Golden Sun - Elemental Stars - Arrangement

Thanks a bunch to Jonathan for playing concertina on this arrangement! Golden Sun has a classic soundtrack that I haven't covered as much as I would have liked over the years. I've done arrangements of the Doom Dragon and Fusion Dragon themes which are a lot of fun but I haven't done any non boss themes until now. Elemental Stars is a relatively simple composition but has a nice ethereal vibe and makes good use of the orchestration options available to the Game Boy. The intro phrase uses repeated notes as a delay effect, and in this arrangement we've used two different concertinas playing at different dynamics levels to simulate the sound. Baritone concertina is also featured and covers some low notes and even matches the bottom pitch of the baritone saxophone. This was a fun acoustic arrangement to orchestrate and was kept pretty close to the original, mainly deciding which instruments to cover the parts in different manners.
