Scars of Time | Chrono Cross | WMGSO's Spring 2025 Full Orchestra Concert

Scars of Time, Garden of the Gods Chrono Cross (1999) By: Yasunori Mitsuda Arr. Anne Marie Porter Angelus Errare: “Where angels lose their way.” At the beginning of Chrono Cross, the protagonist Serge is suddenly swept through a dimensional rift in space-time, transporting him to an alternate universe, where love, sorrow, and FATE await him. “Scars of Time,” the opening title of the game, captures the mystery, excitement, and romance of starting a new and epic time-traveling adventure. As “Scars of Time” begins to play, the following poem appears onscreen: What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time. But for a certainty, back then We loved so many yet hated so much We hurt others and were hurt ourselves. Yet even then we ran like the wind Whilst our laughter echoed Under cerulean skies.. This arrangement consists of two songs from the game. The beginning features “Garden of the Gods,” which plays at the game’s start menu; then, the piece moves on to “Scars of Time,” the soundtrack for the opening cinematic.
