Thanks to DJFirewolf for the link to "Fantasia Alla Marcia for Piano, Chorus, and Orchestra": Click Here to Listen--Link from BlueLaguna.net
What did you think of "Fantasia"? I personally think it's quite possibly the best orchestral song I've EVER heard. Ever. It takes a lot to get me this worked up, but this was just an AMAZING piece.
To give you an idea of its awesomeness:
0:00-1:05
A very Star-Wars-ish and upbeat beginning, very majestic and jumpy.
1:05
It segues into a slight variation on KH1's "March Caprice" (credits theme song)--it gave me chills, how suddenly it faded in and made me remember the old version.
2:10
A rather chilling transition into a piano-centric variation on Dearly Beloved and some of the new KH2 themes, leading directly into...
2:37
A sweeping and very mournful rendition of "Always on my Mind" (the melody played when you lock Riku and Mickey behind the doors), seguing into...
3:03
Suddenly, the music gets frantic, with loud and brassy winds playing. We know what this means...
3:20
Now we're into "Guardando Nel Buio", the song heard during the last few boss fights against Ansem in the World of Chaos in KH1. Considering that this was one of the best battle themes in the game, well, that speaks for itself in full orchestra with chorus in Fantasia. Next we hear...
3:50
We're beginning to hear the undertones of "Another Side", and the chorus heard in Guardando continues through.
4:10
Now we're into "Another Side" (or, "Organization XIII")...a haunting and more subdued version than what we heard in Deep Dive.
4:28
And now we're back into a "Dearly Beloved" and "Always on my Mind" interlude...
5:02
A big brassy finisher and light flute and trumpet interlude, and suddenly...
5:42
A really powerful part of the song--after the franticness of all the above, suddenly the "March Caprice" begins quietly and very emotionally, though not with sadness. (This part really gets you good--definitely gave me a chill.)
6:13
"March Caprice" builds up and crescendos...until...
6:53
The choir comes back in full-force and the "March Caprice" plays at its biggest and brassiest and most majestic, and phases into a huge buildup into a very Beauty and the Beast-style finish, with slowing down, timpanis, and a huge final chord.
Awright, so call me a freak. But I thought this was just excellent. Any other music-lovers care to share their thoughts?
