Original text

こちらは頂いた資料を拝見したところ、美しく神秘的な場所でした。ですので、初代をプレイした方はお気付きだと思いますが、ザトール夜の曲イメージを頭の片隅に置きながら作曲しました。コーラスは自分で歌っています。言語は自分のイメージで作ったオリジナルです。イングリッシュホルンの響きをメインに、弦、シンセサイザー、コーラスが包み込むような音空間にしています。オーボエではないところが自分的にはポイントです。

Unofficial translation

When I looked through the documents I was given, I saw that this place was a beautiful, mystical location. So, as those who have played the first game may have noticed, I took some inspiration from the Satorl Marsh night theme while composing this piece. I performed the choir part for myself, using a language that I came up with myself. The sound of the English horn is the core of the piece, with the strings, synths, and choir enveloping the soundscape. I made a point not to use the oboe.[1]

Notes[edit]

  1. Oboe and English horn are similar instruments, with oboe usually preferred for solo parts.
