HTML-код

- OOoh boy, what better way to celebrate the spoopy hour by arranging something like the Death Waltz (U.N. Owen Was Her?) Scarlet Flandre's Theme, etc. It took a while till I felt I was ready to tackle Touhou, especially this legendary song. That being said, BOY this was fun to make.

@@anidiot4558 Why are you gae?
Oh i get it. UN Owen/Unknown. Heh.
your late boi, xD
It may be inspired by And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, not sure because the killer was called U.N. Owen
@@pokemaniac9793 Oh my soldier where are you going, mirrors within mirrors around and no reflection cast
Oh my soldier where are you hiding, I can't even tell what I'm looking at!
@@Zellig wot. It's been months since I've read the book, and either way I'm pretty sure that's not in the book. What am I missing here?
@@pokemaniac9793 I was actually quoting a lyric song based on Flandre by Lyrica Live
Beautiful! I used to be obsessed with this song way back in the day. It's amazing to hear you bring it to life!
Same
I wish I could stop being obsessed with this song. I am listening so much to so many variations of it that I worry I will get sick of it. ^_^,
Have you considered doing a remix yourself?
Hi Kamex
I used to be obsessed with crazy error...
The Bad Apple part gave me shivers, seriously.
hi im shana me too! I was like "HE DIDNT!"
Literal chills.
2:50 and I. Was. S H O O K.
DITTO!!! Damn I love Garcia's orchestration arrangements
My mouth would not close lol, it was so amazing!
Holy crap... Is Touhou making a comeback or something? I'm starting to see more and more of it around the internet again.
It's always been really strong and hasn't ever really died ^^
Touhou remixes are a timeless piece of art
A new game is being released, so the franchise is still going strong!
New game is released so new waifus just brought old folks together as usual.
@@phonggun the old folks are still superior huehue
People weren’t kidding about the inclusion of Bad Apple. A surprising yet elegant addition to this. This entire song screams drama, death, and Halloween! I love it ^^

Heard a little bad apple towards the end.. yEs

YEAH BABY
Sadly not Lotus Land Story version

This sounds like high art after listening to the mcdonalds' version
Have a funny match up in Rivals?
@@alathmasster2189 A what
@@emilygordbort7300 there's a modded character for rivals of aether (a fighting game) which is ronald mcdonald, iirc the roundstart animation for him play u.n owen was her (the mcdonalds one)
Fun Fact: This song's real name is "Final Savage Sister Flandre S" or "Last Brutal Sister Flandre S" depending on the translation. Death Waltz was a joke piano piece based on U.N. Owen Was Her. Somebody made an impossible remix of FSSFS, and named it after Death Waltz. And so the incorrectly named remixes and covers blossomed forth.
Cool music though. I rate 10/10.
Oh good, that means both me and sully got that wrong.
i had also looked into this and your comment raised some inconsistencies with my own research so went back and looked deeper. At this point my current understanding is: Flandre actually has TWO themes one of which is called "U.N. Owen Was Her" from EoSD and the other is "who cares" from FDF. as for the other names it appears that
the real Death waltz is an unrelated piano composition and what everyone thinks is death waltz is actually just a
poorly named piano version of "Last Brutal Sister Flandre S" which is itself a remix of U.N. Owen Was Her. feel free to correct me as part or all this may be wrong.
Also Im pretty sure the OG Death Waltz has nothing to do with Touhou at all, it was made by a composer as an impossible piano piece or something like that. I think what happened was someone mistakenly labled an impossible remix of U.N. Owen Was Her as Death Waltz leading the two to become conflated.
@@eternaldoom1042 FDF? As in Fantastic Danmaku Festival? Isn't that just a fangame?
Final Savage Sister Flandre S is an arrangement of the original song, the original from the video game (touhou 6 - EoSD) is "U.N. Owen was Her?" And FDF is a fangame.
3:08 man this part makes me wish touhou had an professional anime, because this part is so overwhelming it would fit perfectly. From all the Death Waltz version this has become my absolute favorite, much thanks.
Fantasy Kaleidoscope
@@ripsnip5336 They said "professional"
The actual name isn't Death Waltz bruh
Like the other guy said, Fantasy Kaleidoscope is pretty solid. Even better than some of studio quality animes.
@@yicheng8763 whilst i rly appreciate the work of Fantasy Kaleidoscope and respekt the ppl working on it. It does have alot of missed opportunities, and often proper animated fights are avoided. Yes it is better than lots of animes out there but with my claim i rather was pointing towards a real mid to higher budged animation with more atmosphere and well animated danmaku fights. Ofc im thankfull to have Fantasy Kaleidoscope its better than nothing and it could be alot worse.
I got goosebumps when that organ part hit
Then my goosebumps got goosebumps when it turned into Bad Apple with the harpsichord
oh man, if you are planning on doing more Touhou with your style, you are going to totally NAIL it.
i love it, every single bit of it, especially that bit of Bad Apple you put at 3:20.
i love it and i love your channel, thank you for everything.
it started earlier then that
At 2:51 to be exact
2:12 sort of starts to sound like it, although not exactly

