“I just stole it from Beethoven”
Yes you did, and I’m NOT MAD ABOUT IT!
Absolutely amazing movie and rendition
Just give him a Academy Award already.
As an aspiring musicologist and Wicked fan, this is my dream video.
Genius.
Bawling my eyes out at defying gravity, not only because of Cynthia Erivo's WICKED performance, but your composition elevates the track so much.
You did it, Stephen! With those 3 iterations of "unlimited," you fully conveyed the freedom of flying… which is why I told my son that's my deathbed music.
The nod to Somewhere over the Rainbow is a beautiful touch. I like to think Elpheba is alluding to Dorothy without even knowing it.
i love these types of videos. i’m obsessed with the soundtrack and wicked in general!
Motifically is a fantastic word! Capturing the Ozian spirit there.
wow speechless this is so lovely
This man is a GENIUS. What a legacy.
Fantastic!
I could listen to this guy for days
One of my inspirations for almost 2 decades.
Close enough- welcome back Mozart!
Knowing his musical works, when he started talking about how he developed a style inspired by Beethoven, I just said, "yeah, that tracks." 😂
OK……I'm a musician, I definitely did NOT pick up the Over The Rainbow quote. He's the best…..and that is just the coolest thing!!!!<3<3<3
It’s a fan FEAR!! that’s the witch’s theme ! ❤❤
So you’re telling me the unlimited theme is ‘somewhat’ over the rainbow?
