'''"Flower Fields"''', named '''"Theme from Flower Fields"''' in the British English version, is the piece that plays in the [[Flower Fields|stage with the same name]]. It is the most notable use of the main theme of ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|its port]], sounding both at the title screen and in the end credits. | |||

In its primary appearance, "Flower Fields" is played in E major by a single piano; however, some of its remixes use different instruments and tonalities. The melody consists of | [[File:KEY Pendulum Kirby.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Kirby]] travels through fields of flowers.]] | ||
"Flower Fields" was written as the main theme of ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' and became the basis for several other pieces in the soundtrack.<ref>{{Cite|I then took the main theme I wrote—heard in Flower Fields—and gave it a slightly richer arrangement. That’s how Fountain Gardens came to be.|Tomoya Tomita|[https://www.heypoorplayer.com/2017/03/17/tomoya-tomita-interview/ Hey Poor Player interview]}}</ref> In its primary appearance, "Flower Fields" is played in E major by a single piano in 4/4; however, some of its remixes use different instruments and tonalities. The melody consists of a peaceful ascending tonic triad and a short cadence, first leading to the dominant, and then establishing the subdominant A major. The following section consists of rising fourths in C-sharp minor and its relative tonalities, eventually escalating to B major, the dominant of E major. The next part of the theme slowly ascends and is interrupted by a brief yet contrasting C and D Lydian major section, and after the ascending part repeats, the melody returns to the range of the initial triad and the track loops. | |||
The version used in the credits has generally richer harmonies and plays in F major. | Among some notable differences in the other versions are the following: | ||
*The version in the title screen has a second section similar to "[[Grass Land (theme from Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Grass Land]]" | |||
*"Toy Tracks" has a short introductory section. This version utilizes percussion and has a syncopated bass line. It plays in C major. | |||
*"Tube Town" utilizes electronic instruments. The second theme dominates here while the primary one plays quietly in G major. | |||
*"Outer Rings" plays in C major. It uses percussion and is livelier in character. | |||
*The version used in the credits has generally richer harmonies and plays in F major. Much like the title screen music, its slower middle section is reminiscent of other themes used in the game. | |||
