I started working on this remix shortly after I received some toys for my computer that were both very new and very complicated with which to play--these toys of course being new samples for my beloved GigaStudio. To keep things simple, a remix/arrangement for woodwind quintet seemed appropriate, keeping the size of the ensemble small and the texture easy to manage. This is my first new, public remix since July 2004, and is also among my shortest remixes.

Composed under extreme pressure in three days, 'Contrapunctus' is a four-voice double fugue, the final project for an eighteenth-century counterpoint course I attended at my school. Presented here is a transcription of the fugue for organ; the samples used employ their own natural reverb. The overall form of the work is in four parts--a fugue on the 'Prologue' theme, a fugue on the Castle Coneria theme, a fugue combining the two subjects, and a coda/chorale on the traditional harmonization of the 'Prologue' theme. All answers are tonal, however the harmonic treatment throughout much of the fugue uses the 'modally diatonic' language present in my more recent original compositions (which could explain the funkiness of some expositions). Episodic material is mostly free-composed and occasionally uses stretto, although there are infrequent instances of augmentation and inversion.

Started and completed in only a matter of days, 'Polonaise mistienne' is a Chopin-esque spin on Rydia's theme. Principally, only a short part of the theme is used and developed through a series of variations on its opening motif, however the Trio section finally presents the theme in its entirety over a running bass line based on the 'Prelude' arpeggiation. Other themes from 'Final Fantasy IV' make subtle and brief appearances in similarly transformed guises (most notably 'Golbez, Clad in the Dark' and 'Troian Beauty').

A bit perturbed by the lack of entrants for this contest round, I undertook the task of breaking out of my 'classic' style. Although I have some background performing (and studying to a lesser extent) classic jazz-style music, arranging game music in this style was very new to me, presenting all sorts of challenges that one doesn't encounter with an orchestral or piano arrangement. I composed the lead sheet for 'Fields of Beryl' in about a half hour, then spent almost two days recording and editing the one useable take of about a dozen others for each part. It's not the most refined piece I've arranged, but I think the sound is appropriate for an amateur jazz performance. This arrangement is performed with a tenor sax/piano/stand-up bass combo.
