Gabriel Knight Piano Medley (Sins of the Fathers, Beast Within, Blood of the Sacred..) | Katja Savia

- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- In this dark piano episode, we are delving into Sierra On-Line's chest of voodoo, werewolves, and vampires: soundtrack music that will live forever. If you never played this game series, no worries. It's a growth story. The main character Gabriel Knight grows with the help of his friends and through love that sadly never gets fully fulfilled.
The number of tears I cried when I was creating this piano medley, playing, and recording the songs. All the memories flooded my mind and how much I have respect for the music. The music is unique - it’s proudly bold and different.
Thank you to Michael Anderson for gifting me with the Schattenjäger amulet!

Hey you! I’m Katja Savia. I'm a modern noir/night artist meaning that my music and art are centered on dark themes of life. I'm also passionate about game music. My music style is a mash-up of jazz, musical, new age, electronic and country, and of course 100% organic singing with nuances and mistakes. I upload on Fridays and there might be some silly or extra videos here and there.

"What do you know about...voodoo?" Absolutely lovely medley dedicated to a series that doesn't get nearly as much love as it should!
Yeah, that has been asked many times... ;) Thank you Zarinah! I'm very happy you enjoyed this :)
"Cabrit sans cor" The OST from this awesome games are something even better and bigger than the games itself. No matter if you don't like the FMV stile of the second one or the 3D scheduled from the third one. All three have a beautiful OST and a perfect plot from the awesome Jane Jensen.
You are absolutely right and I agree with you 100%. The story, voice actors and the soundtrack makes all the three games just perfection.
A trip down memory lane to my childhood with these wonderful games. Thank you so much. I wonder if Gabriel and Grace are happily growing old together somewhere in imaginary land. I hope so 🙏🏻
Yes, maybe Grace and Gabriel ended up together after all the struggles. Who knows. You are welcome and I'm happy you enjoyed this medley 💕

You know what’s also amazing about this beautiful medley? It contains all of my favorite GK songs!
Wonderful! You have a great taste. I don't think there are GK songs that are bad. Thank you for watching ❤🌹
Awesome! This brings back good old memories!
Good! That was the plan! Have you visited the Gabriel Knight game locations? 🙂
@@KatjaSavia Hmmm...that's a good question ;-). I think that many many years ago, I was near Rennes-le-Château, but not directly in the village ;-).But after thinking about your question...I REALLY saw some real life Gabriel Knight locations in Munich but I was never aware of this fact. Gabriel Knight 2 included several locations from there ;-). Did you also visit some of the Gabriel Knight game locations?
Wow, that's fantastic! I really hope that I could visit the locations one day. At least you are closer than me. My biggest dreams would be to visit those places ❤❤
Beautiful as always. Thank you for the thoughtful performances and emotional reflections of the music.
Thank you Robert for listening and for the encouraging words! You rock! :))
I grew up with these games, and GK1 in particular is my favorite of all time. You play these beautifully, and it's great knowing that others still remember these awesome stories!
Thank you so much! Happy to know it brought back nostalgia filled memories for you. ❤😊
Thanks for your advise, it's a full immersion with thinks...wow i close my eyes and sounds like i've been in the game...1000000 claps!
Excellent! That was my goal. Thank you Giacomo for the lovely comment ❤️
Katja, this medley was beyond beautiful. It was haunting, captivating, powerful, mysterious, and soulful; just like you. I am still waiting to play through the series and create wonderful memories, but the glimpses you have given me with the music fire my imagination and fill me with anticipation. I could feel every note practiced, every drop of sweat given, and every thought you dedicated to this phenomenal tribute to the well loved series. This is truly one of your finest creations and I pray it and you receive the recognition you deserve for it. Thank you for sharing how amazing you are with the world, it needs more visionaries like you. Vaikutuksesi maailmaan on suurempi kuin tiedät, ja sinut arvostavat aina ne, jotka todella välittävät sinusta, Katja.
Michael, thank you for being part of this video too. Your gift inspired me to create this project many moons ago. I'm honored to create these short glimpses for you and others. You are encouraging me to keep going. Thank you 🌹🌹
Well, you weren't lying when you said you had something special in store :) Incredibly well made, you really deserve a lot more views.
Thank you Kevin! You deserve best. Sharing is caring 💖
wonderful emotional playing....
Thank you Oliver 💕
I'm in Love.
Haha, that was the plan. Thank you Cristhian 💖🌹
Catching up still. One of the Gabriel games was an old favorite. Gabriel Night the Beast within was amazing game. As is your work !
