The focus on brass fits, but I really do wish these two pieces were fleshed out a bit more.Īfter such a dramatic few tracks, the peaceful string-led "Epilogue ~To Good Times~" greets the listener and retains the simplistic beauty heard in the original. This is another dramatic piece, and once again, it barely gets going. The dramatic nature is retained, but it barely even gets going before it transitions to "Battle with Magus". Following that is my favorite piece, "Frog's Theme". It definitely adds to the mystery heard in the 600 A.D. Continuing on with a woodwind focus, "Wind Scene" follows after a harp gliss with a nice focus on flute and strings. The piece that follows is "Guardia Millenial Fair" and is another piece that retains the high spirits of the original, mainly due to the exquisite woodwind work.
CHRONO TRIGGER REMAKE SIDE BY SIDE FULL
Starting off with "Premonition," the listener is greeted to a mysterious sounding piece that is full of flute flourishes and some brass.
The other piece on this small promotional album is a medley featuring a variety of popular themes from the original soundtrack. It doesn't really push any new ground and is rather short, but it definitely brings a lot more color to the original music. Overall, it's a very nice translation of the original. The strings carry the melody excellently, while the lush brass and percussion helps to fortify it even further.
Very cinematic and epic in approach, the orchestration highlights the strengths of the original. In order to really get into the feel of Chrono Trigger, one must always consider the main theme. There is an orchestral rendition of the main theme and an orchestral medley featured. It features Yasunori Mitsuda's original compositions arranged and orchestrated by Natsumi Kameoka, who also arranged most of the music on Drammatica -The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura- and Echoes of War: Music of Blizzard Entertainment. It was given to those who pre-ordered Chrono Trigger. The Chrono Trigger Orchestra Extra Soundtrack is a promotional album for the Chrono Trigger DS remake.
