As a graduate in musical composition, I opened this page to bring some of my impressions on meaning and intention in the OST.
I use in this page the translated titles of the songs as a way to separate the musical meaning of the song from the song itself. Sometimes i will use this to talk about Leitmotif, a music tool to phrase and reference a song throughout a piece, song or a whole opera. I took the notations and annotations from this playlist:
Shadow of the Colossus - Piano collection
As it is a page for impression, discussion and personal opinions it mostly may not represent the whole community nor the original composer’s intent. Wherever there’s a yellow mark on the text are informations that I’m still not sure about or will come back later to verify. Links in yellow text lead to this same page
The songs are organised in order of the OST.
