Unfulfilled/The Color of Sunrise: Orchestral Arrangement (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

"It's been five long years. Where have you been, Audistory? You don't really expect me to believe that you've been napping this whole time, do you?"

I have returned to uploading video game arrangements! It's been a while since I've had a chance to do something like this, as I've largely been focusing on creating music and sound design for indie video games. I know this isn't the first time I've taken a break, and it might not be the last, but I always want to keep coming back to creating content when I can. Creating orchestrations of video game music tracks that I enjoy is a passion of mine, and I enjoy sharing what I create with you all.

This track is a mix between two of my favorite emotional tunes in Three Houses, Unfulfilled and The Color of Sunrise. This is perhaps a break from my usual rhythmic, high-intensity style, and is a much more laid back, chill mix. I wanted to capture the feeling of the timeskip, with a melancholy tone that turns into hope as the protagonist, Byleth, returns to the world. With a good teacher to guide them, those who are lost will find their way.

Anyways, and as always, I appreciate comments as they are a good source of motivation.

"Heh... You overslept, Teach! Pretty rude to keep a guy waiting like that, isn't it? ...What? What's with that surprised look? You didn't think I'd given up on you coming back, did you? ...You feel that? A new dawn is rising. Not just for us, no... For all of Fodlan."

[koyomiararagi]

I should've known... That one day, you would be haunting me as well...

[RhythmGrizz]

I'm crying
Just remembering everything that happened at Garreg Mach.
What a beautiful story.

[Cinnuhminn]

To think we’d meet up again at Garreg Mach after five years... the goddess has blessed us with your return

The colour of sunrise... the one Edelgard only sees if we choose her, and as a result, force everyone else's hopes, wishes, and dreams to go unfulfilled. That's the saddest thing about this game. Whatever you do, whatever you choose, you're condemning someone to death. That's why this game is so good. Because everyone is right and wrong in their own way (except Rhea. In my opinion, she was just all-around wrong), and we have to choose based on what we believe in.

This is beautiful. It actually had me crying from the very start.

The use of the various instrument timbres, the balance in volume.

Even the use of the Three Houses motifs, in such a well orchestrated manner.

If I didn't know the game's soundtrack, I'd say this is part of the game because it just sounds that convincing.

This is an amazing job. The people who hire you to make their soundtracks definitely picked an amazing artist. Move onward!

And. Thanks for this amazing music

Been replaying three houses lately. I think the biggest standout for me was the support conversations between Marianne and Dimitri, my two favorite characters. The mental struggles they went through felt so realistic and how they handled them even more so. It made me really happy seeing them interact and openly share their feelings with each other, both thinking “they get it”. I’m not much of a shipper, but damn if these two aren’t a match.

Wonderful work as always. Your music never ceases to inspire. If a three houses movie ever gets made, you’d be a perfect fit for the music department.

[panasonicbluray]

holy shit i love how you threw the gronder field motif in there

[erikamorgan]

You should do a Fire Emblem Awakening mashup. I know it’d be a blast from the past, but I can’t even imagine how good something like Don’t Speak Her Name would sound with this type of orchestration.

[rhettmitchell]

This was so so gorgeous, thank you!! I hope you come back with more stuff soon 💞🫶🏼

[maxrichards]

It can’t be! Professor?
It is really you? But I searched everywhere and never found a trace!
My teacher... what have you been doing all this time? Where have you been?

(I was sleeping)

Joking!? At a time like this?!
You do realize it’s been 5 years since you disappeared!
Do you have any idea how guilty I felt, how broken my heart was?
I searched high and low after you vanished! Even though there was no proof, I somehow knew you were alive!
All this time, I’ve lead everyone as best I could, and fought with all my heart. It’s been a difficult path to walk alone.

(I know, El. I was too weak in the face of an overwhelming foe. But I’m here now, you don’t have to be alone anymore.)

[souhiyori]

That Blue Skies and a Battle/Between Heaven and Earth was a really nice touch. Good job!

[galacticsilver]

I only found your work on this channel recently but your music/arrangements always leave me amazed, fantastic job!

[shadownight]

YOUR PATH LIES ACROSS MY GRAVE...

I WANTED TO WALK WITH YOU

















MY TEACHER

[Ninjaananas]

It is so beautiful. Two of the most touching soundtracks of this game full of good music.

[emerey]

This deserves WAY more views. Absolutely amazing!

[terraghost]

I'm glad I am subscribed, I'm even gladder that you're back!

[maxrichards]

Nobody has disliked yet. As it should be.
The first one who does gets a 1-way ticket to the eternal flames, courtesy of the professor him/herself!

the music in this game is already emotional, but somehow you made these themes even more emotional...

[RanOutOfSpac]

So I played this game in this order:

Black Eagles
Golden Deer
Blue Lions
Church

I played it in that order because I did not like Dimitri.

After beating Blue Lions, not only did it become my favorite route by far, Dimitri also became my favorite character by far. Holy fuck, all the routes are sad as heck in their own way, but Dimitri’s broke my frigging heart. Obviously I heard unfulfilled in all the routes after the time skip, but it really felt like Dimitri’s song and it hit hard.
