The album version contains many improvements over the YouTube version, including:
-Added the shaker instrument, which I had somehow missed.
-Redid the arpeggio to give it a more staccato sound with an echo like in the original.
-Replaced most of the old percussion with the newer EWQL Hollywood Orchestral Percussion library.
-Included newer brass and woodwind libraries.
-Made various mixing improvements.
-Changed the intro to match the original.
-Several other minor improvements.

================================
(Original Description)



An orchestral remake/remix/cover of the Undersea Palace theme from Chrono Trigger using high-end sample libraries.

I combined several non-synth instruments (bagpipes, celli, alto flutes, harp, yangqin and piano) to achieve the synth-like sound at the beginning. Later in the track, I layered in an actual synth to give it a stronger effect.
