Jillian AversaMy arrangement of Zelda: Ocarina of Time “Title Theme” for voice and ocarina, featuring Erutan (Kate Covington, a.k.a. katethegreat19)! ~~Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy this video!~~
~~VIDEO INFO~~ Song: “Title Theme" Game: Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo) Performed by Jillian Aversa (vocals) and Erutan (ocarina, harp, glockenspiel) Arranged by Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa (zircon), and Erutan Original Composer: Koji Kondo
Thanks for checking out my tribute to the beautiful main theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time! It’s one of the first pieces of video game music that struck me in my youth; the chords, the harp, the haunting ocarina… I’ve always had it in mind to arrange the tune, but when I thought of all Erutan could offer the project, I knew we had to approach it together with my husband, Andrew “zircon” Aversa. Kate’s contributions on ocarina, harp, and glockenspiel truly brought the song to the next level!
After taking a more literal approach with the characters in my second Zelda music video (now of three!), I wanted to return to a freer interpretation for this one. When I think of the Zelda games, I don't just picture Link and Zelda, but the whole world of Hyrule -- with all its magic and charm. What does this world look like from the perspective of the critters that inhabit it? That is the question that inspired our video concept. Kate and I each play three different animal characters, all coming together to witness the metamorphosis of a moth.
We had an enormous amount of fun collaborating on this project. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

In the twilight, Like a thread spun in the sky, There's a stillness As the day melts into night.
Branches glisten. Hush now; listen. Voices rising, Life here is thriving.
We're the doorway. We're the entrance to your dreams. We're the joining. We're the fabric of your being.
Branches glisten. Hush now; listen. A symphony of voices rising, Life here is thriving.
Hold fast and you will find yourself. Hold fast and you will find How wild and alive your soul is -- How wild and alive we'll be.Honor of Kings The Gift of Time - Matthew Carl Earl feat.

I'd give my life Not for honor, but for you. [Snake Eater] In my time, there'll be no one else. Crime, it's the way I fly to you. [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.
Someday you go through the rain And someday, you feed on a tree frog This ordeal, the trial to survive For the day we see new light!
I'd give my life Not for honor, but for you. [Snake Eater] In my time, there'll be no one else. Crime, it's the way I fly to you. [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.

Enjoy!
~~ABOUT THIS RELEASE~~ Thanks for checking out my tribute to the incredible main theme from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, “Sword of Destiny”! I first heard the piece in a trailer for the game and was completely awestruck. The powerful, guttural style of slavic singing has always captivated me, so I wanted to give it a try myself. Are you team Triss or team Yennefer? Well, never mind choosing because we’ve got both ladies here!
I had so much fun working with Erutan (katethegreat19) on my arrangement of the title theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and knew she would have much to offer this song as well. Filming was done in South Carolina on the day of the total solar eclipse! How’s that for magic? We wanted to conjure up an atmosphere of sorcery using two scenes: one of Triss with her spellbook, singing up a storm, and the other of Yennefer inside a pentagram playing a supernatural violin. The lyrics are excerpted from a Polish poem by Jan Bolesław Ozog.
We had an enormous amount of fun collaborating on this project. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

~~ABOUT THIS RELEASE~~ I'm so excited to share with you our music video arrangement of the main theme from a very special episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Inner Light." If you haven't seen it yet, check out season 5 episode 25. I promise you will appreciate this song even more if you've watched one of the most moving episodes of this brilliant show, starring Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard. It holds a very special place in my heart. (You don't even have to be familiar with the show to appreciate this episode; it's great as a standalone as well.)
The theme, originally composed by Jay Chattaway, features a gorgeous penny whistle solo, which zircon and I have transformed into the main vocal line of our arrangement, accented by many layers of background singing. I am especially proud of the lyrics I wrote for this one; you can find them below. 🙂 We filmed the video with our favorite director, Landon Donoho, socially distanced at a lovely state park here in Maryland. He even brought along his drone for some amazing aerial footage! Let me know what you think of this project here on the YouTube page. ❤️❤️❤️

A lifetime of dreams for you to tend, How we lived, and how we died, Awakening to this life again In the swell of the rising sun.
Like a whisper, we fade into the night. Seasons come, and seasons go. But lingering still within our hearts Is the warmth of an inner light. The warmth of an inner light.

