Taking the already strong and evoking melodies created by Ito, Takayuki Hattori applies the magic of classical orchestration and takes them to new heights. Taking many of the main themes from the game, he forms "chapters" that weave the story together, and achieves perfect transitions between each melody that comprises the piece, telling the tale beautifully. Of a particularily worthy mention is the arrangement of "Mana's Mission" which includes a lead non-lyrical vocal that fits the piece perfectly with the feeling of the melody, and remains one of my favourite Seiken Densetsu tunes.
A curious note is the translation of the title sometimes being translated as "Put Your Thoughts to Music", or "Setting Feelings to Music" from the original "Omoi wa Shirabe ni Nosete".
