This entire thing sounds like an opening for a dreamworks animated film about shovel knight. In fact the first 31 seconds go eerily well with the logo. This gives me an idea! 0:00-0:31 The Dreamworks Animation logo appears but with Shovel Knight in place of the fisher boy, wielding the fishing anchor-thing. 0:32-0:40 "Dreamworks Animation Presents" 0:41- 1:09 A narration begins: *"Long ago in a far off corner of the world, a land of wonder, magic and danger existed. It was untamed, roamed by legendary heroes and adventurers. And of these adventurers, none shone brighter than Sheild knight and Shovel Knight."* At the beginning of the narration, we get a wide shot of land, all the towns and dungeons. We dolly into one of these dungeons, where after we get an establishing shot, we cut to inside where enemies from the game are sulking and being dicks to each other. Then just before the music swells, they hear noises and turn their heads. Then just as the music finishes swelling... 1:10-1:43 Shield and Shovel knight burst in, adventuring and defeating the monsters as the creatures attack, making witty banter as they do, in a Captian America and Black widow style. They defeat a big monster quickly and Shield Knight finds a secret chamber with a hill of treasure, darting in immediately to gaze in awe and glee at the gold. Shovel knight joins in and the two excitedly hug in happiness,. 1:44-2:38 *"In their travels, their spoils were great and the celebrations extravagant. Their wills were strong, and their bond... Unbreakable. Together they have accomplished much and had many great adventures together. But a day will come when they will be separated by a dark force, where one of them will have to quest alone. And when that happens, it will lead to a journey of bravery wits and inner strength. And this could perhaps lead to the greatest adventure... of all."* During the narration, a grand out party is thrown by Shovel and Sheild Knight with a whole slew of guests, implying their great wealth. During the line about their bond, they grasp each other's hands and exchange a caring look. We then cut to an overhead shot of the night sky with the tower of fate in the distance, we move closer and closer, util we are inside and a bright white light envelops the screen. 2:39-2:41 The title appears. and the film begins...
This is so amazing and smooth, it's like the intro showing there's a book opened by itself, until the narrator tells the story of a shovel knight tries to break an evil curse.
Shovel knight needs a tv show. Think about it! A story to build upon the world, and each knight of the order of no quarter! I would love to see shovel knight adventure through the land whilst bumping into each member multiple times along the way! We could even use sheild knight as a main character if we set it before the events of the game, or even after!
I'm very impressed! I've heard orchestras play Zelda, Mario, etc but this is the first orchestra arrangement I've heard for Shovel knight. Nicely done! Ever considered doing music from the old Sierra Adventure games? They have great music, hearing your take on Kings Quest 5 or 6, or "Quest for Glory" would be AMAZING! Just saying... ;)
Shovel Knight is a really good game. One of the best i have ever played. The orginal mine theme is that epic that i can`t listen it because of it`s epicness. Sorry Blake, your cover is amizing but there is nothing better than the orginal version combined with memories from this game.
This was simply beautiful. I loved the game and the OST was a big part of the experience (just like in similar games such as megaman), therefore listening to this version made a lot of memories come back. Thank you!
Excellent work on the Main Theme here, I would love to hear your rendition of 'Of Devious Machinations'. Hands down one of the best songs in the game :)
Still haven't finished this game. Mostly because it's balls hard and my screen loves going into power saving mode when I play on the controller. Gotta get around to adjusting that.
your arrangements are really something else! I keep missing your live streams, I wish I didn't because I would really love to ask your advice on arrangements and VSTIs
I find it interesting that you went with a 3/4 time signature instead of 4/4. It makes your arrangement feel layed back. It's almost like a triumphant recollection of events past, unlike the original, which feels like an epic call to action.
You are so fucking talented! Maybe you should make your titles / thumbnails a bit "easier to click" so to speak. You have the potential to get millions of views on each video!
"Top 10 most amazing music covers YOU have NEVER heard!! (number 8 will shock you)", and add a giant red circle in the thumbnail that circles out nothing, with a big red arrow next to it.
***** What ***** said. You could commision artwork from various artists wanting a bit of promotion and just slap your logo on it and use it as a thumbnail. Make them pop out a bit more, only deep blue and grey on the covers makes them look uninteresting.
If they ever make a sequel... They need to use THIS in the teaser And they can’t give it an obvious title It needs to be labeled like “what is a hero?” or “the return” or something that style
Thanks, man. I'm never really picky when it comes to brass or woodwinds, but I hate when strings have that midi sound (unless the song's a retro video game track or something)
I like the timbre of the price itself, but as a recreation of the Shovel Night's theme, it's too lyrical. But still well written and the colors are the same for the entirety of the piece. So you get a thumbs up from me.

