Holy ever loving crap this song from Genshin Impact’s summer event punched me square in the face and left me with my jaw on the floor. This is the reason I adore, treasure, and love Genshin impact music so very much. It is truly astounding in every sense of the word. Unbelievable. This is the future of classical music. I am HERE for it.

ive edited out the vivaldi example i included. Classical Music folks love to claim their music which is maddening as i'm trying to educate you. So annoyed. Anyway, YES it does sound like Summer. check out 7:00 in any vivaldi summer video…you'll see what I mean
Hope you get to play a character on GI some day, Marco!
Cant wair for your Sumeru review! Many more good music.
would love your thoughts on enkanomiya's battle theme
Outer Wilds
i agree this is the evolution of classical music. since the innovation of classical genre have been literally at peak, the only way to create unique classical compositions in these days is putting classical and 'modern' type of instruments at the same harmony.
remember when you said saxophone has been rarely used in orchestra because it doesn't connect with other classical instruments? imo, electric guitar also should have not connected well. but hoyomix successfully created it. not to mention they added flamenco/classical guitar to baroque composition, people's mind in 1700s would be blown if they're listening to this piece.
another amazing vid as always. love your work, marco.
man.. i got tears for the 1st time in months looking at your genuine reaction to this masterpiece. Your videos create a perfect atmosphere to enjoy music on a deeper level than i am used to, and it's simply amazing! And the feeling of admiring it together with another human being is also great.
I also suggest listening to Burst into Flames which is Xinyan's battle domain music which is in my opinion, a twist on a classic.
I understand how you feel. Sometimes the evolution of music can progress slower than we want it to. There will always be those who strive to create something new and those who want to conserve the old. The beauty of art is that these two can exist together. I'm sure this type of orchestral music Hoyo-mix introduced us to, will be a lot more popular in the near future but waiting can be a pain. I could hear the frustration in your voice and I wanted to say I share your feelings as well 🙂 Thanks for the great videos!
I still can't believe they composed this banger ost only for a limited time event. 😂
Everytime I hear that "Genshin Impact is a stupid game, only stupid teens play it", I want to force these people to feel the lore, the style and one of the best videogame OSTs I've ever heard. It has so much soul to it, I can't understand how can you call such music bad, no way. If it's not your juice, it's okay, but you can't say it has nothing good about it.
The electric guitar sound so sexyyy!!!!!!!
You looked like you had a lot of fun. I'm happy for that. And it also seems like you found a proper method of interrupting the music. A method that you like. But always remember to approach this however you want.
Genshin made me love orchestral and classical music. And it's always been my least favorite type of music. It's hard for me to get into music like that, But there are exceptions. The two that I remmber the most are FGO And Genshin Impact.
This theme goes hard. It feels like the ultimate flex, Though. Hoyo-Mix are amazing.
And there's even more news. We're have a new region, With new and amazing music. Also, It means that we'll have a new weekly boss theme! I can't wait for that.
I'm looking forward to more reactions of Genshin. Andrius, A lot of the other battle themes in the game, And The chasm and Enkanomiya are itching for a reaction!
P.S: If you'll react to Andrius battle theme, Plz make sure it has both phases.
Anyway, Have a great day/night.
She's not old. She's a goth-fantasy chuuni who loves the classics.
ynow, imaneickrietfch or however it's spelled actually means land of always nude instead of land of ever night if it's pronounced with the "ck" and they DO pronounce it with the ck
I hope you also take a listen to Ensei from Mai Hime. Requiem of Silence, Chain of Memories and Wish of the Stars from Re:Zero. Aerial Fight from Sword Art Online. YouSeeBigGirl, Before Lights Out and Vogel Im Kafig from Attack on Titan. any one of those!
genshin music goes better every patch ❤
Well Fischl's not old, but she is acting out…Archaic-ish. You know, like those students doing some Shakespeare-esque play with copious amounts "Thou" with sprinkels of "Forsooth".
seeing you so joyful and full of
i don't even know, maniac adoration? kinda YESreminds me everytime how my heart feels when i listen to good and "dense" classical music, thank you so much for expressing how i feel T_TThe descending scale leitmotif from Vivaldi's Summer is quoted throughout Fischl's battle theme, with the most prominent probably being around 6:16
finally😭
there`s more fischl domain music other than this one，please😭
there are 6 parts of fischl domain ost。they are all good
Fischl's not old, she's essentially roleplaying. Her mirage told us a lot about her and she actually won a lot of my sympathy, I like her now much more than I used to.
