"A Trip to Alivel Mall" is a bright, cheery, and optimistic theme that is primarily in the key of C major. The theme starts with a bass that goes up and down from G to C. It does this twice before going to the main melody. The melody of the theme then plays a happy tune twice (with a different ending a second time) and then moves to the second portion of the theme, which is in the key of F. This portion introduces another instrument for the melody, which is a horn like instrument. The portion is a call and response one, with the horn calling and woodwind-like instruments responding. While the call and response portion is happening, the key smoothly transitions to Ab (A-flat) major. The third portion is shorter than the first and second portion. This portion plays the first part of the melody from the first portion but then ascends and ends in the home key, which ends the melody. After eight bars of instrumentation, the song transitions to the key of C, and the theme then loops. | |||

Composition
"A Trip to Alivel Mall" is a bright, cheery, and optimistic theme that is primarily in the key of C major. The theme starts with a bass that goes up and down from G to C. It does this twice before going to the main melody. The melody of the theme then plays a happy tune twice (with a different ending a second time) and then moves to the second portion of the theme, which is in the key of F. This portion introduces another instrument for the melody, which is a horn like instrument. The portion is a call and response one, with the horn calling and woodwind-like instruments responding. While the call and response portion is happening, the key smoothly transitions to Ab (A-flat) major. The third portion is shorter than the first and second portion. This portion plays the first part of the melody from the first portion but then ascends and ends in the home key, which ends the melody. After eight bars of instrumentation, the song transitions to the key of C, and the theme then loops.