All GK games have amazing music! Glad you like the music as well😊❤
And again. I just keep relistening to this medley. Perfect. Just perfect.
I'm so happy you enjoy it Tommi! It was a lot of time, effort, and remakes but so happy that it turned out this good eventually. Thank you for being supportive and encouraging! ❤❤
Absolutely beautiful. I got teary-eyed. Amazing performance.
Wonderful! Thank you so much 😊❤
Witch of my soul!
I love and admire you!
Thank you !
Haha, thank you Ricardo for listening :)
Thank you Katja, for this beautiful Medley. Greetings 🙋♂️ and ❤ from Germany!
Dirk, you are very welcome! Sending lots of love to Germany ❤❤❤
Just discovering this one and I love it. I played the original DOS version of the game and loved it too, I still have the original tracks (adlib files or something like that) on my playlist. Very sweet cover, amazing revisited track.
Thank you and so happy you found this gem! Oh, wow you still have the original tracks! The original music is the best with so much nostalgia 😊❤
Gorgeous music from my all-time favorite game series. Beautifully done!
Thank you so much! The game series have amazing music ❤️
Damn, you are very good, great warmth in your splendid interpretation for an exceptional music. For the game that I loved the most in my life. An unforgettable trilogy and a fantastic atmosphere. Thank you so much , Katya.
The music in the game is fantastic and unique. You will not forget it easily. Thank you Marco 😊❤
Thank you so very much. You're an amazing pianist and it's wonderful hearing a medley from one of my favorite series. That GK2 Main Theme always gets too me. Thank you again Katja!
You are very welcome and I'm happy you enjoyed the music ❤️
I wish Jensen could have made more GKs. It is great that people like you are around to help us all remember the greatest noire adventure series ever.
Jensen is such a talented and captivating storyteller that, as you wrote, she could have made more GKs. Thank you John! 😊❤
I think we will get another GK in the future. When the rights ae released, someone will make a new Gabriel Knight game.
@@nettiguru Yeah, I believe that as well. It's about the rights. 🙂
Thanks Katja
You are very welcome ❤
I’ll always remember the first Gabriel Knight game because of how cool it was to have a PC game take place in my city of New Orleans (as stereotypical and cliché as it was)
I bet! Games made about real places are the best. The second and third are in Europe and I really loved the games because of that.
Perfect performance 👏
Thank you Chris 💕
Wonderful medley beautifully played. Great atmosphere in the video and having the Ritter talisman was a nice touch. Fantastic job all round. :)
Thank you so much Myke 😊❤
Brings me back! I was in my teens when I first found and played Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers and that game has a special place in my heart and means a lot to me for several reasons and you have pierced into my being and brought that same feeling back out again. Not just the nostalgia, but reminding me of my love for this music and every thing it always did for me. Your piano play is so magnificently artistic and simply magnificent. Thank you for the feels and remembrance. Thank you for this. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you, Jesus! Robert Holmes the composer did a magnificent job of bringing the game alive through music. I'm happy the music brought back memories for you. 💕💕
You really capture the spirit of the trilogy
Thank you Tommi!! I'm happy you think so. 💖🙂
Well done! Enjoyed every second of the video.
Awesome, that warms my heart. Thank you Yaroslav!
absolutely beautiful. Thanks for being part of Sierra Gaming World FB group :)
I'm happy that I discovered Sierra Gaming group. Thank you Ross! 💕💕
What a amazing presentation. I love these musics and the way you play it. One of my favorite soundtracks of all time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! You are welcome and thank you so much João!! :))
Eight minutes of total music pleasure. This is officially my favourite video on youtube. There are two things I'm greatful to Gabriel Knight for, giving me hours of gaming enjoyment and finding your amazing channel.
Wow, thank you Delboy! Always making me blush, haha! ;)
Here to entertain and I'm so happy you enjoyed this medley
you are intriguing, mysterious, beautiful and dangerous.
your fingers scurry like spiders across branches under moonlight
the dark enchantress owns the night once more
Haha, we shall write a song about dark enchantress, right?? That would be superb. Thank you Kya
@@KatjaSavia working with you would be interesting, I do love your approach to art. Your song Devil's Kiss is delightful, sensual and a little spooky haha
Great! I just finished the three games, this is the closure I needed!
Fantastic! The soundtracks are amazing 🔥🔥
This is some of your best work so far. Made me want to play those games again.
