Desert Stage is one of few stage themes with a time signature of 3/4. The first beat of each bar is heavily accentuated by percussion. This track plays in mixolydian G major but is tonally unstable, with its different harmonies allowing for frequent modulations. This tonal instability and swaying nature give the track calm and mystical tone to it. | Desert Stage is one of few stage themes with a time signature of 3/4.

The melody's first phrase, played by a woodwind instrument, rises with dotted rhythm in the first bar while the rest of it descends in smoothly. The phrase repeats with alterations and is followed up by a minor strings segment with a similar melodic pattern. This segment is somewhat reminiscent of the [[Kirby Dance (theme)|Victory Dance]] music. The first segment repeats and concludes with a rising scale littered with accidentals. The middle portion is once again played by the strings, bow in A minor. This part prominently uses 3 note-long rising intonations. The phrase repeats with some variations, and the track loops. | The melody's first phrase, played by a woodwind instrument, rises with dotted rhythm in the first bar while the rest of it descends in smoothly.
