I believe you should know the chords, scales and modes that are commonly used in this genre. Once you know them, you listen to too much medieval/celtic music to get an idea of how sounds are layered and what are the common intros/outros. It's like any other music but you just need to know the theory and structure behind it. You really can teach yourself anything!
Definitely would like to see a video on composing fantasy music! Great video today. Gives me some things to think about in regards to which libraries to buy. There are so many and only a finite amount of money in the bank LOL!
Sorry, I've already commented to this vid, but I can't stop rewatching it. Every single instrument itself qualifies for composing a song on them. What I could imagine: something that comes close to a Basil Poledouris Conan The Barbarian esque song. This composer was "my first love" with epic orchestral scores when I was a child in the 80s and was one milestone why I loved fantasy (Conan, He-Man, you name it). And... many of the tunes I listened to in this vid, they reminded me how much I am missing going to medieval festivals. The smell of bonfires, dressing myself in medieval like clothes and listening live to all these medieval / folk bands like Omnia, Faun etc.. Sorry again, for commenting a 2nd time on this vid, but listening to these instruments and to know it is possible to play them with these libraries, will make my wallet bleed for sure, but in the end make me more than happy. Great stuff.
Thanks for the video, I also love Edouardo Tarilonte 's intruments (The Era vocal codex and Forest kingdom also sound beautiful in the fantasy-celtic genre). Rinascimiento by Fluffy audio is also great with many realistic instruments. There is quite a recent one that I absolutly love and it's Lores by Native instrument, just check the demos on UA-cam, it sounds magic !
Thank you Dom for the link to fantasymusic on UA-cam. Wow ! 4900 videos on 110O channels ! It's wonderful worlds. And without advertising ! I love it to begin every morning in looking one of these videos on my TV screen. And your libraries are very fine. You're a genious man !
Fabulous video with stunning music. I am retired and started writing some music during the pandemic having played double bass for 30 years. Thank you for your videos, I have Cubase etc and have learnt a great deal from you. Many thanks. Paul Chambers
Dom - these are sooo good man!!! I love period instruments! Such a good video man!! Thanks and YES - I would love to see a video where you compose a track using some of these!!
I love all the libraries you are showing, and use most of them in my own productions. I do not have the last kontakt vocal library you are showing, but I will have a look at it :) You properly already have it, but you should also check out 'UVI World suite 2', lots of good things in there aswell. Then there is the Danheim vst, 'asgard' which also come as a kontakt library - I use it for my percussion in almost everything I create. Big fish audio - ancient world. Groth by Wavelet Audio. cinesamples - Voices of War. And lots of stuff from East West 💪😀🖤 just to mention some. And the other libraries from Eduardo as well
A production video of a track with those instruments?! Oh yeah! I‘d quite like that. Also this is a good and useful video already. I was looking for libraries of that kind recently and got lost. Your video helps.
I like that you have shadowed out the unused ranges on the keyboard when demonstrating the instruments. For beginners like myself I wish Halion Sonic had a tickbox option that automatically did this.
How could you play those libraries without wearing a proper costume and the right wig? What a missed opportunity. Anyhow, wig or no wig great playing as always !
What do you think now about these quite expensive libraries, while EW released the full Fantasy Orchestra, which cost less than these three Libraries together? Which one would you suggest to get?
The one with the best sound in those ones are by far the german harpischord...damn its sound like a real one...! i have medieval legend and i love it but i don't know why you didn't show some plucked string or winds from this library they are so great ! I just subsribed to your youtube channel like your video...👍
Hi Dom! I think the great theme you play several times is from the beginning of the Orfeo of Monteverdi. Am I right? As a european, I'm so grateful to you for playing pieces of classical, renaissance, and baroque music ;-) Keep on the great work!
wow Dom I love this thanks for this video, I love medieval music and all of that my self,I have a lot of instruments for stuff Like that I have the Celtic ERA Dark ERA Medieval Legends ERA II and the Vocal Library That goes Hand In Hand With (Medieval Legends Era II) Love every thing from The guy that makes them Again thanks for this Dom And keep up all the amazing work you do, seriously !!!!
