Hyrule's Final Prophecy
Okay, so I wanted to try a slow, emotional, orchestral piece. I wanted it to be dramatic and kind of epic, and have a feeling as if something major just happened. Really I kind of pieced the arrangement together from a scene in my mind, where valiant Link just defeated Ganon but suddenly realizes that he's going to die *shrugs* ... I hope the piece has a feeling of a kind of grim happiness, because in the said mental image, I envisioned Link realizing that evil was defeated but the overall feeling is sad because Link himself is also going to die.
I guess I, myself, have been feeling kind of how this song sounds emotionally with all the drama going on lately in my life.
It's mostly a lot of chords... strings, choir, also has opera-ish vocals, an oboe, a trombone section, and... a little bit of percussion. I wanted to downplay the percussion and let most of the strings do the work.
It's still a work in progress. I wanted to lead into the main theme, but after a couple hours of working on this thing and getting the sound how I wanted, I decided just to post the WIP.
It starts with Ganon's theme and kind of segways into the beginning of the zelda theme. I want to add a dark version of the zelda theme in the next update, and maybe transition it to something else ... haven't decided anyway.
What do you guys think?
