Haste_2 08/22/20 12:05:35 AM #351:	85) The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Staff Credits Series ranking: 2 of 4 https://youtu.be/N8nCEDyGHKk?t=99 Composer: Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, or Koji Kondo Score: 8.3/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R4), VGMC 6 (Lost R3), VGMC 7 (Lost R5 to Oil & Sweat) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/N8nCEDyGHKk?t=204, maybe? Irish jig! If that was all there was to it, Id get bored pretty quickly, but a lot of neat stuff gets added! Really, you could say this ending theme is about everything else. Still, I like the guitar (lute?) chords (4ths-based) ostinato I honestly never get tired of it. It evidently lends itself well to variations in harmony. It gradually adds one little idea at a time, until the next thing you know, its playing various themes. But yeah, I like the fact that the developing stuff is in the background, as opposed to the forefront. Until 1:54, at least. Then it starts displaying various themes from the game all I can say is between the dance feel and the sustained low strings, the presentation of those three themes work very nicely. Its been too long since Ive played this game, so the only theme that I know where it plays in the game is the sailing theme. The composer had lots of fun with the string synth harmonies, for sure. Notable is that there are two keys going on at once here! (both are represented by the guitar chord) Interesting how the sailing theme relies on those two notes the guitar doesclever. I'm loving the oboe/bassoon/violin trio interaction at 3:24! Yummy thick low chords shortly following lots of use of the 4th in them, which works because that chord omits the 3rd (3rd+4th at the same time creates a major CLASH). Okay, Im probably boring you now. Once we get to the ending, when everything drops out and you have Zelda's lullaby going...oh, MAN, the feelings. Nostalgia! Zeldas lullaby is my favorite music from Link to the Past, by the way. https://youtu.be/2j68QmOjUpE 84) NieR - Song of the Ancients ~ Fate Series rank: 3 of 5 https://youtu.be/ady--PNMsfI Composer: ??? ( produced by Kelichi Okabe) Vocalist: Emi Evans Score: 8.3/10 (Excellent VGMC History: VGMC 5 (Lost R5 to The Extreme) Favorite Part: All the vocal stuff! The standard Nier drums always set a dramatic mood! Who could possibly dislike them? The little chimes interspersed among them are so lovely, though! Lovely duet going, too. The singing is calm, but also intense (if that makes any sense hey, that rhymed!). The secondary dominants like at 1:36 are nice, and I love those call-and-responses such as at 0:30-0:32. Good string writing, especially with what they do between phrases (most especially at places like 1:26 very energized!). Strings taking over makes a nice intermediate section. At 2:46 the guitars and piano provide a fine texture there! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:943673142] in Haste2 ran...
