[Piano Arrangement]潮鳴り(Roaring Tides) - Clannad OST

Sheet:https://www.mediafire.com/file/riea6z... Clannad left an indelible mark on me—its emotional depth never fades, no matter how many times I revisit it. I adore every character (except the soccer team members 🥴), each brimming with quirky personalities and unique charm. About This Arrangement: The melody itself is already profoundly moving, so I avoided complex/technical flourishes (not that I could pull them off anyway 😅). Simply transcribed the core melody and creative my custom upper voice from 00:29~1:37. While improvising at the piano, I discovered that filling melodic gaps with C-D notes felt surprisingly natural. Through experimentation, this evolved into a delicate high voice layer. Though the patterns appear repetitive, subtle variations (dynamics, articulation) gradually elevate the emotional tension toward the climax. At 1:40, I tried integrating the original’s A-C-G motif into the ascending arpeggio, but it clashed awkwardly. Sharp-eyed viewers might notice I used different fingerings for the two arpeggios. Post-arpeggio at 1:40, the emotion surges. The original repeats D-E-A(B)-E (starting at 1:43), which risks monotony without supporting harmonies. To maintain intensity: 1:44+: Recreated the background voice with octaves, though the jumps nearly killed me (I associate it with Animenz’s insane right-hand leaps in Grand Escape’s chorus 😱). 2:07+: Replaced octave jumps with repeating eighth notes to amplify momentum, pushing the climax further. Personal Highlight: The three-voice interplay in 00:29~1:37—simple yet emotionally charged. Despite the arrangement’s modest difficulty, I still fumbled a few notes (facepalm). see you next time!
