HoMM 2 Price of Loyalty Warlock Town Theme - live performance

[BelgarathMTH]

The Heroes Orchestra finally performed the warlock town theme from HoMM2 Price of Loyalty. I've been wishing for a long time that they would do this one, as it's always been my favorite HoMM track. Paul Romero himself performs the piano part. Feel free to share your own favorite HoMM music.

"Und es denn die Posaunen schallen, und die Toten werden auferstehen, unverweslich. Und die Toten und wir werden auferstehen, unverweslich, und wir werden verwandelt werden."
(And then the trumpets sound, and the dead will rise incorruptible. And the dead and we will rise incorruptible, and we shall be transformed.")
Based on 2 Corinthians 15:52

Thanks for sharing! I still think MM VI tracks make me more nostalgic (probably because, unlike with MM games, I still play HoMM games these days so I can't feel nostalgia), especially Adventuring/Town Exploration 2.



As for HoMM, I'd pick the Fortress theme from HoMM III:

Yes, I wish the Heroes Orchestra would branch out into arranging and performing Might and Magic tracks. Maybe they will someday, since they're still actively arranging and performing. They've done the BG tavern music before, as well as Aerie's and Jaheira's romance themes, using chamber ensembles composed of musicians from the orchestra.

A new Interview with Paul Anthony Romero: GOG sat down with the maestro behind the unforgettable Heroes soundtracks. In the first episode, Paul shares his incredible musical journey, how he became the composer for the series, and the stories behind some of its most iconic themes.

The second part. Here is an interesting quote:

"I do find that technology makes it harder and harder for me when I get new libraries that are very complex. They have beautiful sounds, but it takes me a lot longer to become facile with them. And it kind of makes me... because in the old days with Heroes I, I could do a song within one or two days. Now, because there's so much technology and it gives me so much potential, it could take a month to do one song just because I can add so much more to it. So, I don't know that more is necessarily better, but it just means more, you know, that's what it's like.

"You guys work in this space, but now one day I give you a space that's a hundred times the size of the space, and now you have to get 100 times more furniture, more technology. Does it make your work better? That could make it better, but also sometimes you feel like, well, I'm happy just where I was. I like, I like using what I have right now. And so, but yeah, technology moves fast, and so in terms of technology, I always try to keep it in my mind: Does it make the music sound more natural and more beautiful? And if it does, then I'm happy with that."