From the darkness, there came a glow. Visions passing; but now I know. Memories blossom then fade away. I will return here one day.

This video is co-directed and filmed by the amazing Ian Jared Bell, and edited by yours truly! We filmed in two separate locations: for inside the arcology, we rented a city high rise condo in Baltimore - and for outside, we trekked all the way to the Maryland “Hell House,” which is actually the ruins of St. Mary’s College. It was a hot, hot day in August and we had to lug all our gear (as well as some wet cooling cloths) on a 45 minute hike through the woods - but I’d say it was worth it in order to snag such a cool location! 😄 Thank you, Ian, for playing the role of trail guide in addition to filming! Also a shout out to Thomas Francis McTear V for assisting with lighting and photography during the condo shoot, and to Maddie Harold for her amazing makeup skills!
~~LYRICS~~ The moonlit spire I’m winding through, A thousand times - there’s nothing new. Remember when we wandered here? Before then, oh.
This isolation… Take me away from here To another place where I belong. Each night, it calls my name. Hold onto that dream, again and again, again...
The silver sky towering above - Why should this be all I can love? We live for centuries, but never breathe a second. Out there lies something else that I can feel.
Take me away. Take me away!
Oh, the ecstasy. Take me away from here, To another place where I belong. Each night, it calls my name. Hold onto that dream, again and again, again...

From the darkness, there comes a glow. Visions passing; I need to know. Memories blossom, then fade away. I will return here one day.
Reflections so vibrant, Yet the air is so silent, oh… This world they're withholding, Before me, unfolding.
From the darkness, there came a glow. Visions passing; but now I know. Memories blossom then fade away. I will return here one day.

Come and sit beside me, traveler. Cast your fears and feel your cares unravel as you reach, you'll find a light so healing. Grasp it, and save it, preserve that feeling.
Follow the music of my voice And into the light, you'll find yourself whole now.
Can you feel a power calling - Trickling softly, gently falling? Rest your weary head and listen. Gaze upon the waters glistening.

~~ABOUT THIS RELEASE~~ I'm so excited to share with you our music video arrangement of the main theme from a very special episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Inner Light." If you haven't seen it yet, check out season 5 episode 25. I promise you will appreciate this song even more if you've watched one of the most moving episodes of this brilliant show, starring Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard. It holds a very special place in my heart. (You don't even have to be familiar with the show to appreciate this episode; it's great as a standalone as well.)
The theme, originally composed by Jay Chattaway, features a gorgeous penny whistle solo, which zircon and I have transformed into the main vocal line of our arrangement, accented by many layers of background singing. I am especially proud of the lyrics I wrote for this one; you can find them below. 🙂 We filmed the video with our favorite director, Landon Donoho, socially distanced at a lovely state park here in Maryland. He even brought along his drone for some amazing aerial footage! Let me know what you think of this project here on the YouTube page. ❤️❤️❤️

~~LYRICS~~ Drifting upon a gentle breeze, Wrapped inside the arms of time, A thousand voices comfort me In the swell of the rising sun.
Like a whisper, they fade into the night. Seasons come, and seasons go. But lingering still within my heart Is the warmth of an inner light.
A lifetime of dreams for you to tend, How we lived, and how we died, Awakening to this life again In the swell of the rising sun.
Like a whisper, we fade into the night. Seasons come, and seasons go. But lingering still within our hearts Is the warmth of an inner light. The warmth of an inner light.

~~ABOUT THIS RELEASE~~ I’m incredibly psyched to share my music video cover interweaving the main themes to Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West! HZD is one of my favorite games of all time, and anyone who has played it can probably understand why. In this video, we tried to capture the pulsing excitement of the game, Aloy’s passion, and some truly gorgeous environments. Can’t wait for the sequel!
The track was co-arranged and produced by Andrew “zircon” Aversa, based on the incredible writing of composer Joris de Man and vocal performance by Julie Elven. The lyrics are my own, written from Aloy’s perspective. We filmed the video with our amazing director Landon Donoho at some nearby locations in Maryland… including the woods across the street from our house, where we built our campfire. Landon brought along his drone (named Falcor) for some epic aerial shots. It was quite an adventure! :)

~~LYRICS~~ What lies ahead? What lies behind me? This path I tread, Where it leads, what will I find here? Voices guide me, So loud and clear. Take a chance, and we will find them So close…. So far…
So stoke your fire, And let the flames rise so high.
I feel a start Inside my soul. Inside my heart Lives a warrior fierce and bold. I’ll find the answers — The seeds they sowed. Take a chance, and we will find them. So close…. So far… That voice inside my heart.

