- Hey everyone,
So, a couple of weeks ago I saw the movie Les Miserables and was pretty blown away. I knew some of the more popular songs from the play, although never really had any clue what the entire story was about. I thought the movie was so good that I was inspired to learn much more of the music, and am happy to be able to share it with all of you.
I just came off of an 11 day stretch of work including three 26 hour shifts, so I was feeling a little le miserable myself. Hehe. Recording this music has definitely provided some relief from the craziness, and I hope listening to it will as well.
Just fyi, I added in the song "Suddenly" from the movie because I thought it plays an integral role in the film, helping to emphasize a critical plot point. The fact that it was written so many years later just for the movie is special enough.
Anyway, I obviously recommend that you see the movie -- and would love it if you would let me know what you think of the music. I hope you enjoy it!
In order, the songs are:
Overture/Work Song
I Dreamed a Dream
Castle on a Cloud
Lovely Ladies
Master of the House
Suddenly
On My Own
Bring Him Home
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Do You Hear the People Sing
0:00 - 1:35 Overture
1:36 - 2:46 I Dreamed a Dream
2:47 - 3:51 Castle on a Cloud
3:51 - 4:08 Lovely Ladies
4:08 - 4:38 Master of the House
4:38 - 6:10 Suddenly 6:10 - 8:12 On My Own
8:12 - 10:28 Bring Him Home
10:29 - 11:03 Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
11:03 - 12:19 Do You Hear the People Sing.
For ease of viewing :) although i recommend listening to everything! really loved the rendition of "On My Own" :). Thanks for the video! Appreciate it loads :)
Nice job logging this compilation!❤
Hey everyone, thanks so much for all the great comments, I'm so glad you all like the music! Just FYI - I do play by ear so unfortunately don't have any sheets to give you, sorry 'bout that!
No one's transcribed this by any chance... Been 4 years so I'm hoping it's been done 😁😁 great job none the less
Everything by ear? perfect pitch?

I haven't touched a piano in years. I stumbled across your video and I have tears all over my key pad and a new priority for tomorrow: to have a date with my piano.
This is giving me goosebumps. I'm a total theatre geek/thespian. My dream is to be Fantine in a production of Les Miserables.
+Lauren Anthony Why? Eponine is the best singing role period. Then again, I guess it depends on your vocal strengths, you need a good contralto voice for Eponine.
+Ian Martin Yeah, I tried singing Eponine, and for the most part it's in my range, but there are just some notes that I cannot hit...
Phantom of the Opera should be next!
Yes yes yes yes
+Ethan Swords yassssssssssssss i agree too!!!! That would be awesome really!!
+Ethan Swords yessss!!!!!!!
Yessssss
The only negative comment I have about this video is that it didn't have "One Day More", but other than that it was an inspiring piece of art.
Agreed, that and "Stars" which is sung by Javert (played by Russel Crowe)
I could watch someone play the piano all day. This is the most beautiful instrument 😍
How can this video have even 6 dislikes??? Why would ANYBODY dislike such a beautiful arrangement of such fantastic and deeply moving music???
You, sir, are just simply incredible....your interpretations are so spot-on and terrific. I
could listen all night to your renditions, and they have inspired me as a musician, a pianist of some ability I must say, to continue to improve with my own interpretations, as I continue with my music, some original, but mostly church music and pop standards, mixed with some Broadway, and classic favorites . In short, you have inspired me to grow as an artist, and I am a WHOLE lot older than you, my new mentor. THANKS!!
This is the best rendition I've heard so far. Bravo!
Listening while doing history homework. Pretty blown away.
Really gives it that feeling.
same!
This absolutely made my day. I've always felt that Les Mis didn't really translate to piano very well...until seeing this. You have so masterfully blended everything together in a way that makes it sound just as enjoyable as the real thing. I'll be studying your rendition very closely to try to play this one on my own, every measure of it! Bravo!!
1. Look down
2. Look down (Beggars)

