Arena Reorchestrated

I'm a music composer and I've done work for some small indie game projects in the past as well as some other personal projects and work with other local artists in my area. A while back I started reorchestrating certain music tracks from Arena with my sound libraries and even taking some liberties by extending them or adding new instruments. I thought I'd share the handful I made within the past year. I redid six of my favourite tracks before putting it away for a while. I hadn't seen this really done before, besides a few recordings with some more advanced MIDI hardware than Adlib or Windows GS,, so I decided to make some myself just for personal enjoyment.

Upon discovering this forum I see that others have made some truly fantastic renditions of their own that I wasn't aware of and they sound quite spectacular! So I don't know if it's worth it to continue and make more tracks from Arena and Daggerfall seeing as they've been done already (and quite well-done at that) so it'd be redundant, but I thought I'd share what I had made anyway.

That sounds stunning! Very good, I personally like that a lot.

Yeah, there are some people who did already the music, but everyone puts his personal note into the rearrangements. And why not have some variety? As Daggerfall has not that much "original songs" like e.g. Skyrim it would be amazing to hear different styles of he same theme. Goodale, you and all the others, why shouldn't it be possible to implement them alltogether, and in one tavern the one is playing and in the house next to it the other one. Makes some ingame variety of that great songs, so after my opinion, I would love to hear more of your Daggerfall arrangements! :)
