It has a time signature of 4/4 throughout the entire piece and is written in the key of D Minor. Like many field themes, "Sinister Sundown" lacks an introduction and conclusion, allowing for smooth transitions between loops. Each loop is thirty-six measures long. The instrumentation consists of violins, trombones, French horns, flutes, and cellos. The percussion section includes snare drum, timpani, tambourine, harp, piano, synthesizer, and xylophone. | ||
The piece is characterized by a persistent eighth note ostinato in the trombones in perfect fifth intervals and staccato xylophone and flute melodies, creating a bouncy and lively atmosphere for field combat. It consists of five four-measure phrases. The first phrase features the flute and xylophone melody, occurring for four measures and repeating itself, adding timpani. The second phrase consists of a call and answer between the flute and xylphone, and a horn divisi, adding snare upon the repeat. The third phrase reprises the melody from the first phrase, adding a countermelody in a lower flute register along with tambourine, repeating itself. The fourth phrase beings the second melody with a syncopated dotted quarter note rhythm. It is in this phrase that the chords change, shifting from Eb Major to C Minor to G Minor. The fifth phrase repeats the beginning notes of the second melody, but instead changes from Eb Major to F Minor to G Minor as the phrase concludes. | |||