That's amazing! Thank you Mustanaamio7 😊
Simply stunning! Amazing rendition of Holmes's beautiful themes. Your GK videos are a major treat for fellow fans of the best game series ever:)
Thank you very much! I'm pleased to know that. Makes the effort worthwhile. Robert Holmes's music is damn amazing :))

Good work on the music, as always. Have to point out that even the simplest video shows your production quality improvements in that department!
Jesse, thank you for saying that! Though majority people don't see the little things, I try to improve and get better. Your support means a lot. 🥰❤
Hello Katja Absolutely Fantastic Song Performance and Video !!!..Greetings from England 😎😎🍂🍁
Hey Caen and thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed this medley. See you again soon 💕💕💕
Exceptionally beautiful music as always - And the video is absolutely great too!
Thank you very much! I'm happy you enjoyed this first-ever medley. Let's keep on creating more musical pieces into this world Victor
Beautiful collage and playing! Amazing how smoothly all the songs go to the next.
Thank you very much for listening Mikko! Many of the pieces are in the same key. Makes the transition easier. :)
omg this is such an outstanding job :D this was awesome, wish I had played these games ^^ btw going for 2K subs :) only you deserve more!!!
Thank you so much! And yes, you are correct. I'm thinking of doing a giveaway when I reach 2K subs. Do you have ideas about what should I give away? :)
Oikein mainio, kiitos. :)
Surullista, jos jätät hyvästit GK-sarjalle tällä kanavalla, mutta toisaalta taas todella sopivaa, sillä jäin haluamaan lisää samoin kuin GK-sarjan kanssa, hah. Gracen kohtauksissa GK2:ssa käytetty Scholl Ritter theme muistutti mua ihan koko pelisarjan oudoimmasta seikasta, eli Gracen lapsellisesta käytöksestä GK2:n alussa lol. Se meni multa aina ihan ohi, että miksi se ykkösen fiksu ja kypsä Grace oli yhtäkkiä ihan kakaramainen lehmä. Tosin vain sen yhden osan verran.
Hyvää työtä, oli ilo kuunnella!
Kiitos Teemu! Tosiaan sarjassa on vain kolme peliä ja yleisöä on nykyään aika vähän, täytyy keskittyä vähän uudempiin tuotantoihin. Ehkä joku päivä lisää Sierra pelimusiikkia. 😉
Oh my god! Wonderful, very exciting. Thank you very much! You have a new subscriber
I'm happy you enjoyed it! GK music is unique and special. Thank you for the support J J! ❤❤
Was such a fan of these games! And you really did a good job capturing the feel and mood of them.
Awesome! That's good to know. Wanted to create something in honor of the good memories. Thank you watching ❤
amazing
Thank you 😊❤️
Great playing! GK music is so good!
Thank you Marnavot! Good to see you again! Let's keep on rocking 😎❤
Shivers 😳🥰
Wonderful! Thank you for watching and listening Eselvy 😊❤
ahhhh this is wonderful. the music is awesome, only heard it through your covers. this medley is amazing. been listening on repeat for a while. and fck your playing is so good
Daniel, thank you sir! It means so much coming from you.
The Talisman i want one xD
Well... how much would you be willing to pay for it...? 😏😂
@@KatjaSavia One million compliments :P thats all i got to offer, not going so well atm^^
You've outdone yourself, Katja. This is exceptional from start to finish. No one could have brought this beautifully moving music to life like you - I felt every note. Your struggle was worth the end result: perfection. I'm so proud of you!! 😍🎹👏🖤
Thank you Emily! It makes me feel incredible when encouraging words like this are coming from you. You are the best. Let's keep on creating 💖💖
@@KatjaSavia I feel the same way about you, my darling!! XOXO
Beautifully played.
Wonderful! Thank you so much ❤😊
This was absolutely awesome. I love that you're as into creating Halloween atmospheres as you are. What a beautiful performance!
Thank you so much! You are very correct. I'm thinking that my repertoire is perfect for any Halloween party 😁
@@KatjaSavia Yes! I definitely agree. I think it's awesome that we've both been creating Halloween stuff.
Sensational!!!
Thank you :))
I'm crying...it's simply beautiful. Thank for you for playing Gabriel Knight music, you're an incredible pianist!
Ooh, thank you so much! The original music is a masterpiece and it just simply works ❤️🔥
Very beautiful medley with some great emotional tracks
Yes, some of them are emotional. Can't play them without tearing up. Thank you so much Duhemsounds! :)
Wow so beautiful video and a song 💝 Great job
Thank you lovely! I'm happy you enjoyed this collection of mysterious piano music :)
That was a great new medley from these series!! And still I haven't played any of the games :(
Once I don't have that much work I hope to finally do so.
