Rowan’s Theme, Route 209 (Pokémon Diamond and Pearl) - Fall 2022 Concert

Recording provided by Open Range Video and J-Tech Audio Visual. Audio mixed by Antonino d'Urzo.
Title: Rowan’s Theme, Route 209
Game: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
Composers: Go Ichinose, Junichi Masuda
Arranger: Dominic Marcinelli
The fourth generation of Pokémon games, Diamond and Pearl, were released in 2007. They introduced fans young and old to the Sinnoh region, a mountainous island where players would encounter a whole new swathe of characters. A classic game that many of us grew up with, 2021 saw the release of newer, polished versions of these games, titled Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This piece is based upon the revamped soundtracks, consisting of a medley of two well-known themes. The first is Professor Rowan’s theme, the first piece of music heard in the game, evoking feelings of burgeoning excitement at the start of a new adventure, followed by the beloved fanfare of Route 209’s theme, heard on the iconic pathway located at the heart of the Sinnoh region.

I was in band in high school and I always wanted to do a marching show that was pokemon themed. I would have loved playing this.

209번도로 음악으로 넘어갈 때 그리운 내 어린시절, 학창시절 때의 좋았던 추억에서의 감정이 폭발하는거 같아 눈물이 다 나오네요 진짜 너무 좋다..❤❤😢

Well this is beautifull

[@CaIamity_]

Amazing. I will say that theres a lot of parts missing from the original that would have made it better. For example the chimes part played at 1:46

[@SpadGame]

Man, that Scarle/Violet motif there kinda makes me feel nostalgic!

[@Ticklestein]

They’re playing it “slow” in the beginning. Missing accents. Makes it sound western. Good cover though.

[@pikachuchujelly4119]

Awesome arrangement, but it's out of tune, especially in the clarinets.
