  • "New Messiah" from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
    "Aquarius" from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
    New Messiah composed by Hidehiro Funauchi,
    Aquarius composed by Hidenori Maezawa, Jun Funahashi, and Yukie Morimoto,
    Castlevania by Konami.
    The arrangement of New Messiah is inspired by the remix from Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, remixed by Manabu Namiki.
    The second half of the arrangement of Aquarius is inspired by the "Travel Demon" heavy metal medley (best Medley ever!) from S.S.H. aka. Saitama Saisyu Heiki, visit www.ssh.ne.jp/
    This would have been the beginning of the second medley. I have to move on from that at the moment so I thought I'd just record it and put it up before I forget how to play it. The recording isn't that great, either. Enjoy it for what it's worth.

    I love that before you go into Aquarius, you play Aquarius with your left hand while still playing New Messiah with your right.

      hey, thank you for writing your comment! glad to hear you enjoy listening to these arrangements. sadly i still don't have sheets for this, and for this one, it's gonna be hard to make them because i have no midis saved from the stuff i made on this piano. with that said, it's still my goal to make a castlevania piano medley 2, and this would be its beginning. so as soon as that happens, there's gonna be a better chance for sheets hopefully. cheers!

    If you can find a midi file of it you can use something like MidiNotate to make sheet music from it. It won't be this exact arrangement (unless someone made it into a midi, which would be awesome) but once it is in the MidiNotate software you can edit it how you like. There is other similar software, but MidiNotate is the one I used that works.
