At MAGFest 2020, composer Ben Emberley assembled an orchestra to perform something special. This orchestrated piece is called “The Creation of Hyrule,” and Emberley describes it as a “symphonic poem.” A trailer was launched on YouTube, with the full performance airing tomorrow.
‘‘In January, at MagFest, we assembled an orchestra together and performed a piece of music I wrote,” Emberley told us. “[It’s called] a ‘Symphonic Poem’ (a piece of music which tells a story), called ‘The Creation of Hyrule.’ The composition contains music from eight different Legend of Zelda soundtracks and 30 different tunes.
“This was the piece I showed to the producers of Symphony of the Goddesses to be contracted to work with them and co-write the Skyward Sword symphonic piece.”
The filmed performance will go live on YouTube tomorrow, May 23, at 5pm Eastern as a live watch party.
