Davi would you be interested in doing a video about the Ace Combat 7 OST? I love the Ace Combat franchise's soundtracks and some good boss fight themes to analyze from 7 would be Daredevil and The Hero of Comberth Harbor!

They used the glass harmonica and a glass harp for the main theme because you need water to play them. That’s what you heard as the flute in the beginning.

Yes!

What you thought was a “flute” at the beginning was actually a glass harp for the first song and a glass harmonica for the second song. These instruments are both instruments that require wet fingers to be rubbed against glasses filled with varying water levels to resonate and create sound. It’s cool, because these are examples of instruments that require water to be played, very appropriate for the nation of Hydro.

Yes, you have noticed that Genshin music has a very strong emphasis on the main melodies and motifs; To me Fontaine raised the bar in terms of harmony, the battle themes go wild with key/mode changes, crazy time signatures, and sometimes they even use castanets and flamenco guitar it seems I can't wait for the weekly boss themes, because they usually incorporate rock and EDM in these boss themes, so I'm expecting some Waltzy/Flamenco rock with EDM elements, which I can't imagine, but I'm sure will be lit

The instrument you named as flute is actually just glasses with different levels of water in them!

@@DaviVascyou can see instrument on live performace for fountain music

The main theme is like a collection of motifs on which the first impression of the nation is developed on. It represents the nation as a whole. different motifs from the main theme can be generally find all throughout the region in atmospheric, battle and story music. And it has a surface level look to it... It usually shows the immediately visible part of the nation, not the hidden sides

Interesting that you mention symmetry. Fontaine in the game is the nation of hydro and justice. It makes me think of scale, fairness, duality, black and white, verdict between innocent and guilty. Also water always levels due to gravity, so water is fair regardless of the container. Damn my mind just blown.

If you want to keep reacting to Genshin Impact songs, I have a few suggestions : Scaramouche boss fight phase 1 and 2 (Rhapsodia roscida and Polumnia omnia) Andrius boss fight phase 2 (Symphony of boreal winds) All of Fontaine's battle themes (don't have names yet, they are top tier) Port ormos day and night theme (Hustle and bustle at Ormos, End of the feast) I love your analysises !

i was so happy that they use glass harp (yeah, not flute... for main) and glass harmonica (for battle)... and also HARPSICHORD 🎉i missed this instrument so much)))

really love the music analysis! Genshin really does use a main leitmotif as a basis for each region's track. Hope you can cover Sumeru and Inazuma main theme and see if you can spot the main leitmotif for those region. There's another main leitmotif that pretty much exist in a lot of genshin's tracks that is called "Photon of Fluctuation" tho you might hear it in the battle themes if you decide to cover in the future.

I think it's interesting that for the melody you said which 'keeps coming back', the very last time it was restated at 16:44 did not feature a key change to the dominant like every other iteration, instead staying in the same key. This made it sound much more triumphant and a lovely finale in my opinion. This is now my favorite regional 'main theme' from Genshin so far.

What I find interesting is, that our town to composers aren’t writing music for video games. They’re not writing music for big audiences to sit and listen to. Thank you for doing this explanation of this music , I really enjoyed it.

As to genshin music, you can have a watch of the online concert 'Reflection of Spring'. It contains seven pieces of music in the Liyue area of genshin impact. Each of them is fantastic. Especially the song 'Rage Beneath the Mountains'.

I'm obsessed with the first Fontaine Battle theme, which is called "Rondeau des fleurs et des rapiéres"

SAME. I have been listening to it nonstop and hoping i hear it everytime i battle. Didnt think i would love it sm when i first heard it tho coz w Sumeru music they set such a high bar

Title is quite funny when you take into consideration that he only listened to two tracks from the game before this one. At least as far as I know.

actually that fontaine main theme has a live symphony orchestra, same with sumeru main theme and inazuma main theme

All the themes you've heard of genshin previously is entirely composed by *"yu peng Chen"* . This name is popular wide in the community. But since Fontaine, he isn't the one composing, another group of composers also doing it. For this one specifically, it's "dimeng yuan" who composed the majority of desert battle themes.

I feel as if I have to repeat myself a lot, but Yu-Peng Chen hasn’t been the only composer working on in-game music since 2.4, with Enkanomiya. Dimeng Yuan, Yijun Jiang, Qian Ding, and Xin Zhao all joined in to work on the in-game music, as well. In 3.2, Peijia You and Arcangelo Chen were welcomed. In 3.4, June joined. In 3.6, Ziyu Che and Yuxi Wang joined. And now in 4.0, Lunan joined. A total of eleven composers at this time. Now, it appears that around 3.6-3.8, Yu-Peng Chen took a step back from composing altogether as not a single track in the 3.6 desert area and 3.8 limited-time area was composed by him, and that could’ve been a reason for why Fontaine’s main theme wasn’t composed by him. Edit: Well, he left HOYO-MiX after all…

If you want more Fontaine to react too, albeit a short one, there's Furina's theme. But some other solid ones are the battle themes. As a different region, I would love to see your reaction to God Devouring Mania, also from Genshin Impact.

