==Composition==
==Composition==
"Air Ride: Magma Flows" is an energetic theme in A minor, 4/4. The intro section features a descending octave topped with a gong crash, then followed by a rapid xylophone passage. The first section begins with a descending glissando played by woodwinds and a xylophone and a piano bassline ascending by thirds. Its melody, played octaves apart by a clarinet and bassoon, begins with an ascending scale, and its second phrase consists of broken chords, which are interrupted by brass and a reiteration of the xylophone passage. This melody plays four times with different instruments and makes way for the second section, played by strings and consisting of dominant-tonic chords in A minor, C major and E minor (the triad's tonalities), and suspends on the dominant to B minor. The third section stays in this key and bears many similarities with the "[[Gourmet Race (theme)|Fountain of Dreams]]" theme, maintaining most of its instrumentation, melodic patterns, and rhythm. A high-pitched suspenseful final section ties it back to the first section, at which point the track loops.

"Air Ride: Magma Flows" (capitalized as "Air Ride: MAGMA FLOWS" in the Sound Test, and occasionally simply called "Magma Flows") is a theme created for Kirby Air Ride which also appeared in the Japanese version of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It can be heard in the race track of the same name, and was composed by Shogo Sakai.[1]

Composition[edit]

Racing in the Magma Flows.

"Air Ride: Magma Flows" is an energetic theme in A minor, 4/4. The intro section features a descending octave topped with a gong crash, then followed by a rapid xylophone passage. The first section begins with a descending glissando played by woodwinds and a xylophone and a piano bassline ascending by thirds. Its melody, played octaves apart by a clarinet and bassoon, begins with an ascending scale, and its second phrase consists of broken chords, which are interrupted by brass and a reiteration of the xylophone passage. This melody plays four times with different instruments and makes way for the second section, played by strings and consisting of dominant-tonic chords in A minor, C major and E minor (the triad's tonalities), and suspends on the dominant to B minor. The third section stays in this key and bears many similarities with the "Fountain of Dreams" theme, maintaining most of its instrumentation, melodic patterns, and rhythm. A high-pitched suspenseful final section ties it back to the first section, at which point the track loops.
