Hollow Knight had a soundtrack that made me feel things. It was never there to pump me up and even during the epic scores I always felt an undertone of hopelessness like they were fighting against a force that wouldn’t stop no matter how much they cut down and the more somber songs legit nearly make me cry because they sound that much more sad.

This rendition of Christopher Larkin's already beautiful soundtrack is amazing. This arrangement brings a whole new sense of magic and beauty that wasn't there in the original pieces (which I found especially in Hornet, Mantis Lords, White Palace, Sealed Vessel, Radiance, and the Main Theme). The excellent transitions along with the triumphant, adventurous mood this portrayed brought a smile to my face multiple times. Well done. Well done indeed. This will definitely not be the last time I listen to this. Keep up the good work!
@@nyxshadowhawk Christopher Larkin, when composing the soundtrack, just made a lot of different types of tracks. Some only had one instrument, or focused on one. To have pieces like "Mantis Lords" focus on something other than just the Harpsichord in an orchestral score is majorly different to me.
I feel like this ost was meant to flow smoothly between songs, to be able to transition between areas and bosses in this world of Hallownest. But this beautiful orchestral suite blends them together to make a perfect song.
Very beautifully done--there is such a wide variety of time signatures and key changes throughout the Hollow Knight soundtrack that would make combining all these themes a giant headache... I can see a lot of that in the stopping and starting points between what can almost be considered different movements in your work. You did a superb job of merging and transitioning between themes that were similar, and you definitely captured the range of emotions that Hollow Knight evokes. A lot of people might criticize you for having what might be considered a lackluster ending, but those that have played the game know and can feel the emotional ties to ending on that stunning, haunting solo piano, and how it alludes back to the player's lonely journey through the Hallownest. Fantastic job, you've got a standing ovation from me~
I, as a violist, am absolutely in love with the use of the viola voice throughout this arrangement. A lot of composers would have looked straight to the cello or violin for a lot of sections, but I think the sections where the viola is a prevalent voice really give it a unique, rich sound, and I'm so, so glad to hear it. Much love for this rendition of the sounds from one of my fav games!
Beautiful! My only criticism would be with time signatures. Greenpath would have felt more natural had you kept the time signature in 6/4, at least until the key change to E major. That, or score the whole section in 3/4 and double the values. As for the 7/8 - 9/8, that would work better as a deliberate 4/4 section rather than switching back and forth. The Mantis Lords would have read easier in a fast 3/4 and would benefit from not changing to 6/8 until measure 255. The Radiance’s 12/8 section seems more suited to a 3/4 section followed by a 4/4. Just my two cents. Incredible work, regardless! And more solo viola is always appreciated. ;)
Thank you very much for the comment. In this soundtrack there are many cross-rhythmic effects which makes it very interesting. Greenpath the beat is in dotted half note (in the score it specifies), the bass notes in the harp mark the beat of 3 in 3 and the melody is binary, so it could perfectly be in 6/4. But I think the natural tempo is 6/8, and I simply double the tempo to 12/8 so that the cross-rhythmic can be more easily subdivided and link it better with City of tears. Dung Defender is a clear example of cross-rhythmic, in this case it would be an 8/4 for the phrasing or a 4/4 with beat=78 but would be many sixteenths. But if you look at the accent it indicates very well the beat 2+2+3 and 2+2+3+2. The Mantis Lords look well where the accent is, it is totally binary. 6/8 is an additional bar, you can feel it in the phrase. Radiance another example of cross-rhythmic melody is binary and ternary accompaniment, this causes instability to the melody and cool a lot. The choir clearly marks the beat. Then you could change it to 4/4, but it's not necessary, even on 12/8 you could have started beats before. Thanks for feedback
VGOScore I suppose that’s a fair point. With all due respect, the cross rhythms would exist regardless of the time signature, so I suppose it doesn’t matter if it’s 3/4 or 6/8, in a way. I suppose I was looking at it from the perspective as a performer and also a conductor and where the beat is more naturally felt, at least to me. Greenpath is pretty difficult to conduct in 12/8, to be honest and the hemiola is actually created by the dotted quarter note, meaning the time signature is not defined by it. The 7/8 + 9/8 I guess makes sense but not when the melody comes in. The melody is very clearly defined in a 4/4, or 4/2, in this case if you left the same values. The sixteenth note runs in the violins make this especially clear, as well. The Mantis Lords is actually very much defined in 3/4 by the way you wrote it. The accents are placed on up beats if it were in 6/8 but would be on down beats in 3/4. And this is definitely one that I feel strongly from a player perspective when I take a look at the string parts. For The Radiance, the bass line clearly marks that this should probably be in a simple meter and not a complex, as it is defined by the quarter note, not a dotted quarter note. And again, running sixteenth notes make 3/4 the much more typical time signature. Sorry! I really enjoy transcribing for string orchestra/quartet and rhythm and time signatures are something that I really take into consideration when doing so, so I just wanted to share my thoughts.