Did you ever make a composing fantasy music yet? I've seen your videos before, but it was this one that made me a subscriber. I own ERA II and Love it!
Engine libraries are so underrated i just got the demo version and there's a lot that you can do with even those limitations is just amazing. Also Dom thoses that work with halion are actually free ? Or we need to pay ? Are they on the steinberg download manager ?
Mr. Sigalas It looks as those these libraries are from native instruments would you be able to say what the name of it is. What a wonderful video indeed. thank you !
Thank you Dom for these amazing videos. This video showed me exactly what I wanna compose in the future, as I am still at the very beginning of my producer "career" XD. Please answer me one question, as I am still quite a beginner on the piano. How should I go on about learning to play that exact "Fantasy/Medieval" sounds? I am not sure if I should just continue learning to play sheet music with popular songs in it, as it would only increase my knowledge in, yeah, playing from the sheet. I don't think it's crucial to know how to play sheet music if I wanna play these sounds as you did. Please tell me how I can achieve this? Thank you so much.
How can we know that this is what those "extingt" instruments sounded like .. its fantastic libraries .. absolutely love it, but do we really have exact building document's of very early musical instruments to be able to reproduce it faithfully today? I know we have a fairly good idea of how early Piano or Pianette's were made and how a traditional Lute sounds, but some of those more exotic and rare instruments dating more than 500 years back gotta be more or less "hearsay" at best. We can try to "guess" how they "may "have sounded as none of them propably have survived time to be documented within the last 3-5 centuries 😊 It's still an amazing world of sounds. Beside the more well known baroqe instruments, I really like what Sound Iron is doing with voice libraries. It may be very much situational how much of it is usable by a singasong writer, but it must be so interesting to those gifted enough for creating original fantasy tracks for movies. It's amazing how much the music means for titles like Game of Thrones. I think the Lord of the Ring series music was epic, but what really blew my mind was how immersive the sound side of GOT was. Truly some of the best fantasy music ever created no matter what composer you think of .. and it wasn't even a very well known composer to start with 😀 Funny enough I didn't really connect with the newest iteration of the series. It was a bit too bland to me, like the the whole MeToo situation put a lid on how wild they were going to alowe it to be. Please do more of this Dom. Wish I had the money to dabble into this stuff, It would make no sense for making money with it, but would be fun just to wild with at home 😘
Don I have a question. The new song from Stromau L'enfer there is a sound fx in the song. Can you explain to us how its made. I think its a effect. And I would love to learn that technique. Hope you have the time for a tutorial about that. Love 2 see your videos btw.
We all need to share these on other platforms we use. A few tweets or Facebook posts here and there will be useful I am sure! I absolutely love watching and listening to all of Dom's videos. Informative, instructional, and inspirational - simply brilliant! I don't mean to sound greedy, but more please!!! 🤩
You need to check Ethera Gold Atlantis , or any of ethera basically and strezov libraries , they are ver very good. Ps - soundpaint Vst also has awesome sounds.
Hii Dom , you are my best youtuber teaching i just want to ask you how I can get your FANTASY CINEMATIC Music libraries if this for sell i can buy it i hope to answer me .. and thanks you very match
Dude, we dont need these libraries, we need you to show us how to play like you. Those libraries wont sound good if we cant play the piano 😂🤣 Amazing collection and amazing playing Dom!
Not really sure how late am I for this, but, "I'm letting you know in the comments down below" that I'd love to see you teach some orchestration for period / fantasy music.
Awesome video! But 50% of the sound of these libraries is sitting in front of the Monitor...you play them excellent and then they really shine - for me thats not the case. :,D
Yes please to a video on how to compose fantasy/medieval cues!
you have to study general bass
@@emanuel_soundtrack What do you mean by general bass? I asked since i'm also interested in composing fantasy).
I believe you should know the chords, scales and modes that are commonly used in this genre.

