The Great Deku Tree (Ocarina of Time ReOrchestrated)

This piece is just fantastic. It perfectly suits how somber and serious the Great Deku Tree is. The song sits in the Phrygian Dominant scale, having both a flat second and a major third. By dancing around the chord tones that would otherwise make a major sound, Kondo give the song a wise yet urgent feel. My arrangement uses a string quintet, and because the song is so short, I made four 'sections' that play with the music to build interest and see what this melody is capable of.
Original Composer: Koji Kondo
Created for: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
Arranged by: ReOST
Special thanks to Theo Gieck for the artwork.

Congratulations! This song is way underused in the game for how good it is. Thanks so much!

I like the sound visualizer in his video. It looks like it's dripping.

XD That wasn't the intent, but you are definitely right. I tried fiddling around with where to put it. Still haven't landed on a 'best' solution as of yet.

I really like the double base under it all, makes it very deku tree like!

[@ReOSTmusic]

Thanks! I thought so too. The dry timbre of the contrabass adds a certain quality to it, though I'm not sure exactly what.
