This piece's melody line is done with a choir, something I am always a fan of. "Even with all our power, we can't do anything to change you back" - Alphonse Elric

I didn't even have to re-watch it to find the quote displayed above.įullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OST - Trisha's Lullaby The funeral scene was very heart wrenching but also probably one of the most memorable scene in the entire anime. It's played during the funeral for Brigadier General Maes Hughes and as such is a very definitive piece. If you haven't heard it yet, you should do so immediately. It doesn't need to be though as the melody alone is enough for it to make the list. Dynamics wise, it crescendos and diminuendos a few times but, other than that, it's nothing fancy. It reminds me of 'Adagio for Strings' in its tone and tempo.

The piece has a beautiful melody for the flute which plays over the string section for pretty much the entire piece. Starting off the top 5 is "Requiem for the Brigadier General", a piece that you should only listen to if you're really happy and want that to stop immediately. "We really are horrible creatures, aren't we?" - Roy Mustang Truly, Roy Mustang burning Lust to a crisp brings me immense joy.įullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OST - Requiem for the Brigadier General So I think one of the reasons this piece is so memorable (for me, at least), is a certain scene that it's played with. The piece finally ends with a short, sharp note. Then there's a drum keeping a steady beats as the violins come into prominence again. The roles then switch and the brass section gets a nice melody line. You get the brass coming in with those short, staccato triplets over legato violins which has a very nice effect. The piece itself is memorable and dramatic. As for why this piece was called 'Battle Scherzo', it seems a bit oxymoronic so, if any of you have any theories, do let me know. A scherzo would typically be the 2nd or 3rd movement of a symphony. Number 7 is 'Battle Scherzo', the word 'scherzo' loosely translating to mean a movement of light or playful manner. "You told me I couldn't kill you, but I'd like to try and prove you wrong!"- Roy Mustang But still, whenever I hear 'a heart made fullmetal' I feel this weird mix of really happy and really sad.Īnyway, I feel like this piece is another underrated one and I'd like to see it get more attention because it really is a great piece.įullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OST 2 - Battle Scherzo I do like to think that they have infinite adventutes off screen though and that makes me feel slightly better. It's kinda bitter sweet because it's such a happy moment but the anime is drawing to a close and we'll never get to see Ed and Al's adventures on screen again. The piece is played notably during Ed and Al's return home at the end of their journey. All of a sudden we have the same tune but with a modulation that changes the mood of the entire piece. 'The Fullmetal Alchemist' is quite a sorrowful sounding piece and so it's lovely and very symbolic for it to be used in this way. It begins with the warm sound of strings in a major key and then goes on to mirror 'The Fullmetal Alchemist' but transposed into that same major key. 'A New Journey' is nostalgia in a single piece.
