Music of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series
The ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles'' video game series consists of ''Crystal Chronicles'', a spin-off of the main ''Final Fantasy'' series, its sequels ''My Life as a King'' and ''My Life as a Darklord'', and their spin-offs, ''Ring of Fates'', ''Echoes of Time'' and ''The Crystal Bearers''. ''Crystal Chronicles'', ''Ring of Fates'', and ''Echoes of Time'' have had released soundtrack albums to date, and ''Crystal Chronicles'' and ''Ring of Fates'' each have an associated single. Kumi Tanioka is the main composer for the series, having composed the three released soundtracks as well as the music for ''My Life as a King'' and ''My Life as a Darklord''. Hidenori Iwasaki is filling that role for ''The Crystal Bearers''. Nobuo Uematsu, the main composer for the regular ''Final Fantasy'' series, contributed one track to the ''Ring of Fates'' soundtrack. Yae and Donna Burke sang the Japanese and English versions of the theme song for ''Crystal Chronicles'', respectively, while Aiko sang the theme song for ''Ring of Fates''.
''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Original Soundtrack'' was released by Pony Canyon in 2003, as was its single, "Kaze no Ne", and a promotional album ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - A Musical Journey''. ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates Original Soundtrack'' and the double A-side "Hoshi no Nai Sekai"/"Yokogao" were released by Pony Canyon in 2007. The latest release is that of ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time Original Soundtrack'' by Square Enix in 2009. All the albums and the singles received generally positive reviews, although the ''Crystal Chronicles'' album was the most universally appreciated of the three soundtracks. Unlike the soundtracks to the numbered ''Final Fantasy'' games, no compositions from the ''Crystal Chronicles'' soundtracks have appeared in any compilation albums produced by Square Enix or any official ''Final Fantasy'' concerts. "Morning Sky", the opening theme for ''Crystal Chronicles'', was played in the first Games in Concert performance in Utrecht, Netherlands on November 26, 2006.
== Creation and influence ==
Kumi Tanioka has described the musical style for the soundtrack to ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles'' as being based on "ancient instruments".〔 She says that the idea came to her while looking at illustrations of the game world, which gave her the idea of making "world music", where the tracks would "not () limited to a single country or culture".〔 She also credits Hidenori Iwasaki, the synthesizer operator for the game, with doing "fantastic technical work" that brought her vision to life.〔 For the soundtrack to ''Ring of Fates'', Tanioka purposefully did not focus on "world music", instead focusing on "creating a new landscape containing the same atmosphere".〔 The piano performances in the ''Ring of Fates'' soundtrack were done by Kumi Tanioka. She did the performances herself rather than use an outside performer as most ''Final Fantasy'' soundtracks have done primarily because she "likes to play piano", and were done without any sheet music, as she preferred instead to improvise.〔 She took extensive piano lessons as a child, and lists piano and choral music as the biggest influences on her musical style. She also claims to have been influenced by music from a wide variety of cultures, such as Indonesian, Irish and Balinese music.〔 She will not be composing the soundtrack for ''The Crystal Bearers''; this role will be performed by Hidenori Iwasaki.〔
Tanioka has said that in composing the soundtrack for ''Echoes of Time'' she tried to "paint the world in an ethnic manner once again".〔 She has said that she tried throughout the soundtracks of the first four ''Crystal Chronicles'' games to "maintain a common atmosphere between each installment, () always introduce a new concept".〔 With ''Echoes of Time'' Tanioka wanted to go back to the "tribal" concept of the original ''Crystal Chronicles''. She has said in regards to the soundtrack that "instead of the traditional sound endemic to the specific areas, I wanted to use them as one flavor and blend many colors just like ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles''" and that many of the tracks she created would be "actually impossible to perform" in real life.〔