The track was co-arranged with Andrew “zircon” Aversa based on Nobuo Uematsu’s original compositions, with lyrics by yours truly, filmed from home by our two wonderful husbands (Andrew and I.J. Brighton), and edited by video guru Landon Donoho. It took a small village to bring this one to life. :)

So excited to share with you my first new music video in two and a half years! To celebrate the new Trials of Mana remake, this is a reimagining of the opening themes to Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana - both soundtracks composed by the legendary Hiroki Kikuta. I have had the honor of working with him on two occasions (check out "Touhou Zerokyo Kitan" and the "Indivisible" game soundtrack!), but this arrangement with Andrew "zircon" Aversa will come as a surprise.
I've written lyrics from the perspective of the Mana Tree itself - a tree comprised of the many souls of past women from the Mana Tribe. So if you're wondering why my costume renders me woodsy and tall, there's your answer! ;)
The video was filmed by Andrew and edited by yours truly. We had to work under the constraints of our own limited experience, but lockdown times come for lockdown measures. I am still very pleased with how it turned out, and hope you will enjoy!

Listen now to the sound of the wood. Hollowed out, but here is where I stood. When the new growth comes, You'll hear another song: The song of every soul in me.
In the darkest times you'll hear me. Take my words and do not fear the ever asking, ever trying Order of a world that's cries in desperation.

I’m excited to share my first new solo project in quite some time: an arrangement of the main theme from Ori and the Will of the Wisps! I fell in love with this gorgeous piece originally composed by Gareth Coker as soon as the game came out. The lyrics I’ve written were inspired both by the game’s premise, and by the difficult times we are all facing with social distancing. We may be physically apart, but we are together in spirit — and strong.
My plan was to film a full music video out in LA, but unfortunately we had to cancel the shoot for safety reasons. I wanted to at least share my costume with you, however, so I put together this lyric video for your enjoyment.
In case you are wondering, YES, I’m BACK and have two more songs in the works already. :) (Our daughter is approaching two years old and is still a lovable handful, but my work/life balance has improved dramatically.)
~~LYRICS~~ If you are wandering If you arrive If you are hurting through the night Close your eyes, and see my face in a smile I’ll be there, through the darkness and light

~~VIDEO INFO~~ Song: “Snow" Performed by Jillian Aversa Arranged by Jillian Aversa and Andrew Aversa (zircon) Original Composer: Loreena McKennitt Lyrics: Archibald Lampman (from his original poem, "Snow")
Thanks for checking out my tribute to the beautiful winter song "Snow"! This has been my favorite holiday piece ever since I first heard it on a Christmas Moods CD as a child. The combination of harp, Irish whistle, and voice is stunning in its simplicity, and the lyrics (from a poem by Archibald Lampman) are truly mesmerizing. We expanded on Loreena's original piece with more background harmonies, but wanted to maintain the minimal essence of the piece as well.
This is my first "home grown" music video in that the entire thing was shot by my dear husband, Andrew Aversa ("zircon")! We traveled all the way to western Maryland in order to track down some actual snow for the shoot, and it was quite an adventure. Hope you enjoy! ^_^
White are the far off plains, And white the fading forest grow. The wind dies out along the height, And denser still, the snow -- A gathering weight on roof and tree -- Falls down scarce audibly.
The meadows and far, sheeted streams Lie still without a sound. Like some soft minister of dreams, The snowfall hoods me around. In wood and water, earth and air, A silence is everywhere.
Save when at lonely spells, Some farmer's sleigh, urged on, With rustling runners and sharp bells, Swings by me and is gone -- Or from the empty space, I hear A sound remote and clear.
The evening deepens and gray Folds closer earth and sky. The world seems shrouded, So far away. Its noises sleep, and I, I secret as yon buried streams, Plod dumbly on and dream. I dream. I dream. I dream.World of Warcraft - Lament of the Highborne - Video Games Live (VGL) - Vocals by Jillian AversaJillian Aversa2017-10-31 | Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this performance! :D

