il vento d'oro (ジョルノのテーマ / 処刑用BGM)-ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 5部 黄金の風 メインテーマ

I have always wanted to arrange music from JoJo and today is finally the day!

Giorno's Theme (or: il vento d'roro) is probably one of the most recognizable JoJo Soundtrack within the Anime community and I challenged myself to create a piano arrangement, which can live up to its name.

The arrangement itself is basically a Piano Etude because the left hand is spamming syncopated octaves nonstop in 0:18, 1:28 and 2:20 and it is fairly challenging to master it. You need a lot of stamina and a good sense of rhythm in order to maintain the groovy bassline of this piano arrangement. Because without that groovy rhythm, the entire piece would sound flat on the piano.

Giorno's Theme is also one of the Jazziest pieces I have ever arranged and it's especially noticeable in the "instrumental solo" part in 1:28. Instead of copying exactly the original saxophone voice of the original song, I created my own piano solo part, to make the best use of all 88 keys on the piano.

The famous "piano solo" part in 3:08 also deserves some mention. This is the only time where I am playing legato in order to create an eerie atmosphere... before the enemy is being MUDA MUDA MUDA'd into oblivion (btw, this song is known in Japan

as the "execution theme" (処刑用BGM)

Arriverderci.
