"Grape Garden" is a theme composed by Hirokazu Ando for Kirby's Adventure.
Composition
Grape Garden is a generally low-energy track which plays in a 3/4 time signature. Its tempo, time signature, and composition are similar to that of the Rainbow Resort theme.
Game appearances
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The theme is used mostly in the level of the same name, although it can be heard in some stages of other levels.
Template:KCC KPP
An arrangement of the theme plays in Contrast Cave. It is slightly faster than the original, and is in a 4/4 time signature, instead of the original's 3/4.
When the "Old School" sound mode is selected, the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement plays in Tiny Town and Paletto Polis.
Template:KRtDL KAW
A gentle piano-focused arrangement of the theme, with some small additions and changes to the melody, plays in various stages of Nutty Noon and in the rest area of The Arena. It is named 雲の夢 (A Dream of Clouds) in Kirby Wii Music Selection and it is arranged by the original composer, Hirokazu Ando.[1]
Kirby: Triple Deluxe
The "A Dream of Clouds" arrangement from Template:KRtDL KAW is reused in Old Odyssey - Stage 7 EX. It can be found as track 73 in the game's Jukebox.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
A simple arrangement of the theme plays in the staff credits in the Theater. It is named "Pocket Diary" in the Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack and is arranged once again by the original composer, Hirokazu Ando. It can be found as track 159 in the game's Jukebox.
Other appearances
The original version of the track was included in the Hoshi no Kirby Yume no Izumi Monogatari soundtrack and in the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack.
An orchestral arrangement of the theme is featured on the album Kirby Wii Music Selection, as part of a medley in the track ボーナストラック：空の夢と、虹の泉で (Bonus Track: Dreaming of Skies at the Fountain of Rainbows).
The theme was performed live in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert as part of the Kirby's Adventure Medley. The same medley was later rearranged for Track 3: Sleeping Like a Baby of the Kirby Memorial Arrangements album.
A Japanese only DSiWare game, ほぼ日の健康手帳 (Hobo Ka no Kenkō Techō, roughly meaning Roughly Daily Health Notebook), has a unique arrangement of the theme that plays in the game's column screen.
Trivia
- In a Miiverse post about Kirby: Triple Deluxe's music, Hirokazu Ando described himself as being poor at naming songs, using "Grape Garden"'s Japanese name ("Kumo no men", literally "Cloud Stage") as an example.[2]
