François-Hubert Drouais (1727-1775) "Portrait of a Woman, Said to be Madame Charles Simon Favart (Marie Justine Benoîte Duronceray, 1727–1772)" (1757) Oil on canvas Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, United States In 1745 Mademoiselle Duronceray—the singer, dancer, and comedienne probably portrayed here—married Charles Simon Favart, the father of French comic opera. Among her best-known roles was that of the heroine in The Loves of Bastien and Bastienne, 1753, in which she inspired a revolution in theatrical costume by wearing authentic peasant dress. Drouais’s portrait of her seated at a harpsichord recalls traditional representations of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.

The Harpsichord Skill is out now!  
Get it HERE.
I also made a tutorial to change any piano you want into a harpsichord - I know some of you use other harpsichord/piano objects that you might want to be compatible with this mod.  Find out how here.

what is it about video game boss themes with harpsichord always going SO HARD
no like, we have World's End Valentine, Mantis Lords, Pandora Palace (and just all of Queen's themes in general), just like arghhhhh
the harpsichord has such a unique timbre, and something about that makes it worth so well with a certain genre of character. it just feels so perfectly fitting to all these characters, making for some striking and recognisable leitmotifs, and it also has the perfect opportunity for fast runs and insane melodies when things hype up.
this is a harpsichord appreciation post. the harpsichord is not appreciated enough, especially when it's used in modern music.
here are the songs i talked about. please feel free to drop any other epic harpsichord songs (especially video game music!!) in the notes, i would love to hear em!

Thinking about symphonic metal again. Yall ever notice how the harpsichord is literally made to be in metal. Like goddamn every song that has a harpsichord in it is just banger after banger. I think that would make medieval teenagers happy if they were still around :)

A clavisimbalum, a medieval harpsichord. The tone of the instrument is delicate yet expressive. Surprisingly it goes well with traditional Japanese musical instruments!
