Under the World Tree (M-17) (Intermediate)-Seiji Yokoyama

A song from the movie The Heated Battle of the Gods. Where I live, these movies were hard to get at the time, so seeing it as a teenager was a real treat. Hyoga's surprise, Seiya wearing the Sagittarius Cloth once more, and the idea of mixing it all with Norse mythology: I loved all of it. And the emotion Seiji Yokoyama brings here is incredible.

I wanted this arrangement to keep the original's shape: one theme, stated five times, rising in key and tempo from a single quiet line to a full fortissimo climax, then resolving into a soft E major.

It is a 92-bar piece in 3/4 (about 3:30), with a light left hand at the start and octaves and chords in the loud sections. Watch the performance video to see if it suits your level.

I hope you enjoy listening, and playing it too!
