As suggested, here is an orchestral arrangement of the overworld theme from the original Golden Sun!
--------------------
➤ Analysis:
One of the great overworld themes from Golden Sun, this track heavily travels around familiar territory through its use of primarily the tonic (I - C major), the subdominant (IV - F major) and dominant (V - G major) chords, with an occasional transition to the relative minor (vi - A minor), such as at 0:36. Otherwise, there is not much else to analyse!
For the arrangement, I decided to augment the triumphant/adventurous aesthetic, but at the same time allowing a few "not-quite-as-loud" moments to give a brief respite for the ear, for example, the opening at 0:03, and at 0:36, which dies down slightly before growing once more at 0:51.
I added a few additional counter-melodies to flesh out the harmony, such as in the trombones and violas of 0:51 and the 2nd violins of 1:05.
--------------------
The score was created in Sibelius 7.5, and the audio was created in Cubase using the brilliant EastWest sample libraries.
