Gabriel Knight 2 Main Theme (Piano cover) | Katja Savia's Dark Piano

- The Beast Within!
This is the theme from Gabriel Knight - The Beast Within. In the first part of the cover I was trying to compliment the original song and the second part is my own arrangement so there is something old and new. I left out the drums and the orchestra-synth sounds but instead added more horror noises the game being an adventure-horror game.
All my piano recording are live takes without any time correcting or midis.
SHEET MUSIC: ko-fi.com/s/6d...
I have a reason to suspect that the left-hand injuries and pain I was having in 2016, were because of this old keyboard. If you look at my left hand, it is super stiff and for a good reason - I’m afraid to play because it’s so easy to make mistakes the keys not being weighted. I would love to do just piano covers and songs but unfortunately, the joy of playing is draining away whenever I have to touch that thing.
Anyways, enjoy!

The nostalgia is deep with this one. Beautiful!!
Thank you! I'm glad you think so :)
Robert Holmes really created some beautiful music. It's the music that made the game alive.
Yes, I think so too. The music is unique and stands out from other game music :)
I totally agree. This game is in my top 5 games of all time and the music, especially this theme is a big reason why. Oh and can't deny the Dean Erickson man crush either lol
A lot of genius came together when they were making the game; acting, script, music, even the special effects and animal handling crew had subtle but important contributions.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252It's a masterpiece.
Wow, that was so good. You really put a lot of emotion into that. Brought back so many good memories of one the the best games ever.
Oh wow, one of the best games for you. Thank you and I'm happy that it brought back some good memories! :)
Wonderful piece, thanks for the discovery =)
Hashel You’re welcome 😘
Absolutely beautiful, dark, haunting, played with so much emotion and just overall oozes a gothic dark feeling. Thanks for sharing your talent. Subscribed :)
Vered, thank you so much! Let's keep sharing our talents to the world. Lots of love
This is quite unique piece. Love it so much.. subbed to your channel and liked. Cheers~
Thank you so much! It means a lot from an awesome guitarist like yourself :)
Memories of Munich, Bavaria & tragic King Ludwig came flooding back to me. Thank you for evoking this.
YES!! That was exactly my plan. Thank you kindly and it makes me happy that it brought back some awesome memories for you!
@@KatjaSavia Oh Katja... so much, so much. This game was such a part of growing up for me. Sometimes it almost feels like I lived the experience & the mystery in my memory. The beauty of this game & its music led me many years later, in my adulthood, to actually travel to Munich & Bavaria. I was lucky enough to explore King Ludwig's castles in reality, I recommend it so much, and spend time soaking up the streets & sounds of Munich in person. I also took a trip to New Orleans, influenced by the first game, and it was everything I dreamed & hoped. Thank you once again for evoking these marvellous memories, despite your challenge with your left hand too. You are a beautiful talented soul. Keep on !
Well, now I'm so jealous... Gosh, I wish I could experience that too. I believe it was a wonderful adventure and there isn't anything quite like it. I guess I could say that you've experienced something that most of the GK fans just dream about. That's special.
Katja, this was a wonderful tribute to Gabriel Knight and a wonderful way to celebrate your last six years of creative outbursts here on UA-cam. As always I was enthralled by the way that you play with such elegance and grace. I enjoyed the haunting backing track as it really focused my attention on the melody while subconsciously filling my psyche with dread. Absolutely wonderful. I truly hope we don't have you for only another six years, but perhaps another sixty! After all, who else will cover Gabriel Knight XVIII: Space Nosferatu of the Dark Nebula. Saattaa pimeys opastaa sinua, Katja. :)
OMG, your comment made me laugh!! Yeah, you are right: I'm going to be the only one covering Space Nosferatu of the Dark Nebula. Oh, and I love when you use those words like elegance and grace when it comes to my piano playing. That makes me really happy. Thank you Dark M!
oh the memories and the atmosphere of that amazing game back in 1996... its a part of me. Thank you for that, amazing performance !
The same for me too - so many nostalgia filled memories. Thank you for watching and also check out my amazing Gabriel Knight medley ❤❤
It was the original Gabriel Knight that led me to subscribe. Your technique subtly captures the mood and feelings for this one, too.