~~ABOUT THIS RELEASE~~ Thanks for checking out my tribute to the incredible main theme from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, “Sword of Destiny”! I first heard the piece in a trailer for the game and was completely awestruck. The powerful, guttural style of slavic singing has always captivated me, so I wanted to give it a try myself. Are you team Triss or team Yennefer? Well, never mind choosing because we’ve got both ladies here!
I had so much fun working with Erutan (katethegreat19) on my arrangement of the title theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and knew she would have much to offer this song as well. Filming was done in South Carolina on the day of the total solar eclipse! How’s that for magic? We wanted to conjure up an atmosphere of sorcery using two scenes: one of Triss with her spellbook, singing up a storm, and the other of Yennefer inside a pentagram playing a supernatural violin. The lyrics are excerpted from a Polish poem by Jan Bolesław Ozog.
We had an enormous amount of fun collaborating on this project. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

Working again with director Landon Donoho, we got some beautiful evening shots in front of the giant "drowning man" statue at National Harbor, perfectly evoking the "dark and light" duality of NieR.

~~VIDEO INFO~~ Song: “Main Theme“ TV Series: Game of Thrones (HBO) Performed by Jillian Aversa (vocals, recorder, hand percussion) and Jeff Ball (violin) Arranged by Andrew Aversa (zircon) & Jillian Aversa Lyrics by Jillian Aversa Original Composer: Ramin Djawadi
Thanks for checking out my vocal tribute to the HBO television series, Game of Thrones! I love the strength and resilience of the female characters, particularly Daenerys Targaryen, and wanted to capture some of her mystical spirit in this arrangement of the main theme, originally composed by Ramin Djawadi. It seemed only fitting to write lyrics from her perspective - in Dothraki, no less! (Text and translation below.)
Andrew “zircon” Aversa and I wanted to keep the arrangement mostly acoustic with driving, tribal drums and up to six vocal harmonies at once. I had fun breaking out the recorder and hand percussion for this one, and Jeff Ball contributed some amazing violin tracks for extra oomph.
The video, directed by our insanely talented friend Landon Donoho, was filmed at Torrey Pines State Reserve in San Diego. It was a blistering day, but the magnificent views were well worth the trouble! Between ocean sunsets and epic cliffside shots, we tried to evoke the look and feel of Essos. ^_^

This emotional arrangement from the legendary RPG Final Fantasy 6 features my Italian rendition of the classic opera aria scene, where the character Celes (dressed as the opera singer Maria) pines for her lost love. Exclusive to this YouTube version of the song are the talents of special guest Tina Guo on cello! You may have heard the English version of this arrangement, "Till We Meet Again," on the OC ReMix album "Balance & Ruin" - but without the live string section or Tina.

Amor mio, caro bene Perché vai lontan da me? Giurasti un amor, che mai non dovea Aver fine per noi
Nei momenti di tristezza Nei momenti di dolor A te, mia stella, penso Con infinito ardore

My love, dear one, Why do you go so far from me? You swore a love that should have never Had an end for us.
In times of sadness, In times of pain, I think of you, my star, With infinite ardor.Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Skyward Sword - Zeldas Lullaby - Vocal Cover by Jillian AversaJillian Aversa2015-03-19 | My orchestral & vocal arrangement from Zelda: Ocarina of Time ("Zelda's Lullaby") and Skyward Sword ("Ballad of the Goddess")! ~~Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy this video!~~
~~VIDEO INFO~~ Song: "Zelda's Lullaby" and "Main Theme/Ballad of the Goddess" Games: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Album: Video Games Live: Level 4 Performed by Jillian Aversa and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Arranged by Andrew & Jillian Aversa Orchestration by Wilbert Roget, II, Jeff Ball Original Composer: Koji Kondo
This orchestral arrangement features two themes from two of my favorite games ever, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Zelda: Skyward Sword! Since the Skyward Sword "Ballad of the Goddess" theme is actually "Zelda's Lullaby" in reverse, we thought it would sound awesome to combine them. The fantasy lyrics are written in "Hylian" - though the language doesn't actually exist, I did my best to make them sound authentic based on all the existing Zelda lore out there.

My vocal cover of the classic "Snake Eater" theme from Metal Gear Solid 3, originally written by Harry Gregson-Williams & Norihiko Hibino! This video is inspired by the classic James Bond movie intros (especially Goldfinger), which I think suit the retro style of the song perfectly. This is also a piece I perform with the touring concert series "Video Games Live" all over the world! (Check out http://videogameslive.com for tour dates.)

