Title: Apocalypsis Somnus
Game: Final Fantasy XV
Composer: Yoko Shimomura
Arranger: Matthew Evanusa
The latest installment of the beloved Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XV takes us on a journey across the land of Eos as the protagonist, Noctis, a fallen prince from Lucis, aims to restore his kingdom and find his beloved Lunafreya. This arrangement features two themes intertwined, both composed by the critically acclaimed Yoko Shimamura: that of “Somnus,” the main theme of the game, a somber tone of longing and hope, juxtaposed with “Apocalypsis Noctis,” an epic battle between gods and humans.
This piece was performed at our delayed Fall 2021 Concert in Dekelboum Hall. Follow us on our social media platforms or visit our website to stay up-to-date on our latest events and performances!
