DELTARUNE Orchestrated - Field of Hopes and Dreams
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Man, this was one tough track to produce. I spent more time on this than all the other deltarune tracks combined! Not that this piece was particularly difficult conceptually, but it uses a musical style I am unfamiliar with, and getting it to sound good enough forced me to finally learn how to mix better.
UA-cam user "I'm Very Angry it's not Butter!!" (yes that whole phrase is the username) suggested I try to incorporate a bit of Irish Jig into the piece, which I thought about and decided it would be a good fit. I did a bit of research on the instruments used, and listened to a lot of Irish/Scottish folk music, as well as similar sounding music, like Rend Collective, Hiroyuki Sawano's soundtrack for Seven Deadly Sins, and Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers soundtrack. I learned that Jig music is normally 6/8 time, while Scottish Reels use the 4/4 common time, which fits Field of Hopes and Dreams' time signature. While I incorporate some trademark elements of Irish Jig and Scottish Reel, I hesitate to designate my music as that style, as I am all over the place with my arrangement.
Breaking down the original track, there are three distinct parts: the establishing beat, the main deltarune theme, and the bridge solo. The rhythm is easily my favorite part of the track, and hearing the percussion come in while playing deltarune for the first time was just sublime - a much stronger first impression than Undertale's opening. And naturally, this is the area I played around with the most, as the repeating rhythm and motifs could be extended as long as I want, unlike the melody of the second and third parts. It is here where I added the fiddle violin. The solo violin I was using was not designed for fast fiddle playing, and I had to tweak the legato articulation to get it sounding close, and my violin playing friend did not have enough time to practice this piece. Next time I'll plan ahead! I created a simple phrase and tried my hardest to jam it everywhere in the track. When you hear it, it's your cue to drop everything and dance! However, with that said, my favorite part of the arrangement is still the middle main theme portion. It's just really catchy!
The setup for the Irish Jig / Scottish Reel sound is as follows. In addition to the fiddle violin, I used the mandolin, accordion, tambourines, Bodhran drums (Irish frame drums), accoustic guitar, cajon, and Kick drums. When mixing the percussion, I supplemented the Cajon/Kick drum beats with a regular drumset. I designed the space of the instruments by placing the Jig/Reel instruments in the front of the stage, with the orchestra behind them. I believe the final sound is much more balanced than the previous THE WORLD REVOLVING track. Because I want to preserve the awesome beat of the track, I finally went to learn and practice how to mix percussion correctly. A common complaint with my arrangements is that everything sounds a bit flat, and a big reason for that is that the drums are never punchy enough. And so here I am utilizing all the techniques I learned: Parallel EQ'ing, Parallel Compression, Saturation, Triggering. I still haven't fully mastered the technique, but I am improving!
Deltarune Orchestrated will be available on iTunes/Spotify upon completion of the album.

When the fiddle came in at 0:16, I knew I was gonna be in a special ride. A true remake like no other.
Getting the violin legato to sound right is one of the hardest parts of composing electronically, and you nailed it amazingly.
Your mixing and EQing improved by miles. Putting the Irish-jig instruments in the front was a great decision in terms of space.
And the accordion. WOW! It fit so beautifully in the mix.
In terms of the arrangement itself, it is just fantastically beautiful. The instrumentation was perfect, and your artistic choices of Irish timbres are what made this cover truly special. And I couldn't help but almost start dancing around 2:00. A jolly addition! The punchy drums were spot on!
Like what another comment mentioned, your sub count is CRIMINAL. I think I may have an idea to change that soon, as well as help many underrated orchestral makers for Undertale and other video games... I'm gonna get back to you soon.
I was looking for your comment
Sully, I admire your willingness to give constructive criticism in a day and age that avoids it. And I agree, this is absolutely amazing!
Sully Orchestration Who doesn’t Love a bit of Irish in the mornin?
how much did this channel grow since your "plan"?
@@tCoL_corp It didn't. The algorithm screwed over everyone.
Those violins are so hecking amazing they watered my crops, fed my people, and cured my cancer.
THEY DID?!
Do my crops lie, sir?
@@sephnitomsol2294 no, they are standing
As they should be. The violins have blessed me with another year of bounty!
Don't you mean, they cured your LANCER?
The fact that you have less than 20k subs is actually criminal, keep up the amazing work
Edit: He's done it
He's not far!
Wtf you're right I was so sure he head more than 100k for some reason 0.0
It's a mystery
I know, right? People try so hard to make something nice but it often goes completely unnoticed. I've made an orchestral version of FOHAD myself, although it's nowhere near this good.
@@Official_Proxy i appreciate your time and creativity on music
_-that's a lot of damage-_ *_that's a lot of talent_*
I like this comment even though it features a dead meme.
your pfp...what
@@RileyNiko You're going to have a much bad time.
