Vision of Priamill | Klonoa: Empire of Dreams | WMGSO's Fall 2023 Concert
14Vision of Priamill - Klonoa: Empire of Dreams (2001)

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams was a charming puzzle-platformer released on the Game Boy Advance. It is a side story in the lore of Klonoa, a Dream Traveler who travels into troubled dreams and worlds to help others. In Empire of Dreams, Klonoa goes to the Kingdom of Jillius to help defeat four monsters that are disrupting the land.
The music of the Klonoa games reflects the aura of dreams—sometimes atmospheric, sometimes solemn. Klonoa travels to the opera town of Priamill and discovers that a famous soprano named Muzika has been turned into a monster who screeches when she sings. As Klonoa explores, each level winds deeper and deeper into the Opera House, from the outskirts of the town to the massive interior.
“Vision of Priamill” accompanies Klonoa as a melancholy wistful waltz that gives the Opera House a dreamy, somber vibe. The piece becomes more urgent when Klonoa realizes the extent of his mission and rushes headforth into this dangerous musical waltz. Multiple musical phrases fade in and out, matching the scenes of uncertainty in Priamill. As Klonoa defeats the monster and reverts Muzika back to her original form, the hesitant conclusion of this piece asks a beckoning question: What is really going on in this Kingdom? If you want to know more, you’ll have to find it in the rest of the story.
The Klonoa series is known for its deep stories and incredibly imaginative worlds, and “Vision of Priamill” is a lush soliloquy of Muzika’s heart and the uncertain path there.
This piece was performed at Adventure & Apocalypse, WMGSO's Full Ensemble Fall 2023 Concert at the Rachel M Schlesinger Center.
