MIDI Week Singles: "Dusk of a Northern Kingdom" - The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (PC)

 


"Dusk of a Northern Kingdom" from The Witcher: Enhanced Edition on Windows and Mac (2007)
Composer: Adam Skorupa
Album: The Witcher -Role Playing Game- Original Soundtrack
Label: CD Projekt RED
Publisher: CD Projekt, Atari
Developer: CD Projekt RED


What I like a lot about this piece is that it's a great snapshot of the world of The Continent and The Witcher series.  There are themes here that are present throughout the pieces that Adam Skorupa wrote for the soundtrack along with PaweÅ‚ Blaszczak, but it helps to make the world feel more cohesive than a solo stand-alone theme that you only hear at the beginning of the game.  With themes comprised of and dotted throughout "Peaceful Moments," "The Princess Striga," and "Do You Remember," (among others), you really get a feel for this world and its lore.

That's really it.  Great song that captures the essence of the first Witcher game that, at least I think, carries through through The Witcher III.
