0:00 - Schala's Theme (Live performance)
Ah... This one has a certain simple yet appealing charm to it. This track is the one which inspired me to make this mix. While I've featured it before, this is the truest energy I get from the song.
4:03 - Corridors of Time (moonbowmusicmovie)
When I listen to these songs, sometimes they are tied to specific moments in my mind. For this one. I recall listening to this while I was out on a walk. I sat on the trunk of a fallen tree, overlooking a vast pond. I was alone and at peace, and the emotion of that natural scenery translated perfectly to the emotion of the music.
8:53 - Wind Scene (insaneintherain)
Wind Scene, surprisingly, is not really one of my favorites of the Chrono Trigger OST. However... A good Wind Scene remix is like no other. This has been one of my favorites of Wind Scene, of VGM jazz covers, of insaneintherain since the moment I first heard it, and I hope that appreciation is shared!
14:04 - Manoria Cathedral (Daniel Capo)
Manoria Cathedral is certainly a nice, yet short tune in the game. Yet it translates so well to these longer-form covers and variations that this might as well be an official piano cover of the thing!
17:49 - The Lavoscore (haconiwa)
A very underrated cover of a very underrated final battle music. I always see people calling Last Battle "a disappointment" and I cannot quite understand it. The original is one of the most inspiring songs to my own compositional style that I have ever encountered, and this cover is a breathtaking work of art.
22:40 - Singing Mountain (The Consouls)
The most iconic "unused" song I've ever heard. A sincere and beautiful yet rather playful cover of this theme. I remember a few years ago; listening to this as it snowed for the first time. It was quite unforgettable, I think.
27:28 - At the End of All Things (Abadoss)
An OCReMix! And a very different, yet peaceful one at that. It's a song I've wanted to feature in something for some time now - and I'm happy to have the opportunity here!
33:29 - Schala's Theme (Ryan Lafford)
Schala's Theme... One of the most iconic things ever presented in the game. In my opinion, this is the perfect cover of this thing. No other cover gets the emotion of the original down so expertly and yet is able to expand upon it so much.
38:21 - Scattering Blossoms (Gentle Love)
This song. One of the Chrono Trigger covers that is personally most moving to me. I heard it and first began to appreciate it during a rather depressive episode in my life and ever since I've always cherished the emotional yet minimalist take on these song.
46:22 - Corridors of Time (Zohar)
Another one which is very personally stirring for me. I couldn't help but ever since I heard this, I have imagined this as making excellent wedding music. I am sure that one day, I will be able to fulfill that and hear this as I walk down the aisle!!
49:13 - Far Off Promise (AndrewPlaysPiano)
I did not realize I had this saved until I went searching during this video. It's soft and peaceful yet has a power all of it's own. It can be difficult for a song to manage such a contradictory yet amazing tone yet those songs are always the greatest.
53:24 - To Far Away Times (Kara Comparetto)
This is my first time featuring Kara Comparetto's piano works, I believe. She really has some incredible stuff, so I do hope I can feature more on this channel in the future!! And a lovely note to end this wonderful mix on.

Enjoy!!
