"Capamari", named"Capamari's Theme" in the British English version, is a theme fromKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn associated with theboss with the same name. It was composed byTomoya Tomita.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Capamari" is an ominous theme in B Locrian mode. After opening with a percussive tremolo, it is characterized by a polyrhythmic texture, combining a low-pitched piano ostinato in 4/4 quavers, accompanying harp arpeggios and a sporadic melody played by high woodwinds such as a flute or oboe in various triplet formations, and the occasional bassoon remarks between beats, all dissonant in nature and full of accidentals. The first section ends with three loud chords, heard twice with a brief intermission. A trombone dramatically accentuates a descending B minor triad, resolved softly by a harp. The second section is similar to the first in structure but adds color by shifting to more sharp-filled harmonies. The melody slowly rises, and the percussive tremolo returns to make way for the climactic third section. Here, previously episodic instruments take the lead: with loud and dissonant brass chords coming in at irregular intervals, high strings lead the rhythmically smooth melody: a distorted version of the melody from "Deep-Dive Deep"'s tutti section. The brass eventually reaches its peak, and with final cymbal and gong crashes, the track loops.
