This song from Chrono Cross is just so beautiful that I was completely sapped for inspiration on it. I picked it because it was popular, and the melody was already arranged for a string instrument so it was easy to pour on the vibrato and get a good sound. However, since it already was a fantastic arrangement, it was a big challenge to try to think of ways I could make it sound better on the cello. My answer: I transposed it down one step and basically left it unchanged.
