Tetris - Music C (Slow & Fast)

[AudioBetaDelta]

finally the 'correct' theme C of Tetris

[DobieMeltfire]

yup 1989 that my year.

[Takeshi357]

It's a cold winter evening, my parents are out of home, the living room is floodlighted, I'm 11 years old, sitting in front of the television, playing Tetris on the NES.

[kefka3]

there's dance of the sugar plumb faeries from the nutcracker sweet, the famous tetris song -everyone- knows that's a russian folk tune, the name escapes me, and this. this one kicks ASS

[TorKelRa]

@kefka3 Korobeinicki I believe it is.

[MegaZsolti]

the original 1 is called "French Suites"

[MegaZsolti]

@MegaZsolti i mean the bach minuet

[ikheugbizi]

i wish i could express how i feel.in the absence of that ,i'm nuts about this song.who ever composed it is just too much.

[rizzledinho]

only pros play with music C. high scores anyone?

[rizzledinho]

only pros play with  music C. high scores anyone?

[dustineilertsen]

Taken into consideration that these are 8-bit sounds from an archaic game console, I'd have to say that both the composer and the guy that formatted this melody to the NES should both be awarded a Grammy.

[xNovaDragonx]

Best Tetris theme, in my opinion. It's rather underrated.

[QueAwkwardNoises]

Bach. It's from a minuet by bach.

[boomc3]

This is pretty good! I like it! Please put thumbs up if you wish me happy birthday! 9/6/2002 Made 8/16/2010

[hymnal1]

no one remembers this theme because they werent serious tetris players... I almost lost a job because of this game,... when i wanted to destroy my last high score,.. this is the theme to have on,.

[razgirl67]

This was THEEEEEE BEST theme....ahhh....so glad someone posted this....thank you!!! Yep #3 was indeed the best one....Love it!

[shadowlarkmoon]

I dont get it man... why is it NO ONE remembers this. Even the people in my family failed to remember this theme and the played tetris so much it was like taking medicine vital for life.

[KamronFultz]

NOW THAT'S THE SOUND I REMEMBER!!!

[101Roselover]

@ w33nDK, what does Rehashan mean? I hope it doesn't mean anything bad.

[TheBlackChrisJericho]

Some of the best video game music ever.

[ZemonMAN]

Sound like megaman music.

[101Roselover]

I feel like I'm still playing this game and I like this song so much. They should make this Tetris for Nintendo Wii.

[w33nDK]

Rehashan?

[falconfira]

This is what i always played the game to

[Hallation]

I actually find this song really melancholy. Too many childhood Sundays spent playing this game, I guess.

[boomc3]

@Hallation Hey, IM 7 IM A KID! I RULE

[oceanvibe]

I used to love this song. Still great after all these years.

[galvatron6]

this sounds like it should be on metroid

[Doommaster1994]

It's written by the same guy who does the Metroid music.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Doommaster1994

"Hip" Tanaka.

[W00tPwnr]

sounds almost like a song that would be in paper mario

[crazyjosiah]

sounds like something Stewart Copeland would compose (Spyro)

[VitasVarnas]

God I wish someone would create a remix version of this one.

[IStoleVashsDonut]

reminds me of like...an opening to some 80s movie when theyre showing like the skyline of some city haha

[kurojin97]

i set a world record on this game 3 years ago......then my hard drive died on me T_T......and i am so sad now....

[MastaGambit]

lol @ people who're downvoting you simply cuz they think you're lying when they're truly jealous. :p

[kurojin97]

lol yea....it wasn't the highest score in the world, but it was really good

[zzyzx0788]

Yea i also used to switch off versions depending on mood. I'd listen to this one if i was feelin like relaxin a bit

[estoycraze]

i like the other 2 a much as this one all 3 abc are good

[kingsnake23]

Everytime I played Tetris, I always put music no. 3 on, this music is much better than the other two.

[AvsJoe]

What a classic. I always alternated between songs depending on my mood at the time, but this was always my vegging song, you know, when you just want to kill an entire afternoon playing Tetris (or is it just me?)

[platinum10000]

this is so good

[newtronian]

This is the best Tetris theme, forget A and B.

Anyone know what this song is based off of?

I know pretty much all the other Tetris songs are mostly Russian folk music, but I can't find what song this is related too [I just end up getting stuff related to the gameboy tetris C song :( ]

[RainMan34]

I would also love to know where this piece comes from or if it was a piece made specifically new for the tetris game. This was my favorite track from Tetris. This piece (lol at tetris puns) always sounded a bit like it would work perfectly as a fantasy theme from to an adventure game.

[shadowlarkmoon]

@newtronian I went and looked it up. This version of the game i considered the Official NES version.

Someone also posted that this version is from a Minuet by Bach. I'm looking into that right now.

[metalmaniaultimative]

@shadowlarkmoon yes that's right

it's a minuet of JS Bach a german composer of the 17th and 18th century

[freakguitar1]

@newtronian doesnt sonic have a similar theme?

[0vedi0]

@newtronian it's by Bach

[TrogdorRunner]

@newtronian Bach's Little Prelude in C Minor.

[sobx10]

yeah i always listened to music c, it made me think of the underwater level in donkey kong on my snes

[BaBBoiHighFee]

ive always like this one the most.

[xartepopx]

For some reason, this song reminds me to Kraftwerk o_O

[UrbanWarrior22]

i dunno about other people but this song makes me feel in a trance...weird...

[Spirit798]

Whoa, NES version of Tetris?

... ..

.. I love this theme ..

Way better than GB's Type C theme.

Although, then again, maybe not...

I love both.

[IamTheTimmy]

I love this song. So I made my own version of it and posted a video. dotkristian is right, the most underrated song in all of Tetris. and arbiter2004 just may be on to something... I didn't think Metroid until you said something about that.

[dotkristian]

This is the most underrated song in all of Tetris. Pure masterpiece.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@dotkristian

It is somehow the work of the music programmer behind this port of the game if it is not an adaptation of an existing classical work (a la the Game Boy Tetris A and C-type music selections).

[arbiter2004]

For some reason, this song reminds me of Metroid.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@arbiter2004

Well, Samus does appear playing double bass here.
