Rei II from Neon Genesis Evangelion
Rei II
A melancholy ballad featuring the deep sounds of the cello. The higher violins join later, but it’s that sweet, low sound that punctuates the piece. Eighth note cascading scales melt into long tones, and the strings are soon accompanied by brushes, a gentle piano, and acoustic guitar. The string section evokes a beautiful vibrato that fits the mood of the piece.
