The Devil's Crush theme is probably my favorite 16-bit song, honestly.  It seems like there's more there than possible on the TG-16 hardware.  It's probably neck-and-neck with:

Street Fighter II - Ken's Theme

Otherwise:

F-Zero - Big Blue

Zelda Link to the Past - Great Fairy theme

Sonic Blast Man - Stage 1 (oddball pick, but I like it)

Actraiser - Fillmore

& the entire Actraiser 2 soundtrack.  It's amazing!

I actually learned how to play the Harvest Moon - Winter song on the piano a few years ago. Not sure if the person that was transcribing them ever did Fall though.

When the game was still somewhat new, I had taught myself how to play the Fall theme on a recorder. I haven't touched a recorder in years, I wonder if I can still do it.

Mines Aquatic Ambiance from Donkey Kong Country -SNES

Definitely surprised nobody has mentioned Lunar. Played it for Saturn, Gameboy advance, and my favorite would be the Playstation.

Any of the 16 bit Luna songs are nice and calm melodies to fall asleep to. Feels like lullabies to me. ^.^

I do believe the youtube link is for the gameboy version.

The following links aren't 16 bit (32 bit, I think - if somebody can confirm) but it does the Lunar story justice.
My favorites would be from the Lunar Silver Star Story - Playstation edition.

Intro:

Luna's Boat Song:

Athena's Song:

These melodies are a MUST HAVE for anybody's collection.
Don't believe the person who does Luna's voice has been very active since then. Which is a shame... such a beautiful voice, very talented.

Definetly this one:

Buy Something Will Ya from EarthBound

Great game, great music.

Great game, great music.

I actually really like that. At first, kind of reminds me of the Donkey Kong theme song. Thanks for sharing. =)

I have a playlist that I use when I'm studying that's all Orchestrated video game music. (If music has words, I can't concentrate on what I'm reading.) So I'm posting the Orchestral version that I have of this, rather than the original 16-bit version. But it's sooooo pretty.
