"Battle on the Horizon" is a theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land that plays in boss stages prior to the fights in the game and its remake. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Battle on the Horizon" is suspenseful and tense. It's simple in composition, as it only has two primary elements: a low ostinato revolving around a C (C, D-flat, B-flat, C) with percussion, and a slowly rising and then descending F-minor dominant seventh chord (D7) in the winds and strings, with each note's attack delayed and gradually increasing volume. The low ostinato somewhat resembles "VS Sphere Doomer" (and "VS. Meta Knight" by extension), and later becomes the intro of "Welcome Your New Overlord"; the dominant and registers carry over to "Blazing! Boss Battle".
