Gladiator Piano Suite // Epic Piano Cover by Matthew Craig

[@keithfoester7326]

you, when you see the views for the amount of passion and work you put in your playing: "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"

[@MattCraigPiano]

Thanks, Keith! Yep... sometimes I wonder if it's worth the hours and hours of practice

[@hellohello285]

Thank you very much!

[@abolourian]

Beautiful performance Matt!

[@MattCraigPiano]

Thanks, Ali! Great to hear from you

[@masterofallgoons]

Great stuff, just as I knew it would be. Sometimes I imagine these relatively simple melodies must be more complicated to arrange for the piano because there's so much going on behind the main tune that you have to figure out to give it the power that you get from a full orchestra.. but you always manage to pull it off.

[@MattCraigPiano]

Thanks again! Usually I try to add in runs / arpeggios to fill out the sound in certain areas and give it a more epic feel

[@masterofallgoons]

@MattCraigPiano - Well it really, REALLY works. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@davesrockon]

Epic indeed good sir.

For the curious, the first song Matt is playing is from about 3:05 in this piece ~~> ua-cam.com/video/fedRyexbFHQ/v-deo.html

[@MattCraigPiano]

thanks, Paul! Do you play?

[@CainSmith-b1h]

Brilliant stuff. For your next one... could you do something from "Dances with Wolves", by John Barry?

[@MattCraigPiano]

thanks, Cain! I actually started on The John Dunbar Theme (Dances with Wolves) last year and didn't get very far with it, but that happens often. I'll try going back to it.

[@rubencortez4318]

wonderful , can you do karate kid ? Bill Conti :) please

[@MattCraigPiano]

thanks for the message! You know, I've listened to the Karate Kid themes and I dont find them particularly memorable / maybe I'm just not a huge fan of them, so I've never covered them

[@princesslithium]

“POTENTIA ROMAE” (The Might of Rome) great intro. If possible, could you give it a try to “This is my Idea” from the 1994 movie “The Swan Princess”?

[@MattCraigPiano]

Thanks for commenting! I've never seen the movie or heard that music. I will have a listen

[@sickheadache9903]

John Williams The Towering Inferno Main Title …Thanks

[@MattCraigPiano]

I've never even heard of that movie. Will have a listen

[@xswooshx]

Hit "like" before the video even started. Might as well get it out of the way early!
