Shelly drives through the desert |
| Description: |
A soaring string countermelody (which becomes the Shelly 2 theme) is added to the oscillating music of Shelly's first theme as she drives through the desert, accented by piccolo and woodwind flourishes; this Traveling variant is optimistic and sunny in tone; when the car stops, the traveling music stops |

| Analysis: |
The Shelly 2 theme features gestures with an optimistic upward-reaching leap, which initially expands from a third to a fourth to a fifth; the cue also features irregularly-paced sequential modulations rising from D to Eb to F before switching unexpectedly to E major |
