SPOILERS Music Analysis of "Aerith's Theme" from Final Fantasy 7

[Alec Weesner]

Hi everyone. I wanted to really take an in-depth look at the music surrounding Aerith's death and how the music captures that moment so well. The way Eumatsu removes certain instruments at certain times, his instrument selection, and lastly his unique style of composing create an incredible piece of music that I meticulously re-created and analyzed.

I hope you enjoy this look on one of Nobuo Uematsu's greatest!
