Title: The Black Wind Howls
Game: Chrono Trigger
Composer: Yatsunori Mitsuda
Arranger: Braidon Saelens
Featuring: Silas Rager (Trumpet), Landon Stone (Trumpet)
“The Black Wind Howls” aims to tell the story of Magus, a sorcerer prince of an ancient kingdom where magic is abundant. Due to a desperate attempt by his mother to gain immortality from an ancient being known as Lavos, Magus is transported through time and separated from his sister and only friend Schala. His only goal from this point onwards is to travel back to his home and reunite with his sister by any means necessary. Though he succeeds at returning to his own kingdom and time, his failed attempts to change history and save his sister cause the destruction of everything he knows. “The Black Wind Howls” captures the emotions of Magus’s tragedy--his pain, determination, hubris, and grief.
