Here’s another song I’ve played some time around 2006. Circle of the Moon is the first Castlevania game for the Game Boy Advanced handheld console.
I believe this is one of the best original songs ever composed in the game’s soundtracks.
The basics of the song are simple. It’s an A minor song (C major range chords) and it somewhat plays out easily on piano. The video above is played based on my own interpretion of what it should or shouldn’t be inside the treble and bass clefs.
This is one of the songs I’ve played a few years back. It’s one of the OST from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, one of the greatest Castlevania games of all time.
As you can see, for some professionals out there, my flaws are obvious and my match towards the original is at most 95%. But in any case, my goal is to revive the same kind of feeling that players got when they first hit the level (Olrox’s Quarters).
The beat should be 3/4, if not 6/8. I suck at such theories anyway lol. Basically, it’s still a “bom-cha-cha” kind of song, you simply can’t miss it.
The first part of the song do have a chord, but I don’t bother to place it here anyway since it won’t sound exactly right anyway.
The song is in C minor. Harmonic minor of E flat.
I’ll post the rest of the chords and progression of this song at a later date.
