Erica’s Ocarina Experience: Spirit Flute
Posted on August 22 2011 by Erica Fernandez
It’s time for another Erica’s Ocarina Experience! It was very difficult to choose which song to play for this week’s Ocarina Experience. There was a tie, but in the end I chose the song from Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I actually wrote out multiple parts for this song for multiple instruments. This is the first one that isn’t played on an ocarina in the game, so it’s fun to see how it sounds. I have picked out the most similar and simple piece to share, and I hope you all enjoy it.
For those who don’t know this song, I have written out the main Spirit Flute part. In the game, Anjean entrusted the Spirit Flute to Tetra when she first arrived on the shores of the new land. It has been passed down for generations since then. There are a total of five songs to play in the game on the Spirit Flute, but the soundtrack is very fun. It’s definitely something I can play along with on my ocarina and feel at ease. The Spirit Flute is very similar to the pan flute, and is tied to the Greek god Pan. The Spirit Flute is most similar to a Siku, which is a traditional Andean panpipe. The Siku is originally from the Aymaras of Peru.
Here is the fingering chart for the song.
Yes, that is a DK t-shirt I’m wearing. The black shirt I wore for the Bolero of Fire was from Twilight Princess. Eventually, I will run out of Nintendo themed shirts. Eventually…
Please comment, and give a request for the next song!
