Sheet music → This soundtrack from the second season of Attack on Titan is another masterpiece from Hiroyuki Sawano. It played in a beautiful moment in the anime, where Ymir was staring at the night sky in the desert - finally free after years of endless nightmare. Especially the moment, when the lyrics starts with “You will know you're reborn tonight“ will forever be ingrained in my memory as one of the greatest moments in the Attack on Titan anime. The scenery, the music, everything just fits together perfectly. This is also one of the so-called “special type“ arrangement where I am extending the original song with many of my own ideas. It can be grouped in 4 chapters: 0:00 1. Silence 1:47 2. Rebirth 3:21 3. ThanksAT 5:08 4. Faraway I really love arranging anime soundtracks because I have more freedom to build up the momentum of the music in order to achieve the maximum emotional impact. For example, how can you make the important “Rebirth“ moment in 1:47 as memorable as possible on the piano? I needed to create a huge dynamic contrast first and I arranged the entire first half in a very minimalistic style. For a moment, the music even seemed to be “lost“ in 1:13, showing no clear direction. This is all done to prepare for the moment in 1:47, where the music is literally having a “Rebirth“. Now the deepest bass notes are being played in fortissimo and a “sparkling“ right hand ornament is playing alongside the main melody, achieving an enormous orchestral sound on the piano. Normally, the original song would end in 2:50 but I extended the arrangement by repeating the melody from 0:40. Initially, I planned to repeat the “Rebirth“ melody again in 3:21 but I felt like I needed to build up the music more for the grand finale. That's why I added the melody from ThanksAT (also known as T-KT) from Attack on Titan S3 OST in 3:21. I thought this melody fit in there wonderfully and I was imagining Ymir waiting in the night desert, helplessly watching how the time around her is passing, symbolized by the rapid right hand notes in 3:21. The music continues to build up until the “Rebirth“ theme is returning again in 3:55, finally granting freedom to Ymir. However, my personal favorite part of the arrangement is actually the epilogue - “Faraway“ - in 5:08. I played the melody from the beginning again, but this time I added a sparkling right hand ornament in 5:11. I was imagining the beautiful night scenery again where the stars are shining brightly in the sky. But unfortunately, Ymir didn't get a happy end in her story. And that's why, after flying one last time into the night sky the melody slowly descends and finally fades out in the deepest register. Attack on Titan's story can be too cruel sometimes. Well then, that would wrap up the “behind the scenes“ of this arrangement! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed listening to this piano arrangement! Anime soundtrack is really amazing because I feel like I can unlock the full potential of the piano. Perhaps I should arrange more Anime OSTs in the future. See you next time again!
