Hi ffshrine,
Longer post, since this is a particularly meaningful release, personally! Feel free to read, or jump to the bottom for free codes :)
I'm proud to announce a project a year in the making! The official Celeste Piano Collections are available today, continuing a growing legacy of official Video Game Sheet Music that I have the honor of contributing to.
Celeste Piano Collections

I've played piano for pretty much my entire life. In middle school, I started arranging and transcribing video game sheet music, and trying to get my hands on all the gorgeous Final Fantasy Piano Collections albums and score books. Masashi Hamauzu, Shiro Hamaguchi, Casey Ormond -- and of course, Nobuo Uematsu -- still stand as my idols for weaving emotion via melodies and arrangement.
I long waited for video game sheet music to make its way over to the US, and it never did. A few arrangements here and there, but rarely something official.I believe music from games deserves better, and I'm proud to have the opportunity to change that.
The Celeste Piano Collections album is another step to inspire the next generation, and guide them towards game music as an acceptable repertoire, and learning mechanism for instruments.
Composer Lena Raine's music is stellar and heartfelt, and Trevor Alan Gomes's arrangements capture their beauty and intensity. Michaela Nachtigall featured on violin as a guest sounds superb. The sheet music is gorgeous thanks to the meticulous engraving efforts of David Peacock
Thanks to William Caleb Parker, Will Kennedy, Jett Galindo for engineering/mixing/mastering the album, and bringing out the best parts. Thanks to David Ren� Christensen for the gorgeous art, and Daniel Jim�nez-Wall for super pretty designs and layout. Thank you Jayson Napolitano for spreading the word.
Please consider having a listen on Spotify or elsewhere, or picking up a copy on CD and vinyl, or even a sheet music book -- so that we may continue this obsession with sheet music. ♥
"With some of my previous work, I�ve taken incredibly simple source material and added layers of complexity and harmonic sophistication to make it work ideally for solo piano. In the case of Celeste, however, I often found I had to reduce what was already super complex and rich down to its core elements to make the material manageable on a single instrument.
Lena has a way of brilliantly hyper-saturating the music with rhythmic ideas, counterpoint, and in some cases even multiple lead lines, with an end result that is immensely satisfying. Each track is a sort of �complete meal� for the ears. So taking those full-to-the-brim tracks and transforming them into equally complete piano solos was actually the greatest challenge of any of the VGM piano arranging I�ve done so far. I sincerely look forward to fans having this new way to enjoy and explore this absolute gem of a soundtrack!"
-Trevor Alan Gomes
"I grew up playing japanese role-playing games, basking not only in the games themselves, but the music too. I chased after any way to listen to the soundtracks outside the game.
Luckily, there was a local import shop that stocked not just the original soundtracks, but Piano Collections albums and sheet music of many of my favorites. Without fail, game after game received these amazing piano arrangements and I became familiar with the melodies and how to play them.
When I heard Trevor Gomes� beautiful Chrono Trigger Piano Collections album, I knew right away that I wanted to work with him on something. I had no idea that opportunity would arise so quickly, and so I find myself honored to collaborate with him on these arrangements of my score to Celeste.
He understands my music to its core, and I can�t wait for you all to hear what we�ve come up with. Enjoy!"
-Lena Raine
