This medley contains "In a Snowbound Land" from DKC2, "Ice Cave Chant" from DKC1 and "Crystal Caves" from DK64 (which I know isn't technically an ice theme, but it very much belongs with the other two in my humble opinion!).

This arrangement sort of exploded out of me all of a sudden. I've always loved the ice, snow and crystal themes in video games, and these were some of the most beautiful ones ever composed (originally created by David Wise and Grant Kirkhope respectively). I don't know if I did these themes justice or not, but I hope that I at least made this medley sound VERY cold! I was going for glistening, echoing, reflecting, brisk textures. A cool draft here, a snowy bite there, a piercing shimmer here, a clunking, glassy formation yonder. There are parts which sound like chattering teeth and bones in my mind, or dead leaves rattling in a December wind. All around is a granular mist, filled with white little heat-zaps which steal everyone's precious warmth. I hope you enjoy this (although I sort of also want you to need to put on an extra few layers while listening to this)!
