Description
Even before the theme had been announced, I already had the idea to do a Pokémon game. When it got released and was "New Beginnings", I came up with the idea of arranging the openings to one of the games. It just seemed fitting to do Diamond and Pearl with the remakes just around the corner.

I arranged the track in an orchestral style, specifically wanting to keep the feel of the original while applying more modern sampled instruments as well as expanding the tracks themselves. I arranged the track in FL Studio, but did some of the more complex orchestral arranging (like some of the string chords) in MuseScore 3, and then recreated it in FL.

I really enjoyed doing another OST Composing Jam (especially with how different it felt compared to the previous one), I'm just disappointed that I didn't have much time to work on it as I would have liked to have arranged more than just the one track.

Orchestration sounds great, good job! I haven't heard the original track, but the melody reminds a lot of the title theme from Heart Of Darkness.
