Midna's Lament The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006) Composer: Toru Minegishi Arranged by: Zeynep Dili Performed by: Ryan Petersburg - Trumpet Jadzia Metcalf-Burton - Piano Grief and loss can be disorienting. The mood of “Midna’s Lament” is one of searching and searching, never quite getting close, and maybe never even fully understanding what was lost. The melody has call-and-response elements, but the responses come from far away as well as up close. The melody never resolves. While the harmonic progression itself is simple; the chords are not; there is not a single basic triad in this piece, and the most characteristic chords include the sixth and the ninth, which create a sense of open-ended, directionless motion. The instruments lose and find each other, but they will not find what it is that they lost.
