As with other field themes, "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship II-" has a brief introduction - this time of two measures. For the original Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep versions, the instrumentation includes: synthesizer, strings, drums, trumpet, oboe, orchestral bells, snare drum, and electronics. In the HD remake, the instrumentation is slightly different, now consisting of: synthesizer, strings, drums, oboe, soprano saxophone , orchestral bells, and electronics. | |||
The instrumentation includes: a complete strings section- violin, viola, cello, and string bass, flute, oboe, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, strings section, orchestral bells, snare drum, crash cymbals, and timpani. Compared to "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship I-" and "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship II-", the third variation of the "Blast Away!" theme is much darker in tone. The once cheerful, major key shared in the first and second versions are no more, as the melody in this version is played in a minor key. Although more ominous and intense in nature, this tone is befitting as this is the final Gummi Ship route in the game. --> | |||
