Imagine how it feels for Toby having an entire orchestra playing the songs he made. Must feel amazing and almost unbelievable.

The dog was supposed to be the conductor but hes just sitting there smiling :)

Toby Fox loves writing music so much, he actually finished the entire score for this game (and a large chunk of the score for the (at the time possibly not even happening) sequel) before finishing any other part of it!

The mouthpiece buzz right before “sans.” was supposed to emulate the thing that happens right before it plays in the game. Let’s just say “the old ‘whoopie cushion in the hand’ trick! it’s always funny!”

53:57 all of the musicians rocking out to Death by Glamour is one of my favorite details of the concert. They really got into that song! It's so good in orchestral form.

37:40 even the people playing are jamming to this

YES! I wanted someone to react to this amazing concert. It really captures the charm of the game.

For the fans instrumental: beautiful music For the fans lyrics: they’ll put you in the dungeon. It’ll suck, and then you’ll die a lot

What makes this soundtrack absolutely amazing is the references in the melodies. This soundtrack is a great example of leitmotifs, and just to explain what that means to those who may not know, it is a recurrent theme or themes throughout a musical piece. For instance, the beginning of 'Heartache' can be heard in 'Asgore's Theme' because of the relationship between the two characters. In 'Hopes and Dreams', you can hear references from 'Once Upon a Time'. I could go on and on about the many references that are in each song. That explains why you hear the same melody in different songs, but in a different rhythmic pattern. Anyways, 'Undertale' and 'His Theme' are my absolute favorite because they aren't intense like the battle songs, but evokes a different emotion and tells a story within the pieces. Each character, location, and event all have their own songs, ranging from slow and calm to absolutely intense and fast-tempo. I'm glad you did a reaction video to this because it shows that this soundtrack...a video game soundtrack...is one of the best things I've ever heard. One last thing, don't forget the hugs for goat bro and goat mom! Thank you and take care!

15:06 Heartache | your first boss fight and its so majestic yet sad... fighting, the ex-queen of monsters, Toriel 26:24 Bonetrousle | second boss fight and it feels more like a play date with our friend Papyrus 36:29 Spear of Justice | Third boss fight, heroic and unwavering, that's the captain of the royal guards Undyne 48:10 Spider Dance | Fourth boss fight, energetic and upbeat, i love it now lets dance with Muffet 52:36 Death by Glamour | Fifth boss fight Entertaining and Glamourous Metatton 1:05:54 Bergentrückung + asgore theme | Sixth boss fight, his majesty, King Asgore's majestic introduction and solemn fight. 1:08:48 Your Best Nightmare | Seventh boss fight, ... its a wonderful idea :) 1:29:11 Hopes and Dreams | True pacifist boss fight, the hopes and dreams of all monster, /=Prince=Asriel=/ Frisk 1:53:36 Battle Against a True Hero | 1st real Genocide boss fight. Undyne The Undying. ...Determination. 1:56:46 Megalovania | last genocide boss fight. Sans 1Atk 1Hp The Easiest enemy of the game. ...Determination

My favourite Undertale fun fact. Obviously Toby loves his leitmotifs, and almost every song connects to the first few you hear. But the most iconic song, Megalovania, is Completely independent… except for a very small bit of “bring it in guys”. in the middle of the Papyrus theme he sneaks in a little bit of Megalovania (1:45:14) The song is definitely hidden to hide that a fight with sans Even exists, even having the fake “song that might play when you fight sans” in the official soundtrack to trick you into thinking thats the fight music. (although the internet quickly ruined that idea when the game blew up, and the secret route became the most famous)

never realized until now that they turned "Small Shock" into a duet between a cello and a violin, playing the "Asgore" and "Undertale" leitmotifs....just Asgore and Frisk staring each other down in sadness before the final fight. GOD. DAMN.

Can’t believe you put “Nyeh heh heh!” In the description, love that! 🤗 Papyrus is the wholesome bean. 😌

I think the sound that plays when most of the musicians leave is the “Void” sound, a track that’s not on the official soundtrack, I think because it’s technically just a sound effect. But it plays after a Genocide Run is completed. It’s supposed to be a bit eery. Fitting considering what happens when you finish the game that way... since you asked what’s going on in the story at this point, this will be a spoiler, and a pretty heavy one at that, so for anyone who chooses to read on, you’ve been warned: There’s a character that is referenced throughout the game, but only appears at the end of a Genocide Run, a long-deceased child named Chara. One way or another, whether by surrendering it to them willingly or refusing and getting killed by them as a result, they take possession of the player character’s soul (which has the crazy power to manipulate time and the world of the game itself) and use it to “erase” the game/world. At that point, this “Void” sound plays and future attempts to start up the game after this behave as if Chara “rebuilt” the game with all the player character’s SAVE data erased, which is why the two remaining musicians play the basic version of the menu theme after the Void sound is done. Not everything the player did is erased, though, because Chara haunts the player no matter what you do from then onwards, even if you attempt to do a True Pacifist run again. Chara’s present in every ending after a complete Genocide Run, implying that they intend to continue wreaking havoc no matter what you do or how cooperative you choose to be with their wish to erase everything. For appearing to be like a game for children, the story does get pretty dark. Needless to say, Chara’s a murderous psychopath. Chara flat out states that while the player character may have made the choice to start killing, they chose to make it more enticing, stating that they’re the embodiment of the feeling you get when a number increases, and the addictive quality of that feeling for the player character in this story. They’re purpose in the story serves as a way to explain the enticing nature of level ups for people who have played RPGs before, and what drives players to want to fight and kill things. Some meta-storytelling, if you will. So yeah, in addition to having a great understanding of music, Toby Fox has a tremendous understanding of gaming as a medium, in addition to how people think about games outside of whatever story they may be playing. As for a little personal commentary, even though Megalovania is amazing to listen to, I can’t do the Genocide Run myself, certainly not just to hear it play in-game. The True Pacifist run’s ending is too perfect to taint it with the presence of a demon child later on. If there’s one side of Undertale’s story that I really wouldn’t want to spoil for anyone, it’s the Pacifist side of the story. The Genocide Run is supposed to not be fun, and most people figure that out after starting it and learning what is required to complete it. The sort of ending you get is kind of a foregone conclusion at that point, and because of that I personally don’t mind spoiling it too much, though the fact that a player who completes a Genocide Run still has to face the appropriate consequences for their actions is rather poignant and good storytelling. But for me, it’s not worth ruining the story for future runs, especially when I care about all the characters in the story enough to want the best for them all and see things work out for them. Needless to say, the Pacifist Run has a great story I don’t want to spoil. It’s really good and worth experiencing first hand, if you’re able.

The violinist with the fabulous hair—

Heya Dan. Couldn't help but notice that you missed Toby's own performance at the end of the video. It isn't shown like the concert is, but Toby himself actually performed 3 of his songs on the piano, with a damaged wrist no less. It's not perfect piano playing, but it manages. I urge you to take a look at it.

I love this reaction, very nice to hear both criticism and compliment to both the score itself, as well as the Orchestra. Definitely a good video!

Muffet's theme absolutely blew my mind. Favourite part of the concert.
