Description
On-screen: The swami
Description: The theme for the Swami character is somber and slow, written for strings and harp; the yielding harmonies in his theme convey that he is a weak character
Analysis: This theme is in the Aeolian mode (with minor dominants), and features downward triadic planing, ending unresolved on a half cadence
