Circus Charlie (NES) - Stage 01
Please enjoy my performance of the Circus Charlie (NES) - Stage 01 Theme composed by an unknown composer.
Let's identify and examine the compositional techniques used in the Circus Charlie (NES) - Stage 01 Theme to enhance the gameplay and visuals!
Please refer to the following video http://youtu.be/ReT3iPU2i2g#t=3s and sheet music! http://www.videogamepianist.com/sheetmusic/circuscharlie_stage01.pdf
The left hand plays an eighth note pattern which helps establish a steady pulse that is easy for the player to follow. The game relies on precise pressing of buttons to complete the level. Having music with a steady beat enables the player to use the music to his or her advantage and associate moving visuals with the rhythm of the music. Hearing a steady beat may help with the player's nerves on timing the precise jumps, which happen to be equivalent to about 3 quarter notes.
The music evokes the fun and lighthearted atmosphere of a circus. The symmetrical phrases make the music easy to understand. There is a parallel antecedent and consequent. A four-bar extension confirms the key of D major. Also, the chromaticism adds a touch of humor.
Please enjoy my Super Mario Medley performance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFZki6TcY4w
