Parallel Hearts

This is Parallel Hearts, the opening for Pandora Hearts, composed by Kajiura Yuki and performed by FictionJunction. I really tried to go through my recordings library and pick something non-Kajiura, but there really wasn't much to choose from once I eliminated all of Kalafina and FictionJunction! Since this one is pretty complex, I picked it anyway.

The applet has it for five parts, but it's completely possible to combine the overlaps into Keiko or Kaori's lines and make it possible for a quartet to sing. In fact, FictionJunction, a four-part group, has performed this live perfectly fine. The only reasons why they're split into the overlap track is because of technical issues with recording the lines. The only line that can't be combined into Keiko's part is the last chorus. "Bokura wa" can be sung by Kaori's vocalist, and the rest of the melody can be put back on Wakana's line. (This is how it's sung live.)

To listen to it altogether, drag the instrumental down to about 50.

I haven't got a lot of feedback on these arrangements, but I hope they're helping you all record beautiful covers! Please share your creations with me! If you have any requests, let me know!
