DAY 1236) Dragon Quest IV - Battle Theme

Composer: Koichi Sugiyama

I think this is one people have been wanting me to post for a long time (it always shows up on “best vgm in odd time lists” and stuff and is always one of the first ones to come up in topics about this subject) but I just…never have yet?! For SOME REASON.

(0:00 - 0:39) 24 bars of 4/4

(0:39 - 0:57) [9/8, 9/8, 4/4, 5/8, 7/8, 7/8]x2

[loop]

Really cool mixed meter section at :39 obviously, I can imagine a few alt ways to write the barlines but this is what makes the most sense to me.

EDIT: Apparently the mixed meter part here is written as 9/8x3 + 2/4 + 7/8x2 on official sheet music so there you go!
