ReMix:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Bolero of Bolero of Fire" 2:28

Nope, that's not a typo, as newcomer Evan Wardell has in fact made Ocarina of Time's "Bolero of Fire" even MORE Bolero, upping the Bolero ante and sending us a classical treat:

"This was written as part of the Pixel Mixers community tribute album to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Sunrise & Moonfall! I've been fascinated with the idea of expanding the short temple warp songs from OoT for a while, and "Bolero of Fire" was especially of interest to me since the original is already a fun, blatant reference to Ravel's "Bolero." I took this opportunity to really lean into that reference with the repeated snare line and the orchestration of the pizzicato strings, while still only drawing from/expanding upon the melodic and harmonic content from the game (with the oboe B theme coming from a small melodic fragment in the "Fire Temple" theme). The mix itself also took some inspiration from this Ravel influence; I tried to leave a good amount of air and dynamic range to make it feel a bit more like a natural orchestral hall recording. Thanks so much for your consideration!"

Bolero++! I'm biased, of course, but I'm reminded at points of my own "Red Waltz" from 2008 - similar snare/triangle, in particular. Evan did a superb job with the negative space and dynamic contrast, so the louder bits pop & the quieter bits are appropriately subdued & moody. As a related Jeopardy! protip: if there's ever a classical music question about "Bolero," the answer is (who is) "Ravel," and vice versa. Liontamer evaluated:

"I always appreciate short-and-sweet arrangements that pack of a lot of substance and variation in a brief run. "Bolero of Fire" is present throughout as the foundation, so this opened conservatively, but the arrangement really branched out from :59-onward with Evan's strong expansive writing ideas inspired by the "Fire Temple" theme on top of the main source. Nice orchestration and a beautiful debut from Evan, who I hope we hear more from. Ravel would have enjoyed this kind tribute. ;-)"

I second wanting to hear more, and congrats to Evan on a strong debut that takes an intuitive concept & sees it through to its logical conclusion with emotion & style - bravo!
