This is my entry for the Embertone Stranger Themes contest where I had to choose a stranger's theme to arrange! :) The one I chose was based on a jazzy chord progression called the "Waltz Of The Penguins". I arranged it to have a very Ghibli, French/Italian flair! I hope you enjoy this arrangement! :)

Theme #31: Waltz of the Penguins
