" | "Sparkling Stars" is a short theme in C major. It is typically heard in high registers and almost never has a percussive bassline. It bases around four notes: a G, and then C (or A), D and E, forming a pentatonic, rapidly shifting from one note to another while gradually rising and falling in a wave-like fashion. Despite functioning as a jingle, the track usually loops indefinitely. | ||
