Title:  Simon's Theme
Author: Peter Kasting (Zero|DPX)
        pkasting_ghs.com

Truly one of my best works.  This is an arrangement of the music from
Super Castlevania IV (for the SNES), Level 1 (also titled "Simon's
Theme").  It's one of the many wonderful Castlevania songs... someday I'm
going to find a real copy of Konami's "Dracula Battle Perfect Selection"
CD where they play a bunch of them live and be very happy.

...Anyway, to get back to the song, the beginning took an immense amount
of work (hours and hours for those first 8 seconds), but after that it
became a bit easier.  The song was written without referring to anyone
else's arrangment of the original or printed music in any way; I simply
fired up my emulator to that level, listened for a while, and then went
and composed.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

Unlike most of my songs, I don't feel this has any particularly weak
sections; the beginning is good, the ending is good, even the slow section
in the middle turned out well (after some false starts... don't use pitch
bend down on trumpet samples, it sounds like a dying cat).

The superiority of most of my video game music arrangments to my
from-scratch songs often makes me wonder if I'd do better to just arrange
others' work all the time... especially when people tell me "that sounds
like video game music" to all my normal stuff but NOT my arrangements of
actual video game music (argh).
