"Welcome, to the great gathering!" I hope you will enjoy my piano arrangement of EPCOT's 'Luminous: Symphony of Us"! It's a tribute to all the creators, composers, arrangers and performers of this beautiful show. It was a big challenge to play the music exactly in sync with the show and to translate all the details of the soundtrack to piano. Sometimes I wish I had more than two hands haha! Thank you so much for watching!! When we come together, it's a heartbeat symphony!
Many thanks to @clifflix for giving me permission to use his breathtaking 11-camera angle footage of 'Luminous'! Make sure to subscribe to his channel!
It always frustrated me to watch other fireworks shows that had most of it synced, but then were a little off in some places. So brilliant of you to have yours exact! And include everyone’s favorites at the same time. But that’s Gijs, always better than imagined. Thank you for this❤
Wow. What a great job you did recreating this show for us on piano. I bet it took a ton of work to get every firework explosion timed precisely to the music. I love this show and I love this video.
Thank you so much! Yes it took a lot of time to prepare, I play the piano by ear so I had to remember it all. I made a click track (metronome) so I could play along in the right tempo.
Great job Mr. Gijs! I’m amazed how artfully you were able to create such a beautiful replica of the music. As a young classical guitarist, I can’t even imagine taking on such a challenge, but you clearly have mastered the piano with ease! I would love to hear an Impressions de France cover on the piano with your decorations and talent!
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m happy you enjoyed the video! I love Impressions de France, I actually recorded a big portion of the film in my EPCOT Piano Medley part 2: ua-cam.com/video/cxn3veDCkKk/v-deo.htmlsi=Z9-XxAEVabiz7Drz
Wow Gijs, this really turned out great. You have captured the heart of the show and turned it into this masterpiece. It makes me miss EPCOT so much and wish I could see the show in person. At least I have this to watch over and over.
Thank you so much! I’m very happy you enjoyed it! It was a LOT of work, so it would be awesome if the algorithm of UA-cam will bring the video to Disney fans!
OMG Gijs! This is so beautiful! I’ve loved Luminous since we watched it together in February and this video is just as amazing as being there in person. You have captured all the emotions of the show perfectly. You’ve outdone yourself with this video! Thank you for giving us Luminous on Piano. ❤
Thank you so much, Rebecca!! It was truly special to watch this show for the first time in person with you! While I was watching the show, I was already listening if the soundtrack could be something for me to play on piano
This is incredible, it really just makes you appreciate the music in this show. I can play piano but honestly I'm not very good and can't do anything compared to you. Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much! Yeah, to arrange the music of the show for piano, I had to really analyze the harmonies, the different instruments, “hidden” melodies etc. They’ve put SO much effort in this show!
Thank you so much!! After I saw the show in person in February, I was very excited to hear that it was translatable to piano. I couldn’t wait to start! I’m happy you enjoyed it😃
So wonderful! Gijs. An amazing work. Although some sad parts, you always follow with happiness! Beautiful work, beautiful music from beautiful you 💯🤩🤗💕
I didn't think I'd start crying, but I couldn't stop listening. This video randomly appeared on my feed, and I was planning to do some chores and play it in the background, but I had to sit down and watch. I can't remember the last time something moved me to tears like this. The music in this show is absolutely beautiful, and hearing it on the piano without any other instruments or vocals is even more moving. I'm touched. Great work, Gijs. Thank you!
This is amazing Gijs. I sadly didn’t get the chance to see Lumious in person during my trip this year. But I’m so happy I get to have the best version of the show. Thank you for a wonderful piano version of Luminous
This is great, Gjis! I love it. It reminds me of the live orchestration of "The Sorcerer´s Apprentice" i saw 2 times, and your timing here is perfect in sync.
Absolutely spectacular! I really, REALLY enjoyed your playing on this. What is your favorite portion of the show? "Loss" hits me pretty hard. Excellent interpretation of the score!
Thank you so much!! I am so incredibly grateful that I could use your beautiful video of the show! Yes I love the “loss” segment so much too! I’m so glad that Disney dared to go there, since it’s quite sad, but it’s part of life and it pulls the heart strings. The show is a rollercoaster of different emotions, and that makes it so wonderful for me as a pianist to play too!
Love it! The amount of work you always put into the video's and the livestreams.. thanks! We (Frans and Marinka) will be joining the streams soon again!❤
I don't know if you take video suggestions but, heres one anyway. since it's almost the 5 year anniversary of IllumiNations Reflections of Earth could you maybe do a full version of it like this? it would be cool and i know you have done We Go On and Promise in your other Epcot video so i think it could be a good idea! its fine if you think not but just leaving that suggestion on the table.

It’s hard to beat Illuminations, but this music is such a return to form for Disney that I can’t help but love it 😁
Brilliant, Gijs! Unbelievable you are playing exactly the symphonic arrangement but on piano! Well done! I hear the orchestra!
Thank you so much, Papa Piet!!