~~LYRICS~~
What a thrill... With darkness and silence through the night. What a thrill... I'm searching, and I'll melt into you. What a fear in my heart, But you're so supreme.
I'd give my life Not for honor, but for you. [Snake Eater] In my time, there'll be no one else. Crime, it's the way I fly to you. [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.
Someday you go through the rain And someday, you feed on a tree frog This ordeal, the trial to survive For the day we see new light!
I'd give my life Not for honor, but for you. [Snake Eater] In my time, there'll be no one else. Crime, it's the way I fly to you. [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.

~~LYRICS~~ Among the sighs of stirring leaves, The cloak of evening stillness shed, A phantom light that turns and weaves Descends upon the path ahead.
And all my faith resides In that distant flame. My joy, my grief, my life Is a spirit's game.
With one whisper, you draw me Into the dark of night. And I know That I've lost my passage home. But one breath, and I'm falling Into your light, And I find myself alone.
Now with each dream of breaking free, I feel it vanish like a wave. But every tide will reach the sea, And every sorrow find its grave.
So I can't help but come When you call my name. My hope, my fears, are one In your spirit game.
With one whisper, you draw me Into the dark of night. And I know That I've lost my passage home. But one breath, and I'm falling Into your light, And I find myself alone.
This soul of changing fire - O, seer of whole desire, I long to know what you know. Into the deepest hollow Or over the mounts to follow, I'll go wherever you go.
With one whisper, you draw me Into the dark of night. And I know That I've lost my passage home. But one breath, and I'm falling Into your light, And I find myself aloneThrough Sand and Snow - What Child Is This? by Jillian Aversa (Official)Jillian Aversa2015-01-30 | ~~GET THE ALBUM~~

~~LYRICS~~
What Child is this who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?
Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the king, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him; The king of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The babe, the Son of Mary.
Raise, raise a song on high. The virgin sings her lullaby; Joy, joy for Christ is born, The babe, the son of Mary.Origins - Breathe and Dive by Jillian Aversa (Official)Jillian Aversa2015-01-30 | ~~GET THE ALBUM~~

Waiting, knowing - You're right on time. Drifting, flowing, To worlds sublime.
You run so far away. In the mist of night, You breathe and dive.

Sinking, floating - You weigh the tide. Flickering, glowing , This heart inside.
You run so far away. In the mist of night, You breathe and dive.

~~LYRICS~~
God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Saviour Was born upon this day, To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly Father A blessed angel came, And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same, How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway, This blessed Babe to find:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereat this Infant lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy....Atlantis Awakening - In the Wake by Jillian Aversa (Official)Jillian Aversa2015-01-30 | ~~GET THE ALBUM~~

~~LYRICS~~ Deep in the brume of juniper and fern, A moon overhead and stones at my feet, I walked through a veil of cypress and birch And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a child appeared in the brush And smiled with a hush, all dusty and tanned. And before I could speak, she ran to my side And knelt with a flow'r she placed in my hand.
[Chorus] Dancing, singing Voices ringing Rising, falling Giving, being
Deep in the brume of juniper and fern, A moon overhead and stones at my feet, I walked through a veil of cypress and birch And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a mother came with her child And smiled with a hush, all rosy and tanned. And before I could speak, she walked to my side And knelt with a key she placed in my hand.
Without a sound, they mouthed the words of mystery, And I knew no translation for the history they gave to me.
Deep in the brume of juniper and fern, A moon overhead and stones at my feet, I walked through a veil of cypress and birch And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a crone appeared in the brush And smiled with a hush, all twisted and tanned. And before I could speak, she fell at my side And lifted a tome she placed in my hand.

~~LYRICS~~
If in your dreams you're wide awake, You might be. If suddenly there's more at stake than sand and sea. You wait for the day You wait for the day.
Call the rising sun, Call the winds of change. For our paths are one, Aren't they? (Aren't they?)
And when the rain falls from above, To hide me, It's in this feeling, in this love, That we will be One moment away, One moment away.
Call the rising sun, Call the winds of change. For our paths are one, Aren't they? (Aren't they?)
And if those threads, you made Do fall apart You know you'll always have my heart. And when the mountain peak seems Too high to climb, I will, I will pull you every time.