Yes, perhaps one of the best modern non Nintendo games out there! I know this comment is a year old but I cannot express my love for this game enough.
Just wanted to let you know this is awesome. My little girl and I listen to this in the car all the time on repeat!
Glorious cover.
this is too good.
This literally sounds like something you would hear at the beginning of a Live Action mini series of Shovel Knight! Amazing job man!
This is one of the most epic tracks you've done. Keep it up!
Holy Shovel, dude, that was simply beautiful. Thank you so much for creating this! ‹3

Like Always... So mush great work !
This is amazing. I love you so much for doing this since Shovel Knight is one of my favorite games. I would love if you did Specter Knight's theme :3
Amazing work!!
This is my favorite cover from you. Really nice.
This is great! Brought me chills! Thank you!
Steel Thy Shovel! *dodododooo!*
Amazing Blake!!
Been waiting for a Shovel Knight orchestration for a while, and this one is beautiful! If you do another one, do "Requiem of Shield Knight". :P
1:07 So Is the beginning of the journey of the knight of shove
THIS SO AMAZING OH MY GOD
D: this is such good music! I can't believe I missed this being created :(
This was well orchestrated
And I'm not being sarcastic
Excellent work on the Main Theme here, I would love to hear your rendition of 'Of Devious Machinations'. Hands down one of the best songs in the game :)
HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AWESOME!
Yoda? Is that you?
Monty Pig of the Doodle Clan uh...y-yes...yes it is...
WAIT, FORCE GHOSTS HAVE INTERNET?! xD
Monty Pig of the Doodle Clan yes...yes we do...
lol. I'll stop being stupid. XD
Still haven't finished this game. Mostly because it's balls hard and my screen loves going into power saving mode when I play on the controller. Gotta get around to adjusting that.
I guess it's time to find a cure for the Curse of Procrastination already.
Awesome
i love this theme
I would love to see a 3D/High resolution version of Shovel Knight. With that kind of music. Love it
Shovel Knight: The Movie
Digging into theaters near you!
(Not anytime soon)
I'm in Love 😍
If you do another from SK I suggest flowers of antimony.
What does SK stand for? Shovel Kite?
Either that or The Vital Vitriol!
+AgentOfTheNether shovel knight.
What about "in the halls of the usurperer"?
your arrangements are really something else! I keep missing your live streams, I wish I didn't because I would really love to ask your advice on arrangements and VSTIs

DO FLOWERS OF ANTIMOMY. PLEASE
I read that as *anatomy* XD
I DO IT SOMETIMES TO
This is what I imagine when I look up orchestral covers of things and I have been disappointed every time until now
You just gained a subscriber.
as if this song couldn't get any more epic...
can you do strike the earth?
shovels up for this
You are so fucking talented! Maybe you should make your titles / thumbnails a bit "easier to click" so to speak. You have the potential to get millions of views on each video!
Thanks! In what way do you think they could be made easier to click?
This man played shovel knight and you won't believe what happens next. Awesome music, keep up the good work!
"Top 10 most amazing music covers YOU have NEVER heard!! (number 8 will shock you)", and add a giant red circle in the thumbnail that circles out nothing, with a big red arrow next to it.
***** What ***** said. You could commision artwork from various artists wanting a bit of promotion and just slap your logo on it and use it as a thumbnail. Make them pop out a bit more, only deep blue and grey on the covers makes them look uninteresting.
I see that you are following this idea by changing colours, Blake. I really do like it! 100K here you come!
Pls do plains of passage blake!
Sweet
Shovel Knight would make a cool movie!
Strike the Earth is my personal favourite from the Shovel Knight OST.
I just not so recently found this channel and so far it's one of my favorites! So it got me asking, how did you get your skill to make these songs?
YEEESSS!!!
Shovel Knight: The Movie
This is so fucking rad
Can you do Sam Raimi's Spiderman Theme please
But... it's already an orchestra arrangement O_o
that one dislike is the enchantress
Please, do the Courage Under Fire (Armorer Village) next!
It could be interesting for you to try a disasterpeace song. :)
In Fez OST or Hyper Light Drifter OST. :)
Really nice work on this one !
WE NEED A SHOVEL KNIGHT REMAKE or movie
Do Conker music!!!!
Can you make strike the earth ?
Perhaps this is me asking for a lot, but maybe you could give "Starlit Wilds" a similar treatment?
If they ever make a sequel...
They need to use THIS in the teaser
And they can’t give it an obvious title
It needs to be labeled like “what is a hero?” or “the return” or something that style
make you soundtrack from legend of guardians?
1:08
Send this to Virt :)
He will add it to the "Strike the Earth!" Soundtrack.
"This is the story of a knight, *a shovel knight*...."
wow
Shovel Knight 2!
Amazing job! You should do Megalovania from Undertale next!
dude you are a fucking beast
FOR SHOVELRY!
_Movie Music!_
i love you
I love you
Shovel knight with skyrim gameplay
*For Shovelry*
STRIKE THE EARTH
Shovel Knight: The Movie ?
Where's all the energy that made the original piece so great?
Uhhhh 60 seconds in? Did you even bother listening?
Is there a Jurassic Park quote in there?
Steel thy shovel
Can you.....DIG IT!?
Love it! As always great job, Blake. What software are you using? I've been thinking about my next batch of strings VSTs to buy.
Thanks - Easy when the original music is so good, though! The strings in this piece were Spitfire Audio BML Sable, and Albion.
Thanks, man. I'm never really picky when it comes to brass or woodwinds, but I hate when strings have that midi sound (unless the song's a retro video game track or something)
Also, was wondering, do you ever do commissions or collaborations?
It looks like the head of his shovel broke off
perhaps something from a Blizzard game, like World of Warcraft or Overwatch?
Destiny?
Shovel knight movie anyway?
I will happily take the role of my BOIS Plauge knight or Tinker knight.
I will happily Play the role of Plauge knight
A dislike for Mathieu U_U
#unsub
I can hear a narrator for this
Suddenly I'm getting Merlin flashbacks
I like the timbre of the price itself, but as a recreation of the Shovel Night's theme, it's too lyrical. But still well written and the colors are the same for the entirety of the piece. So you get a thumbs up from me.
