Calico Corsair (Cheryl) FF:CC has great music and it was TOTALLY fun to play. Also, I got to play it on piccolo as well. Someone loves me. <3 :D

Also, there's Hornet, from Hollow Knight, an awesome arrangement I not only played several parts in - I also got to mix! <3

BUY THIS ALBUM PEOPLE. The video game music hype is real! :D Favorite track: Three Dances from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: III. Monster's Dance.

Shadows fall, and hope has fled, Steel your heart, the Dawn will come. The night is long, and the path is dark, Look to the sky, for one day soon, The Dawn will come. The shepherd's lost, and his home is far. Keep to the stars, the Dawn will come. The night is long, and the path is dark, Look to the sky, for one day soon, The Dawn will come. Bare your blade and raise it high! Stand your ground, the Dawn will come. The night is long, and the path is dark, Look to the sky, for one day soon, The Dawn will come.

When dark days came to us, We found no heaven or escape. All our prayers go unanswered, to take away this fear within. Our screams shake this tear-stained land. Our souls have been stripped bare. Can madness be the only cure? Even death is no respite from all this pain, our worldly plight. When will we see heaven's light? I think of you whenever a bell tolls. If I tell your tale, will this pain cease? For I pray for tempest-tossed, lost souls. Eternal sleep is where you find true peace.

There are many things an Adventurer or a Journeyman might seek. There are the obvious ones: Fame. Fortune. Untold Power. The curious ones: Knowledge. Experience. Stories of untraveled lands and unrivaled beasts. The more noble ones: Piety. Humility. Atonement. But surely, we universally celebrate these accomplishments when our hero has returned. We celebrate with pealing bells, with the sound of cheering, roaring crowds soaring overhead. We hold large feasts that feed the whole village for a fortnight. We build roaring towers of fire, tickling against the night sky as the flames lick higher. We hear slurred, drunken chants of our hero's name, with even more inebriated musicians screeching along, unable to tell a serpent from a lute. But in all of these acts of celebration, the most common constant seems to be that of dance. Every element, every twitch, every act seems to be rooted in this most fundamental of human celebrations. They seem to map to our very bodies, our souls, our motions as we move. The licking of the flames, the sound of the pealing carillon. Surely there is no other perfect metaphor to find meaning in the chaos: The ancient history, of the Rondo'd Dance.

Dreaming of the stars on high That speak to me in secret sighs And drifting on a breeze only I can feel and hear Could it be the sacred wind That's calling me to now begin To walk into the dark carrying the light of tomorrow The beating of the wings up high Beyond the earth, beyond the sky Now come, don't hesitate Don't look back as we've got to go now Don't fear You'll be safe from now on The morning sky watching over all Deep inside so silently My heart will speak Deep inside of me Memories flickering and shimmering on Endlessly Keeping close to the path Morning sky watching over all Moving over endless mountains oh so high Walk into the light Your heart will see the path and you will find the way Just wait and see Moving over endless sky oh so high Tomorrow Your heart will see the path and you will find the way Just wait and see Could it be the sacred skies That watch us all with fearless eyes? Feel the blue enter in your heart, Let it in with embrace, An embrace, Embrace you, To wait and... See!

about

The team behind VVGO have decided to put the power to make music in the hands of our community! Until now, we have offered full-ensemble or choral-only recording projects for anyone to join. With the VVGO Summer Mixtape, we open the door for smaller-scale pieces and a larger volume of pieces to manifest.

Here are those pieces!
