Let's Get Aerith's Theme Into The Classic FM Hall Of Fame

FFVII by Colin

I'm almost certain everyone here enjoys the music of Final Fantasy – midi, synth, orchestrated or otherwise, so it's high time our favourite classics actually top the charts. The Classic FM Hall of Fame is taking votes for the best pieces of classical music and we're joining in by going with Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII.

Aerith's (or Aeris) Theme is a beautifully orchestrated piece scored by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu and has seen many an arrangement in a number of releases, including the original FFVII soundtrack, Crisis Core, Advent Children, Reunion Tracks, FFVII Piano Collections and as an additional vocal arrangement in RIKKI's Suteki Da Ne single, titled Pure Heart ~ Aerith's Theme.

The Classic FM Hall of Fame runs annually and selects 300 of the greatest classical music scored by amazing composers, including scores from films, but to our knowledge have yet to feature any music from video games.

Voting is simple, head on over to Classic FM Hall of Fame and cast your vote for Aerith's Theme alongside two more of your favourite video game classical music.

You can learn more about the campaign at its Facebook page. You can also follow them on Twitter at @ClassicVGMusic.

In support of the group, the Official Distant Worlds World Tour organization have discounted Aerith's Theme to just 50 cents. Have a listen in case you've somehow forgotten what it sounds like, in which case that's borderline blasphemy.
