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.
