A creator tends to be their own harshest critic. I'm no acception. I had fun putting this together, using new sound libraries, being in a studio environment, and I'd never ever put out anything that I know wasn't my best, or something you guys wouldn't enjoy in some way. That being said, this arrangement is personally not my favorite of my recent uploads. Not alot was done to stray from the original, aspects of the solo instruments simply can't replicate the real thing, and overall it's still missing something. A creative direction that usually guides how i compose. Violet evergarden's music is phenomenal. It's also orchestral, and real. As hard as I may try, I'd be a fool to think I could ever beat that. To try to make something grand out of something that's already pretty great. If you destroyed a statue and try to build a new one out of the rubble, sure it'll be nice if you try hard enough, but it'll probably be smaller. It's why I try to avoid doing orchestral arrangements of... well orchestras. Someone in the comment section gave this a B- . Well I give my efforts this time a C maybe a D. Regardless, this doesn't mean I won't try to cover orchestra stuff. Your Lie in April is extremely flexible, and I have tons of ideas for that. Moments when I falter, or when I think I could have done better are the times I'm pushed to improve and keep going, to try new things and engage with different styles. To collaborate with others and build connections with the audience that I've built. I can do better. I will do better. And if I don't? Feel free to kick some sense into me.

Reading your pinned comment: you are 100% correct. You have listened to this pretty much over 1000 times to make sure everything about it is perfect, the reverb, each note, each stroke of the strings, spacing, arrangement etc. Most people only listen to songs a dozen times or a bit more than that. But in those dozen times, they are able to experience the culmination of days and weeks of work within minutes. If there was a downside to being a composer, it's not being able to listen to your song for the very first time. The unpredictability, the tension and calm. That's why with every new song, you improve. Art is like that sometimes. Some say it's 'sharing' your emotions and feelings to others, but it's more like 'giving'. You make others experience what you cannot. tldr this song was pretty dope

Roses are red Violets are blue This song is too good to be true Rush we all love you Pls keep up the great work whatever you do Hope you keep up the great work

0:00, Michishirube 1:32, Across the violet sky

I am a man who is super eaaily affected by my surroundings. I have a bit of a depression probelm and was having a quite hard time going through finals period. However hearing your music and orchestrations gave me... how to put it, a kind of an emotional boost. I literally cried the whole time through this piece. Not that it was super sad or anything, it felt as if someone was patting me on the back, giving me a hug, and saying that everything's gonna be fine, that I'm doing great, and no matter what I do, they'll give me support. And if you are reading, this comment, although I might be across the whole damn globe from you, have a good day, a week, and the rest of a damn happy life. Thanks Garcia, for giving me the smile that I desperately needed.

Reading your pinned post: I get it. I look at my art and ask myself “Holy hell do I even have thumbs” all the time, and sometimes feel worse when I look at the pros. But then I look farther down the road, at the past 5 years worth of “art” I created and then I realize how far I’ve come. For me, I enjoy digital art, I love it. But I’m driven by the idea that, one day, I will create something that is impressive, it’s the idea of self-improvement that artists chase after. So don’t tell yourself: “I’ll never reach the pros”. Instead start saying: “I’ll get there one day. Let’s take a crack at this one more time.” Work for something that you're proud of. Something that you did, just for you. Absolutely love your work, and you’ll always have my support, keep at it Mr Garcia.

Never stop making music mate. Never stop. *sobs*

When I finished watching Violet Evergarden on Netflix I thought it was a good series. It didn't make me cry. There was a time near the end of the series when my eyes got wet, but no actual tears. Then after listening to the OST by itself (I bought an imported CD because it was that good) I realized how much the music affected me. Thank you Rush Garcia for making this and thank you Sideways for teaching me this is the power of music.

Haven’t even finished it but I know I’ll be sobbing by the end. (Update: Didn’t cry but wow it’s so breathtaking)

fav game: legend of zelda botw fav series: violet evergarden fav movie: your name and you have done all three!!!!!!

An absolutely beautiful rendition of an already beautiful song! Every episode made me bawl my eyes out (except the princess one that one was cute)

Just imagine a real live Orchestra playing Rush's Orchestrations. I wish that day will soon come.

The 2:25 part is really good. And then starting at 3:04 passing by 3:31 and going into 4:06. So majestic.

Oh no The tears are coming.... Frick (This is hella good keep up the good work!! I really felt crying its emotional and feeling that your orchestration is in the anime is amazing so keep it up)

This really brings me back after being emotionally overwhelmed u-u

i love how in the background rush put typewriting sounds, amazing reference to the anime

I got this while watching the last episode.

Your work amazes me as usual, Rush. Absolutely love the magic you orchestrate! The tapping added such a weird yet unique experience. Loved it!

What is the meaning of love? This video. Hit me right in the feels.

This is so good and perfect timing too since Netflix has a 'new episodes weekly' banner on the thumbnail for it on their site :)

Me seeing this uploaded: RUSH JUST TAKE MY HEART NOW

This might just be a new favourite of mine. I got chills when the choir came in.

3:33 "If only i could have held you once more" Oh gosh i'm dead :(

your work is absolutely amazing, what a masterpiece, thank you !

OMGTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND HAD BEEN HERE FOR AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME!! I loved the video very much!

I have waited this for ages And it is better Thank you for this masterpiece!!!

i’ve been waiting for this all my life. thank you so much Rush ❤️.

Im so glad you made this orchestration! Really hit it home with the impact this show had for me, made me relive a lot of that thanks for making such a great orchestra that gave me that.

Brings back the tears...

You have no idea how special all of your orchestrations are to me and all who love your music Keep doing what you love and blow us away with this beautiful God given talent to creat music Play on Rush!

