"Xuanyuan Sword Gold Commemorative Edition CD"
On April 24, 1998, Daewoo released a set of CDs to commemorate the launch of Xuanyuan Sword 1, 2 and its spin-off Maple Dance. "Xuanyuan Sword Gold Commemorative Edition" includes this Gold Commemorative Edition CD. This kind of CD basically contains a collection of classic music from Xuanyuan Sword 1, 2 and their spin-offs.
Introduction to the classic tracks of "Xuanyuan Sword Gold Commemorative Edition CD":
"Mo Zhe Benz", also known as "Shenzhou", is the most important and well-known song in the "Xuanyuan Sword" series The theme song "Shenzhou" appeared in the Xuanyuan series for the first time. Although "Shenzhou" in "Xuanyuan Sword 1" is expressed with only a few simple syllables, its future charm is vaguely visible. Through continuous improvement, it was finally achieved in the final glorious Xuanyuan Sword Golden Edition CD soundtrack in the FM era. The song "Shenzhou" has a beautiful melody, clear and exciting, and is soul-stirring. It has become an important part of the entire Xuanyuan series. If you listen carefully, you will find that the song "Mo Zhe Benz" has appeared in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations of Xuanyuan Sword.
"The Vast Heavens" comes from "Xuanyuan Sword 2". This song vividly expresses the weight and heaviness of history. When listening to it, a tragic emotion rises in my heart.
"Asura World" also comes from "Xuanyuan Sword 2". This song has become one of the best battle songs and has been rated by players as the best Xuanyuan battle song in the past.
"Endless History" is the theme song of "Xuanyuan Sword 2: Maple Dance".
Original soundtrack of "Xuanyuan Sword 2: Maple Dance"
Music CD included in the deluxe edition of "Xuanyuan Sword 4" in July 2002. The music CD was originally called "Yin Maple Dance" " is divided into two parts: "Yin Maple" and "Dancing Mo". It is the original soundtrack of "Xuanyuan Sword 2 Gaiden Dance of Maple" (the music of this game is specially reproduced) and "Xuanyuan Sword 4 Black Dragon Dances with Flying Clouds" Music collection. In order to reflect the development process of Xuanyuan Sword, I have specially split this music CD into two parts, including the original soundtrack of "Xuanyuan Sword 2 Gaiden: Maple Dance" and the original soundtrack of "Xuanyuan Sword 4: Black Dragon Dances and Flying Clouds" part.
The composition of "Xuanyuan Sword 2: Maple Dance" is very rich and atmospheric, with high emotions and clever melody, even to the point of being incredible. Dance of Maple has changed the music style of the previous generation that blindly pursued Chinese styles. In many places, you can even feel the shadow of Western symphonic music. The composition of the music is majestic. Later games rarely have music that can compete with it.
"Xuanyuan Sword 3 Beyond the Clouds and Mountains" Original Soundtrack
"Xuanyuan Sword 3 Beyond the Clouds and Mountains" is the first version of Xuanyuan Sword to switch from the DOS platform to the WINDOWS platform This work was also the beginning of the shift in music production from the traditional FM sound source era to the WAV sound source era. It was also at this time that the "Cat and Dog Orchestra" was invited to assist in sound production. Xuan San's production scene is grand, spanning the Eurasian continent, and the three parts of Europe, the Middle East and China have very different styles and unique flavors. It is precisely because of the uniqueness of the region that the map scenes are completely unusable. How to express three different styles of music is the most challenging thing for the new DOMO fur beasts. Wu Xinrui used a lot of orchestral music in the European part, and tried to add hymns and singing. In particular, "The Devil's Hymn" combined chorus and orchestral music for the first time. Although it was only a short section, it was the first domestic attempt at that time. The Middle Eastern part was originally planned to be realized with the unique instruments of the Middle East. However, due to technical and time constraints, orchestral production was still used. The final effect was surprisingly good. The music of the Xuanyuan Sword Golden Commemorative Edition is used in the Chinese part, giving veteran players an incomparable sense of intimacy. In terms of singles, the theme song "Sette" is performed in four ways. The flute version is fresh and natural, and the orchestral version is brilliant and atmospheric, each with its own artistic conception. The song "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" attempts to use pipa and orchestral ensemble for the first time, showing the grand, confident and clear momentum of the Tang Dynasty in its heyday.
Original music of "Xuanyuan Sword 3 Gaiden: Traces of the Sky"
If the previous Xuanyuan music is characterized by the unique music in different locations, this work focuses on the beautiful The melody changes over and over again. Although there have been many repeated variations of the theme song "Site" in the previous work "The Other Side of the Clouds and Mountains", as well as "A Moon in Chang'an" and "A Galloping Horse" with the same theme and different soundtracks, etc., due to Xuan San There is a lot of excellent music in it, but it doesn't leave a deep impression on people. However, in "The Traces of the Sky", many songs such as "Ru Meng Ling", "A Qiu's Flute Sound", "Dayanling" and other variations represented by "Ru Yi Yu'er Song" have been running through the game since the beginning. Throughout the game, a touch of sadness lingers around the player. Although the arrangement is not outstanding, the atmosphere rendering of "Hen of the Sky" is the best in the Xuanyuan series. Even the composer Mao Shou himself is often moved to tears during the arrangement.
