"Sullied Grace"[1] is a musical piece composed by Jun Ishikawa and serves as the first boss battle theme of Queen Sectonia in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
Composition
Sullied Grace consists of an intro followed by two main sections, separated by a bridge. Only the second section loops in-game.
The intro is a virtuosic phrase on a solo organ which rapidly changes tempo, starting at a slow pace and picking up in speed before slowing down again. It opens at a slow tempo around 60 BPM, speeding up to 90 BPM as the organ's notes rise, slowing back to 80 BPM as they fall, followed by rapid arpeggios until the final, drawn out note that descends to about 70 BPM. A short pause marks the end of the intro, transition into the first section.
The first section plays at 65 BPM for its duration, introducing a heavy drum section while the organ continues to be the primary instrument. It adds on to the ideas briefly introduced in the first section, elaborating on them somewhat before the organ and drums fall off to mark the bridge between the two sections.
In the bridge, an electric guitar is introduced playing the guitar playing a distinctive riff at 180 BPM. This is repeated a total of four times as the drums return, accompanied by bass, to accentuate the change in tone.
The second section remains at 180 BPM, and the organ opens similarly to as in the first section, simply at a higher tempo. The guitar plays the same riff from the bridge in changing pitch as the drums become more intense. Later into this section, the guitar takes over and flies loose into a solo, playing a series of arpeggios similar to the intro, accompanied by the organ. Eventually, the guitar sounds out a series of long notes in succession, cooling off a bit after the intense solo and leading into the final part. The organ returns to the virtuosic phrase from the intro after this, but without the tempo modulation, and with some small timing changes in the notes themselves. Finally, the organ plays a series of held chords while the bass plays some rising figures, followed by an electric piano playing a repeating series of notes. The track loops back to the start of this section.
