Terranigma Medley - Terranigma (1995) - NJGSO 2022 Fall Concert

Composed by Masanori Hikichi and Takeshi Hama
Arranged by Jorge D. Fuentes
Video Editor: Selma Mehmedagic
Program Notes:
Terranigma is the third game in a series of titles created by ENIX and developed by QUINTET for the Super Nintendo, following SoulBlazer and Illusion of Gaia. Like its predecessors, Terranigma explores the duality of mankind and how there’s always the balance of light and darkness, like the balance of good and evil.
Our arrangement takes us from the title screen of “Light and Darkness” to the Darkside Underworld Field, where our Dark side protagonist is from, as he sets off on a journey that will take him out of the Underworld and up to the world above. He sets off outside his town of Crysta and into the unknown, into “The Departure.” This piece is a somber tune that showcases that darkness isn’t necessarily evil. As the hero, “Ark,” trudges on and solves a number of riddles and overcomes some challenges, he is able to awaken the planet and can eventually travel into the overworld. This allows him to go “Further into the Wide World,” which is the title of the second piece in the medley. This is a more triumphant tune that shows the life of the planet Ark has to traverse, so it has more positive overtones.
