Composition
The original theme, set in C major, starts with the primary phrase of "The Noble Haltmann", but in double time and with adjusted note timings. Whereas the original and "Venturing into the Mechanized World", the other prominent rearrangement of "The Noble Haltmann" in Kirby: Planet Robobot, mutate the main phrase (to rise to G instead of ending the measure on D) on its second invocation, "Flight of Azure" only does this on the third invocation.
Followed by repetitions of the same phrase but modulating through keys (in the original arrangement of C minor) of G#, B, E (up through the first inversion of an inverted E triad), before re-modulating to C.
Game appearances
Planet Robobot: Flight of Azure (C) track #? Jukebox & OST
Memories (I'll Never Forget You) (F) expands on Flight of Azure with the inclusion of elements from "Venturing into the Mechanized World", as well as its own variation on the Haltmann motif.
Other appearances
The 12th and final track of The Sound of Kirby Café, "Café De Planet", is ostensibly mostly an arrangement of "The Noble Haltmann". However, for the middle third of the track, the arrangement mostly borrows elements from "Flight of Azure", including modulation of the primary phrase up through an inverted triad and the particular resolution of the primary phase. It is set in the same key of C as both The Noble Haltmann and Flight of Azure.
