Description
Normally when I orchestrate existing music, I try not to embellish too much. This time I added quite a lot of extra detail to bring out some more colour from the original track, and to fill it out a little.
I started by transcribing the track into MuseScore, before exporting MIDI and adding it to Logic Pro. Mostly I used solo instruments form Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra Core pack, along with the (gorgeous) Soft Piano from Spitfire Labs.
There's something so special when Terra's theme first appears in the piano in the original version of this track. I just hope I've done it justice.

Your detailed work really sparkles and the care that you put into this arrangement shows. Nicely done!
Thank you!
Aw HELL yes. Absolutely love this track. Nostalgia for days. You made really good use of BBC and LABS, lovely sounds. I think Sensei Uematsu would approve.
That is far too kind, but thank you :)
That is delightfully soft and delicate. Lovely orchestration, just love Terra's theme and this is a great version
Thanks so much!