Lily Addams it's called Suddenly
yep didn't remember
This is the most inspiring piece of music I've ever heard, you've touched my soul with this medley. Thank you!
i could listen to this for days and not get sick of it. absolutely beautiful!
This is an absolutely amazing compilation of the songs! You`re a brilliant pianist! I also like the way you`ve managed to merge the pieces together without any awkward key changes!
Beautiful, I am a big fan for les miserables. 12 minutes well spend
castle on a cloud broke my heart
You Sir are incredible!! Thank you for 12 minutes of pure joy..🥰
The way you play it also blown away too.. I love it!!
Absolutely mesmerising. The emotion you poured in this tells a story better than any words could. Beautiful.
The discipline it takes to do this is commendable. Bravo! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely, I could only ask for at least one of Javerts solos, but none the less a masterful composition well done
Ok i cried. You're amazing. Truly amazing. ❤️
Nothing has ever made me as happy as that. My favorite musical with someone who has obviously spent years behind the piano mastering it. I wish someday to be like that. BRAVO
Oh what a Joy ... I could listen to your playing all night ... what a talent you have ... Thank you so much.
I literally stood up and applauded this. Absolutely brilliant.
Just wonderful! Thank you. Brings back wonderful memories.
This is amazing! I've watched a lot of your videos and each and every one of them are a joy to listen to. This is my favorite of your medleys and of any les mis medley I've listened to. You're the first I've seen actually do Look Down and you make every song so perfect, either lively or haunting. I particularly like Do You Hear the People Sing, since you let the dotted quarter notes and eighth notes move like how it wants to on paper with a lot of spirit and each leading into the other, as opposed to the way most people sing it. Every note and chord is spot on and you pour so much feeling into each song you do, it's a true pleasure to listen to. Thank you so much for your music, I'm sure even if you primarily play by ear it's still a lot of work.
Phenomenal! Awesome! You made me cry, I swear! 😭❤
I was in a production of this in my hometown. It was the first serious production we did. When I started I didn't realise how much this play would mean to me. I just thought about the cool 'set' from the movie. We did the first three shows, and the whole cast was crying on the last night. We honestly became the best of friends. The whole cast was a family. So, we then decided to do it again in a months time! (Since it got great reviews). So we did it. And I honestly never cried so much. This brought me too tears. Thank you for helping remember all those funny/emotional times while we created our own version of this. Thank you.

The fact that you've done all this by ear, AND that you remember all of it, it absolutely amazing!
Beautiful! This is my most favorite play. Just so you know, the movie is nothing compared to the play. You have got to see it. Every time I do, I fall in love all over again. When you played, I could see the play in my head. That is pure talent
Thank you for this video . Seen film, and stage show. On stage for me, just so powerful.
I got chills, sitting here and listening to this :) beautiful :) amazing job!
I love Les Miserables and I listen to the songs all the time :)

I love Les Miserables SO much, and the music is superb! Thank you so much for your as always genius renditions of musical collages.
This was absolutely stunning!! Love love loved it!! Les Mis is by far my favorite movie and just hearing you play a medley of it just brightened my day! Thank you so much!! :) cheers!
This is so great! Good job on such a great piece!! I hope you make more things like this in the future!
I've just graduated and find the twelve-day stretches almost unbearable, and I genuinely can't fathom how my American colleagues handle the 24-plus hour shifts. Clearly music is a big part of how you unwind. Excellent work on this medley, thank you for sharing this with us.
this is phenomenal as always! I still listen to your beatles piano medley almost daily!!! :) Thank you for brightening my days with your music!!!
Wonderful. I absolutely love Les Miserables, and this piano version is beautiful.
just WOW.. all the emotion of the movie in 12 minutes of pure amazingness!
WOW, almost made me cry. Amazing!!! To Good For Words
Thank you. This is all beautifully played and arranged. Wishing you a happy career in music and no more counting shifts, 🙂. Really, a lovely tribute and saved to "my favorites".
So in love with this! Great job!!
Literally brought me to tears. Amazing work.
Thanks for sharing. This is beyond words.