Wtf, that pfp is creepy xD
2022 XD
I'm honored that you credited me for my (admittedly tiny) contribution to this amazing final product.
Here's to 20K subs, and beyond! 🍻
🎊🎉🎆🎇✨
a fantastic suggestion by the way
Music is one of the hardest things to get yourself recognized in. You're doing an amazing job with your music and keeping it "your" style. This time next year, you'll have 100k subs. Promise you that.
Ikr. I know this one youtuber who does a lot of original work that goes by "Peercrane." His stuff is amazing but he's got like zero recognition, and he's probably about as good as Gooseworx. In fact I think it was a Gooseworx tumblr post that led me to him.
When Link's Awakening comes out I think he'll get more attention on his arrangements of that soundtrack, too
100,000 subscribers by next year is quite a bold promise...
3 months left
I'll look that day, hopefully you'll be right.
Nay! I am not late to this arragementte! The Second Narrator merely publishedeth this remix far too early. A duke like me iseth neverre late!

Hey there, Rouxls!
this is probably one of my favorite orchestrations of yours!
Holy crap! The instrumentation on this one is just fantastic, the percussion is perfect, and the added Irish jig sort of accompaniment actually made me get out of my seat and shout "Yes!!" because it just suits the track so well. Absolutely phenomenal work on this one!
Why did i read the title as "Hopes and firearms"?

The fact that ralsei is wearing a tunic makes this even more irish
I was listening to your Chaos King cover earlier and was saying to myself "huh, I hope he uploads the Field of Hopes cover soon."
My wish was fulfilled - I'm glad that you put so much effort into your music. It instantly became my favorite rendition of the track as soon as I heard the strings at about 0:15.
(Perhaps tied with Sully)
These covers are genuinely awesome, aren’t they? I just wish he/she would let us know what he’s doing. I may have freaked a bit with the radio silence...
@@ZorillaMyrid181 TSN usually takes a while with his covers, so I wasn't really worried. Maybe give it a few weeks and I would have started getting concerned...
MediaMotifs ah, my bad. Thanks for letting me know
I apologize for my inconsistency. A track usually takes about 20 hrs of work, and I have to squeeze it into my free time. I also want to do some shorter tracks, and maybe piano covers to pad out the channel, but every track I do I have to be passionate about
The Second Narrator no worries, just make sure you let us know if something is going down. Smaller pieces sound like a good idea to fill the gap, but with all the effort put into each piece, I honestly don’t know why I thought you’d upload fast. But yea, just let us know if something goes wrong or something. (And I LOVE your work! I’ve never heard anything like it!)
This is good. Can we get scarlet forest next?
Yes!!! That would be awesome!
*_yes please_*
Guess what? He's working on Scarlet Forest. He seems to be having trouble with it though. Something about the tempo not being his style or something, I don't know. That's why it's taking so long.
It's done
@@thesecondnarrator holy crap, I didn't realized, I will finish breakfast and get my headphone! Thank you!
Tells a story, like all good music does. Enthralling.
The Celtic feel is breathtaking!! You took this in a direction no one else has, and I appreciate the creativity!! This track is beautiful!!!!!!!!!
*The Second Narrator -* Doesn't even have 50,000 subscribers
*Me -* Wait, that's illegal
my channel is a hidden gem
Down to Earth is the better term for that.
Well hes reached half of that
Tell your friends, he doesn't sell ice creams but high quality music. Help reach 100k and offer him the UA-cam Trophy, make Mettatton jealous with 10 times his score!
5 YEARS LATER STILL GOES HARD 🗣🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥
1:35
I never expected a cromatic ride of ALL the instruments here :D
Yor are so fucking creative and brilliant. I hope you will see one of my comments.
This is honesty amazing! The music has so much rhythm and personality like when that violin/fiddle came in I LOST IT! This cover is so amazing it's so surreal and this almost seems fanasty Like! I love the style you chose for this piece! It's truly astonishing and I can't say much more because Sully already covered it all ;) anyways I love this music! I found it by mistake while listening to some other UT covers, but I'm glad I did! Enjoy a new subscriber!
Oh my, that sounds different than I expected. I've created an orchestral version of FOHAD myself and this is a pretty fresh take on it. It has parts that weren't in the original composition. Nice job making it original.
Wait...
THIS DUDE *ONLY* HAS 21K SUBS?!
So Kris has so much Determination, that any enemy that approaches him immediately disappears? Seems legit.
No! That 1 Dislike should be removed from existence.
Ok this is epic
Jeez, is there any track you CANT do? I mean, Susie/Vs. Susie might be challenging, seeing as how they're entirely electric guitar, but aside from that, I genuinely think you could orchestrate the whole thing! Props as always, and see you next song!
