"Drawcia Sorceress" is composed in the key of G♯ minor in a 12/8 time signature. This means each bar can be divided into four segments of three beats each. The actual song is preceded by a lengthy intro, about 48 seconds in length, which plays at a slow tempo and uses solely pipe organ to establish the main melodic ideas. When this segment ends, the pipe organ repeats itself at a much faster tempo with added drum and bass, which is the main looping part of the song.

This article is about the theme that plays during the final boss of Kirby: Canvas Curse. For the character with the same name, see Drawcia.

"Drawcia Sorceress" is a theme from Kirby: Canvas Curse. It is generally considered to be Drawcia's theme along with "Drawcia Soul".

Composition[edit]

Facing off against the sorceress herself.

"Drawcia Sorceress" is composed in the key of G♯ minor in a 12/8 time signature. This means each bar can be divided into four segments of three beats each. The actual song is preceded by a lengthy intro, about 48 seconds long, which plays at a slow tempo and uses solely pipe organ to establish the main melodic ideas. When this segment ends, the pipe organ repeats itself at a much faster tempo with added drum and bass, which is the main looping part of the song.

The same musical ideas from "Drawcia Sorceress" — playing the main pipe organ melody slowly at first, then repeating it faster with added instruments — would notably be reused with "Sullied Grace" from Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
