Since I love arranging so much, I recently started another project hoping to one day have a collection of nice arrangements for my portfolio (don't worry, I've been working on original stuff too, I'm not completely lazy :P).
I've wanted to do one from FFIX for a long time, I actually started a Melodies Of Life version, but sadly it fell through ¬_¬;
Buuuuuttt.... inspiration came to me in the form of a very simple piano tune from the game, one of my favourites!! Rose Of May is the piano imagining of General Beatrix's theme (for those of you who haven't yet had the joy of playing it), and I found it so sweet and pretty that I decided to orchestrate it. I've just done a small amount of it so far-

I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna go with it yet, but I'm quite pleased so far. Not sure yet whether to keep the nicey-nicey feel to it throughout, or go for a change a la the version of Beatrix's theme that appears in the big fight section with Steiner (I love how epic and swordsmen-like that music is ^^). Any suggestions on any part of it would be most welcome