He can do anything
@@andrewborders5739 yes, he can do anything.
The power of the LIKE BUTTON shines within you.
WOW. This sounds like a real band played it! I really liked the part at the very beginning - and I was satisfied when the build up went into something amazing!
I feel like if Deltarune were made into a show, this would be the trailer music for chapter one, or episode in that particular situation
Это были великолепные почти восемь минут!
Спасибо вам за этот шедевр!
While this may have gone in a different direction from the first Work In Progress, this is still absolutely stunning. I'm in awe at the beauty that is this track. I can see why you spent several months on it, and I can assuredly say that it was well worth the wait!
my guys been pumping out bangers for years and only has 30k as of this comment
WE ARE BACK.
You're doing a phenomenal job right now and I feel like momentum is going to come right your way.
EDIT 1:
And so are the edits.
Edit 2:
All of you should check out his Link's Awakening re-arrangement album.
"You may not find the result favorable"
Ralsei... literally nothing major happens if you fight your way through the game. I love ya, buddy, but kindly shush your face.
The ending actually slightly changes depending on whether or not you spare even a single enemy.
I was worried how did you not update any deltarune remix recently considered how much you did for Undertale and now, here we GO :-)
Sometimes, this reminds me of Brave, from Pixar.
You did a great work!
I like it. It got that early Squaresoft game vibe to it, like Secret of Mana.
I got more of a Legend of Mana feel
Yes, another fantastic orchestration ^w^
I don't think I've ever said this in my life: Nice use of accordion! You blended the up tempo orchestra with Irish/Scottish Folk really well. I love this song and your arrangement does it justice. Thank you!
This just cured my ligma
This entire orchestration is fantastic, but the part that starts at 1:28 really hits the nail on the head for me. That driving percussion, that accordion (or whatever the instrument being used to play the primary melody is), that beautiful little counter-melody at 1:35 - it all just really comes together in an amazing way. S-tier stuff for sure!
The use of accidentals in this song is absolutely wonderful
Is it just me or does 2:30 sound like "Time is a place" from Finding Paradise?
That's a surprising coincidence xD
3 years later... and it's still UNDERRATED!!! This needs more views
Can you make an orchestral cover of Checker Dance?
Jeez. I shed a tear within the first two minutes. I'm a pretty emotional dude but music almost never makes me cry.
This is wonderful.
this remake is so good 5years later when i stumble apon it i dont even think its hopes and dreams
What a nice remix, it feels like a natural evolution of the source song, which is something that is difficult to pull off. Well done!
This was a pleasent surprise. Everything I love about the original score is here, but it has so much more... like, determination to it with great new measures added. I am not sure how high I would place it in comparison to the actual song since that song is already amazing, but it is definately among the best remixes I have heard of it.
This is... Something else. I mean, I dont even know where to start. This is just so great. The fiddle is amazing. I really liked the thing you did around 1:35 to 1:36 ish. And the percussion. I didn't even know I was missing something until I listened to this. Fantastic all around.
Now, I wonder...
How would an orchestrated Checker Dance play out? :3
Ahoy, Ye Fluffy Boy!
this is so good.. you cooked...
Parts of it sound like something you'd hear in a tavern. Absolutely wonderful cover.
Deltarune The Movie🛡🗡🎥🎬👍✨
this gets me even more hyped up for when Deltarune fully releases!
I never thought about it but the Darkner society IS fairly medieval. You make a good point!
Have you ever thought about doing dreamland or fountain of dreams?
This makes me very happy.
Susie and Lancer are the 2 dislikes
This song has been kind of a wild ride for me. Discovering Toby Fox and all of his music through Undertale is highly satisfying but also interesting - the melodies and way he puts music together reminds me a lot of melodies I've thought of in my head. I think many can relate to this - Toby Fox has a magical way of putting his melodies in mind to actual instruments and notes. After hearing most of his music and discovering Fields of Hopes and Dreams, it felt like I had reached the summit of his melodic brilliance because this song in particular has that remarkable rhythm that makes the pace of the melody so much fun to listen to. It's tireless - I can't think of how many times I've listened to this tune. And I can't say that about much music, period!
That brings me to this remake. The level of creativity taken is at an elite level. You really searched far and wide for the right fit of natural instruments to bring about the same feeling of DETERMINATION that the original hits on so hard. And you've done it here with adding in a unique take on some of the parts of the song. None of it feels out of place - the accordion is a natural fit for the saxophone and helps glue together the constant driving drum beat with the piano and violin. While I adore the sax in the original, it seems like the accordion fits better with the overall lighter feeling from the natural instruments, especially the strings. It still drives that feeling of resolution, that you're going to get through this without a fight NO MATTER WHAT, which is what the sax did well too.
