Everyone: But June there's already a score for the orchestra...
June: K cool, you see them cluster chords??

Christmas came 11 months early this year

20th-century composers: tonal music has nothing more to offer, we are moving on to atonal music
jacob: hold my beer

[Wendy-jezf]

I’m feeling emotions I don’t even got names for
I’m so glad these transcriptions exist

[drmedwuast]

This should be the official music video

[Zathas]

Did you end up making a lead sheet for this, so if we wanted to learn this we could just play off of chord symbols?


Edit: Sorry, that sounds rude lol. I appreciate how much time and effort you put into this, thanks you so much for the wonderful work June!

There’s a cool ‘mirror chord’ at the end of bar 24 in the Rhodes. Left and right hand intervals mirror each other. see also Vincent Persichetti, Adam Neely, etc.

[SirLiamus]

Definitely the most beautiful, tender track on Djesse vol. 1. My new favorite track by Jacob in this stylistic vein, beating out hideaway.

[Vuldriel]

Amazing job June. I hope you didn’t pseudo-drown any giraffes by submerging them up to the point where their head is the only thing sticking out of the water during production of this video.

[nicholaswanstall]

Thank you for all the work you do June!

9:21 Cristiano Ronaldo is your patron!? If so, what a cheap guy... 15$ pffft

[Wendy-jezf]

this entire song feels like a hug I’ve been waiting for my whole life
damn, a lack of human interaction lately really be doing that tho

[FrantzesElzaurdia]

Now i know what the chord at 5:55 is. Thanks a lot June.

[Mignuke]

Really appreciate the time you put into this June :)

[epicbdragon]

is there a reason you didn’t add chord symbols like you said you might do during the livestream?

[dylanvogel]

I'm still bewildered that Jacob can make such dense and seemingly dissonant chords sound so beautiful

[emmanuelfernandes]

Such a wonderful song, it reaches deep down in ones heart. Such a brilliant transcription! (Is "brilliant" enough?) Thank you so much, Mr. Lee! Thank you so much!

this song (especially ending outro) gave me such a warm feeling of nostalgia. I love Ridgewood so much

[ricardorien]

This is one of his best composition, i just love it. I can feel it in my soul.
