[Request] About Zelda TP’s Orchestral Pieces

Wait, ok, what's your question? Did any of these pieces appear in the game? The answer there is no.

As for who wrote what, I am inclined to think Kondo had input, but they were orchestrated by other people. I never considered Kondo a decent orchestrator... if he's even one at all.

If more topically informed people want to correct/contradict me please do.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I find that explanation misleading because of everyone's illusion that 'orchestrated' means 'live orchestra.' It doesn't. Orchestrated means arranged for orchestra, whether or not it's played by one. I still maintain that Kondo sketched out a structure and Oshima fleshed it out for the performance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah I know, I'm talking about the act of orchestrating the music, which is different from performing and different from composing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am just a bit wary when people start throwing the term 'orchestrated' around, as that wiki page does. Sometimes it's ambiguous.

Quote:

Kondo said three different trailer tracks were composed by three different people, orchestrated by Michiru Oshima afterwards, then performed by a small orchestra. As Kondo did the demo movie track, we are lead to believe that the others were not composed by him, but rather by Mahito Yokota (who could've done either 2 or 3, but I think he did 2) and a third, unnamed individual (possibly Toru Minegishi, or less likely, Asuka Ohta).

That's a bit confusing to me but after reading it a few times I suppose it clarifies.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I addressed how many people misinterpret what an 'orchestrated' piece is already. When someone says "that game's music is orchestrated," what do you infer from that?

Edit:
I should clarify that this subject isn't relevant to the original poster's question; merely my observation of the widespread misuse of the term.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Because orchestration is the act of arranging for orchestra, whether or not it's going to end up as a live performance. Most people don't call synthesized music orchestrated, for lack of being aware of the term's definition. Just a pet peeve of mine.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
