[Piano] Undine -【Aria the Animation】 (Sheet Music - Sonatina)

Hi guys, it's been a while!

As some of you might've known, i'm taking music composition this semester and have not been uploading any real arrangements lately, there are a few reasons for this.

Originally, I had planned to finish Undine the week after returning from Brazil (yes, my parents brought me to the Olympics!) because, this song just kept playing over my head while I was touring South America, argh!

Then, since the beginning of the semester, and the start of music comp, i've been exposed to a wide variety of different forms of music by my lecturer, at the same time, i've been increasingly picky about my arrangement style, going through various old videos and nit picking/ self critiquing a lot. It all came down to the point where I was having an entire week of information overload, because I couldn't stop thinking about how I could make my arrangements sound more natural and less robotic while encompassing the new ideas i've learned in class.

So yea, I was musically burned out and I briefly took a break from playing the piano, and decided to play Badminton again (after a year) instead. Since then, my mind has been a clearer on what I want to put on the Sheets, and this upload is the result.

[ About the piece ]

I'm probably not going to get a lot of views from this, at the same time, I don't find interest in recent anime music as well, they all seem pretty, bland, to arrange. Nevertheless, this is probably one of my most satisfactory works in a long long time, since my Gunbuster piano Suite arrangement. While arranging this over the course of 5 weeks, I felt all sorts of different emotions during different times which i've actually sat down in-front of the piano to arrange this; calmness, sadness, dance, jolly and laughter.

About the little "surprise" extension towards the end of Undine, I had originally planned to end it with AQUA in C-major just before the coda, because the ending of Undine didn't feel satisfactory at all. I was honestly a little disappointed with Undine's ending, but after much improvisation and experimentation, I decided to go with a completely different resolution, that ends in a laborious F# major, oh F# major.

Needless to say, I may have ruined AQUA because it's been mixed with so many different types of ingredients, but nonetheless, I do hope you enjoy this arrangement of mine.
