Yuki Kajiura - Gradus Prohibitus

I was just describing this artist’s style to my friend as distinctive and instantly recognizable for a number of reasons, including her tendency to incorporate Middle Eastern influences in her compositions and Latin words into her song titles. Then my friend sent this song to me, which perfectly exemplifies both points I was talking about! When I watched the ultra-popular anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, whose soundtrack this piece is from, right off the bat I identified the music as the work of the famed anime composer because it had her trademark sounds all over it.

Yuki Kajiura - Hear Our Prayer

Here's another piece by this artist, who is a fantastic composer for a lot of anime soundtracks. She consistently makes beautiful music, and her style is distinctive enough that I have recognized her music on various anime soundtracks without having seen the credits! This piece is from the anime Tsubasa Chronicles (which I haven’t seen).

Yuki Kajiura - Canta Per Me II

This is the instrumental version of a theme to the anime Noir. This composer is one of my favorites; she makes lots of great music for anime soundtracks. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but her style is distinctive enough to be recognizable because I was recently watching another anime series (El Cazador de la Bruja) and for some reason thought the music sounded like a composition by this artist... so I looked up the soundtrack info and discovered that she indeed was the composer for that series as well!
Note:  There is HD to heighten the glory!