I love how you added the sound of a typewriter in here! It's INGENIOUS!

I watched this show such a long time ago, this video resurfaced the memories I had of it and I straight up started tearing up remembering it. Rush, your work creates emotions and memories in me that I haven't had since listening to other great musicians. Someday you're name is going to go down in history as one of the greats.

Nothing like another Rush song to make me feel like I can take on the world. I get goose bumps every time I hear a newly released orchestration. Thank you for making a magical end to my week.

I love all of your orchestrations, but this one has hit me the hardest in the feels. Thank you so much for making this!

Oooo! The little tippy taps of the typewriter! Genius, immaculately brilliant!

Okay yeah my notifications aren't working for your channel, otherwise I wouldn't have missed THIS. There are few soundtracks that consistently bring me to tears, but this, combined with the scenes from the show the music and typewriter clicks bring to mind, that's guaranteed to make me cry.

I'm actually tearing up. I haven't even seen Violet Evergarden yet (it's on my watch-list I'll get round to it eventually I'm sure) but that composition was absolutely beautiful. It's like I'll listened to a whole symphony in 5 minutes. I may not have a bunch of technical know-how on how music is composed but I know without a shadow of a doubt that was utterly incredible.

Wow man. Really love this! Love how soft yet grand it feels and sounds.

What you've done here is amazing. The second the sound of typewriters kicked in I started sniffing. Such a good touch, it really took me.

I was tearing up because of how beautifully pieced it was. I'm very much into classics and what nots, and this really moved me. Keep up the good work!

Me: He couldnt possibly make this better Rush: BET

Absolutely stunning 👏

All the episodes gave the feels. Enough said. (Seriously thankyou for your amazing orchestrations, they really sing to the soul)

This is so beautiful! Bless you for making this!

Stunningly beautiful again Rush. You never disappoint my ears or expectations. Keep it up!

ITS BEAUTIFUL

You’re my favorite composer on KZfaq and the violet evergarden soundtrack means so much to me. I put the last lyrics to michishirube as my senior quote. The way you captured the whole essence of the show really moved me. Thank you

I wish "Rust" was in this bc it's my favorite piece from the show, but i understand that it probably wouldn't fit the flow of the orchestration

Good God, man. It's unreal how good you are!

OMG YESS MY FAVOURITE SERIES! You've done an amazing job omg!

I just started watching Anime, and this was my first show. I never cry in movies, or anything, but when she showed emotion for the first time I did wipe away a tear. This show made me feel things that no other show has made me feel. Thank you Rush!!!

Emotional yet relaxing

Aye man, I just wanted to say, nice job. Thanks for this piece, it's amazing. Keep up the amazing work.

The things you did in this orchestration with 'Across the Violet Sky' were breathtaking. Amazing work!

Putting the amazing orchestration aside, I think the fact that you recognize the quality of your own work and continue to improve is what truly makes you a great creator. We look forward to your next orchestration :)

Thanks for this orchestration, it's beautiful. Just continue like this ; you make a great work at each orchestration.

Love it. So smooth and clean and deep

i loved the addition of her typing!!

I have lot emotions when i hear your orchestration. It's very impressive, very emotionnal, i love this. Good job !

THIS IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AXAXAXA you sir made my day, i thank you XD

This is amazingly done!!! I love all your orchestrations Rush!!! Keep it up ^^

I love this!!!

Another fantastic one Oh my God rush

Im in love with the music. ♥️🎶 Thank you Rush Garcia. 😭

beautiful!!

Love this

Gods... your pieces are beautiful. I hope they remain preserved, as I can imagine these pieces being found and performed by an entire orchestra in a theater full of people.

they all goes beautiful 💓

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! I LOVE THIS ANIME AND THIS ORCHESTRATION IS SO GOOD! THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT!

Just pure beauty 😍

Theres a black out by my block and this is a song i love listening to from violet evergarden, it keeps me relaxed and calm

I love the original song of this and when i found you make an orchestration of this song,that makes me happy :) Thanks Rush Garcia :) I`ll wait for your next orchestration :)

Always great music.

*masterpiece*

Bless you for making this arrangement

trully masterpiece, I can imagine this part suits for a beautiful plot twist ending of a video game that can make a scary looking man cries.

A heart touching melody, I really enjoyed it.

"Ah, it looks like it's beginning to rain."

This is awesomely amazing!

So glad this suggestion finally got made!

This is absolutely breathtaking-not even meme’ing out with the Keanu Reeves thing. Across the Sky was more impactful than I thought it was going to be and the transition was beautiful. Keep up the great work, Rush! ❤️❤️

YOU'VE DONE LITERALLY EVERYTHING HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE

Lovely job, Rush.

I found this perfection via SoundCloud and I don't regret it at all!! That person is so talented :)))

You know, it was because of this video (and another piano composer I follow that also did a Violet Evergarden cover) that gave me that push, that desire to take that extra step to watch this show. I told myself, no matter how much i wanted to listen to both your pieces, I would watch the show first. It is now the second day of my binge, at almost 2 a.m. in the morning. I have completed the show. And with the river of tears I've cried these past 2 nights I can finally listen to your piece. I must say, I am very, very glad I took the time to wait. The impact was more than I could have hoped for. Thanks for making me cry for the 101st time Rush :')

This is magnificently beautiful...

Finally!! Its here!!

This sounds so heavenly~

Plz could u do howls omving castle’s merry-go-round of life?? 😙

It was pure,fantastic and epic listening to this makes me alive and refreshed,When I close my I feel like I am living in a dream it was a wonderful cover and I thank you very much.
