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.

Music from the New Age / World genre has always been my favorite. A friend introduced me to Cirque du Soleil a looong time ago, and after finally saving up some money, I saw Mystère in Las Vegas. Naturally, I fell in love with the music, and proceeded to listen to the music from all the shows. Here is mu arrangement for a small ensemble (celesta, viola, cello, piano): Jeux d’Eau, from Cirque du Soleil’s <<O>>, composed by Benoit Jutras. Free sheet music here:

Also, if Cirque music is your thing, I personally recommend buying A Music Collection from Cirque du Soleil, a, well, sheet music compilation of some of the best songs:

I first played Cave Story (洞窟物語 – “Dokutsu Monogatari”) a few months ago, and immediately got hooked on the music. So, here are the 36 (official) tracks in piano-solo format. I’ve also included 4-handed arrangements for those with 20 fingers, or something.

All Sheet music (Sibelius, MIDI, PDF) is available for download. Free, of course, as Pixel intended. I proudly present: the Cave Story Piano Collection.
