Secret of Evermore is one of my favorite games of all time. Its soundtrack tried something different (and ambient) and kicked ass because of it.
Ah, The Secret of Evermore! Square's last great adventure RPG. Yeah sure, it wasn't as good as Mana or Illusion of Gaia, but it still kicked ass.
i really love the Oblivion theme; let me get that out of the way first. I had no idea that he scored so many different games; I wonder why some stand out more than others then. KOTR had really good music, and Evermore, but i don't really remember Guild wars or Morriwind.
oh well, you're better than him anyways Dale

Yeah, Soule has one helluva ear. As much as Oblivion irritated me as a game, I absolutely adored its melodies. Traversing Cyrodiil gave me a distinct Braveheart/Morrowind vibe.
Evermore works I think because of its lack of music; the vast majority of the game's soundtrack is rooted in environmental ambience, giving the game a decidedly earthy feel. The melodies only kick in when you're somewhere important, a cutscene ensues, or fighting a boss. Otherwise, you're listening to the wind whip through the caverns & sewers underneeth Gothica or you're hearing the buzz of mosquitos as you make your way through the jungles of Prehistoria.
Okay... Now I can't wait to get home a bust out my SoE ROM (I wish I still had my SNES).
