Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections: Concert Paraphrase on “Dearly Beloved”

Posted on by

This is my official plug for something I have been anticipating for three years: an official “Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts.” Square Enix released the CD in Japan on May 27th, and a sheet music book today (June 17th). With 12 amazing arrangements by Kaoru Wada (和田 薫) of some of the best Kingdom Hearts songs composed by Yoko Shimomura (下村 陽子), it’s one of the most amazing things I’ve heard.

Here is sheet music for my favorite track, arranged for you to also perform and post on YouTube.

Hey, more Kingdom Hearts music!

I remember this being requested all over the place. So, here it is, a very rough, off-beat interpretation of Night of Fate.

The long-awaited (?) piano version of “Passion” or “Sanctuary” from Kingdom Hearts. Since my video camera is broken, I only used a microphone – hence, no moving images. Yes, I really am playing it.

I do not own this song nor any part of it. © Utada Hikaru and Square Enix

Thanks to Arnold Morrison, whose arrangement I used as a reference; and of course thank you to Utada Hikaru for composing it :)

I’ve always loved this piece. Why? I had to like it, since I got to listen to it so many times while trying to beat all sorts of heartless bosses…</geek>

Anyhow- this is an IMPROV (hence, no sheet music) on Destiny’s Force, composed by Yoko Shimomura, released by Square Enix for the game Kingdom Hearts.