Gawwwwd I'm crying you're so good and your medley is sooo beautiful 😭❤❤

Wow this is incredible! I completely fell in love with this piece immediately and I loved to get to piano sheets. Keep up with the good work because you’re amazing!
wow... brought me to tears! well done this is amazing
Absolutely perfectly mixed. They flow so well into each other. I'm just so amazed. Very good job!
skill, passion, talent, perfection. The finest 12:20 I have invested in a long time. Flashes of the play/movie, the beauty, the pain, terror and love. 12:20 invested very wisely. Thank you.
so amazing! out of this world. and... he plays with no sheet!!
Dude. you killed it! Absolutely beautiful!!
simply beautiful !!! never stop playing man !!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god!!! Not too long ago i said i would love to hear an instrumental version of the soundtrack. Prayer answered. You did an amazing job!!!! Bravo!!!
Mhm,totally agree. I first saw it with my mum and sister and absolutely loved it.I went two weeks later to our local cultural centre where they were showing it on a big screen with two of my best friends.One had never seen it and the other had seen it twice before! Thankfully the one who had never seen it loved it to bits!
We were some of youngest in the audience (by a LONG shot!)but there was another teenage couple there who remarked (very loudly) that they hated it. So much for musical taste.
I am blown away. Thank for sharing your talent. This is amazing.
Amazing. I loved the movie of Les Miserables. It moved me. I literally almost cried through out the whole move.
I wish i could like this three billion times. Perfect.
Wow you are really good! Great job- you got the feeling of each piece right.
Beautiful. Thank you! This has made my day!
This is honestly so incredible!
This is simply PERFECTION
I would love to be able to play this, Im learning myself, and always play to destress!!!! well done!!!!xx
This is just great and beautiful! Thank you!
Bravo!!!!! 12 minutes of my life well spent!!!!
this is honestly so beautiful. you are an amazing pianist
this is phenomenal. brought me to tears.
I can't stop listening to this!!! I always love your arrangements!!!
Classy and great touch on the keys.....your passion shows!!
I am now blown away. A big Thank You from Estonia!
Absolutely Amazing!
before I watch this video I just want to THANK YOU JESUS and thanks dude playing that pianer!
Pianodoc82 you are an amazing talent. To all of you asking for sheet music, I believe he is playing by ear. The music flows from his brain to his fingertips. There is no sheet music...
How do I start this off? I do not think I can describe your work as well as you played but, I'm going to try.
From the moment you started playing, I was captivated. I was captivated by the way your fingers gracefully stroked the keys as if it were glass and by the way the passion was just radiating off of you. I love the movie, it is wonderful. Though, I feel like you were playing the movie itself. This is my favorite Les Mis medley I have heard and I am glad I watched the whole 12 minutes. When you started playing On My Own (the song Eponine sings) I felt like crying. Not of anything bad, I assure you. I felt like that because I imagined Eponine singing that and of her love being completely unrequited...than by the end of your marvelous medley, I was speechless. For I have not heard anything so beautiful in my entire life. I could go on and on praising this medley but no words can describe how I feel. Thank you for this medley. It really brought me back.
Very good am enjoying now.
On My Own is my favorite too.
If you love the movie, you should watch the original musical. It's so much better.
That was amazing! I can't stop listening to it! You are an amazing pianist.
Sir, you made my day. Thank you so much for this amazing moment of softness.
I not only love the music, but the way in which you play! I'll be sure to add this to my music playlist!
Gosh, this is incredible!!!!!!
It made my day :) Thank you soo much!
My ears have been blessed.
Your playing of the wonderful Miserables' music is amazing!!
This is so beautiful... and yet you make it look so easy and simple, like "How come nobody has figured out before to arrange this way the "Les Miserables" songs?!"It is like the perfect translation of a masterpiece poem which would sound in the foreign language at least as good as the original. Beautiful.
Marvelous! As always! Hope you are doing great, doc!
The number of subscribers aren’t enough! He plays so great! And he’s reciting, too!
This is amazing....i'm really touched, i love this musical and i think you managed to captivate all the emotions in it, it's beautiful.
Wow, that's amazing buddy! Thank you for bringing joy to the world!
Absolutely. Beautiful very well done thanks for sharing
Outstanding as always
