Record of Ragnarok - Adan

Record of Ragnarok

Adam appears in the anime “Record of Ragnarok (Shuumatsu no Valkyrie)” as one of the representatives of humanity for this tremendous battle against the gods. Whose appearance in the arena of the coliseum is accompanied by a work that gives him great impotence, since it begins with a solid and forceful battery. and after a few bars the whole band enters the key of Bm:

| Bm - Em | A / C # | x4

Once the column is raised from where he is sitting (as in Michelangelo’s painting) and in turn many animals that are mentioned in the biblical paradise enter, the music changes to a motif characterized by using fifth chords:

| B5 - D5 C # 5 | G5 - F5 | B5 - C # 5 A5 | B5 | x2

Adam

Once the father of humanity is seen preparing to jump from the column into the arena, we hear a melody interpreted as a chant by Gregorian monks. this melody unfolds with a single chord:

| Bm | % | % | % | x2

These 2 sections are repeated to support the sequence of images that show us the public astonished by the presence of Adam and the expectant gods to which participant size will provide. To later show us a scene where he receives the forbidden apple, which is accompanied by a great guitar solo:

| G5 - F # 5 | B5 | D5 - C # 5 F # 5 | B5 |

| G5 - F # 5 | B5 | G5 | A5 - A # 5 |

Adam

Once the first man bites into the apple, the introductory music is resumed, while the announcer mentions the name of “Adam” thus closing a masterful entry of one of the characters who stole the hearts of everyone who has seen the anime.
