Incidental music to
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Part Two
Introduction  
A shortened version of the introduction to Part One, with the conflict between Aslan
and the Queen omitted.
Drip, drip, drip
The snow begins to melt. Aslan is there in the music, but can you spot where?
The Picnickers
A flower! And the snow continues to melt. You can hear the water rushing onwards by the
end. Have you spotted Aslan's theme yet?
Aslan presents the horn
Aslan's theme at its simplest.
Aslan appears
Aslan's horn calls ring around the theatre.
Aslan's Death and
Resurrection
First the Queen, with the shattering A minor chord from the Introduction. Then Aslan's
theme resplendent in full harmony.
The Final Battle
Built on an insistent rhythm on the Queen's note: Referring back to the F minor scales
in the Introduction.
First the Queen, menacing and brutal, surrounded by swirling A minor scales, again
referring back to Aslan in the Introduction. Eventually the music slows and Aslan's theme
is heard, first distantly and then gradually overwhelming the Queen.
As the climax builds, the speed of the music increases and the insistent F in the bass
slowly rises to the note A (=Aslan).
The Battle ends on a massive A major chord with Aslan victorious.
The Children return home
As the children return home to the Human world, Lucy's theme returns to end the play.
