Usage rights - please read:
I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =)

USAGE:
If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =)
On YouTube and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way!
ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required.


If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except YouTube and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed.
Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects.

Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no matter what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music.

Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion).



REQUESTED MUSIC:
I have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project).

Important:
I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose.


I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)

Dear Adrian, last night, I finished writing the last pages of my second novel, I had started writing 5 years ago. For this ultimate stage, I wrote 13 hours in a row till I crossed the finish line, and all along this final step, your inspiring music has been my faithful companion and brother in arms. Thank you so much for that. 😍

You are a warrior. Warriors don’t give up and they don’t back down. Pick up your sword 🗡 and shield 🛡 and fight. ✊🏻

Adrian Von Ziegler is The One and Only King of Celtic Music!

[Alarak_]

A sword for a man,
A sword for a warrior,
A sword for a hero,
A sword for a myth,
A sword for a legend,
The Sword for Kings !

[craytherlaygaming]

It's recognizable to all.
Even those who don't know it's story
It's used in all forms of culture.
Its design is iconic and cannot be mistaken.
It's blade is bathed in 4 cultures and 2 religions.
It was once said to be wielded by the greatest of men.


It is the Sword of Kings

It is, *Excalibur*

[MrBMC]

I know I've said this on your other videos, but I'll say it again. I absolutely love your music. I've been listening to you for well over three years. I've bought one of your albums on iTunes, and it was the best money I've spent. I've listened to the 2 hour Celtic music album more than any other album on my iPod, I'm always listening to it. Prophecy is my favourite song of yours, and one of my all time favourite songs. It's the soundtrack to my life. Not meaning to sound too nerdy.

You are easily my favourite modern composer. And one of my favourites of all time

[jackraven]

Powerful, inspiring, uplifting, I am honored and humbled to be able to listen to such beauty.

[marysparrow]

My paternal & maternal family hail from Scotland, Éire and Wales, and I feel a deep connection with the medieval history and Celtic roots I have with these beautiful lands, even more so when I listen to your beautiful music.

[christianpoet]

I wield a sword, forged before my time
With it, I protect what is mine.
It has been handed down from age to age;
Many a war for its power was waged.
Wise is the one who foraged this blade;
No greater weapon was ever made.

The armies of evil may rise and fight;
I shall answer with all my might.

This sword was carried by my fathers before me
That we may keep our kingdom free.
Hear it clashing with a steely ring
As I go into battle with The Sword of Kings.

What I really really think is so cool about your music is the fact that we all don't have to speak the same language to feel the emotions behind the song. We all have imaginations and we can all let them run wild with interpretation, but there is no blockade of things that we don't know preventing us from exploring the fantasy behind the music. I really admire your music and I hope you don't stop producing! It's beautiful and it really is a life changer and one of the biggest inspirations of my life so far!! ^^

Deine Musik ist einfach traumhaft. Es gibt kaum etwas, was mir mehr hilft, meine Panikattacken hinter mir zu lassen und einfach einmal abzuschalten und mich in ferne, fantastische Welten zu träumen. Du rettest mir immer wieder das Leben.

[paveljelinek]

You are genius. most geniusly genius. this thing is what i had in me from moment i was born. You waked it up. Thank you for showing me my soul´s secret.

[Theswordundrawn]

I really have to say, for someone that grew up on the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, this song feels like a most fitting piece to read the tales to. It has a hallowed sound that hints at the magic of Merlin, the vocals and flute hint at the bravery of the knights, and the long pauses make one think of Arthur sat upon the throne, and now resting in Avalon.
And all the while is the image of Nimuwe rising from the lake, holding aloft the sword of kings, upon which Arthur's legend is built.
The slightly solemn sound of this Celtic piece also makes me think of Arthur's end, and the promise that one day, he will return from Avalon, but now rests in those undying lands, the once and future king.
This piece is just perfect for all those things.

I love your music. I have been listening for coming up on three years now, and your music has gotten me through some really tough stuff. I can always rely on fear no darkness to cheer me up, and help me forget about my worries. I just want to say thank you! You really help me!

[yoyogenty]

It's been 6 years since I first listened to your musics. And I'm still amazed each time you release a song. Thank you :)

[philippelapeyre]

Although Adrian has written a lot of great musics, this is one of my favorites.
