    I've always liked the way your videos take us through the process. It's not just "Here's a song I arranged" or "this is what I learned" you take us with you through the research process- how you learned it and show all the details, what was easy and what may have been a little tricky. Thank you so much for sharing!

    When the Final Arrangement was revealed , I just cried . I had a pretty bad 2020 and had doubts of 2021 being a good year . But this song gave me hope and inspiration to move on and to remember the beauty of music and the moments i share with people ! This is wonderful ! lots of lve to Nahre Sol and the rest ! This is a Life Changer and for the better !

  • @andrewfortmusic
    @andrewfortmusic Před 3 lety +27

    This arrangement is breathtaking in the purest sense. I don’t think I dared to breathe during the entire thing for fear that I’d miss a note. Captivating and lovely work, Nahre! You’re an inspiration to young composers like me!

  • @PrinceWesterburg
    @PrinceWesterburg Před 3 lety +5

    The BBC had someone writing music very like this in the 80s and early 90s. Not easy writing but simple to the ear - rather like Menuhin saying about Gypsy violinists "How does one write this down?!" I'm rather touched that you got this wonderfully relaxed and natural sound in the box. I love it!

    Nahre, the stilted portrayal of the back and forth collaboration between you and your good friend Julius Meltzer was hysterically funny. Your humor disarms and draws us in. Your art soothes and inspires us. I think I can say that for at least your ½ million plus subscribers, you have achieved your stated goal of ‘spreading enthusiasm for music’. (the world is so much better because you’re in it!) Thank you!!!

  • @KarlRKaiser
    @KarlRKaiser Před 3 lety +18

    Arranging is an excellent way to strengthen all aspects of composition, by showing us how much we have to work with *around* the melody and the general harmonic structure - voicing, instrumentation, rhythmic drive, dramatic ebb and flow, playability per the given ensemble or solo instrument... I play piano and like to sing songs like this but I cannot play at the same level of musical elaboration if I ALSO have to sing at the same time, so I arrange or improvise differently depending upon whether I am the singer.

  • @BambooOnFire

    I am not formally trained and just know how to sequence music using a DAW and synthesizers/samplers but I love learning the intricacies of how to compose formal music because there's a lot that can be applied to other types of music.
    Thanks for sharing it's a lovely piece!

  • @friedlotto
    @friedlotto Před 3 lety +1

    Ms. Sol you have a gift to make exquisitely delicate sweet desserts out of whatever is left in the compositional fridge. This was apparent in your submission for “5 Musicians, 1 Scale”.
    But in this case the musical fridge was exceedingly well stocked by Mr Romano, and you appear to have lucked out with a Michelin-starred sous-chef in Mr. Meltzer.
    Synergy indeed.

    “The melody has never finished and never started” is so inspired! Danke! And the collaborative arrangement of the theme is above and beyond the original yet is an instrumental variation OF it. So the “work” is the ongoing multi-phase unfurling of an idea...which viewers of this video will no doubt improve-ise on their instrument at home or who knows how the life of this tune will go on but certainly IT WILL. Thank you for sharing the wealth.

    Been following your videos for a while and it's become a real inspiration for me to play and compose on piano. You have such beautiful melodies and harmonization ideas so keep it up Nahre.

    Thank you for this wonderful material. When I heard the first arrangement I was so disappointed...but when I got to the final version my heart was smiling. This is really a Labor of Love.
