Here's what Wikipedia said about the music composed for the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronocles series:

"The soundtrack to Crystal Chronicles was primarily composed by Kumi Tanioka, while music programmer and arranger Hidenori Iwasaki provided one additional piece of music. Tanioka has described the musical style for the soundtrack as being based on 'ancient instruments'. The soundtrack makes extensive use of many medieval and Renaissance musical instruments such as the recorder, the crumhorn and the lute, creating a distinctively rustic feel."
