Kakariko Village from 8-Bit Music Theory's 7 Levels of Reharmonizations
Channel: 88bit
Date: 2020-07-22

Over the past year, I've had the great pleasure of meeting, and even doing a panel with, 8-Bit Music Theory. He has an incredible YouTube channel where he makes detailed but very accessible music theory videos about video game music.  

We talked about collaborating on a video together and we recently made this a reality for his video "The 7 Levels of Reharmonization" where he made 7 (well actually 8) different arrangements of the Kakariko Village theme from the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. 

In that video, I played all the piano examples live. So, here is a compilation of all the different arrangements from that video:

0:00 Kakariko Village Theme
0:40 Level 1: (simple substitution)
1:17 Level 2: (adding chromaticism)
1:55 Level 3: (relative minor)
2:33 Level 4a: (close key)
3:11 Level 4b: (close key)
3:43 Level 5: (distant key)
4:25 Level 6: (bar-by-bar)
5:09 Level 7: (voice leading)
5:49 8-Bit Music Theory Intro Theme
