| Analysis: |
This cue features a series of dramatic progressions that modulate before reaching the tonic; most downbeats feature appoggiaturas as well; the two themes ("Dreams" and "Makes You Forget Your Troubles") are combined contrapuntally; "Dreams" is presented in a passage that features funereal timpani rolls; the cue ends with a sigh-like chromatic scale and a repeating E natural (reminiscent of the clock-ticking effect from earlier in the film) |
