Slowpoke Well, Dark Cave, and Ice Path's Theme from Pokemon Gold Silver and Crystel

Slowpoke Well Theme [Pokemon S/G/C]

DJ Satomi - Castles in the Sky

This is just a different rendition of the theme for the Dark Cave, Slowpoke Well, and Ice Path from Pokemon Silver/Gold/Crystal that I made today in LSDJ. I'm still learning, and I was really fiddling around with the tables a lot on this one, but I really like how it came out!

Finally we arrive at the Tal Tal Mountain Range Grand Orchestration. Since I first started, I was tempted to arrange it early on, as it is also my favorite track. Through great patience and humility, I held off on it, and even placed it far off in the tracklist, until my skills improved enough to tackle this beast. It is more appropriate here anyways, as this is when you can finally reach the majority of the mountain. Nevertheless, I've been arranging it in my head for the last 9 months, and obsessing over it until now.

With regards to instrumentation, I felt the interpretation from the "Symphony of the Goddesses" concert was suitably epic, though a bit brief since it was a medley, so I kept mine similar for the fast parts. Tambourines really do add a nice flavor to the energetic rhythm and keep it from sounding too heavy. For the repeating ostinato, I used a combination of ukulele and nylon string guitar, which is similar sounding to the Gerudo Valley theme.

Although every characteristic of the original song is preserved in my arrangement, I still made some significant alterations. The first drastic change you'll notice is that the opening phrase of the main melody has been stretched out 4 times. I felt that the original version rushed to the climax too early. By giving it more room to develop, I feel the melodic progression sounds a lot smoother this way. This also gave me more places to try out all sorts of instrument combinations and articulations. Check out those strings playing trills in discord to the melody. Sounds slightly off, yet somehow works!

One possible controversial addition I made is introducing a third arc to the music after the first two repetitions of the main melody. Since the song is constantly fast and rhythmic, having it on repeat might sound a bit exhausting to a listener. A mountain range consists of peaks and valleys, plateaus and caves. I wanted to add some gloom and introspection, as I'm sure Link must be feeling as he nears the end of his journey. This also allows your mind ears to rest in between the awesome main melody.

This is an orchestral cover of Inside the Kakariko Village from Zelda Ocarina of Time. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style.

First I would like to say the original track is already perfect. Hiroki Kikuta composed such a beautiful theme filled with wonder and awe, making the most of the SNES sound chip. The orchestration is is my desire to hear the tune with upgraded instruments. The intent was for the track (and the video) to sound like how you've always remembered it, not how it actually was.

My interpretation of the song is that it is the great Calling that the mana tree gives to the boy. The melody is the desperate plea for the boy to save the earth from ruin. The melody is the message spoken first as a soft whisper. Hiroki uses the piano way better than Yoko Shimomura does in her subsequent Mana series soundtracks. For the record, I admire and enjoy a lot of Shimomura's music, but seriously she uses the piano in everything, so much so that all her music sounds like they could be from the same game. As a pianist, I've realized that the piano is a cheap and easy way to get a good enough sound, either playing in the upper registers to sound mystical and delicate, or with loud chords to quickly get an epic and emotional response. Using it uniquely takes skill, and Hiroki is a master at work here. I kept my arrangement straightforward and faithful as best as I could..

The second half of the music is that great rising swell, seemingly as if all life in the forest gathered around the mana tree to add their voices into the Calling. These four bars, which I doubled in my orchestration, took me the most time to figure out. I probably spent about 70-80% of my time working on this portion. I wanted to have many different groups of instruments playing harmonies and melodies independent of each other, illustrating all manner of life that the forest is filled with. In addition to what was used in the original track, I added fast strings, vocals, and even brass instruments to really flesh out the swell and build up to a thunderous and majestic climax.

Even with all the remake craze for FFVII, hopefully Square Enix would also consider remaking this game. It is a testament how special this title is, when even after having so much content cut out due to time constraints, this is still remembered so fondly.

This track is scored to the prologue story. It can be better appreciated on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssm3u8wx5eQ

Today is my birthday (originally uploaded on Feb 21), as well as Zelda's 30th anniversary, so naturally we share the same destiny. Link's Awakening was my stepping stone towards orchestrating the true main theme in grand fashion. There was no way I could have done this a year ago, and I needed all the practice from arranging other games. Having a whole year to think about how to arrange this was extremely helpful. In addition to this track, I will arrange the rest of the soundtrack, as well as Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

What I like about the very first Zelda is how its tone is straight up good vs evil, without any gimmicks. While the story is super barebones, it has a Lord of the Rings vibe to it (obviously), so I thought I would follow in the same fashion. And just like how LOTR starts with a prologue explaining the events leading up to the main story, I decided to do the same. I assume if Nintendo ever remade this game, they would probably do the same thing, matching up to the same format as their more recent installments. Here is my "retelling" of the iconic story. In fact, I wrote the script out first, and then scored the music to fit the text. Please excuse the crudity of the sketches. I only just finished the music yesterday, which gave me only a day to make the video so that I could post it online in time.

Anyways, my biggest gripe with Zelda games is that the characters are too one note. Sure they are archetypes, but there's almost no characterization to Link, Zelda, and Ganon. The good guys are good simple because, and the bad guys are bad simply because. Hard to relate to them. I wanted to add real tension to the good guys' actions. That's why here you see the king displaying weak faith, Zelda making a much harder commitment to good than you previously imagined, and Ganon have a more simpler motivation (like gollum's corruption from Lord of the Rings again). I feel this adds a bit more weight to the story, without really changing the core. I also ommitted any mention of Link so that it really feels more like Zelda's legend. My favorite part of adding the prologue is that it makes the listener wait and guess when the iconic main theme is gonna appear!

Ok now to music choices. The thematic structure of the prologue is a musical palindrome. It goes like this: Triforce Theme---Ganon's Theme---Ganon's Dungeon---Zelda's Lulliby---Ganon's Dungeon---Ganon's Theme---Triforce Theme. I pulled iconic melodies from other Zelda games because I also assume Nintendo probably wouldn't mind retconning a bunch of stuff so the old game better fits the series. There are also a ton of other musical references from the Zelda games that I crammed as much as I could. See if you can identify all of them.

While arranging this piece, I made the mistake of listening to Nintendo's 25th anniversary recording of the Main Theme, and it just blows this track out of the water. I think it's the gold standard of the main theme. So I decided to find inspiration outside the game. I borrowed the instrumentation from Navigator's Glory - Final Fantasy XIV. I like that anvil instrument that plays on the beat. Feels like it could describe Link gearing up in preparation for adventure. The use of all the instruments in the orchestra is great there. You really have to tweak every single note to make it sound right. There is still so much I can do to improve this track, so I am calling this a first draft. It will be improved by the time I finish the album.
