This piano arrangement is dedicated to Kyoto Animation.
2 years has passed since the Kyoani arson incident and today is the anniversary day of the tragedy.
When I was watching the Violet Evergarden Movie in the cinema last year, I couldn’t help but think of all the people, who were involved to create this incredible movie. I also remembered the losses the animation studio had to sustain after that awful arson incident. Simply put, it was a very emotional moment for me, when the ending song “WILL” by TRUE was playing during the credits of the movie.
Since today is a very special occasion, I have created this piano arrangement of WILL with a specific message in my mind. The message is, no matter what life is throwing at you – you are capable of getting through.
Similar to my piano arrangement of “Sincerely”, which was uploaded exactly 1 year ago, I have included the melody of the Violet Evergarden Main Theme (F-Ab-Eb-F) in the arrangement to tell a story in the music.
The main theme appears for the first time in 3:49 and I was imagining Violet is reminiscing about her past and the time around her has stood still in this moment. She still has difficulties to be honest about her true feelings and is temporarily lost. But starting at 4:12, Violet has finally gathered her willpower and she is slowly approaching her goal – climbing the stairs higher and higher – until she finally reaches her goal in 4:23. She finally earned her good ending.
Fitting to the theme of the movie, the chorus part of “WILL” has an almost exact opposite mood compared to the chorus part in “Sincerely”: “WILL” is full of positive energy with a bright future ahead while Sincerely is yearning for something lost in the past.
Last but not least, since this movie concludes the Violet Evergarden story, I also included a grand finale for this arrangement. The orchestra is playing in full force again in 5:32, celebrating the end of Violet’s Journey and the main theme of Violet Evergarden is playing for one last time in 5:47, full of hopes for a bright future, before the curtain finally falls for Violet Evergarden.
Well then, thank you for reading my “Animenz Explains” column this week! And thank your for listening to my piano arrangement and leaving your comments. I read through almost all of them and I am always happy to hear what my audience is thinking while listening to my piano music.
With that said, see you next time!