The classical guitar part after the buildup is Fischl's theme from her feature video, just put into very different context. You may want to check it out, just for comparison.
I love this battle theme. I had to stop while fighting in the mirage to listen to it because it was so nice. And since then I played it as OST on YouTube countless times just as background music. Funny thing, even though it has so much tension and energy in it, it also calms me down and helps me concentrate.
And yes, I love how Yu Peng Chen can integrate modern instuments like electric guitar and synthesizers with classical. I certainly hope this is the future of music or at least part of it. We must not forget that even violin and piano used to be modern instruments. It's just the fact that they're used for a long time now that they're considered classical.
Oh also yeah I hope you will react to Enkanomiya "Combat Beneath the Waves" and Chasm "Inevitable Conflict."
Bruh this is just so damn good!😭😭 and as always love ur reactions Marco🫶🏻🫶🏻
Genshin music seems to have life in it. It is one of those soundtracks you can listen to without needing any of the visuals for which it was composed (but the visuals are so much enhanced through it).
Edit: A small correction for the translation: Mittsommernacht-Fantasie means mid-summer-night fantasy (you forgot the night) however, very well pronunciation, I applaud you!
I have a deeper appreciation for this song after this delightful video! Maybe Genshin's creator is secretly a music company that made a video game.
The first time I dragged a fight and the electric guitar flew in, I was like whoa this fusion knows no limit.
If you haven't listened to Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children rendition of "One-Winged Angel" I highly encourage so.
To put this song in context, this battle music was used in the Golden Apple Archipelago event, a temporary event set on a series of small islands that becomes available for one six week cycle, then disappears. This year's event had four main islands that transformed according to the dreams and memories of one character each. It seems like the islands will come back every year but in a different form. So Fischl's castle will most likely never come back again.
So in other words, this is the battle music from one fourth of an event that only lasts for six weeks, then is gone forever.
The fact that the composer would put this much effort into something so small and temporary is mind-blowing.
talk about the classical music maestro… my favorite is Vivaldi 🙂
especially his 4 seasons symphony.
You should try swains theme from lol, though i do feel it might be too easy for u to defer his character
Yeah the coposers feel that too, I feel that they want to deliberately break out of the regular confines of classical music but still using the systems. They just know the potential that it has and push it to the next level.
Many VGM composers play really well with the boundaries between musical genres and musical systems, but I feel the ones that really push them to the limit would be Yu-Peng Chen and Masayoshi Soken.
Ah… To think that I discovered your channel simply because I wanted to experience Yun Jin's opera once again. And now I want to learn music 😅 Thank you so much for this!
Your passion and hype are infectious! Let's go baby!
It was really fun when seeing you enjoying the music xD it is so goood the music
Hoyo: ok, we got this time limited event that will only last for a month, are done recording the music, it doesn’t ha e to be that much.
Yu peng Chen: yes.
I CAN'T GET OVER of how Marco literally FEELS the MUSIC
I hope Yu-Peng Chen sees this and invited you as a collaborator for Snezhnaya's Harbinger soundtrack or any other OST in the future.
So to sum this up, this video is basically Marco making happy little noises. So cute!
You're speaking what's in my mind ! If Nier Automata OST can get recognised in game awards, I hope Genshin gets the same recognition too.
time to have a heart attack over genshin music with marcomeatball again yay

you know what I love about all of this?? . . . They know that youngers would never go to a concert of classical music… but they know that a videogame is an excellent way to spread culture. We are consuming REAL CULTURE without realised ♥♥♥
And this was just one section of a limited event that will never happen again…at least their putting the gacha money to good use
