Check Out this Epic, Cinematic Oath to Order Cover
Posted on February 25 2015 by Rod Lloyd
Covers of Majora’s Mask music are not hard to come by lately, but few go as far as to effectively place you into the world of Termina. In a new cinematic arrangement of the game’s chilling Oath to Order, composer Rozen plants listeners into Majora’s Mask‘s final hours. This cover, titled “Termina’s Demise,” is both emotional and beautiful, as one can imagine the feelings of Clock Town‘s citizens as the Clock Tower ticks down to zero.
Daniel “Rozen” Jimenez (currently assistant director for the Harmony of Heroes fan album) shares that this arrangement is meant to place you “in the center of the action as a citizen of Clock Town,” reliving the game’s climax through the music. He does an amazing job combining several sounds and melodies at the beginning of the song to create this effect. Rozen encourages listeners to wear headphones and close their eyes when listening to the piece. I of course did this, and the outstanding mix in the arrangement made for an emotional and visceral experience.
You can listen to Rozen’s music on YouTube and SoundCloud. You can also take a look at his website to hear more video game arrangements.
