2011, reorch. 2015

This is a concert version of the theme for a "someday" RPG project, "The Legend of Forester/有森伝説 (Arimori Densetsu)." This version, conceived in 2015, is a new orchestral mockup, featuring expanded orchestration, choir, and dulcimer.

As I wrote in 2011:

"In the interest of facilitating the adaptability of this project for both Western and Eastern audiences, the theme of our hero, the young Forester/Arimori, is written in a pentatonic row, presented here with a lush, Western orchestration. In composing this theme, I noted the versatility of the melody; in addition to the pastoral and heroic flavours contained in this presentation, Forester's Theme is suitable for adaptation as an Irish jig or piping tune, a waltz, or even a piece in the Chinese jiangnan sizhu style. I hope to one day explore these variations."

Also, as I noted in 2011, this was written in stylistic homage to some of my favourite contemporary composers and orchestrators.

Forester's Theme is scored for full orchestra, with dulcimer and choir.
