Melody Town (theme) Melody TownBlub-Blub Ocean Different versions of "Melody Town" Details Debut appearance Kirby's Epic Yarn (2010) Last appearance Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn (2019) Composer(s) Tomoya Tomita

"Melody Town", named "Theme from Melody Town" in the British English version, is the piece that plays in the stage with the same name in Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake. It was composed by Tomoya Tomita.

Composition

"Melody Town" can be seen as a version of "Flower Fields", as they have similar composition and melodic structure.

"Melody Town" plays in the key of A major in 12/8 (or 4/4 with permanent triplets), primarily by a piano. A brief intro sets the pace and tone for the composition. The melody is highly syncopated and revolves around the tonic triad, accompanied by simple intervals. In the second section the melody skips in fourths and fifths within an octave, ornamented by a large trill, and after it plays a second time an octave lower and suspends, the strings and a triangle join for a third section, which alternates solemn rising chords and playful descending seconds. The final piano section goes back and forth before returning to the original range. A longer version of the intro with the usage of a chromatic note plays, and the track loops.

Trivia

• The music for Melody Town was composed before the musical effects were added to the stage. As such, the harps and pianos play in the key of A major, much like the piece itself. Walking over the last keyboard in the stage plays the "Flower Fields" theme.