Damned work, i feel you... Try to find the time to play them, because they really deserve to be played (more than) once in life
@@DarKamui64TDD I know!! And I will! Thanks.
@@Vesohag i don't want to tell you something you may know already but there are two versions of GK1. The original that I've played from 1993 and the 20th Anniversay remake that was released in 2013, I have that one but have never got around to playing it.
@@Trev359 oh, yes, I remember the remake now that you mentioned it! I'll have to see it after playing the og. Thanks!
Thank you!! I'm happy you enjoyed this medley! Well, when you have the time, test the games out if you can. I've started to think that these games are really big part of game development and game history. 💖💕
Perfect. Love to study chemistry while listening to this. Makes it much more mystical. :D Glad to see you are still make GK-videos. I searched through your videos and could not find any cover of "The Gedde Estate". Is it too "organ"? :P
Hmm... The Gedde Estate is a cool song now that I listened to it again after a while. It might be a perfect addition to my dark piano series. A great idea! Thank you!!
Great sharing; Your music is so lovely
Thank you very much 🎶❤
Magnificent! A splendid medley!
Thank you Joseph! I'm happy you enjoyed this medley 💕💕
I found the song dark but also relaxing.....beautiful Katja :)
Steven, thank you lovely! I'm happy you enjoyed and thank you for the support 😍💖
I loved the Gabriel Knight games so much, such a big part in my early adult life. You brought me right back, fantastic.
That's wonderful to know. Thank you Carrinthe 😊❤
BEAUTIFUL!
You are! Thank you 😊❤
wow, wow, wow! well worth the wait! :D That GK3 end-credits theme is FIRE! Did you pick it up by ear?
Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed this medley. I always do arrangements and sheet music for every project 😊💕
Sublime ❤
Awesome! Thank you so much ❤️
@@KatjaSavia 😘beautiful voice from a beautiful woman 👌
Great work!!! How did you get the Talisman in the intro?
Thank you! I got the talisman as a gift 😊💕
Really fantastic played and so mystic Katja ! Wonderful my friend !!!!!!! BIG LIKE from me !!!! :-)) All the BEST, Karen :-))
Thank you Karen! I always appreciate your feedback! 😊
So, yeah, now I'm listening to ALL of the Gabriel Knight music. 😭😕🤷♂
That's so cool! I presume you haven't played the games? 🙂
@@KatjaSavia Sadly no. That series passed me by somehow... Looks interesting, and the music is awesome. 😎 😊
In the retro game music world, the music is different and unique for sure 😊
@@KatjaSavia 😊
I already wrote you on Patreon how this made me feel. I first found you as I was searching for Gabriel Knight music on UA-cam, and now I feel like it has come full circle somehow. It feels deeply wrong that this video has less than 50 likes. I am still thinking about how I could draw people's attention to this.
Wow, thank you hon! We are almost at 100 soon. Robert Holmes's music deserves more attention for sure.
@@KatjaSavia 3771subs baby I love this music your brilliant Katja 👌❤️🔥
Great medley!!
I'm glad you enjoyed this one 😊❤
@@KatjaSavia Thanx. Your music makes my mind travel
Wonderful! Robert Holmes did a wonderful job with the pieces ❤❤
Wonderful
Thank you! 😊❤
🤩🤩🤩
💋💋
Thank you for this
You are welcome. Thank you 😊❤
This is great, I love those melodies. Now honestly, how hard are these? I only started playing this year :)
Some of the pieces are challenging, especially the GK1 main theme with 7/4 time signature. However, Grace's themes are easy for everyone. 😊
@@KatjaSavia one day I'll be able to play them. It might take me years but I don't mind. Thanks for putting the work in and mostly just for showing that it can be done :)
Enjoy the journey ❤️
❤❤❤❤
i would like to here startrek music
Wow, can you recommend dark Star Trek music?
J'adore tu à trouvé ou le pendentif ?
Sorry, I don't speak French. The amulet was custom-made if that's what you mean. 🙂
@@KatjaSavia I wanted to know if you have an album for video games, yes for pendant, I would like to find the same
@@retrox7192 You should check Etsy for pendant. There's seller called MiraCrafts who has done similar pendants in the past.
@@fosayz1106 d'accord Ok 😀
listening in 2024
These tunes never get old
The intro chords seem terribly off to me. The melody is good but left hand playing hurts me. Sorry, but true
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for the feedback 🙂
Great!
Thank you Albert ❤
