Terra's Theme is a great piece of music in the melodic and elegant tradition of Nobuo Uematsu. I wanted to make an arrangement that'd tell a story but would keep the elegance in form and harmony. The result: "Resisting the Machine".
Terra is a character in the classical video game Final Fantasy VI, who's been unwillingly trained to use her extraordinary magical powers in the emperor's war machine. After she is liberated from the army she searches for another way to give her life meaning.
In this arrangement I've tried to juxtaposition the war machine (big growling orchestra) with Terra's strength of will to find her own way (folk instruments), ultimately finding her place as a powerful force of peace.
