General Information
Chrono Trigger Prerelease
Era: 65000000 B.C.
Music: Singing Mountain
Singing Mountain is by far the most interesting area of the Chrono Trigger Prerelease. If the name sounds familiar, it is because a song of the same name appears on the Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version; it was this location's theme. From what can be ascertained, Singing Mountain was a dungeon that was explored after the battle with Magus. It contained waterfalls on the outside, and lava rivers within; a cave served as its summit. Its purpose is unknown; it was overwritten by the Black Omen. It was presumably scrapped because there were already two other dungeons in 65000000 B.C. in development. It is believed that Singing Mountain was originally housed in the odd-looking mountain that appears on the 65000000 B.C. map east of the Tyrano Lair. It only appears in Chrono Trigger as the location name Chanting Mt.

Yasunori Mitsuda was asked about the song's original intent at Procyon-Studio; the question and response:

About the not-yet-recorded Chrono Trigger song "Singing Mountain", it's really too bad it didn't make it into the game. Was the song for an event at Death Mountain after Crono dies? Was it planned to insert the song when going to the mountain to revive Crono? Why was it rejected? It's a very good song (I'd really love to hear it with live instruments and vocals). Also, the prelude to Frog's Theme wasn't included, but it was on the CD. Why was it in the CD, but not in the game?
（光田本人より）あの曲を使うダンジョンがあったのですが、別にそのダンジョンが無くてもゲームの進行上何も問題ないということで、カットされたのです。なので、曲も必然的にカットされました（泣）。カエルのテーマについては前奏が入っていない方がイベント的に盛り上がる、ということで途中から始まりますが、ＣＤではせっかくですので前奏から入れておきました。
(From Mitsuda himself)
There was a dungeon where that song was used, but because the dungeon didn't contain much and there were no problems or anything that advanced the game, it was cut. So inevitably the song was cut with it (*sniffle*). About Frog's Theme, because the prelude was meant to rise up during an event, the song starts out partway through, but since we took great pains with the CD it started from the prelude there.
Thanks to JLukas for finding this and Arc Impulse for translating it.
