Medley

Description
An orchestral medley of four tracks from Final Fantasy VII. To fit the theme of New Beginnings I take the iconic final fantasy prelude, the opening track of final fantasy VII and the music from the game over - continue? Screen and glue them together with elements from the main theme of the game.

The music from this game is beautiful, and so lovely to work with, and its both a game I adored as a child, and the Final Fantasy VII remake orchestral tour is the first public event I have been to since the pandemic, so it sort of signals a new beginning for me personally as well.

Well done. I agree about the cymbals. But yeah this is really good work.

Great composition, I really enjoyed the medley. I especially like your use of brass to accentuate moments of calm, it brings a few soundtracks I've listened to before to mind, like LOTR's. Really well done.

If I were to mention the slightest gripe I have with your otherwise excellent song, it's really the cymbals' volume, as someone else's said. But I wouldn't dock from your rating for something THAT minor, so you get the full 5 stars from me.

Awesome job! These tracks go together perfectly. My favorite part was when the main theme came in during bombing mission in that style, than transitioning out of that! Great way to begin and end the song as well. I liked that you got all of these cohesively within 3:00 minutes as well, it felt like just the right length.  I got to hear this song on the live stream yesterday and wanted to make sure I got over here to review it. Nicely done!

The intro and outro really gave off a FFXIV vibe and I love it. Found the cymbals a tad loud in the middle section but great job overall.

As stated by others, amazing job with the cc automation, it really feels like a real orchestra playing. Beautiful orchestration and choice of instruments. Very enjoyable silky smooth transitions too! Great job!

The middle section with the main theme over the bombing mission riff is really nice, great job. I already said this before but, great job with the midi cc programming sounds really clean.

The composition and quality of sound here are both amazing! I haven't played the game, but I'm sure you did the original tracks justice.
