Song of Prayer
(Nobuo Uematsu)
Song of Prayer
by Nobuo Uematsu
“ Song of Prayer ” is a song composed by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by Masashi Hamauzu, featuring lyrics by scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, for Final Fantasy X. Composed in Dorian mode, it consists of a single melodic line reminiscent of Gregorian chant. In the game, the hymn serves as a transitional song and an indicator of religious importance or solemnity, though its lyrics don’t appear to have any meaning to the game’s characters.