Oh dear , It seems like a bad apple

Bad Apple next orchestration ?
That bit sounded amazing! Would love to hear a full peice like that.
As someone who loves both classical and anime music, bless u, this is mangificent!!
Bloody hell this is just woah yes!! Can't believe you did a Touhou remix, I'd absolutely love to see some more Touhou in the future
Yato
I'm imagining a cover of chinese tea, with chinese instruments. Pretty accurate, huh?
Well, well, well! This was a pleasant suprise! Incredible job dude holy heck man! This is one of my favorite pieces you've done thus far!
The part from 2:32 - 2:50 sounds like John Williams signature rhythmic style!
Sounds more like godzilla is gonna to eat my grilled cheese
Sully Orchestration holy, crap now that you mention it it really does!
It does!
I just checked its a slowed down motif of The Rite of Spring
Props to the one who guessed rite of spring.
the Bad Apple part starting at 2:50 is superb
I like how this song sounds like my favorite dramatic song ending, but without actually ending.
S P O O P Y
I noticed that little mix of Bad Apple in there, see you 😁
Tamia McDonald I wish we could listen to the whole Bad Apple in that style
I've listened to a fair amount of Touhou orchestrations, and I've gotta say yours really has a distinctive style to it! Looking forward to more :D
Wow! This has got to be one of the best versions of this I've heard in a long while! Fantastic job, you did great tackling an infamous classic!
Oooooooh..l nostalgia. I remember the days I spent listening to so much touhou music. Good times. It’s great to relive it again with this beautiful rendition.
This orchestra is fantastic! I love how you implemented many different styles and added other songs from the franchise in it.
This is actually the best version of this song I've heard yet. You really put your own spin on it.
Definitely my favorite piece of yours so far. Your style of switching between.. styles of instruments? Instrumentals? (don't know too much about music) shines with a song like this. Good job Rush!
You know, I thought I'd lost it at how good this was once the organ kicked in; then you added a harpsichord Bad Apple. Bravo in making my favorite cover of this piece friend.
A thunderous sound escapes the winds grasp from the courtyard. Eliza and I race through the palace, desperate to find the Prince. When we arrive, we see the ground has split open and there is the Prince, splayed on the floor, unconscious, just a few metres away from the gorge. Red light and fire erupt forth from the gaping crevice. Everything begins to shake uncontrollably and I fall to my knees. I see Eliza still upright, rocking in time with the tremors. Damn Eliza and her steady sea-legs. From the gorge comes a woman draped in black and red, with wings of sparse multicoloured feathers. She has claws for hands and blood dripping from her mouth; whether it's hers or not, I cannot tell. She floats in the air for a second and then drops to the ground, her feet weightlessly tapping the cobblestones of the courtyard.
I raise myself to my feet and draw swords. Eliza does the same. Our only objective is to protect the Prince, and it seems like the mysterious woman knows this. She takes a moment to compose herself and then dashes towards the unconscious Prince. Eliza throws one of her swords like a spear and scrapes the demon's cheek. "The next one is going in your eye if you so much as TOUCH him."
She turns and finally addresses our presence. "My my my, but where are your MANNERS, dear?" she smiles with sadistic pleasure as she examines the wound with her hand. Miraculously, the gash on her left cheek disappears, fully healed. Not even a scar remains. We gasp in awe as the demon flexes her knuckles and moves to a sparring stance. It seems imbalanced and too light for someone who can pack a punch, so I relax. She must be a lesser demon. From her left eye emerges a rod of what I can only describe being her mana, red and black and evil. She pulls it from her socket and inspects it. With a quiet 'Click', a blade emerges from the top part of the rod, revealing a scythe. Eliza and I move to our fighting stances, something we must have had engraved into our memories from the countless hours of training. The demon only smiles. What is she thinking? Suddenly, she jumps and is gone. I feel the wind rush behind the nape of my neck and my mind freezes. She swings her scythe. My body reacts on its own, muscle memory the only thing in between me and a fissure athwart my waist. I swing around in time to block her with my sword. Metal clashes with metal and sparks fall onto the floor, dying moments after. Eliza is next to me in seconds and attacks whilst I hold the demons scythe in place. She quickly relinquishes it and jumps back to dodge the incoming blade.
