Here's my video game saxophone cover of Zelda's Lullaby from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! I'm Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
What a v i b e ~ I forgot I had covered this tune way back (6 years ago) until a few days ago. Im glad I finally got to update this classic! I took a chord progression I really liked and tried playing it over Zeldas Lullaby and it worked pretty well!
Recently, a friend pointed out what my style was. Its always been tough for me to classify my covers since I do a bit of everything. They labeled my work as Chamber RnB, which I think hits the nail on the head! I do arrangements for small ensembles and utilize a lot of elements from RnB music! Sometimes Id feel a bit stuck trying to create because it felt like my work didnt fit into a category. It feels good to have more confidence knowing theres a better way to define my style of music!
I loved getting to play with a flute soli since its softer and more mellow than sax solis Ive done in the past. But I had to work a sax soli like phrase in there haha! I tried to focus on including chords that I really liked, mostly chromatic mediants, and flat chords. It makes it sound so rich and mellow. I wasnt planning on doing a tenor solo at first, but Im glad I did! It was really fun and just makes the ending soar! Reminding me of some jazz ballads.
No vocals in this one, which felt nice! Its been awhile since Ive had the winds play a larger role in an arrangement.
I kept the video pretty simple this time around. Playing around with lighting and color correction a bit more in this one. Hoping to start filming stuff outdoors soon as the weather gets nicer and more flowers bloom!
Hope you enjoy this chill chamber RnB cover of #ZeldasLullaby from #OcarinaofTime done by #SabIrene!