The other thing I want to mention is the sound quality and the mix is spot on. Whatever you're using to balance each instrument and the stage, keep using it. You have a great ear for sound quality. I find a lot of "amateur" (I put quotes here because, this is NOT amateur.. this is pro level) mixes don't sound great on my hi fi at home. Yours always do.
I love it. Thanks for making this. It brings me a lot of joy to listen to because it's a perfect blend of video game and orchestra. I can't wait to hear more of your stuff.

A bit of Irish never hurt anyone
bro wtf i havent subbed as fast i have in a longggg time. great work. im sad im only hearing this now. heres to the algorithm!
also i love the breakdown you provided. superb
This song has so, so many good memories. I know it hasn't even been a year since this video was uploaded, but god. I first heard this song (stupidly enough) when I was playing Roblox and one level reminded me of the original song. So I looked it up on UA-cam and found this absolute masterpiece. I was on the phone with my (now) boyfriend, and he liked it too. So now whenever I hear it, I just get chills all down my spine and butterflies in my stomach. Thank you so much for sharing your impeccable talents with the world
Absolutely amazing! The power of amazing music shines within you!
This is amazing, I instantly pointed out Irish Jig in the first drums and concluded that this arrangement is the bomb. Great job!
Field of hopes and sea shanties
the perfect song doesnt exi......
I stand corrected
i feel a medieval type of song from this for no reason especially in the beginning
Thank you for this wonderful piece! I absolutely love listening to it.
You are an insanely skilled musician. Both this and The Legend cover that you made are utterly brilliant. Please keep up the superb work.
1:12 you missed a part
So gorgeous, so perfectly arranged! The Celtic feel is just what it needed!
But uhh.... what's with the very artificial-sounding & jarring down-transposition at sections like 1:35? Like ya just accidentally pulled the tone down there on all layers (cat got on the keyboard & you didn't 'Undo' far back enough?), or put your finger on a playing record to slow down the speed or something? I'm sad that those awkward moments are marring this otherwise stunning, absolutely magnificent & otherwise flawless piece.
I know it's been a few years, & you've done amazing work since then. Still, ow, my heart falls a bit at those parts, even though the rest of the piece lifts me back up. A net positive, at least.
The ideal Credit music if Deltarune was a movie
1:13 you're welcom
The violins lend some unexpected but surprisingly wholesome swashbuckle-y vibes to this track.
OMG I live in Ireland so this just makes me feel at home!😍🇨🇮
Didn't like it at first, but HOLY FUCK THIS IS GOOD
You know, if there's a deltarune movie, this has GOT to go in! There's just something special about it and I know we can all feel it. Good Job!
I love the Celtic approach you took, it makes this cover stand out compared to some others I’ve seen.
0:16 This part reminds me so much of “Fire Island Volcano” from Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
I love how happy this song gets, puts a smile on my face :)
I don't know why, but the orchestration makes me imagine a forest full of fairies dancing and doing their things all lively and happily around all kinds of other mythical beings ^^
that violin kinda reminds me of one of the 7 deadly sins' songs
yes, i was trying to emulate that!

Ngl, Field of Hopes and Dreams isn't my fave of the Deltarune biome songs, but this remix... it's fantastic!
UA-cam needs to advertise channels like this more then those crappy corporations
Agreed, it would help us little guys out too.
Damn 5 years later I’m just now noticing those violins at 0:16 have the same pattern as “sleep walking orchestra” from bump of chicken
I can't put into words how incredible your orchestral covers are.
Glad you listened to Rend Collective for inspiration! 👌 Also cool to see you take constructive criticism from The World Revolving! Really shows how good a musician you are
But how something like THAT can exist ?
People always say perfection doesn't exist !
They're all liars ?
Reminds me of PSMD in a way!
Yeah, sounds like Fire Island Volcano
The Second Narrator Hey, one musician to another, If I were you, make sure you know what mode the piece you're writing/arranging is in. There are certain sections where you use the Aeolean mode (minor, flat 6th (E-flat)), which is what the original song/piece is in from the game; I don't recall any E-naturals. You had a tendency to slip into the Dorian mode by mistake (with a raised 6th (E-natural) which is especially prevelant in your added violin solos). If you're going to use that violin solo, I would've transposed that up a fourth so it's in the normal G minor key. right now it sounds like D minor against G minor and it really starts to clash sometimes. (Please know that i'm telling you this to help you. I hear a lot of talent out of this arrangement of yours. I don't give criticism to everyone).
Edit: And if anyone asks, yes, I realize i'm a huge music nerd. I do go to school for this afterall.
This is AWESOME
I have a question, can i use it in a video? (Obviusly with credits and the link of your original video)
wonderful... beautiful, exciting! ❤️✨💫
