When I decided to do a Chrono Trigger arrangement I wanted to arrange something that captured the overall tone of Mitsuda's soundtrack. The only problem was that it never seemed like something that suggested grand orchestral fare, or any of my other "prerequisites". To me, the music has always sounded rather reserved in its melody and harmony, possibly rooted in more jazz-like idioms, and it rarely sought to dramatize things the old-fashioned way. With this in mind, I began my arrangement with a plaintive-sounding organ solo based on the cathedral music. From there on the music moves in and out of several ideas, while still trying to keep the somber feel.
