justaguy 68 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here are some amazing performances of Star Wars music on piano. Enjoy!Very depresing, yet beatiful, arrangement of Force Theme with some Anakin's Betrayal flavour: Imperial March, Battle of Heroes, Duel of the Fates, Han and Leia, Battle of Endor II and more: Cantina Band, Across the Stars, Battle of Endor III: Parade of the Ewoks: The best "Across the Stars" piano rendition on YouTube i have seen (3:25 buildup... come on...): Imperial March: Main Title with some mistakes, but still very enjoyable: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this some 5-6 years ago in High School, and it's been in my sister's apartment ever since, but I thought I'd take a picture to show all of you.

Damien F 1,742 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 She has a lot of talent, but my problem with her videos is that the background music is too overbearing and distracting. For example, that sampled horn at 0:24 of the JP video spoils a perfectly lovely performance of the theme. A pure violin version or one with minimal accompaniment would be much better... This guy is absolutely fantastic... There's a lot more on his channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I like this performance of Schindler's List by Amy Lee, who plays on cruise ships. Sometimes performances of this piece can be rather mannered, but I find this one nice and straightforward with lovely tone and intonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's been a long time since we've had a new video/performance/arrangement from Jarrod Radnich -- the technical piano wizard who's done incredibly popular covers of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, HARRY POTTER etc. Well, last month he gave us this crazy rendition of the most famous STAR WARS themes (am I hearing a bit of "Rey's Theme" in there or are my ears deceiving me?): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performances are over your usual young orchestras average with very few mistakes - and Rey's Theme's rendition is better (despite one too many note from oboe) than at recent Boston Pops Film Night concert under Williams' baton. http://www.jwfan.com/?p=8888 - here is program.

Thor 7,504 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I didn't realize it was a 'young' orchestra. If so, I agree that the performance is above average. Thanks for the program; seems like it was entirely Spielberg-specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes it was all Spielberg-Williams collaboration concert. One thing I was a bit miffed about was that they performed only Suo Gan from Empire of the Sun but then again they didn't have a choir in the concert and the concertized material from it is choir heavy. Otherwise a terrific performance from the youngsters. Rey's Theme was indeed quite spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 963 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I came across these two videos and I thought I'd share them with you. I knew there was a concert in Paris in early 2016 but I couldn't attend and when I look at these it seems like it was a great concert . Oh well at least we have videos !

acicero 8 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 In honor of Hook's 25th anniversary, I covered "When You're Alone" on guitar.
