Happy October! Episode 23 of “Into the Score” tackles an incredible score by composers Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto… it’s called “Final Fantasy Tactics.” It was released for the Sony PlayStation by Squaresoft in 1997 and it is a story of complexity, drama, love and the strive for goodness in the world - not one that you want to miss!
In this episode, we continue the second part of our study of the symphony orchestra, as well as concepts of tone colour, musical texture and thematic pairing!
The two documents that I discussed in the show are below and free for you to download!
