Secret of Mana Soundtrack played by orchestra | SNES Music | Childhood memories

Secret of Mana was one of my favorite games on super Nintendo when I was a kid. Every time when listening to Symphonic Fantasies (Orchestra) this throws me back to the age of 10.

Secret of Mana was one of my favorite 16 bit soundtracks back in the 90s. This nourishes my inner child.

This arrangement blew Nobuo Uematsu's mind so hard he let orchestral arrangers go wild with his music from this point forward. Before, Uematsu believed that most orchestral arrangement should stick to the original arrangements with small deviations. Not just because it's what most people expect, it's also a lot easier and do not impede with people's perception of the tunes and the songs. Hearing this made him realize that game music can be arranged like classical music so that it can convey the story of the game just from the music, without any additional help (accompanying videos, nostalgia, knowledge of the games; like how most game orchestra are performed in Video Games Live and Distant Worlds for instance) needed. This belief birthed the Symphonic Odyssey and the Final Symphony album, which arranged Uematsu's works in a far more artistic manner.

Amazing that, judging by the video quality, they recorded this a full 10 years before the game even came out!

I cried while listening to pure joy and a strong nostalgic remembrance from my teenage years when I began playing Secret of Mana, where I did enjoy the game in full playthrough time after time, and still do from time to time. And II will start up the game today after hearing this beautiful track.

I grew up listening to classical music...but I *loathed* the mid-20th Century "modern classical" movement. When these video games were released, their soundtracks were dismissed and disdained heavily by the classical music crowd as "not worthy, " unlike the mishmashed, atonal messes they praised...but honestly, I think that soundtracks like these are far superior. And finally, *FINALLY, * we are seeing these magnificent scores being treated with the *respect* they deserve!

The first 3 minutes contain more love and feelings than the entire crappy Manga-remake...

Sounds more like John Williams than SoM; very original arrangement

[John-pwis]

Wow, this proves without a shadow of doubt just how far computer gaming has come since the eighties, films and mini series like The last of us have, have all pushed it into the limelight, luv em or hate em gaming is here to stay.

Fantastic! But where is the music you can hear in Kakariko?

Unrecognizable orchestral video game remixes are so common. Took till 1:14 to hear anything from the game then it went back to the orchestral version of noodling.
