A Life Sent On (Xenoblade 3) おくられる命 Free Sheet Music for Shinobue 篠笛の無料楽譜
Konnnichiwa! So many people have asked me for this song, I can feel the excitement in the air!!
Difficulty Level (4 being the hardest): 4 (Very Difficult)
Contains many very fast yubiuchi (ornamentations)
Contains many kan on and 1 dai kan on
Contains long phrases
I found many different versions of this song online. After much research, I decided to create this sheet music for a solo shinobue player based on this version.
The tempo of this song is very free and it almost sounds like it has no time signature, so I had to force it to fit into a nice Western sheet music. Please only use this as a GUIDE.
It is very unnatural to put yubiuchi ornamentations into Western music notations. Take this sheet music as a guide and let your fingers do the most natural yubiuchi for you.
This is not a good song for beginners, but you can work on your technique first with other songs on this page and work up to this song.
My shinobue YouTube channel has many tutorials for you to get really good at this beautiful instrument and play this song!
Sheet music contains western style notation for 8 hon choshi, but if you use the Japanese fingering numbers, you can use any hon choshi.
Here is how you can play this piece with shinobue.
I also created a karaoke for a solo shinobue player.
The first 10 seconds is silent so you have time to pick up your shinobue and get into the playing posture.
The next 10 seconds is an intro (Noah’s part) - do not play this part.
Start playing at 20 seconds into the song using the sheet music above.
Use 8 hon choshi for karaoke.
Here is a video of me performing this piece as a sample using my karaoke.
It took months of work creating all the things above for this piece and I’m giving them all away for free! I am doing this because so many people have mentioned this piece. I would love to hear from you! Please feel free to comment below!
