Music of Chrono Trigger
The ''Chrono'' series is a video game franchise developed and published by Square Enix (formerly Square). It began in 1995 with the time travel role-playing video game ''Chrono Trigger'', which spawned two continuations, ''Radical Dreamers'' and ''Chrono Cross''. The music of ''Chrono Trigger'' was mainly composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, with a few tracks composed by regular ''Final Fantasy'' composer Nobuo Uematsu. The ''Chrono Trigger'' soundtrack has inspired four official album releases by Square Enix: a soundtrack album in released by NTT Publishing in 1995 and re-released in 2004, a greatest hits album published by DigiCube in 1999, published in abbreviated form by Tokyopop in 2001, and republished by Square Enix in 2005, an acid jazz arrangement album published and republished by NTT Publishing in 1995 and 2004, and a 2008 orchestral arranged album by Square Enix. Corresponding with the Nintendo DS release of the game, a reissued soundtrack was released in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CHRONO TRIGGER ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK )〕 An arranged album for ''Chrono Trigger'' and ''Chrono Cross'', entitled ''To Far Away Times'', was released in 2015 to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of ''Chrono Trigger''.
The original soundtrack has been hailed as one of the best video game soundtracks ever made, and the ''Original Sound Version'' album met with similar applause. The reception for the other albums has been mixed, with the releases finding both fans and detractors among reviewers. Songs from the soundtrack have been played at various orchestral concerts, such as the personal arrangements by Mitsuda for the ''Play! A Video Game Symphony'' concert series. ''Chrono Cross'' music has also been extensively remixed by fans, and such remixes have been included in both official and unofficial albums.
==Creation and development==
''Chrono Trigger'' was scored primarily by Yasunori Mitsuda, with assistance by veteran ''Final Fantasy'' composer Nobuo Uematsu. A sound programmer at the time, Mitsuda was unhappy with his pay and threatened to leave Square if he could not compose music.〔 ''Final Fantasy'' developer Hironobu Sakaguchi, one of the three designers for the upcoming ''Chrono Trigger'', suggested he score the game, remarking, "maybe your salary will go up."〔 Mitsuda reflected, "I wanted to create music that wouldn't fit into any established genre...music of an imaginary world. The game's director, Masato Kato, was my close friend, and so I'd always talk with him about the setting and the scene before going into writing."〔 Mitsuda has said that he was unsure of how to start, saying that he "must've tried to start writing the music 4 times" and that it took "a month and a half" before he knew how to compose the music for ''Chrono Trigger''.〔
Mitsuda slept in his studio several nights, and attributed certain songs, such as "To Far Away Times", to inspiring dreams.〔 He later attributed this song to an idea he was developing before ''Chrono Trigger'', reflecting that the song was made in dedication to "a certain person with whom I wanted to share a generation."〔 Mitsuda tried to use leitmotifs of the ''Chrono Trigger'' main theme to create a sense of consistency in the soundtrack.〔 He also suffered a hard drive crash that lost around forty in-progress tracks.〔 After Mitsuda contracted stomach ulcers, regular ''Final Fantasy'' series composer Nobuo Uematsu joined the project to compose ten songs and finish the score.〔 Mitsuda returned to watch the ending with the staff before the game's release, crying upon seeing the finished scene.〔 Mitsuda considers ''Chrono Trigger'' a landmark title which helped mature his talent.〔 While Mitsuda later held that the title piece was "rough around the edges," he maintains that it had "significant influence on my life as a composer."〔 At the time of the game's release, the number of tracks and sound effects was unprecedented, causing the soundtrack to span three discs in its 1995 commercial pressing.〔
