Tamashii no Refrain - Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth Theme Song [Piano]
Compared to A Cruel Angel's Thesis, the theme song of the first Evangelion movie "Death & Rebirth" is fairly unknown outside of Japan. Which is completely undeserved, because the powerful chorus in Tamashii no Refrain is simply unforgettable and it makes me shiver every time I listen to it.
The original song from 1997 had a synthesizer bass rhythm, which was continuing through the entire piece, but I occasionally used some rhythmical variations to make it a little bit more interesting for the piano. It is especially audible in the first verse 01:25 and in the second chorus 03:27
I was also experimenting how to arrange the majestic choir part in the bridge in 02:39. The first draft of my arrangement was actually just playing the chords without anything else added. But it didn't have the same spiritual atmosphere as the original song and I felt like something was still missing on the piano. After some thinking, I remembered there was a similar choir part from A Cruel Angel's Thesis. I included the same rhythmic pattern for this particular choir part as well and the piano was finally creating a sound I was initially looking for.
The second verse in 02:58 was deliberately arranged in a calm atmosphere to serve as a direct contrast to the earlier dramatic choir part. I let the music slowly build up until it reaches the second chorus 03:27, which is played in staccato this time. I was also thinking for a while how to arrange the finale because the original song's enigmatic ending is hard to translate into the piano. At the end, I decided to use a simple improvised melody line in 04:47 to bring this arrangement to a conclusion.
Well then, that's it for this week's upload. I am surprised that some Anime songs are still super popular in Japan while being virtually unknown elsewhere in the world. Since I have been arranging all those decade old Anime songs recently, the next weeks arrangement is going to be another nostalgia song. Pretty sure most of the people here are very familiar with the next one as well.
Until next week then!
