Eda’s Requiem/Raine’s Rhapsody (The Owl House) | Beautiful Hybrid Orchestra

I’m finally covering Eda’s Requim/Raine’s Rhapsody by Brad Breeck from The Owl House! I Know I’m late to the party on this one, but I have been wanting to cover this song ever since the episode aired in late July. But thanks to life stuff, I couldn’t get around to it. But today is finally the day I release it!

This cover came with an interesting challenge for me. You see I wanted to focus on the duet between the violin and the bell cittern, while also having a sad, beautiful, and somber hybrid orchestral backing it (got to stay on brand). Although like brad Breeck, I didn’t have a bell cittern, so I just used a lute instead. The challenge with this is when I want a somber orchestral sound, I don’t use any brass. The reason for this is because I find brass instruments work best at being bombastic, which is not the sound I’m going for. I also can’t really use the higher part of the strings section either, as that would drown out the violin in the duet. So, I had to get an orchestral sound across with only woodwinds, cellos, and double basses.

Also, I finally got a vocoder plugin for this song! You can hear it at 1:38. I’ve failed to imitated a vox sound on several occasions. Some examples of this are my original songs Galaxies Align to You and New City Home and my cover of The Owl House End Credits. But, with this cover I finally decided to rip-off the band aid and get a proper vocoder.

I know extremely shocking if you follow my content, but I freaking love the first half of Owl House season 2. If you don’t know The Owl House has basically been my favorite show of all time from the start. Eda’s Requiem though was a personal favorite of mine. Not just because it was about music, but because it introduced probably one of my favorite characters of all time, Raine! Actually, the introduction of Raine was extremely helpful in letting me accept that I’m also non-binary. I don’t know what it was, but just seeing someone who was non-binary having a crush on a women made me go “That’s me! That’s me!”
