One of my favourite Zelda Links Awakening dungeon themes heard after you begin to learn of the true nature of Koholint Island, now fully transcribed with sheet music and instrumental parts!
➤ Analysis:
A remarkably tragic dungeon theme that reflects how we begin to understand what will happen to Koholint island once we are successful.
The original 1993 version consisted solely of a synthesizer oscillating through various harmonies on a single, monophonic melodic line. From this, Nagamatsu transformed the material into a massive 10-part string orchestra that is gushing with emotion.
The harmony of the 1993 original is kept intact, and so the track begins in C minor (0:03) and quickly travels to the submediant key (6th degree; 0:06) of Ab major, followed quickly but subtly to the subdominant key (4th degree; 0:11) of F minor, and then back to C minor over a pedal of G (0:15), allowing for a final cadence of G major to C minor.
However, this cadence shifts surprisingly to an interrupted cadence, going from G major to Ab major 7th (Ab-C-Eb-G; 0:19), where we would otherwise have expected it to return to the tonic of C minor.
To further decorate these opening 4 bars, the harmony is enhanced with various yearning dissonances such as the augmented 4th (the D in the violas of b.2; 0:06) and major 7ths (the G in the 2nd violins of b.2; 0:06). These types of harrowing added-note dissonances persist throughout the entire track.
By 0:28, Nagamatsu introduces some faster string material in the 1st violins, now modulating to the relative major of Eb major by 0:32. Although briefly in a major key, the emotion is not that of happiness, but still tragedy, as Nagamatsu maintains various added-note dissonances such as the major 9th (the F in the violas of b.8; 0:32).
Towards the end of this phrase, we rest in the key of Ab major which acts harmonically as a Neapolitan 6th chord in the key of G minor (the flattened 2nd degree of G minor; Ab major) which pivots systematically to the dominant key of D major (0:41). At this time, we are also given a seamless clash of false relation tones; an F# against an F-natural (in the low strings and violin I respectively). This is another example of a brutally crushing dissonance that further enhances the tragic-ness of this theme.
At the end of the phrase (b.12; 0:49), we get yet another devastating dissonance of a minor 9th (G vs Ab; in the low strings and violin I respectively), further decorated by the violin Ibs piercing descent downwards as we return to the tonic of C minor (b.13; 0:54).
Now, the opening 12 bars of material repeats (0:54), now with the addition of the full synthesizer material heard in the 1993 original - a perfect celebration of original and remake - which blends beautifully with Nagamatsus new material.
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using sample libraries from Vienna Symphonic and the Massive synthesizer.

Heres an orchestral arrangement Ive created of Sakurabas Airs Rock from Golden Sun.
➤ Analysis:
In this track, the tonal center is rather blurred. It would appear to be in F Lydian due to the 1st measure (0:02), though it could arguably also be E Phrygian with many phrases resolving into E (0:05). And then the final section takes place in E as well (1:11), with a lead in from A minor to B major.
In many of Sakurabas tracks, he uses a common 4/8-bar phrasing. However, in this track, there is an intriguing 6-bar phrase (0:02 - 0:21), disturbing the flow of expected phrasing which could be attributed to the unpredictability of the wind.
Whereas Magma Rock was dense and muddy, and Aqua Rock was bright and twinkling, Airs Rock is breathy and flowing. As such, Ive used an extensive amount of woodwind instruments, as well as a full choir with a treble soloist. The extended flute technique of percussive breaths was also used, to further enhance the breathy aesthetic. Strings only appear in the final section, as per the original.
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using the brilliant EastWest sample libraries.
For the flute percussive breaths, I also used Carla Rees excellent free flute samples from her website: www.altoflute.co.uk

With the recent release of Zelda: Links Awakening HD, I wanted to tackle a few of the brilliantly orchestrated tracks, starting with the Overworld Theme (with its initial woodwind introduction).
➤ Analysis:
The Overworld Theme to Links Awakening has a few versions; this particular one that opens with woodwind fanfare is only played once after you first retrieve the sword from the beach. After that, this woodwind introduction is replaced by a string introduction (which I have included in the .PDF scores below).
To begin the analysis, this woodwind introduction begins glamorously with tertiary modulations from G major to Bb major to Db major (0:03), creating a remarkably triumphant sound. To get back to the tonic of G major from Db, a simple semitonal shift upward is used, getting us from Db major to D major. From there, a simple perfect cadence brings us back into G major.
The main string section opens with the familiar Zelda motif, which continues more or less identically to many of its previous renditions from other games. The first big change occurs at 0:33 where the original Zelda material suddenly melts into a chromatically descending legato passage which concludes in the tonic minor (G minor).
Following on is a brief section in Eb major (0:38) where the cello takes a solo role. But the 1st violin quickly returns to reclaim its solo role (0:44), repeating back to the previous harmonic founding of Eb major.
However, here the harmony modulates to Ab major rather than D minor (0:47). This rather sudden and extreme shift seems quite distant from the tonic of G major. So how do they resolve it? By using a cheeky Neapolitan 6th progression (Ab major to D major to G minor/major) which solves this harmonic problem seamlessly and with a lot more interest than a simple perfect cadence.
Sticking true to Nagamatsus philosophy of not having reverb in order to get the best sound quality out of the 3DS/Switch speakers, I have applied very little reverb here.
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using sample libraries from Vienna Symphonic.

A transcription Ive made of this theme from Fire Emblem: Awakening and an audio I also created to test it out.
➤ Analysis:
You can notice some similarities of this Id theme to Id (Purpose) through the presence of the snare drum and slow padding chords in each bar (the harmonic contour of which is similar to bars 5-8 from Id (Purpose), but not exact).
This Id seems to be built out of two parallel fifth chords that are combined to create this harmonic ambiguity and floating sensation. The improvisatory nature of the cello solo furthers this atmosphere.
You can also see the primary Awakening motif (0:30) which is scattered throughout the entire soundtrack of Fire Emblem: Awakening.
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using the brilliant EastWest sample libraries.

Another orchestral arrangement Ive made of this static, yet eerily beautiful theme from Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
➤ Analysis:
Since the original audio was so stationary, with very little development or movement at all, I remained faithful to that and scarcely changed the instrumentation or harmonies. The sense of agelessness is hopefully as apparent as it was in the original. And if not, well, the metronomes might help!
Sakuraba uses the phrygian mode on F (F, G-flat, A-flat, B-flat, C, D-flat, E-flat) - a very dreary mode that aids in suggesting that timelessness/agelessness. There is a metric modulation in the latter phrase of this theme, when the percussive instrument enters in complete metric dissonance to the rest of the instruments, again suggesting the theme of time and perhaps embodying the prolonged lives the Lemurians have.
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using the brilliant EastWest sample libraries.
