Departures - Guilty Crown ED1 [Piano]

Sheet music → Departures is one of the ending songs I have never skipped while I was watching Guilty Crown because the voice of chelly from EGOIST and the heart warming mood of the song is a perfect way to close a series after each episode. I also took a two month break before I started to arrange this song because I was in a musical slump for a long time and couldn’t finish any arrangements I have been working on. But whenever I am listening to songs composed by ryo (supercell), my inspiration is slowly coming back again. I think I just have a special soft spot for his compositions. This piano arrangement features some jazzy elements for the first time, because I have been recently improvising a lot with a friend, who is an active jazz pianist. But I still don’t fully understand it yet, because Jazz is just so much different than the classical music I grew up with. I really admire pianists who can play both jazz and classical Music at the same time and it looks like I still have much to learn. Departures also has an extended coda at the end, which is inspired by the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no. 2. I also started practicing more Rachmaninoff piano pieces in my conservatory and I was fascinated by the exotic harmonies as well as his “endlessly“ long melody lines in his compositions. The original “Departures“ ended with a jazzy D13 chord but since I am too used to the structure of classical music, I tried to bring the song to a more “traditional“ musical conclusion with a Emajor chord. Last but not least: I have reached 900k subscribers! Thank you so much for your support! Nine hundred thousand subscribers for a piano YouTube channel... it still feels like a dream to me. There are still so many pieces I want to arrange for the piano and I hope I can upload my next arrangements soon. With that said, see you next time!