Fantastic music, and I loved your breakdown. Even though I have never played the game, and am not familiar with any previous work, I found myself applauding several times, and nodding my head almost frantically. Beautifully done. It just "felt" very RIGHT! Thanks for the enjoyment! 😀

Davi, if you're going to do "Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres", listen to the short 2 minutes of "Narzissenkruez Ordo book OST" first. The story of this song begins with "Narzissenkruez Ordo book OST", it involves 4 orphan children that loved each other, but as they grew up, fate pitted them into tragic roles that ended up killing each other, "Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres" is the song that represents their final struggle and battle to the death... and no, this isn't a spoiler, it's readable text bits found within the game.

Your attention, passion and knowledge to what you are analysing that makes all your videos special, we really apreciate it!!!

Nice breakdown! Can't wait for the Azdaha boss theme and Scharamouche boss theme reaction!

You really HAVE TO listen to Scaramouche boss battle theme! Knowing the Signora theme (Fatui theme) and Raiden/Inazuma theme, you can see the mix of all three in his boss theme (since he was aligned with the Fatui and originates from Inazuma, very closely related to Raiden) and it's AN EXPERIENCE. Such an incredible piece of music! Also, the themes from Sumeru are incredible. Port Ormos and Sumeru City as much as many of the desert tracks are just a bliss.

before the archon quest ,your analyse was so correct.nice video!

Totally just subscribed wow it’s so cool to see a music composer react to genshin music! Thank you for this! Look forward to more of your work

Yay! I love this theme so much! It brings me nostalgic, but I don't know why.

We need more Genshin Impact reactions, I love how deep you go in your analysis!

Would love to see you react to the Dark Souls 3 main menu theme. It's my favorite soulsbourne song and it would be awesome seeing an experienced ear break it down. Love your videos btw!!

This was utterly beautiful. Thanks for showcasing it.

man I can see the passion you have to music

You're listening to live concert which someone combined with character trailer video for some reason. These two things don't really even belong to each other, each of them has their own video and audio published on official Genshin Impact channel. When using Genshin music, I recommend you using videos that are posted on Genshin Impact official channel or are published on Hoyo-Mix channel. You can't go wrong with these while using unofficial sources may get you into problems if you by chance use leaked content that's not been officially released yet.

soo close to 100k cant wait to see it happen

Always love your in-depth OST reviews! Anyway time to try listen to Azhdaha's battle theme and Narwhal's battle theme.

You're right on the point that the region named music is not used in the game. Starting Till inazuma, these themes used to be the main city themes. After sumeru, these themes became leimotifs that the composers would sneak in here and there in the entire region. As for Fontaine, again the theme is played at the entrance of the Fontaine city since thats the only land that people live in the entire region

Great genshin video! You should explore honkai star rail and honkai impact 3rd music too they have great music there too. Its the same company and music studio of genshin impact! ❤

Very cool analysis on the Genshing soundtrack, never thought of that kind of depth behind it Say, if you would like to try, maybe some songs by Frums might interest you? They have a good amount of tracks like Credits, Wavetapper, VIS:CRACKED, Pictured as Perfect and other ones that might peak your interest :v

7:57 I love the viola da gamba (I think) solo, a baroque instrument that looks similar to cello!

I didn't see you catch this and i don't think anyone else has but at 7:40 is you pay extra close attention, the beginning is basically Jazz Suite Waltz No. 2 on a bit of a repeat with a quick deviation.

I love how you pay so much attention to the details. Please react to more Genshin OSTs 🙏

The Fontaine theme hits so different after the Archon Quest

Genshin is absolutely full of leitmotifs, you'll see familiar tunes everywhere

After the last Archon quest in Fontaine I think nobody can listen to this Song without crying :((( Definitely another masterpiece :)

I only recently started playing Genshin Impact and it's much more fun then I thought it would be.

Hi Davi, I'd love to see you check out some HoMm (Heroes of might and magic) music, especially "The Preserve/nature theme" or "Asylum/chaos theme" from HoMm IV. I find there's a gap in the videogame music reaction market right there lol I love these games and the music by Paul Anthony Romero is my favorite videogame music

Gotta listen to Fontaine battle theme 3

Excited very very

Yo i just wanna say that I really hope you can listen to some of celeste strawberry jam's OST, which is a mod for celeste that released in february The soundtrack is amazing and i hope to see a video about it some day

You're right about the region being based of Europe mainly France. Also this main theme plays in-game but just in the main city (Court of Fontaine), it is I believe one of 3 track for the main city :)

@Pascll

there's actually 9 themes for the court of fontaine, not 3. maybe more than 9, but I'm not sure. four day themes, five night themes. this is a pretty normal amount when it comes to city music in genshin.

