Terraria - Overworld Day (Orchestral Arrangement)
Channel: pixeltea
Date: 2020-06-12

I wanted to make a Terraria cover to celebrate the release of the "Journey's End" update, which marks the end of Terraria's development after 9 crazy years! I've had a lot of good memories playing Terraria over the years, both alone and with friends. I started playing it way back in highschool, and I still play it today - in fact, me and a friend started a Terraria world together to play online during the pandemic since we can't see eachother in person!

What better song to cover than the iconic daytime overworld theme? I thought this song deserved a nice orchestral arrangement. I wanted the beginning crescendo to have a similar vibe to when an orchestra warms up and tunes their instruments at the start of a symphony! The first half of my arrangement is light and playful, and then it transitions into something more epic and cinematic. I wanted the background footage to match this transition, so I started out with gameplay from the first Terraria trailer from way back in 2011, and finished with gameplay from the latest Journey's End trailer! This game has certainly come a long way! I hope my arrangement will bring back the memories!
