Venice Violins - Tomb Raider II - Piano Arrangement

This is my piano arrangement of "Venice Violins", a piece from the sequel to the classic 90s video game, "Tomb Raider." It plays in the Venice series of levels from the game when Lara is on the boat, exploring. Composed by Nathan McCree, it is no doubt one of my favourite pieces from the game and it seems heavily inspired by the classical works of Bach or Vivaldi.
I had so many memories playing this game when I was younger, and I was quite determined to learn this piece, so here it is, alongside some footage from the game. Enjoy! :D
(Piano recorded using Mixcraft 6 Pro and "Pianissimo Software")

[@NathanMcCree]

redngreen521 Well played. And a nice arrangement too. Well done! :-)

[@redngreen521]

Thank you sir! :D You are an inspiration!

[@maroanouadi9782]

lol, Lucky guy. Who ever think that Mr. McCree would watch your video.

[@ORIGINALFBI]

@@maroanouadi9782 Hes actually watched a lot of people play his music. I've seen a few videos where he commented

[@ricardoneves7307]

Thank you so much, Tomb Raider is a masterpiece and so is your musical creation, it means a lot to me and certainly to all who've played the games.

[@NathanMcCree]

@@ricardoneves7307 Thank you. You are most welcome. :-)

[@toprak3479]

You got Nathan McCree himself come here, listen and tell you that it's good. Damn... What else could you want...

[@sh-ig9fm]

And commander data as well

[@samuellong7530]

everybody's favorite sexy female archaeologist.

[@zakpalmer]

This is so awesome. I'm learning it today. I love the placement of Lara's "a-hah" half way through. Haha

[@RareHarmony]

Wow, it's just great. And congrats for getting Mr. McCree to comment here... that in and of itself is an accomplishment. Awesome job!

[@redngreen521]

@dream of void I just found out what the key was - D Minor and ended up playing most of it by ear as I'm not the best at sight reading xD but I believe you can find it on scribd, it's the only place I could locate it, and thanks! :)

[@sh-ig9fm]

1:33 Is it me or did I hear the in game water splash sound effect I can't tell if it's me or the video

[@gerontophil]

Wow , really great job . I never thought , it would sound that great on piano . I am not an expert but I dare to say it´s played almost perfect :)

[@EliasLeytonMusica]

I think.... how this video don't have more than 1 millon of views. you play each of the notes. awesome interpretation. sorry my bad English. I'm the player of the video "Tomb Raider 2 - Lara classical theme" and, i think... you play the correct notes.

[@redngreen521]

Haha don't worry about it and thank you very much! It's a fun piece :) The soundtrack is one of the many things that made this game awesome and Nathan McCree is a great composer.

[@tr4ever115]

wow nice...could you give me the midi or make a short tutorial how to play? Thanks for this great performance dude

[@edvingrootfaam8906]

Masterful performance! Do you think you could share the MIDI or sheet file? Would love to play this myself!

[@christianmendez2548]

Buenas noches que tal, la canción es magnifica, es un juego que lo he jugado desde niño, ahora de grande que tengo mi piano me gustaría tocarlo, Sera posible que puedas compartirme tu acorde o la partitura o como lo ha aprendiste????. Muchas gracias de antemano

Hello, so fancy of your arrangement, is there anyway possible that may I get a piece of your sheet music?

[@aliceszanari9510]

[@Teltharion]

Excellent, I loved that you included pieces of the game with the sfx, I wish I had my piano by that time to try and play it like you did. Congrats.

[@Happyfaceshock]

If Bach had written this, nobody would have batted an eyelid

[@cloudp1010]

amazing arrangement! very well played❤❤

[@shadow_ax]

This is fantastic! You obviously worked hard to do it so well. I didn't hear any errors whatsoever. 👍👍

[@ws-mitch3256]

You should create a patreon with your sheet music on there.

[@croft-tom1631]

You are awesome to include gameplay in this cover!

[@marcusdonat4647]

[@vandersweater]

easily the best piano rendition of this piece i've ever heard. bravo!

[@Arestra]

This is excellent. Would it be at all possible to offer a download to the clean audio? I.e. without the sound effects from the original game. I'd love to have this on my MP3 player :)

[@redngreen521]

I can sort that out for you shortly yeah, I have the WAV file on my computer.

[@FloydTheWolf]

+redngreen521 I'd quite be interested in this as well, if possible! I really love your arrangement, and I listen to it on a daily basis.

[@EnzoFoove]

Love your arrangement! Very faithful to the original with some nice additions for the keys.

[@LivingFreeTv123]

Oh MY!! I love you for posting this. Could I purchase the sheet music?

[@user-uw1vq9mc4y]

just marry me

[@tristanstadtmuller4874]

They brought this back in “Rise of the Tomb Raider”. This brings back memories of me playing this game. Hopefully, the studio will try and being this into the next film. Even if it’s just for a small part.

[@JoseManuelDiaz43]

perfect!!! well done, great sountrack and great game

[@redngreen521]

Jose Manuel Thanks, and I agree! It is an amazing composition for an amazing game! :D

[@soundseeker63]

This is really good! Did you do it by ear or find a score sheet for it? I loved doing those big jumps in the motorboat, one of the most fun parts of TR2!