Davi, you should do some Ultrakill tracks, like Order, War or Divine Intervention

Music gang rise up

Please listen to the music of Mother 3 and the Mother series in general. The score is unlike anything I’ve ever heard in game besides Toby Fox’s games! (Who was inspired by and is a massive fan of that Mother!)

How about for a future Genshin Impact video you listen to "Whirl of Boreal Wind" (Phase I) and "Synphony of Boreal Wind" (Phase II) ?

You can jump next to the Inazuma theme and Sumeru as well..

Check out the new battle themes, they are amazing! My favourite is battle theme 2.

Imagine this guy listening to "In the Final" of Mario and Luigi, Bowser Inside Story. Great content buddy, keep the great work!

You should listen to a mario kart song once, I recommend either the medley of moonview highway or Wii rainbow road

We need more genshin music!

I'm still hoping that one day we'll get reaction to Genshin's "La Vaguelette"

More major themes for each nation pls

I guess different emotion throughout the music represent how we're going to experience the whole archon story. We're in that childish phase right now, it's been hinted through Easter egg that it'll be followed by sadness. It's getting interesting.

Lol, thumbnail funny

16:46 thats the death OST of the region’s god

2:40 You already said it but you kinda didnt say it lol, maybe more biased cuz I already played and knew the story but aside from the nostalgia feely, its also definitely more lonely feely. But now that you've listened to fontaine main theme, probably a good idea to go backward and listen to Sumeru's main theme. also you should definitely do underrated and popular tracks for your genshin playlist. your across dimming asterism reaction was a joy to watch. More underrated tracks would be: Boss theme Never Ending Performance God Devouring Mania regular theme Beats of Water Drops fresh breeze of dawn / whirling of leaves and petals romaritime collection Dance with Fireflies Luminous Path basically everything from watatsumi blue dream Cyno theme - order of silence

Can you please look ar the music from OMORI? Like worlds end valentine and duet?

Masquerade of the Guilty - the music is fitting.

wow great analysis and actually really close because of fountaine's......unique..... god...I guess.

5:58 u guessed dam right

You've got to check out "inazuma" and "sumeru" main theme, theyre all great

so excited throughout this analysis, thanks

Davi u were right about the leitmotifs they do appear alot in the story in other themes and u were right about the story being dark in this region and apparently it will get darker in upcoming story for the region as well

Ost i recommend checking out is pathfinder wrath of the righteous mythic path themes

hey, if you dont mind may you listen to the song accumula town

Woah, any plan to check out the remaining region’s main theme too?

please do some touhou 19 !!! maybe zanmu's theme or hisami's theme

i find it amusing you found this theme to be "nostalgic" because the Fontaine region is closely related to Mondstadt - the first region in the game. They're both based on european countries and culture, Mondstadt being more germanic and Fontaine having 18th century France/England influences

15:36 I feel like he's talking about Furina here.

As good as this track is, I will always have a special place for "Sinner's Finale" which reprises parts of this. The cutscene it plays during is easily my most favorite cutscene and to be honest I don't know if it can be topped let alone will be. And it helps that the track itself is solid on its own.

"this is a lot darker".... and Freminet beating an enemy

Haven’t found the Ormos port theme of Fontaine

Please do Azhdaha battle theme next!

Try out "Tenebre Rosso Sangue" (Calm, Combat or Mix)

The music plays in the main city of Fontaine

Can you listen to old King Allant theme from demons souls remake pls

Is fontaine music good as previous NO,but is it good YES its still good

You should totaly react to more deltarune music, and maybe even play it. it's a secual to undertale set in an alternitive universe and its awsome! there's unfortunetly only 2 chapters out of 7 out so far. If you're gonna react to more music i recomend either big shot or the world revolving

There's so much wonderful music from Genshin, but my favorite is a trio of pieces from the Chasm called Decayed in the Darkness, A Shard from Past Glories, and Seething Animosity. These are all essentially the same song, but with 3 different levels of intensity from quiet and brooding to full throttle that seamlessly blend from one into another depending on what's happening in the game. For example, if the player gets into combat, then the music will blend into Seething Animosity, and then blend back out once combat is over. This is a super cool technique from a game composition standpoint, and I can't think of another game that does this off the top of my head.

interesting analysis. but 0:41 id prefer you watch the concert version instead fan made video coz they show alot of instrument

Genshin currently have 5 regions and each of them are different and based on real life countries and places. Monsdtadt - Germany (please someone correct me if im wrong) Liyue - China Inazuma - Japan Sumeru - south asia and middle east countries Fontaine - france
