In celebration of the 3rd anniversary of Xenoblade Chronicles 2's worldwide release (a few days late, I know), I release this transcription of Yasunori Mitsuda's masterpiece "Past From Far Distance", the choral theme of Praetor Amalthus. The constantly varying tempo and the thick polyphony, especially in section E, made this a pretty difficult endeavour. While not entirely perfect, I deemed it "good enough" to release in this state. It is my first ever transcription of a musical score, but I'm glad I had some help from my much more experienced father!
Note that the original recording was performed by the Bratislava Symphony Choir, singers who are most likely familiar with Latin and possibly also German pronounciation. The "lyrics" are in fact just a meaningless string of syllables, obviously imitating Latin to some degree. The lyrics I gave are just what I hear with my knowledge of Latin and German pronounciation. A lot of these syllables, especially the vowels, are very "Japanese-friendly" as well.
