Ashes of Dreams - NieR: Gestalt & Replicant - Viola/Cello/Piano Cover

Available on Spotify/iTunes/etc.: lnkfi.re/nierashes
Ashes of Dreams is probably my favorite track from the NieR Gestalt soundtrack, so I'm so happy that I finally got to do this one! Voice of No Return last year was so much fun, so I decided to arrange this for viola/cello/piano once again. This has literally been a year-long arrangement process, so hopefully y'all enjoy :)Thanks so much to Israfelcello and PurpleSchala for reading my arrangement, and thanks to Enkou for the beautiful art of Yonah!

Absolutely love this arrangement. I managed to get tickets for the NieR concert in Chicago, but will gladly listen to this until then!

[@animevivi]

Thank you so much! I'm sad I won't be able to see the NieR concert myself, but I hope enjoy it tons on my behalf as well! NieR's soundtrack is so amazing, and I imagine hearing it live will be an amazing experience~

Uh oh. Not only are you three performing together, you're all in the same room! Everyone stand back and let the greatness wash over you.

This is really beautiful, thank you for arranging this!! I'm feeling kind of frazzled today at work and I find this mysteriously calming despite literally being a song about despair. It really is beautiful, though!

[@animevivi]

[@nora_adora]

@@animevivi oh fo sho. Very relaxed nature

[@yuxih]

Beautiful, are the sheets available somewhere ?

[@MementoMoriVT]

where can i get/buy the sheet music

[@RichardYangPiano]

Have you thought about releasing the Piano Collections version? I just posted that one. But the problem is, I don’t play jazz. So the swing section, something definitely sounds not quite right and I don’t know what. I don’t even know ANY jazz pianist to get any feedback. I hope that one day I can play in an ensemble like you do. Must be so fun.

[@animevivi]

Haha I’m not well versed in jazz either so I don’t think I can pull that off. And yes it is a lot of fun when we can get together even if it’s rare 🎶

[@5ilver42]

this is a different key than I am used to. is it a 4th lower?

[@animevivi]

No, I'm pretty sure this is the original key. You might be thinking of the Yonah piano version, which uses the melody from Ashes of Dreams in a different key?

[@GeorgieTheBurritoDog]

Are you allowing people to see the sheet music arrangement for this song?

[@animevivi]

Ah I was working on getting the sheets licensed and released since multiple people have asked, but forgot to finish that whoops. I'll try to finish that out

[@purpleschala]

I FORGOT TO LIKE THIS SHAME ON ME LOL

[@animevivi]

LOL I know you already heard it so you're fine ahaha

[@TailRunnerOPSpec]

One of the instruments had to have been out of tune. The viola sounded quite out of tune
