A perfect masterpiece, the original sound track from Genshin Impact during the boss
fight against La Signora is an amazing musical composition that keeps you at the edge of your
seat wanting more. Split into two parts, Chrysalis Suspirii and Saltatio Favillae, the song was
written by Yu-Peng Chen.

     Yu-Peng Chen is one of the most versatile and respected composers in the music industry
right now, according to imdb. His pieces for Genshin Impact often blends many different genres
together, such as classical and rock, and makes use of regional instruments from China and Japan with a modern twist. For example, he distorted a shamisen to create a very unique sound and used it in his music.

     As previously stated, the two pieces Chrysalis Suspirii and Saltatio Favillae are the battle
OST for La Signora. As a result, the songs reflect the character La Signora. Even without playing the game, the song is so well composed that the listener can tell the kind of person Signora is. In Chrysalis Suspirii, translated as Cocoon of Sighs, the song starts off by making use of deep bass and cellos to create a dark ominous effect, then adding on a unique bell sound with an interesting pattern to give off a cold vibe. You can feel the atmosphere grow colder and colder as you listen, making this an immersive experience. The added choirs give the song a dramatic turn as the song keeps progressing. The slow increase in volume continues to build intensity in the song until it reaches the peak. Sopranos start speaking to the altos creating a more intense air until it comes to
a soft ending.

     Picking up from the soft ending, the second part, Saltatio Favillae, starts off hard; going
from a beautiful soft but cold composition into an interesting hard rock and choir combination.
The atmosphere immediately turns from freezing cold to burning hot. The guitars start a chord progression that keeps going up and up while the bass ramps up in volume. In contrast, the choir continues to give elegance to the song.

     All in all, La Signora’s boss theme is an amazing composition that tells the entire story of
the character – simply put, a romantic who suffered loss and turns into the Crimson Witch of
Flames – in just a few minutes. I give the song a sold 9.5 out of 10 and those with interest can
find the songs on both Spotify and Youtube.
