FINAL FANTASY VII: Main Theme, Nobuo Uematsu
CELLO COVER arranged by Manuel Santapau
In this video, I'm covering the FINAL FANTASY VII: Main Theme ( Nobuo Uematsu ). I play the cello cover version of the Main Theme for you, so you can hear how the song sounds and see how I play it.
If you're a fan of the video game FINAL FANTASY VII, then you'll love this cello cover of the Main Theme! This song is one of the signature tunes of the game, and is sure to bring tears of nostalgia to your eyes. Give it a spin and see for yourself how great this cello cover of the Main Theme is!
"Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII" (F.F.VIIメインテーマ, F.F. VII) is the main theme and world map theme of Final Fantasy VII. It was composed and arranged by Nobuo Uematsu, who builds the piece around a phrase containing a major 7th interval. The phrase returns in several other tracks on the soundtrack, making 7th intervals a staple in the game's identity. An analysis of the Main Theme from Final Fantasy VII is available from Video Game Music Academy.
"Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII" plays while the party travels on the overworld before the Meteor is summoned, but as the game's main theme, its motif is heard in many instances throughout the story. Its variations are the tracks "Dear to the Heart", which plays when the party leaves Midgar and at Mt. Corel, as well as in several towns; "Steal the Tiny Bronco!", which plays during the sequence at Rocket Town where the party acquires the Tiny Bronco; "On That Day, Five Years Ago...", which plays during the Nibelheim Incident flashback; and the airship theme, "The Highwind Takes to the Skies". The melody of the main theme is also included in the ending theme, "Ending Credits". Bits of the main theme melody also play in the background of "Under the Rotting Pizza", which is the theme of the Midgar Slums, and in "Who...Am I?" that plays during times Cloud Strife questions his identity.
"The Highwind Takes to the Skies"
Music
The main theme melody plays late into the "The North Cave" track, that plays in the Whirlwind Maze of the Northern Crater and on the overworld after Meteor has been summoned. The main theme is also part of the ending when "The Planet's Crisis" plays; many themes appear in "The Planet's Crisis" as it plays during the final cutscene of the game. The main theme is played twice: first at 1:13, (alongside "Tifa's Theme"), then at 5:00, with a quiet piano while the characters talk.
In Nibelheim, the melody of the theme can be played on the piano in Tifa Lockhart's house. By doing this during the flashback sequence on disc 1, and again during disc 2 or 3 when Tifa is in the party, the player can obtain her ultimate Limit Break.
"Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII" is track 1 of disc 2 on the Final Fantasy VII: Original Soundtrack. "Dear to the Heart" is track 23 of the soundtrack's disc 1; "On That Day, Five Years Ago...", is track 4 of the soundtrack's disc 2; "Steal the Tiny Bronco!" is track 8 of disc 3 of the soundtrack; "The Highwind Takes to the Skies" is track 3 of disc 4 of the soundtrack; "Under the Rotting Pizza" is track 14 of disc 1; "Who...Am I?" is track 23 of disc 3; "The North Cave" is track 21 of disc 3; and "The Planet's Crisis" is track 17 of disc 4 of the soundtrack; with "Ending Credits" as the final track.
Many fans consider the game's main theme to also be Cloud's character theme, given that it, along with many of the theme's variations, seems to play whenever something significant relating to him happens during the story.
