A Bell is Tolling from Secret of Mana (An Historic Accordion Cover)

(composed by Hiroki Kikuta)
To be completely honest, I've never played Secret of Mana. I spent quite a bit of time on Legend of Mana, and played a very poorly translated rom of Seiken Densetsu 3, but for whatever reason never got to this game - at any rate, that's a fact I plan to change soon. But between the recommendations of friends early on, to the amount of times this game's soundtrack is recognized on various best-of-VGM lists and playlists, one gets the impression that this OST is significant for a lot of people. This tune is a fine example of the alluring, hard hitting drum programming throughout (here represented on beatbox) as well as the gorgeous harmonies with overlapping texture. I knew that the orchestration on this tune wouldn't survive if I tried to simplify it down to a live take, and I was glad to get the chance to work with beatboxing and overdubbing again.

Its worth your time if you like Legend of Mana, alot of the story themes that persist stem from it. Also, good work
