Cue of the Week: The Forest
After last week's dark ordeal, I feel I owe you guys something lighter in spirit. Happily, the next selection from the Anthem series offers exactly this.
The Forest
In this cue we have a recasting of the central theme into a more playful, dancelike form. If you were to play connect-the-notes with the melody, you'd find it has the same contour as the more stately and (pardon the expression) anthemic version that appeared in earlier cues. But the meter, tempo, and instrumentation have all changed. This is a common technique composers use to provide both unity and variety within a score.
