13 Mock-Up's from Final Fantasy VI by Nobuo Uematsu

I made these 13 mock-ups on 13 themes from Final Fantasy VI intending to use them to familiarize myself with the themes in preparation for writing a big variations piece based on them.  At first, I only intended to write variations on the "Returner's Theme" but it soon ballooned out of control as I noticed how many of the themes in the game are inter-related thematically and so I had to include more.  I am posting the themes here with PDF scores for your perusal in the order in which they appear in the game (but I group them according to theme groups that are most related to each other).  Also, here are the links to the original tracks on YouTube:

Omen 3 - This is the title screen version of Terra's Theme.
Terra's Theme - Terra is the main protagonist in the game.  A half magical being (esper) half human.  The empire takes advantage of her magical powers.
The Awakening - also based on Terra's Theme, this music plays when Terra awakens after getting her slave crown removed.
Disaster/Metamorphosis - this is also based on Terra's Theme.  It plays when there's a disaster and Terra transforms into her esper form.
Save Them!/Protect the Espers! - this is also based on Terra's Theme.  Plays during an escape sequence or when fighting the Empire's soldiers as they try to gain access to the espers.

Fight Theme

Troops March On - this is the first theme in the Empire's Theme group.  Plays when Kefka and his soldiers are marching towards Figaro Castle.
Martial Law - plays in town when the empire occupies it.
The Gestahl Empire - final theme in the Empire's Theme group.  Plays when the Imperial capitol of Vector is set on fire by the espers.

Kefka's Theme - Kefka is the evil antagonist who overthrows the emperor to gain ultimate power and lead the world into ruin.

Mt. Kolts

Returner's March - The Returner's are an organization that is trying to resist the evil empire and Kefka and Emperor Gestahl.

Magitec Factory - In the Imperial capitol of Vector, the empire has constructed a factory to create Magitec armor granting magic power to those wielding it.

To go to the thread where I wrote my own original music based on these themes go here:

I've added another theme to the bunch for a total of 9 themes I'm working with.