I instinctively run towards the demon to help Eliza, but I have to save the Prince first. Eliza nods in agreement and attempts to stall for as long as she can. The demon throws her scythe into the air and it splits in two, becoming a pair of hooked daggers. As the demon and Eliza clash, I run to the Prince and check for signs of life. He looks fine. In his arms is a book facing down. The title says 'Grimoire of the Black Cloud'. I gasp in horror. Had the Prince summoned the demon on PURPOSE? There's no time to contemplate how things came to be, I have to bring the Prince to a safe place while I take care of whatever he's summoned. I look back at Eliza. She seems to be holding up, for now. The Prince coughs erratically and spasms back to life. He blinks his eyes into concentration and looks up at me.
"Where... Where am I?"
"You summoned a demon in the castle courtyard and now you need to go somewhere safe," I say shortly, picking the Prince up in my arms. Thank the gods that he's light. "Let's go."
"Wait," the Prince says. I ignore him and run towards a sheltered corridor. The Prince struggles in my arms and escapes my grasp, tumbling to the ground and standing promptly afterwards. "Wait! I know how to stop that thing."
"How?"
"With this," he says, opening the spellbook and revealing a page that looks unlike the rest. It has a more yellowed tinge to the paper, whilst the rest of the pages look white and fresh.
"What do you need, Sire?"
"Time," he responds. "Buy me some time."
I nod and return to the fighting.
Eliza has tired fast. Her movements look sluggish and lag behind the demon's, who looks as if she's only just started. She swings her scythe multiple times at Eliza, who is barely able to parry each time with simple blocks and feeble slashes in response. The demon jumps over her and attacks from above. Eliza blocks with her sword using both arms, her body aching from the force of the creature. What WAS she? The demon's grin only widens. She turns into a veil of smoke whilst a duplicate reappears behind Eliza who continues to fight against the woman that hangs in the air above her. I gasp.
"Eliza! Run!"
She turns toward me and realises too late. The second demon's hand digs into her back. For a moment, everything freezes. Then Eliza starts to choke. She coughs and gags as blood spews from her mouth. First in rivulets, and then in hearty streams. She slumps to the ground with a light 'Thud' and doesn't move. I scream. It's the only thing that I can do. I scream and scream until my head is about to explode. The demon in the air dissipates into nothing, leaving the demon on the ground with Eliza, who lays still.
Hope you enjoyed! (Note: Any words in CAPITALS are meant to replace Italics, as I can't write with them in the RUclips comments section)
Nice take! Was a fun little read.
@@uboa8060 it wasn't little it was BIG!
That what I call a good fanfiction
How tf did I almost miss this on my feed? This is fantastic, Rush! Love your work with the strings, damn.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!! I feel like I've been wanting this version of this song since I first heard it
As expected, it's amazinggg~ I always love it when someone adds an extra note, it's just a nice touch every time. And yes ohmigod, the Bad Apple ;-;.
DUDE WTF ITS SO BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH MAOUAHAHAHA
Amazing job! I really love it. It's the first piece that I've heard that really does the song Justice
Always nice seeing a little bit of life from the fandom. You did an excellent job as always here, Rush. An unexpected delight, but certainly not an unwelcome one.
Touhou orchestration??
Mad lads
Absolute ledge

