Somnus / Dearly Beloved / Xions Theme ~ Crossover Arrangement Messer Music 2018-02-09 | I've noticed that a lot of the main musical themes in the Kingdom Hearts series are written in the same key as 'Somnus', the main theme from Final Fantasy XV. Love the games or hate them, they've got pretty good music.All these themes are originally composed by Yoko Shimomura. They all share a similar tone and style, so I thought it would be fun to make my own original arrangement for piano.I've mixed the themes together into one flowing piece. Recorded the full midi myself.Themes used:'Somnus' -FFXV'Dearly Beloved' -KH1-KH3'Xion's Theme' -KH358/2 Days'Vector to the Heavens' -KH358/2 Days All music was originally composed by Yoko Shimommura

I thought this could fight a cool boss fight in Quadratum or maybe the final world.
ETERNAL DREAMS - Eternal Struggle Messer Music 2021-07-15 | All percussion in this is real. Piano, Brass, and Organ VST is from KH1. Specifically the piano is from Scherzo di Notte, brass is from Shrouding Dark Cloud, and the pipe organ from "Turning the Key".ETERNAL DREAMS Is an original ARPG Im currently working on with a small team of developers. My hopes are to release a working game at some time in the next few years but I'll see what happens.I couldnt resist working on the musical score however, so I will be posting some potential music here from time to time. ETERNAL STRUGGLE is one of the boss themes against beings called the Celestials. They are super-human subjects who are loyal to their leader, Ira who is hell bent on obtaining eternal life through the means of abandoning his body and becoming pure energy.

A new rendition of Dearly Beloved as a concept for a possible KH4 or Verum Rex game. I decided to add parts from Yozora's battle theme from KH3 Remind and some of Somnus from FFXV.

KINGDOM HEARTS III - DEARLY BELOVED (Concept) Messer Music 2018-12-06 | My version of dearly beloved. This time remastered with some new VSTs. I made the image myself. I know it's crap. Includes a leitmotif from a few of my fan OSTs. originally composed by Yoko Shimomura. Arranged by myself.
KINGDOM HEARTS III - EPIC BOSS MUSIC (Imagined) - LET DARKNESS REIGN Messer Music 2018-05-29 | I just had a blast making this one. Hope you all enjoy my composition!
KINGDOM HEARTS III - THE 13th RESURRECTION (Imagined) Messer Music 2018-05-27 | The way it should have been. You may have noticed I deleted the other one. I just wasn't personally satisfied. This one includes more choir and percussion and the motif for Org 13.
Kingdom Hearts III - Ethereal Shores (Fan-made Destiny Islands Theme) Messer Music 2018-05-16 | A soothing Beach theme in C minor. Thought it would work well as a new theme for DI, similar to how Twilight Town had a new theme for KH2. I put a lot of effort into this one. Many weeks.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - THE 13th STRUGGLE - Epic Orchestration Ver. 2 Messer Music 2017-07-30 | I downloaded the footage from KH-Vids.netKingdom Hearts is owned by Disney and Square EnixThis is my newest arrangement of "The 13th Struggle" originally composed by Yoko Shimomura.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - Night Raid (Boss Music) - Fan-made Messer Music 2017-07-26 | Kingdom Hearts 3 Footage belongs to Square Enix and DisneyI love KH boss music. Battle music was the first type of music I started out with. I've always been fond of percussion as well, as the snare drum was the first instrument I ever learned, and I really liked how Shimomura uses it to her music's advantage when writing these orchestrations. The battle music can sound totally different with the percussion removed. This one is a little different from the others in the dynamics department. I sort of broke away from the tradition of keeping the song the same volume throughout. Thinking back to pieces in the FF15 soundtrack or KHDDD. Shimmomura would often break away from the louder parts of the song, to let the quiter instruments take a place. It adds a more classical tint on things.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - Toy Story Boss Music (Fan-made)[Lights Triumph Ver. 2] Messer Music 2017-07-21 | Kingdom Hearts 3 Footage belongs to Square Enix and DisneyI love KH boss music. Battle music was the first type of music I started out with. I've always been fond of percussion as well, as the snare drum was the first instrument I ever learned, and I really liked how Shimomura uses it to her music's advantage when writing these orchestrations. The battle music can sound totally different with the percussion removed. This is a newer version of "Light's Triumph" which when I wrote it a few years back, I had always imagined it would fit as a sort of mini boss theme kinda like Rowdy Rumble in KH2. After seeing this new AMAZING trailer, I thought this could fit as a Toy Story specific boss theme. Especially in the Galaxy Toys area
KINGDOM HEARTS III - EPIC BOSS MUSIC (Imagined) - A DEBT TO REPAY Messer Music 2017-06-24 | I love KH boss music. Battle music was the first type of music I started out with. I've always been fond of percussion as well, as the snare drum was the first instrument I ever learned, and I really liked how Shimomura uses it to her music's advantage when writing these orchestrations. The battle music can sound totally different with the percussion removed. So of course, this probably would represent a larger, tougher boss, maybe somewhere in between mid to end-game I think.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - THE 13th STRUGGLE - Epic Orchestration Messer Music 2017-06-14 | I didn't rely on any midi I found online to make this. I actually learned the piano parts by sheet music and the rest was by ear. It wasn't hard to figure out the patterns of the percussion and cellos and organ and what not. Not %100 the same as Shimommura's Version but that's because I tried to put my own twist on it. I added some more instruments like the piccolo and trumpets. I tried to also mix things I liked both about the original and the 2.5 Version of this piece. ENjoy!! ~~

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Duel of the Fates (Battle Theme) Messer Music 2017-06-02 | If there happens to be a Star Wars themed world in kingdom hearts 3, I imagine the music would go something like this for the battles.I made a looped version of "Duel of the Fates" from The Phantom Menace soundtrack composed by John WIlliams. I tried to give it a KH twist. I used violin and cello in parts to sound more like Shimomura's style in parts.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - Keyblade Master (Ver. 2)[Fan-Theme] Messer Music 2017-03-26 | A more classical and symphonic version of my "Keyblade Master" theme for Kingdom Hearts 3. I wanted to add more gravity to the piece. Less of a midi sound and more real of a sound like from 1.5 + 2.5. I also borrowed themes from my other KH pieces, like xehanorts theme and incorporated it into this new piece. Enjoy! If you're a fan of my compositions and arrangements, then please give a thumbs up and subscribe for more! :)
[KINGDOM HEARTS III Final Mix] - Master Xehanort - Alternate Boss Theme (Fan-made) Messer Music 2017-02-02 | I loved the music in KH3 but ive come to love this theme that I've done over and over and I still feel like the final boss should have introduced at least one new musical theme. I thought i would be cool if they decided to do an alternate theme (one actually composed by Yoko this time) for a final Mix DLC or something. But anyway, here's the updated version. This is my newest version of my Final boss theme for kh3. I added new instruments, completely remixed it and made it more "orchestral" and tried to buff the realism. The piano part is real piano. It was recorded and performed by my friend, James Stuart.

Duel Of The Fates- Electro Remix Messer Music 2011-10-18 | I was able to get an midi of "Duel Of The Fates" and decided to make my first real remix. I used some synths and bells with three looped drum beats. This song was featured in Star Wars EP 1: The Phantom Menace. It wasn't the best Star Wars movie, but you can't go wrong with John Williams.
