"Memoro de la Ŝtono" taken from the Distant Worlds concert album
Trouble with the audio sample?

"Memoro de la Ŝtono" (lit. "A Memory of the Stone") is a vocal section part of Final Fantasy XI's opening theme made famous by its performance during the "Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy" and "VOICES: Music from Final Fantasy" concerts. It features a choral arrangement with lyrics sung in Esperanto, an artificial language invented in 1887 by L. L. Zamenhof (1859–1917), a Polish physician and philologist, intended for international use, but never adopted, although it still persist to present day.

The tracks "Despair" and "Repression" shares the central melody with "Memoro de la Ŝtono".

The melody is also used in the track "Third Ode: Memoria de la Ŝtona" in the Chains of Promathia soundtrack.

Both live performances where conducted by Arnie Roth and were played as a medley along with the song "Distant Worlds".