@@NintendoViola Sometimes it can be very subjective about writing compound rhythms, I always try to detect where the accents and phrases are. Maybe the composer comes and tells us that we were wrong lol
This is actually fantastic, the best remixes of Hollow Knight's amazing soundtrack I have ever heard. The transitions are perfect, it is powerful, glorious, and emotional all at once. I tip my hat to you because this is amazing.
The city of tears theme. What a fantastic moment. Sharing a bench with quirrel. You barely understood the story, but now there you are thrust into the middle of it. Beautiful ambiance, tons of new things to explore. My favorite zone by far.
enter Hallownest sounds loke this kingdom is full and alive and all its citiezens have their own story and you expirience it, you live with it, but then greenpath starts and you realize what's the reality, and you remember what happened to Hallownesr, and its sad but the same time so peacful...
One year later, Many of us all wait patiently for silksong. Also Just for everyone here, I think they will try to get it out as fast as possible because of how many people want it done, especially after Reyleas stream
when i played hollow knight i was like: wow this music is pretty nice. Then i watched this... I wish i could play the game with these as the themes instead of the original music
I like how you end it with the gentle opening theme after all the epic finale music, like when the player reaches an ending and returns to the main menu.
Chills down my spine the whole way. This OST is already so emotional, and your rendition of it brought tears to my eyes. I would do anything to listen to an orchestra playing this. Thank you so much !
This entire piece is just beautiful. Both the orchestra and the original OST are brilliant, Thanks for this wonderful work, you have won a new subscriber
The whole section from path of pain until the radiance gets me so. Emotional. It just pulls at my heart... I want to cry, but it's never enough for me to fully cry at its heartbreaking energy.
Ok... what the what? The unhuman yet beautiful person who took the time to arrange the partitures for a whole freaking symphonic suite of all this deserves to be inmortalized
I did not expect this to have so many instruments. working on 100% of the music in a whole game is hard enough even with just 1 instrument, but Christopher Larkin did like 15 different ones for each song. That to me is unbelievable.
This BGM, seriously. Last time I have felt this nostalgic was when I listened to Zelda's 25th Anniversary Symphony with Skyward Sword's release. It was a memory rush that reached the very core of my childhood. But now this. Truly, I have just realized how intense this game was, and how it made me feel elated with the ambience created within all levels, and how the music was always a masterpiece to be savoured apart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for arranging this score, and bringing back some good memories of now an adult that could feel again like a kid, even if it was for just 21 minutes. Cheers. ps.: the 'Resting Grounds - White Lady - White Palace' interlude was something out of this world. Goosebumps all over. Nobuo Uematsu would certainly feel astonished with that.
My Grandpa died about 4 months ago now and he used to take me to university every single day and then drop me off at home again. I got Hollow Knight and I played it everyday in the car with him and this brought tears to my eyes. It brought back a flood of memories and I actually cried because I had put those memories away but your orchestral cover made it all come back. Thank you for helping me cherish the memory of my Grandfather
I never really appreciated how well organized all of this is, until I learned to read music like it's amazing that this is for an indie game that game from nowhere and has some amazing and beautiful orchestral music. Like kudos to Team Cherry for this and we yet have Silksong to look forward to as well.

I legit cried at the hollow knight theme and the white palace theme
white palace isnt the same without buzzsaws
I need a full version of Hornet’s theme from this man.
absolutely masterpiece
Man the radiance gave me chills
I never really appreciated how well organized all of this is, until I learned to read music like it's amazing that this is for an indie game that game from nowhere and has some amazing and beautiful orchestral music. Like kudos to Team Cherry for this and we yet have Silksong to look forward to as well.
This is amazing
5:17 I-I-I I have no words. ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
the perfect combination of a perfect composer and a perfect orchestral suite
The violin has a nice tone. But getting to hear that viola solo was so refreshing and beautiful, the viola can be amazing when it gets to shine
Can't believe I sat down and watched this entire thing start to finish. This is SUCH a masterpiece!!
back for more!
Who's down to do a virtual quarantine orchestra recording of this?!
This game deserved every single award for an indie game in 2017. The game is so amazing I would say it's at least a 10/10
HOLY CRAP THIS IS EPIC
The transition from Dung Defender to Hornet to Mantis Lords works so well, and the buildup on Sealed Vessel is incredible!
The transition from White Palace into Soul Master is godly
I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO DO THIS. BUT THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU!
Dang, Sealed Vessel hits like a truck and I love it
This is the best most gorgeous compilation of hollow knight songs ive ever heard ever. This is going on my playlist for sure!
This is the best soundtrack in videogames history and nobody can change my mind
You should totally make and orchestration version of the godmaster version of the songs.if I'm not asking a lot tho
That transition from dung defender to hornet was awesome
Absolute godlike transition between Dung Defender and Hornet