Thank you kindly for the comment! GK music is special and unique. It makes me happy to know that I can keep the memories alive in this different form. :)
When I direct The Beast Within movie, this will play in the final scene between Gabe and Grace.
Good to know! 😉
Absolutely stunning! Great performance! Gabriel Knight series is always teaching about art... and you have made art!
GK2 theme is a magnificent piece so that helped a lot. Thank you for the kind words
A very beautiful version of this memorable, dark theme song. It makes me think about werewolves.
Mustanaamio7 Thank you kindly! And oh yes, werewolves. 😏
This is really good! Will you make some more from GK2? Maybe the Von Glower music or the hunting in the woods music?
Thank you for checking out the video. Let's see. Old game music songs are a difficult genre because there aren't that much viewers these days. However, I would love to cover more GK songs.
Beautiful! The music, and you as well! I loved it!
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot!
I've learnt about your haunting cover from Conversations with Curtis. Amazing!
That's awesome! I'm not familiar with them but so cool! ❤️😊
There are some days when you need to come back to what conforts you, I needed this tonight, thank you Katja again for this masterpeice. Still my favorite of your videos. ❤
That's amazing it brings you comfort. The music will always be here waiting for you when you need it. ❤️
The wolves howls on the full moon. This is what i'll think everytime i hear the music from this one. I can hear some wolves howls for despair, pain and suffering... I don't know why, but this song remind me some wolves. So this is why it called this game : the beast within.
Yeah, a mystical and sad piece of music. A full moon would describe this song perfectly.Thank you for the comment :)
I loved your interpretation. Best wishes from Brazil.🤩
That's amazing! Thank you so much 😊❤️
So please !!! GK 3 Main theme tooo kkkk perfect !!
I'll consider it ;)
Hieno tulkinta legendaarisen pelin tunnarista.
Kiitos! Kyllä, legendaarinen peli ehdottomasti :)
Hi Katja! Very good video. You play the piano very well, and you have beautiful hands. Your hands are beautiful, soft, delicate.💅 I love how your thin and delicate fingers gently touch the piano keys. I wait your answer. Thanks bye! 😘🧛🏻♀️🖤
Wow, thank you for the lovely comment! Sending you love ❤❤
Still catching up. Played GK2 when it first came out. Bought it yesterday on Steam for $5. Started replaying it. Great stuff and you have captured it so well as usual! Thanks for reminding me of the nostalgic memories.
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed the music and the game 💙💙
Beautiful playing!!!! Haven't played the game in awhile, but you brought back some great memories.
Wonderful! Thank you and so happy you enjoyed this one ❤
Thanks so much.
Do you know why you sound so amazing?
Because I don't see only the skill of your hands: you put your heart into it.
Thank you so much for writing that! It means a lot and happy that you felt it ❤
Can't you even play the main song by Gabriel Knight 3? would be great : Title: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned
Actually you are the first one who ever mentioned GK3 theme. I guess people don't like it as much as the 1st and 2nd game themes. Let me see what I can do. :)
I played the original sierra game a long time ago. I enjoyed it very much. But like that game this was difficult to endure. Ive never felt so many emotions at once when you played this piece. You will be remembered.
I'm happy the cover made you feel a lot of emotions and brought back nostalgic memories for you. The ST music is fantastic. Thank you for listening! Remember to check out my Gabriel Knight medley too 😘❤
Wow ... 🙂😊 I like it and ... I sub ! You have a new friend # 956 !!!
Thank you darling

Ooh, you are very welcome Alexander ❤😊
Very nice! Not to take anything away from David Henry and his contributions to GK3, but he was not involved in GK2 music. More piano versions of my game themes in this new album.. asimplerefrain.com/
Don't know about the Gabriel knight series.
Retro game series created by Sierra Entertainment. Great unique music 😊❤
My favorite Adventure game sountrack.
You know i always wanted you to do this one . Thank you so much Katja. You truly are wonderful
You are welcome! I hope it brought back some good memories of the game
Learning better piano by watching you ,you play so very well. The only way I sound even nice is playing only the black key's.
Ooh, only the black keys. The black keys sound so beautiful and always remind me of traditional Asian music. Nothing wrong with playing only the black keys. Have gorgeous day lovely! You rock ❤
@@KatjaSavia Thank you, May you have a sweet blessed day as well.
Bravissimo! Great performance
Thank you Terje! If you are a fan of the series, check out my Gabriel Knight medley as well: ua-cam.com/video/7bgGUTe7KG0/v-deo.html 😊❤

