Friends and Miracles (Mother Series) - Spring 2023 Concert

Recording provided by Open Range Video and J-Tech Audio Visual. Audio mixed by Antonino d'Urzo.
Title: Friends and Miracles
Game: Mother Series
Composers: Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka
Arranger: Marin Chin
Featuring: Darby Brandenburg (Soprano)
“Friends and Miracles” adapts the iconic tune “Pollyanna,” which first appeared in the overworld theme of Mother, into a choral arrangement. The tune “Pollyanna” takes its name from a children’s book, referring to people who are optimistic against all odds. As you play through the three games in the Mother series, this theme pops up occasionally, supplying familiarity and hope as well as a reprieve from the darkness of the world. This culminates in a boat ride at the end of Mother 3 where you experience a major nostalgia trip as this song plays. This particular arrangement takes inspiration from the structure of the Michelle Heafy and DonutDrums collaboration cover, as well as Chrononomad’s arrangement. Now remastered by Marin Chin to give it a unique acapella twist, here is “Friends and Miracles”!

There were a few places where i thought she was about to flub or squeak, but she caught herself and recovered perfectly. Amazing skill and an amazing voice
