo....i love Twin peaks, david’s stuffs and films song of angelo . It makes me cry. Now i need to learn this transcription on piano. (And i’m not a pianist but i Will) Thank you .

[@666gorewhore]

I cry every time i hear this story. There's something about how he tells it man. It just rips my heart out

[@bernyboss]

Che meraviglia. Ciao Angelo… 😭😭😭

[@hermanni3444]

R.I.P. , he was such a great and versatile composer

[@NikolajStavroginKeyboard1]

This piece represents the definition of Kant of the "sublime". Ineffable. One of the best compositions ever written in the entire history of music, especially for what it means, because this piece describes the essence of life. Angelo is a gift of a superior entity, it is not possible.

[@0live0wire0]

It's great, Badalamenti is a master. Some of the best film music definitely, but let's not get carried away. I mean there are composers like Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Debussy, Ravel, Saint-Saens, Stravinsky, Shostakovitch, Bartok to name a few. That's what I call a tough crowd. It's really hard being a contemporary composer and measuring up to the greats.

[@NikolajStavroginKeyboard1]

@@0live0wire0 Totally agree, I sweated a bit piano and then I also listen to classical music, and I can't but agree with your words, on all those you mentioned I think Bach comes first, personal opinion, even if it's impossible assign the primacy to none of those composers, all of them immensity. On Badalamenti I meant that this passage, for the meaning inherent in it, is one of the greatest ever composed, for me it represents the essence of life as understood by Leopardi, for example.

[@malthusanem]

Amazing to see him say those words after I heard that footage so much on Nicolas Jaar's essential mix. Unforgettable opening.

[@sandyprimus9831]

Bravo Angelo, its good how you and David work so well together .

[@teamyordle23]

Wow amazing just amazing. Hearing how David and Angelo made Laura Palmer's theme as he plays it is such a beautiful moment. I'm happy this video exists.

I teared up during the climax, I so want to watch Twin Peaks, I wonder if it’s on blue ray already. I’m so happy these two geniuses found each other to create this masterpiece.

[@RegulusBlues]

RavenPoe1849 - I just got done watching the whole thing, it looks AMAZING in HD. Fire Walk With Me and its deleted scenes are also included.

[@mistermista2927]

If you haven't got it yet, the UK release is dirt cheap and is region free so it'll play on every blu-ray player. I ordered mine on Amazon for just $25 including shipping.

[@ρακούν505-λ6ψ]

what a nice video..can someone tell me how he goes from cm to C ? judging from the notes he is using for the melody tho in that part he plays E-F-G and A# so...?? did he went from cm to b harmonic minor ? can someone explain ?

[@TedMackey]

My two cents - I hear the modulation from C minor to C major in b. 13-14 as a sort of bVII - I over pedal C, with the prominent D natural in bar 13 leading us nicely into the tonic major. The C major - E major tertiary modulation (and then in turn the next move to F minor) are all kind of rooted in the reinterpretation of “Ab” (which isn’t unexpected as we’ve just been in C minor) as G#, to go to E Major, and then back to Ab in bar 18 (but in the key of F minor as opposed to C minor). Then the resolution back to C major for the climax is a lovely iv-I cadence, with a similarly prominent D natural to E natural movement as in bb. 13-14.

[@yasal9387]

[@alexchancock]

Kind of full of himself. Lovely changes but too enthusiastic in describing the reaction. If I was a genius I reckon I'd be less boastful.

[@Amethyst_Friend]

He is not a genius. He describes with enthusiasm to capture the magic of those moments. His musical imagination perfectly synergised with Lynch's visual imagination.

[@fraser_mr2009]

he is close.... he came up with a theme in 4 minutes. what makes a genius is the magician coming up with his own material on the spot and it standing the test of time. copying other work is easy. the imagination.... also listen to other themes from the 80s, they don't hold up anymore, they belong in the 80s.
