But how does the Theme relate to his "Sorrow" virtue?In this deep dive, I will deconstruct Nobuo Uematsu’s masterpiece instrument by instrument. Checking the different sections of the theme, I believe we can observe his progression, from naiveness, purity and power.We also check the relation with the actual Japanese virtue "Aishou" (Sorrow) assigned to Vivi by Hironobu Sakaguchi and the impact on the composition.Analysis based on the book "A Book To Call Home: The Music of Final Fantasy IX", check [https://linktr.ee/emigiaquinta] for more!"Vivi's Theme", "Black Mage Village" and "A Place To Call Home" are composed by Nobuo Uematsu and property of Square Enix.#finalfantasyix #ViviOrnitier #videogamemusic #musictheory #nobuouematsu #ffix #finalfantasy

Well, we started talking about Final Fantasy and Opera & we ended up on modern artists like The Beatles or Taylor Swift! On the second part of the interview with Berklee's teacher Tom Rudolph, we analyse two big topics: 1. How did we end up in the romantic period, the golden era of opera. 2. What was the impact on nationalism on music & where does our future music lead with the ongoing globalisation. Don't forget to share your thoughts!

On the EP8 of the Gamer's Kingdom... We discuss Operas & Final Fantasy VI with Tom Rudolph, teacher at Berklee!Which composers influenced the opera of Maria & Draco?

What inspired Uematsu (and likely Sakaguchi!)?- Tristan & Isolde- Traviata- La BohemeInterested on exploring opera?
Start with “La Boheme”

Watch live opera on the cinema, in your city! (Arguably better than live on stage opera! - and cheaper!)
