Flower Fields is the piece that plays in the stage with the same name. It is the most notable use of the main theme of Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake, sounding both at the title screen and in the end credits.
Composition
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.
Among some noatble differences in the other versions are the following:
- The version in the title screen has a second section similar to "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 lievlier 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.
