Play

Composer Dan Froelich Released 1992-??-?? Title Origin File Name

Play is a song from Epic Games' two Adventure Math games.

Title

The filename is play.am1 and, apart from am1, may have come directly from Froelich.

Composition

Froelich arranged using a mouse in Visual Composer (probably version 1.5 or later), and somebody optimized his files using ROL2MIDI (an early version).

The structure is:

1. section A in D major
   1. melody only
   2. bass
   3. arpeggio + drum intro
   4. snare echoes from now on
2. section B in D minor, bass drum only, bass changes instrument forever
3. section A in E major
4. section A in F♯ major
5. section C in F♯ major, drums rest temporarily
   1. bass one octave down, doubled by two detuned bells
   2. bass back up, bells come along
6. section B in F♯ minor
7. section A in E major
   1. bass ends at E as usual
   2. bass ends at C♯
   3. bass ends at C♯ again
   4. song slows down, bass ends back at E

The OPL rhythm mode instruments in order of appearance are:

1. MARIMBA1: melody of sections A and C, with chorus
2. OBOE1: initial bass
3. ?: arpeggio, with echo unless bell is playing
4. SNARE1
5. BDRUM1
6. HIHAT1
7. ?: section B, bass onwards
8. ?: bell with chorus
