"Ancient Stones" from Skyrim, on the Harp

This is my transcription/arrangement of "Ancient Stones" from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!
"Ancient Stones" was composed by Jeremy Soule.
Harp transcription and arrangement made and performed by Maggie, on a Lyon & Healy 85CG.
With the release of Skyrim Remastered, I'm finally playing Skyrim for the first time....and oh my heart, the music! Realized there was no way I couldn't do this video.
I made my transcription from the version on the official soundtrack, arranging it for harp with a balance between being faithful to the original and suiting it best for the harp. I'm extremely happy with the final product and this is definitely one of my favorite videos I've made!

Merci , merci pour les frissons qui sort de votre harpe , les larmes me montent quand je vous écoute . Même si elles refusent de couler sur mes joues mon coeur lui est en larmes. Mon père partie l'année dernière le 07/07/2023 adorais ce jeu et plus particulièrement cette musique la dans ce jeu . Merci a travers votre harpe je revois ainsi les sourires et éclats de rire de mon père ! C'est pour moi un super hommage ! Paix a son âme 👼🕊️ merci encore quelle performance ! 🌟🙏

It's saying this video was made six years ago, I have no idea why this was recommended to me today. However I just wanted to say that this is a phenomenal rendition of Ancient Stones, it's one of my favourite pieces from the Skyrim OST along with Journey's End and Secunda. I was brought to tears listening to you play. Thank you for sharing this. 💕

One time my Oblivion game glitches out, on Xbox 360, and it completely looked like a Black Void with grey lighting like this. Look up Oblivion out of bounds black glitches on KZfaq and you'll know what I'm talking about. So your comment makes perfect sense! I think it was the Start Menu black glitch

@MaggieMcG84 6 жыл бұрын

I'm thrilled you enjoy my video and arrangement! I do not have sheet music for "Ancient Stones", as I play it by ear and memory and never really wrote it all out. There's another track from Skyrim that I would like to do someday, but my list of "arrangements/videos I want to do" is so long, I don't know when I'll get to it! I'll keep in mind the request though and perhaps push it higher on the list! Thank you!

I can litteraly hear the fireplace on my right, some stew boiling on top of it. Some ambient noises come from the window and feel the humidity due to the lake sitting close to the house I built. Ysolda is somewhere in the house, probably in the trophy room or in the kitchen with Maish'a and I can hear Karjo and Kader talking upstairs with the bard. thanks, I might have been gone for a long time, I dont know if I still have the saves but I will replay one way or anither
