What if we return to the ruins of Skyhold in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the DAI main theme plays in minor key, what then?

OK so I didn't do minor key but this is a sketchup of a piano arrangement because I tried to do full instruments and I got too caught up in that and needed to pare it back to basics before actually orchestrating it.

Update: I'm depressed and yearning and I'm making it everybody else's problem.

To me, the really intimidating part of Solas’ theme song is that the game introduces it so slowly - first you only hear these thrumming, oppressive war drums (and you didn’t know why - why are there drums? Why??). When you fight the Saarebas, strings come in to lead the drums. 

Only when you start fighting the last boss of the game, do you finally hear Solas’ real, complete theme song. Something like a metaphor for hunting down the pieces to the mystery behind the character himself.

I put the three versions of the song together to make a version where one builds up into the next, the way it does in the game. 6-minute panic attack.

(For reference, here is what Solas has to say about the Blight, darkspawn and the Grey Wardens, all together.)

Reblogging this again for no reason whatsoever 🥰

Hearing Solas freak out about the Blight at great length is absolutely required studying for DA4. He doesn’t react like this about basically anything else in the game. I read a tweet somewhere that said there was “so much blight” in this game. What does he know?

Ya'll think I'm joking. Astarion can't carry a tune to save his life.
