みちしるべ-ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン

Violet Evergarden was definitely one of my favorite Anime Series from 2018 and while the opening song "Sincerely" have been requested many times, I decided to arrange the ED song Michishirube first. The reason was the legendary 10th episode of Violet Evergarden.

That one episode with the letters of the mother, passed down to her daughter in the future. For me, this episode was a pure masterpiece of storytelling and emotional roller coaster. I still remember when I was watching episode 10 for the first time. I was already having massive feels when the daughter started to cry after reading her late mothers letter. And then Michishirube started to play - the full version for the first time - and we see in a time lapse how the daughter still managed to pursuit her happiness, even when both of her parents are gone.

I will never forget that heartwarming moment again. And that's the reason why I took extra effort to make this arrangement of the ED as special as possible.

The piano arrangement follows closely the original song pattern, with an "epilogue" that tells a "happily ever after" story with the music alone.

I also used a new jumping technique at 3:55 because I wanted to reflect the "sparkling" sound for the final chorus. If you have difficulties playing this, just omit the lower 'e' notes in the right hand.

Alright then.
