Dcapo89 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, I recently completed a little arrangement of "Secret of the Forest" from the SNES class Chrono Trigger. This piece gets covered and arranged fairly often, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at it. A lot of the best covers for this piece either tend to be either a full replication of the original instrumentation or a solo piano piece, so I decided to meet somewhere in the middle and approach it as a piano and flute piece. The result is something that I hope is simple, approachable and a little elegant, while still retaining what made the original piece by Yasunori Mitsuda so special. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we loved working on it. - Daniel. Edited October 16, 2017 by Dcapo89 made a mistake. Black_Doom 1 Quote
Light_of_Aether Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Hi Daniel! Would you please post a link to your arrangement? Dcapo89 1 Quote
Dcapo89 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Woops! I can't believe I forgot to actually link the piece. I feel dumb now. Thanks for giving me a heads up! Quote
Black_Doom Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Could be a bit longer, though, but that's my only complaint here. Really love the original, and you did an awesome job! Dcapo89 1 Quote
Dcapo89 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Thank you! Yeah, I agree it could be longer. I make 1 video a week at the moment, so I kinda have to churn this out. For that reason, some of them end up being a little on the shorter side. One day I'll have to extend them. Quote
Gario Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Oh, I like that low flute in this. If one isn't careful it's a very easy instrument to drown out since it has virtually no power at that range, but it's balanced quite well against the piano in this case. Such a nice timbre. Very nice arrangement you've got going, here; I guess I'll look forward to more posted by you on here. Quote
Light_of_Aether Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 A beautiful arrangement! The piano/flute combo works quite well. Do you and Katie have any more arrangements in the pipeline? Quote
Dcapo89 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone. I upload. a new arrangement on YouTube Friday. This week's will just be solo piano, but Katie and I have some fun plans in the coming weeks. Considering arranging Breath of the Wild's music for Kakariko Village. I think it would work well. I'll keep you posted. Definitely check out the rest of the stuff. on my YouTube channel though. Light_of_Aether 1 Quote
Wiesty Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Still the greatest piece of Vgm ever written imho. Nice cover! Quote
