Here is my rendition of a popular Zelda theme, “Serenade of Water” on the piano. I’ve personally never played the game, but the music is simply beautiful. The original composer is Koji Kondo and the version I’m playing on the piano is an improvisation by Brett Moulton.
Sight reading is, unfortunately, not one of my strengths. I did my hardest to stick to the music on the page but as it often happens, I’m sure some of my improvisations have made their way into the piece. Enjoy!
Beautiful playing, Saya!
“Time passes, people move…
Like a rivers’ flow, it never ends…
A childish mind will turn to noble ambition…
Young love will become deep affection…
The clear water’s surface reflects growth…
Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself….” – Sheik
Thanks! Is the poem from the game? It sounds very cool!
Yes, the poem is from the Nintendo 64 game Ocarina of Time. There is a scene where Sheik teaches Link how to play the melody on his ocarina. Here’s a video of the scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlPij-6cXsE
Sheik (シーク) is actually princess Zelda in disguise =)
Such a peaceful piece. Your playing captures the mood superbly.
Thanks! 🙂
