More about the piece:

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've featured some music from The Legend of Zelda series, and I wanted to come back strong with one of my favorites pieces of music from the entire series.

There is a reason why the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask is much performed and beloved. Koji Kondo is a master of melody and this tune, in particular is so catchy, yet somehow so bittersweet and emotional. It's such a special tune and I wanted to do something different with my arrangement. I first version of my arrangement was far more virtuosic and flashy, but I felt that it was missing what made the original so beautiful and intimate. I instead decided to keep this arrangement fairly loose and record some raw improvisations at the start.

After I got some ideas that I thought were interesting, I paired everything down to the best couple of ideas and focused my arrangement on those. I ended up getting a solid little structure going, but every take had lots of little details that changed every time I performed it. The resulting video is what I thought was the most natural and cohesive version of my semi-improvisatory take on this tune. I really hope you guys like this one. :) Thanks again for watching!

Cheers!