In terms of singles, "Forever Three People's Time" and "Remembering Yu'er Song" are the best. Players who have played the game will definitely not forget the touching time on the back of the whale and Yu'er and Yu'er. The desolate scene of Jingqiu's life and death. This illustrates one point: the game environment is important, but live music is also essential to create an atmosphere. This approach of focusing on the rendering of momentum and atmosphere and deepening the listener's feelings through constant variations and repetitions of the theme melody has also become the style of the Xuanyuan series since then.
Original music of "Xuanyuan Sword 4: Black Dragon Dances and Flying Clouds"
In Xuanyuan Sword 4, Mao Shou tried the "grace" style of the Spring and Autumn Period, and learned from the "Maple" style of the previous generation. "Dance" selected a large number of soundtracks. However, these new songs sound like "boring". Except for "Great Qin Empire", which is magnificent and majestic and is the only highlight among many new songs, the other new music is extremely lackluster. Why is this happening? That's because the "grace music" in history was originally a formal and old-fashioned royal music used for formal occasions. It was precisely because it was old-fashioned and plain that it was eliminated by history. The ones that have been passed down to this day are all despised by the scholar-bureaucrats at that time. "Sexual pleasure", that is, a cheerful folk ditty. Because of this, the blind pursuit of the simple "grace" style led to the failure of Xuanyuan Jiansi's new music.
However, since the game inherits many excellent music from the previous Xuanyuan series, the overall music level of Xuanyuan Swordsman is not low.
Original music of "Xuanyuan Swordsman Collection Soundtrack Collection"
Daewoo Information's self-branded stand-alone game "Xuanyuan Swordsman" was launched during the summer vacation and received strong support from Xuanyuan fans. It also released exquisite Peripheral doll products are even more popular among the public; in response to the needs of Xuanyuan fans, a selected soundtrack album of "Xuanyuan Swordsmen" is released. The live performance of silk and bamboo that reproduces the true sound allows Xuanyuan fans to enjoy a more realistic music feast !
The total number of newly created songs this time is about fifty. However, due to the limitation of CD capacity, after careful selection, the total number of songs was selected forty-six, and additional ones were included. The dialogue was not used in the previous opening animation, adding more vivid colors to this soundtrack. In particular, the main melody Si Zhu Live performance recording is an important new attempt this time. Although some tracks have been discarded in this soundtrack, it is worth mentioning that we have made a small new attempt - that is Added the way real musicians play. In the past, game design used a lot of MIDI music synthesis and post-production. Although the music itself would have many changes and levels, the sound quality was always inferior to real instrument recordings. This time, the selected soundtrack album of "Xuanyuan Swordsman" boldly adopts the recording method of real musicians, because it insists that the music should be able to lead players to experience the adventure in the virtual world of ancient trees and thick forests, and the floating mist. Feel.
In addition, the selected soundtrack album of "Xuanyuan Swordsmen" also includes "Monologue", "Eternal Yearning", "Lu Chengxuan", "Qinglong Kingdom", "Xuanwu Kingdom", and "Yijian". "Ling Yun" and other tracks. These tracks were originally planned to be put into the game to accompany the players to experience it. However, due to the lack of production process and time, they could not be presented in the game. However, the selected soundtrack album of "Xuanyuan Swordsman" was released this time. , players will no longer miss the preciousness of these relics! At the same time, you can also experience the fresh and exciting feeling presented by using string instruments such as silk and bamboo in the style of new era trend music! In the future, the production team also predicts that more such live arrangement methods will be used in future "Xuanyuan Sword" soundtracks, so please stay tuned.
The Deluxe Edition of "Xuanyuan Sword 4" comes with additional music
"The Great Qin Empire" is magnificent and majestic; after the re-arrangement of "The Flow of Gods and Demons", the chime accompaniment is really amazing For the sounds of nature.
Original Soundtrack of "Xuanyuan Sword 4 Gaiden Cang Zhitao"
In the latest work "Cang Zhitao", DOMO abandoned the attempt of "grace" and continued the tradition of Zixuan Three established main melody repeating variations style. Zeng Zhihao continues to bring us tense and fierce battle new songs, while Mao Beast also brings us melodious new songs represented by "Millennium Destiny" and "The Sound of Bamboo Forest".
This battle song is remarkable and has a unique charm. However, the main theme of Cang Zhitao's big map is not as good as before. Although the atmosphere is still very good, the music itself lacks highlights and cannot be compared with the successful "Shenzhou" and "The Flow of Gods and Demons" in previous games. This has a lot to do with the fact that Mao Shou also takes on the heavy workload of screenwriting and composing music. Overall, there is little innovation in the music of this game, and there are not many outstanding features. However, it has a good inheritance from the music of the previous game, and its performance is average.
