    It's such a good final level theme. The theme is screaming at you that this is a trial of everything you've learned up to this point.

      @@NicoMendozaMusic You're welcome!
      I think this is one of the best compositions by Grant Kirkhope. I don't know about you, but some people say he makes "clown music" compared to David Wise.
      I think them folks don't understand that Grant's music is inspired by orchestral music that I guess isn't palatable for some people anymore, if only they heard you guys playing his songs.
      That's why I said it really brings out the composition. The N64's limitations had a bit of a barrier, but played by real instruments, I think it shows the definitive sound they were going with.

    I remember this music vividly as a kid playing this game, hours and hours of gameplay coming to an end, culminating in a race against the clock in a level where you literally have to do everything you’ve learned in the game. As a musician it almost brings me to tears the effort you put into this. Thank you. This made my day brother. I play this on the piano all the time but also having been a drummer, the Xylophone part gives me chills 🤯😎

      I knew that one of those comments would be hidden here somewhere...Just had to look. But in all seriousness this isn't one of those dystopian movies where if you get bad grades you get executed. If it was then it'd be appropriate but other then that no. You'd be surprised how many of those comments there are on videos like this. It doesn't matter what song it is, if it's intense you're gonna find something like that. So enough of those comments already, it's annoying, and it's not like you live in Japan. Or you do because I have no idea who you even are. Even still I keep seeing these comments over and over again so for the sake of people like me, spread the word to other people like yourself who make comments like that to f*cking stop. Seriously, what happened to that 1970s and 1980s rebellion against school anyway? It needs to come back seriously. And no, I don't care how long this comment is. Plus, someone already commented that on this UA-cam video 5 whole months before you did so there you go.

    This was fantastic to hear put together! The Game Brass added a whole extra layer of sound that was lovely to hear. It felt like a whole suite of music in one piece for the final level, with the theme going from tuba and violin and bouncing between with those sinister strings chords. What a fantastic piece of music and a wonderful first way to experience it through this incredible arrangement! I need to play DK64, haha... maybe if they add it to NSO ;-)
