This little project started as an idea of adapting Thrawn's theme from Rebels into something more heroic, something that one might hear in an adaptation of the Ascendancy Trilogy.
This train of thought eventually led me to a place where I realized: There is no Thrawn without Ar'alani.
The first part of this track is the penultimate motif of Thrawn's Web played on organ and violin, with a slight change into a brighter and more optimistic chord progression in the last measure.
The middle is Ar'alani's theme, which is my own composition. It utilizes the same base line as Thrawn's theme, but the melody itself is faster, crisper, more orderly. It is meant to evoke cold, sharp beauty rather than darkness and mystery. Here I borrowed the glockenspiel we can hear at the beginning of Thrawn's Web.
Finally the last part is where the two come together. This is not meant to be a love theme per se. I intended it to represent deep bond of friendship and trust between two warriors, how they are the both the only person alive who truly understands the other. Their themes are meant to compliment each other, both being beautiful on their own, but creating a fuller image when together.
I also whipped up a piano version if that is more your style, which I might eventually record on a proper piano:
I have vague plans of making a brighter, more innocent version titled Thrawn and Ziara, but I don't know when I'll get around to that.
If perchance you'd be interested in the piano sheet music, don't hesitate to DM me.
