<!--NOTICE: This is from Musique pour la tristesse de Xion. I'm using this as a reference here because the two pieces are similar. Copy/paste--In the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' version, the first fifteen measures of the piece are written in the key of G Minor and then transition into the key of Eb [E flat] Minor. The piece has a brief introduction of two measures, lasting around nine seconds, then leads into the repeated melodic section which lasts for twelve measures, and is followed by a transition into a new phrase that lasts for sixteen measures, before repeating back to the first phrase, allowing for smooth transitions between loops. Each loop is ____ measures long. | |||
In the piano collections version, the seventeen measures are in the key of C Minor. Beginning in measure eighteen the key switches to Ab [A flat] Major and lasts until measure thirty-two, then transitioning into the key of Gb [G flat] Major. The next section of the piano collections version contains a rendition of "[[Vector to the Heavens]]." Xion's original theme is revisited again though in measure sixty-eight and continues to till the end of the piece. This final appearance returns to the original key of C Minor.--> | |||
The piece is characterized by a moving sixteenth note pattern in the left hand (piano version) or moving eighth notes (in-game version). The main melody's rhythm is a variation of "[[Musique pour la tristesse de Xion]]", incorporating various parts of the theme into this piece. Several measures of this piece features the melody from Kairi's theme and [[Dearly Beloved]]. Unlike Xion's original theme, "Vector the Heavens" is played in the upper spectrum of dynamics, with the "louder" dynamics more in use than the softer ones. | |||