Wow, you made this in 2019 - many, many, many, many, many years after the original game and many more years after the series was first created. It warms the cockles of my heart that this is still fondly remembered as it should be.
Yep, these themes are special and bring back a lot of memories that will haunt you forever you don't do anything to them ;)
Creating this was my pleasure. Thank you sir, for your comment

You know, dear Katja?, it is a real pleasure to our hearts to watch you performing your interpretations... in your videos while playing or singing, your passionate soul goes out of your body and talks with our own in a sublime and ethereal communion ... yes, a pleasure indeed.
Wow, what an interesting and poetic way to phrase it. I like it. You are smooth with words Guillermo. Thank you kindly Sir. :)
@@KatjaSavia - Thanks to you my Lady, and my words are simply nothing and quite humble in comparison with your lofty and poetic ability to artistic expression... sincerely, at your feet. ♥
Guillermo Hena 😘
Oh my God, this version of yours is so unbelievably beautiful it tears my heart and waters my eyes. Thank you so much for your piece of art.

Thank you very much Giacomo! If you haven't already check you my GK medley: ua-cam.com/video/7bgGUTe7KG0/v-deo.html :))
I never knew about that game :O I wonder if it's too late to play it haha but the song is beautiful, plus the way you play it makes me happy and sad at the same time, I don't know how to describe it but I love it c: wow 6 years already, hope to see you here for many many more years :D
Thank you so much for saying that! I love how you described it "making you sad and happy at the same time". The game is quite old already but I'm passionate about old game music and giving the music a new life in a different form. Lots of love to my lovely A!
@Alex Ávila -- GOG.com has the Gabriel Knight games.
Great performance
Thank you so much :)
I like listening to your covers of the Gabriel Knight series. They are very well played.
That's lovely to know! Thank you Justin! If you haven't already, check out my Gabriel Knight epic medley. If that video gets 500 likes, I'll cover more GK music. ua-cam.com/video/7bgGUTe7KG0/v-deo.html 😊
@@KatjaSavia I liked the medley as well. Keep up the good work. Hopefully you get the 500 likes you need to make more Gabriel Knight music.
Let's hope so. Sharing the video helps a ton. 😊❤
Beautiful. Thank you so much for taking me back to 1997 when I was playing this game. Reminds me of Munich, alps, werewolves in the black forest. Words are nothing compared to the trip I go on when I listen to this music. Thank you thank you thank you.
You're welcome Ashraf! It's wonderful to know that the music brought back some awesome memories for you.
@@KatjaSavia it did. You have a new fan sending you love and blessings from Dubai
Ashraf Husseini You are very sweet. Thank you 😊
THE PURE SENS! Piano etalon!
Thank you :)
always beautiful !!
ulises silva Thank you sweet Ulises ☺️
So nice. Thank you :)
You're welcome lovely
I must have accidentally unsubscried, because I missed your two last videos. Luckily this one popped up anyway. I hadn't heard this one before nor played the game, but I really like it. The atmospheric soundscapes you added really works with the chords and melody and certainly lifts the piece. Gives it an ominous eerie feel. Once in a while that C major comes along and brings some hope, but with those horror soundscapes, you know it's hope in vain. Wonderful!
Hey lovely and welcome back! YT has done me the same, unsubscribed me from some of my favorite channels. I think you described the theme well: "hope in vain". Thank you! :)
soul fleshing machine))
Wow, that's an amazing way to say it :)
I am amazed so nice
Thank you Joan!
Красивая мелодия, и как всегда, вы Katja неотразимая!
OOOH! Thank you :)
@@KatjaSavia )))
Love this game, love this cover!
Connor, thank you for checking out the video! The game and the music are definitely unique and special
you play most Beautiful!! the keys should be your lovers.. not to be afraid of.. if that is how you feel you really need to get a new piano.. I cant tell in the Music tho, its is very Beautiful played.
Thank you and haha, "the keys should be your lovers". YES!! I think so too. Trying to save up for a new piano. In the meanwhile it's just this. :)
