Hi all. I was inspired by the awesome contributions and decided to give it a shot. I particularly like the Alexander, Calcabrina and Ramuh theme. Thank you! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

Adding my contribution, I liked the overlapping of sections when the triplet section comes up, so decided to do a duet for this... with myself.

My favourite songs from FFXIV are;
- Under the weight
- Fiend
- Fallen Angel

I love the high tempo music especially, and all 3 of them have made their way onto my "Final Fantasy workout" theme

A trumpet duet

This version of Night in the Brume from Final Fantasy XIV, composed by Masayoshi Soken, is a trumpet duet arranged by myself and recorded with me and my music teacher. I used the original sheet music, while making it fit with for a trumpet duet.
I apologize for the video proportions. I recorded with my phone standing up.

NOTE: I live in Switzerland which is excluded from the countries that are allowed to take part in the contest. However I still wanted to give this a shot and made my own version of the theme because I thought it could be fun. Also because I am not allowed to win I didn't care much about the time-limit~

Description: Here my version of the theme "Night in the Brume". I tried to keep it calm and slow, fitting for a music that would play at night. Also I tried to add some cold tunes like bright bells and windchimes to give this a cold feeling. And as a contrast a nice warm bass that hopefully melts the ice a little.

My favourite songs: In Heavensward it's clearly "Painted Foothills"!! In ARR I like "Dawn of a New Era" the most although I really loved the live performance of "Oblivion" a the EU Fan Festival. Back in the first version of FFXIV and my 3rd title I want to mention is "Twilight over Thanalan" which I really miss~

I based it on the central motif of the piece and then played around with it.

Description:

This is a collaboration with two friends of mine. Roze, who sang vocals, and Kieran, who did the guitar solo and lead guitar parts. I wanted the lyrics to make more sense, so I indirectly brought in a few important characters into the lyrics, as well as the dragonsong war in general.

Favorite songs:

Oblivion (Shiva fight theme)
Night in the Brume
Stone and Steel (Plays during Heavensward hunts and the Grand Melee, among other scenes)

[Beethoven]

Title: Just Bruming Around

For my entry I wanted to write a song that captured the spirit of the original while also offering something new and exciting. So I used the theme itself as a foundation and wove it into a piano piece with quite a few original parts.
The beginning is basically a recreation of the original theme while the ending offers a loose interpretation of the organ part. Everything in between is a mix of striking melodies, some variations and my own compositions.

Please enjoy!
