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.
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
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.
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,.
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.
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?)
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 :( ]
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.
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.
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).
finally the 'correct' theme C of Tetris

@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.

@shadowlarkmoon yes that's right
it's a minuet of JS Bach a german composer of the 17th and 18th century
