Hallo Forum,
This is an orchestral remix containing various songs from the SNES game Palandin's Quest (aka Lennus).
The current revision is #98, uploaded for Mod Review.
The remix is unusually long (16 minutes) owing to the fact that it has been in development for 3 years.
Since I improved skills along the way, the tendency for the remix is to become better towards the end.
Many times, themes from the game are combined with or arranged in the style of the movie Hook.
You will find the following combinations:
Bright Homeland (Paladin) + Granny Wendy (Hook) as Leitmotiv
Calamity (Paladin) + Lost Boy Chase (Hook) as slapstick interlude
Holy Sanctuary (Paladin) + Mermaids (Hook)
Momentary Peace (Paladin) + Remembering Childhood (Hook) = "Remembering Peace"
Bright Homeland (Paladin) + Farewell Neverland (Hook) = "Farewell Naskuot" towards the end
Furthermore, the 'battle alarm' from Robin Hood is used with the battle themes, which occurs a second time at the very end.

Hi forum, I am new to ocremix.
I'm going to post an orchestral take on Paladin's Quest (Lennus).
This WIP focuses on the technical execution of the orchestral sound. Do not expect fancy or original composition. It's a straight cover.
- The remix was not based on a MIDI or sheet, it's all derived from listening to the source.
- Every track was live recorded without quantization.
- Proportional/differential controller used throughout (mod-wheel).
- Instruments: combintation from EWQLSO silver + Garritan Personal Orch
I feel that the remix went very reminescent in style of "gone with the wind"-kitsch. Hence the name.
