New Arrangement: "Little Madra" from Golden Sun: The Lost Age (2002)

Arranger's Note:
"One of the earliest town themes in "The Lost Age", "Little Madra" is a very small, brittle track for a small and brittle town.
The original emphasizes a delicate and quick-lived pizzicato on the strings (which I have brought out a bit more here and extended), underneath slow-flowing melodies that are generally descending.
I decided to add a small spark of life to these melodies, incorporating some ornamentation that appears suitable to decorate these rather expressive themes. Akin to the 2-part melody at 0:38. I also added a 2nd melody to the previous passage at 0:20.
Otherwise, there is not too much to say here, except I included the addition of a dry xylophone to further enhance the brittleness of the opening pizzicato, as well as some more sustained instruments such as the triangle and celesta, to carry the music through a touch more without too much emptiness."
