The Viva Piñata soundtrack has been released in various forms.
The '''Soundtrack''' for the ''[[Viva Piñata]]'' games was primarily composed by [[wikipedia:Grant_Kirkhope|Grant Kirkhope]] (with additional tracks by [[wikipedia:Steve_Burke_(composer)|Steve Burke]]) and has been released in many forms over the years, even receiving releases on vinyl.
 
[[wikipedia:Steve_Burke_(composer)|Steve Burke]] was the original composer for ''[[Viva Piñata]]'' and wrote many song that ended up getting scrapped. He rejoined towards the end of production to write 21 [[Romance|Romance Dance]] themes, some sound effects and to clean up the MIDI data of [[wikipedia:Grant_Kirkhope|Grant Kirkhope]]'s soundtrack so that it could be prepared for the orchestral recording sessions with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
 
[[Robin Beanland]] assisted with writing some [[Romance|Romance Dance]] themes for [[Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise]], but aside from the [[Pengum]]'s, it is unclear which ones he wrote.
 
[[David Wise]] was the sole composer for [[Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise|''Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise'']].

== Composition ==
 
=== Archetypes ===
The main soundtrack can be divided into 6 archetypes, each with different composition techniques that define their identity. These archetypes are [[garden]] day, [[garden]] night, [[Dessert Desert]] day, [[Dessert Desert]] night. [[Piñarctic]] day and [[Piñarctic]] night.
 
==== Garden ====
 
===== Garden Day =====
Garden day songs make heavy use of the Ionian (major) scale, with songs often having sections in either Lydian or Mixolydian. Sowing Seeds is the only song that doesn't use the Ionian scale, instead being completely Lydian. Every garden day song has a lead melody section played on a concert flute, as well as one with a B♭ clarinet.

Latest revision as of 07:46, 26 February 2026

The Soundtrack for the Viva Piñata games was primarily composed by Grant Kirkhope (with additional tracks by Steve Burke) and has been released in many forms over the years, even receiving releases on vinyl.

Steve Burke was the original composer for Viva Piñata and wrote many song that ended up getting scrapped. He rejoined towards the end of production to write 21 Romance Dance themes, some sound effects and to clean up the MIDI data of Grant Kirkhope's soundtrack so that it could be prepared for the orchestral recording sessions with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Robin Beanland assisted with writing some Romance Dance themes for Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, but aside from the Pengum's, it is unclear which ones he wrote.

David Wise was the sole composer for Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise.

Composition

Archetypes

The main soundtrack can be divided into 6 archetypes, each with different composition techniques that define their identity. These archetypes are garden day, garden night, Dessert Desert day, Dessert Desert night. Piñarctic day and Piñarctic night.

Garden

Garden Day

Garden day songs make heavy use of the Ionian (major) scale, with songs often having sections in either Lydian or Mixolydian. Sowing Seeds is the only song that doesn't use the Ionian scale, instead being completely Lydian. Every garden day song has a lead melody section played on a concert flute, as well as one with a B♭ clarinet.
