The Hylian Phoenix OST: Fate's Footsteps
Description:
I composed "Fate's Footsteps" about two years ago for the Celdena Field area of Robin's quest The Legend of Zelda: The Hylian Phoenix. It's arguably my most complex piece to date, sporting layers of intricate overlapping parts and a driven, intense atmosphere. While the piece is pretty powerful as a whole, I tried to modulate its energy somewhat throughout the duration. You'll notice that the introduction, A, and B parts each have a sort of crescendo toward their ends before beginning the (relatively) softer part that follows. It maintains the tension without being overwhelming. The song is probably best used in an intense, late-game overworld setting, but please don't limit yourself to just that. Members often dock me points because I didn't fit the theme they wanted me to. This time, everything is up for your interpretation.
When I first composed this piece in August of 2010, I was obsessed with the introduction of the song and didn't put as much effort into the remainder. After now revisiting and reevaluating the song, I made a few tweaks to reduce the general sloppiness and frequency of sour spots. The new version is clearly imperfect; nonetheless, I'm happy with how it turned out. For your benefit, I included the original version of the song in the ZIP file along with the new one. When leaving comments, please rate which you believe is the better of the two—taking an average is unfair to me because I wasn't obligated to share both renditions with you in the first place.
Please enjoy.

Strato (Nuvo) — His music encouraged me to experiment with using an organ and bells.