Holy fuck this turned out well. This has to be my all-time favorite of your orchestrations as of yet. It is just so well done in every way I can think of. Thank you!
The bad apple part sent a chill running down my spine
I friggin love this song. Love you even more for this arrangement, holy crap it was so good.
2:12 im freaking love that circle of 5th
Ohh nice, glad you took a foray into Touhou, your orchestrations are always so good. Welcome to the bastion of music remixes and covers that is Touhou, we hope you enjoy your stay.
It feels like ascending in a burning cathedral, surrounded by a spiritual upheaval that carries you along with the wave. The mind is sent spiraling up and up, beyond the clouds and past mountains before returning, burning like the brightest meteors.
The part at 2:50 is absolutely amazing!
oooooooHHH i really like this song, reminded me hearing this song played on the piano and this remade orchestra version makes it sound much better! (including the background. this is really epic, rush. Thank you.
I loved U.N owen was her when i was kid and played it on piano then rush garcia rushes off to make this, i just had goosebumps..MY CHILDHOOD the bad apples come in- my hEART AAAAAAAAAAAA
Always hyped for a new release! This one is no exception. Amazing music as always, keep them coming 10/10!
This gives me the impression of someone battling insanity and split personalities. It jumps to and fro between tragic, determined, foreboading and tense.
AKA the actual fight with flandre
Being locked in the basement for 495 years with no contact with the outside world except for your sister who imprisoned you there in the first place will do that to ya.

Over here prepared with my popcorn and soda❤️
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS THANK YOU
Tsk, now I really really want to hear you do bad apple. That little taste you put in this left me hungering for more.
Admittedly I originally click on this video forever ago because it had my name in the title, but holy shit this not only introduced me to the amazing orchestrations of Rush (a long with the gravity falls one you did that I never looked to far into) but it also introduced me to the world of tohou music. Thank you for this beautiful beautiful piece friend
That intro though! Just jumping right into the epicness, aren't we? I'm loving it 👌
I'm so late to the party and it's worth listening to even though Halloween was last week. Serious favorite of mine to see redone in a super way :D I freaking love the bad Apple bit 😍
ahw yeah! Touhou in epic orchestral!!! This is so good. We need more touhou arranges
Never thought you'd do one! Amazing job!
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU DID THIS BUT THANK YOU IT'S SO GOOOOD!!!
This is definitely gonna play if she somehow gets a matured form
I didn't quite understand music as an art until I heard this

BROOOOOOO THE MOMENT I HEARD BAD APPLE I WAS BLOWN AWAY
Don’t know what this is.... but I’ll take it, nice work 👍
Basically where this originates from is the bullet hell game series called Touhou, it's a classic by now, been around since about the 1990's I think. There are so far 16 games in the series and some of its songs are quite great too, well that's to be expected since there are so damn many of them (over 100 I think)
The series started in 1995 and there are like 27 games, also there is official manga and music CDs
P. S. There are over 700 songs
Yep, listen to him not me. I haven't really brushed up on my Touhou knowledge in a while now
Fun Fact:
McRoll’d.
And lemme guess Alphastar, you discovered this channel through Undertale remixes? If so, then you should know that Toby Fox based alot of undertale off of Touhou.
*waiting for those deltarune remixes, especially since she might be doing touhou now*
This is the best orchestra version I have found so far.
I've listened to so many remixes of this song i lost count of them ... but yours is surely one of the best. thank you
Spoopy Halloween!!! I love this orchestration, keep it up!!!
your arrangement of this song should be halloween's theme from now on. it really captures the dread, chaos, and overall shenanigans that can occur on halloween night.
I’m in love with 1:42
sickass tsuin-tail flandre
Waiting for a Spkooy Scary Skeleton orchestration...
I'm crying right now... it's so beautiful !
I don't understand how you aren't over the 100 thousand subs bar yet.
Keep up the good work !
Also, a Black clover orchestration one day ?
The Bad Apple sample was perfect, I was in shock hearing it done so beautifully.
First and foremost as a subscriber I would like to apologize for not seeing that you had posted this sooner but I am so glad that I saw it before it got buried in my subscription box. This is truely an amazing orchestral cover that I can tell took a lot of time and effort to produce. Your attention to instrumentation, rhythm, tonation, evolution, and dynamic have truely given not only this song the respect that it deserved and more but has cemented you in mind as a true artist worthy of the title maestro. I aspire to be even as half as a talent and hardworking composer / cover writer as you are and will listen to your other works in anticipation for your next masterpiece. When the time comes and I have saved enough funds I would be more than honored to commission you. Until then please continue your amazing work and let your passion show.
Ah! Yes this is amazing! I was waiting for you to post after Sully did! I love it. Keep up the awesome work!
I don't have enough time to listen but I do have enough time to write this lol. I gotta go to bed but I bet this sounds great
It's 2 am, I'm tired, I'm lying in bed, but I will always have time for Rush.
Hey man! Thanks for uploading your works on spotify. I wish you all the good stuff. 😁
Now this is what I call.. MUSIC!
I guess you could say this song was to die for. Brilliant work!
