I listened to many while I decided which to choose but waited until I found one that I could envision, which was intially, not actually the one your listening to as you read this. At first, I wanted to use another song in this collection called, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/game-music-concert-the-best-selection\/02+-+%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A3III+%E3%82%88%E3%82%8A%E3%80%80%E3%80%8C%E5%86%92%E9%99%BA%E8%80%85%E3%81%AE%E5%AE%BFIII+%E3%80%8D.mp3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/game-music-concert-the-best-selection\/02+-+%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A3III+%E3%82%88%E3%82%8A%E3%80%80%E3%80%8C%E5%86%92%E9%99%BA%E8%80%85%E3%81%AE%E5%AE%BFIII+%E3%80%8D.mp3\">Wizardry III &#8220;Adventurer&#8217;s Inn III<\/a>&#8221; &#8221; because it sounded so peaceful, magical, and like walking through the gardens on the grounds of an enchanted castle. As you can imagine, finding an image for ALL that was very difficult and none were just quite what I was imagining. But as I was listening to the collection and searching for my castle, &#8220;Dragon Quest IV &#8220;Minuet&#8221;&#8221; started to play, and I was suddenly transported to the front row of a beautiful ballet performance as the orchestra plays effortlessly. The ending specifically is where I see the image above, as the music gets quieter the dancers form their line and rest their hands as they freeze into a pose in waiting for the next song to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work, &#8220;The Ballet of Shadows&#8221;, is adapted from &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/game-music-concert-the-best-selection\/03+-+%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A8%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88IV+%E3%82%88%E3%82%8A%E3%80%80%E3%80%8C%E7%8E%8B%E5%AE%AE%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A1%E3%83%8C%E3%82%A8%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%80%8D.mp3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/game-music-concert-the-best-selection\/03+-+%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A8%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88IV+%E3%82%88%E3%82%8A%E3%80%80%E3%80%8C%E7%8E%8B%E5%AE%AE%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A1%E3%83%8C%E3%82%A8%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%80%8D.mp3\">Dragon Quest IV &#8220;Minuet&#8221;<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/ballerinas-dancing-on-stage-10708012\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/ballerinas-dancing-on-stage-10708012\/\">Ballerinas Dancing on Stage<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@fabricio-lira-942672\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@fabricio-lira-942672\/\">Fabr\u00edcio Lira<\/a>. &#8220;The Ballet of Shadows&#8221; is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\">CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> by Emily Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started this assignment by browsing many audio resources and stumbled across the Nintendo Complete Original Soundtracks on the Internet Archive.