@@Ahmad-Mounir44 perfect summary, guidance, and tip.
Recently purchased Celtic and Dark Era. Absolute stunners!
Definitely would like to see a video on composing fantasy music! Great video today. Gives me some things to think about in regards to which libraries to buy. There are so many and only a finite amount of money in the bank LOL!
And a finite number of banks in your neighborhood. 😄
Great Job Dom, please make us a video and compose with these libraries (Y)
Eduardo Tarilonte did such a good job with those libraries, i'm using them almost everyday ! Awesome video Dom, as usual !
Sorry, I've already commented to this vid, but I can't stop rewatching it.

JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! Waiting for a Track Creation video ^_^

Strezov sampling is very good to, specially the pipes- incredible stuff
Would absolutely love a video on composing and arranging a medieval/fantasy style piece.
Thank you Dom for the link to fantasymusic on UA-cam. Wow ! 4900 videos on 110O channels ! It's wonderful worlds. And without advertising ! I love it to begin every morning in looking one of these videos on my TV screen. And your libraries are very fine. You're a genious man !
The Irish flute has always fascinated me. Greetings from North Eastern Highlands of India
Thank you Sir. May your fields always be fruitful.
Who can't love Dom? Full of energy, smiles, joy and hope! Man, you make me love music even more :)
Fabulous video with stunning music. I am retired and started writing some music during the pandemic having played double bass for 30 years. Thank you for your videos, I have Cubase etc and have learnt a great deal from you. Many thanks. Paul Chambers
Super super excited about this!!!!!!!!!
Dom - Loved the video. My two favorite libraries in this genre are Fluffy Audio's Rinascimento and Orchestral Tools' Miroire
Dom - these are sooo good man!!! I love period instruments! Such a good video man!! Thanks and YES - I would love to see a video where you compose a track using some of these!!
I really felt your love for the harpsichord. 😍
Yes PLEASE Do a video on how to compose fantasy / medieval music !
Please more of these. I love this type of genre.
Yes we want you to show us how to orchestrate it all :)
FANTASTIC 👏...thank you very much DOM...my favourite is Celtic instruments...Great video...
Mr Sigalas am loving you each day more and more, that was awesome, thank you ! Totally my element and what I was looking for

You’re killing!
Excellent video, thank you, Dom!
I make this short: request for orchestral composition.
And more of these libraries🤘
I like that you have shadowed out the unused ranges on the keyboard when demonstrating the instruments. For beginners like myself I wish Halion Sonic had a tickbox option that automatically did this.
Dude, you are the real deal!
GREAT VIDEO!!!

Would love to see a videoo on making a fantasy dark era score
Hi Dom, check the Rinascimento. It's really awesome too.
Please do one on composing fantasy / medieval ! there is very few videos about those ! :-)
wow Dom I love this thanks for this video, I love medieval music and all of that my self,I have a lot of instruments for stuff Like that I have the Celtic ERA Dark ERA Medieval Legends ERA II and the Vocal Library That goes Hand In Hand With (Medieval Legends Era II) Love every thing from The guy that makes them Again thanks for this Dom And keep up all the amazing work you do, seriously !!!!

also great library fluffy audio rinascimento.
I'm a bit curious about how to use the voice of wind and mini page L&S in Halion instead of kontakt. How are you doing this wizardry ?
Mr. Sigalas It looks as those these libraries are from native instruments would you be able to say what the name of it is. What a wonderful video indeed. thank you !

Didn’t know you can play so well doc 👊🏾
Thanks Robert! I have a diploma in classical piano actually - I just don’t flaunt it enough hahaha
@@DomSigalas I see man I liked that you tough.
The music you played several times was i think is overture of Monteverdi opera Orpheus :)

Hii Dom , you are my best youtuber teaching
i just want to ask you how I can get your FANTASY CINEMATIC Music libraries
if this for sell i can buy it
i hope to answer me .. and thanks you very match
Is there any news about migration or VST3 version of Engine2 ?
Do you know of any decent harp libraries, also are there some good male voice ah's Oo's ect., the only representation was the tavern dudes lol.
Where to find the scores of some of the themes you played?
Is that John Dowland? :)
Dude, we dont need these libraries, we need you to show us how to play like you. Those libraries wont sound good if we cant play the piano 😂🤣 Amazing collection and amazing playing Dom!
Hi Dom! Is there a way to get this library into the modx6?
Nice! What do you mean exactly by Fantasy music? LOTR, Skyrim & Witcher video games and the likes?
Anything from Medieval, Rennaisance, Baroque stuff thar you can hear from Game of thrones to DND games ;)
Not really sure how late am I for this, but, "I'm letting you know in the comments down below" that I'd love to see you teach some orchestration for period / fantasy music.

Hey Dom, could you please add timestamps to this video? Thank you!
Yes! Give me some time this was a complex video ;)
🖖
Yeah You missed all Ethera Gold Series 🙂 Ethera Gold Atlantis in Particular, check it 🙂
I have to! Thanks!
Oh Cool, Dom :-)
Hi Mr. Dom. If possible plz make short videos. Time is an actual issue. Thank you and regards.
I am trying! But some things cannot be shown any quicker than that!
@@DomSigalas thank you so much for your kind reply. Live long.
Bangladesh ♥️♥️♥️
Tarilonte's libraries are hands down but the best engine is the worst experience ever. I really wish his products find their way to kontakt.
1st
hahaha no one can't teach how to play like this in 30min, though
