This sounds like John Williams composed this. Yuzo Koshirio: The John Williams of Japan.🙂😀👍

[@DrLove0378]

Tekman 1992 I couldn’t have said it better myself! 👍🏼

[@chaunceymcloggins2647]

I was getting a very strong Elmer Bernstein vibe

[@MikeCrain]

The higher quality instruments like the tuba do the song justice when it was already really good.

[@RetroRob420]

3:44 - 4:15 is my favorite part. I get the chills every time i hear it

[@RobertRugg]

Awesome, my fav track from Actraiser! Thanks for upping! This rocks.

[@geniuswithacapitalk]

It still blows my mind that this exact music was playing on the SNES. A true testament to the console and its powerful sound card. 😐

[@thejwvariety]

this exact music wasn't. this is a real life, orchestral arrangement

[@-Trauma.]

@@thejwvariety you'd have to have been there 😌

Oh, the memories ...

[@yakov456]

Absolutely fantastic

0:10 Outstanding job on this in general... I just can't help but point out that the melody played in this sustained note is originally written one half step lower than the bass line, gives it the dissonance I believe was intended. Seems like you've opted to write the bass line in F# instead of G, making it a straight up octave interval. Small but big, possibly intentional. But overall terrific orchestration.

[@maggie6152]

Thanks for pointing that out, I never noticed before! It could have to do with the choice of instrumentation for that part and the original notes may have created TOO dissonant or muddy of a sound. Also, the uploader didn't compose this. I believe it was made for an orchestral show in Japan by Mr. Yuzo himself!

And the master did create people, and lo they were demanding little brats :3

[@lynnvryett]

The Prince of Persia is creeping through your cities as you listen to this.
