God the ending of this makes me tear up every time it’s just that good. Especially the very end of the queue. All the emotions of entire movie captured so perfectly in that one final gracious and melancholic ending. Thanks for this reduction it’s great!

I will never not tear up at this theme. It reminds me of growing up, waking up on Christmas to presents under the tree with my mother and sister and grandmother.

Great choice of breaking it down! Subbed. I only subscribed WITH notifications for 5 channels in total. This is one of them.

Great job! Perhaps you have also Reunion of Friends from 2nd movie which is quite similar but with alternated ending?

I'm just so disappointed the theme doesn't develop further after that first inversion chord, that needed more time for it was a moment of beauty, Feels cut off due to filming times.

Correction: the chord at m. 11 is C#7, not C#m7.

[@lavenderraiyn]

Love the analysis! Can I ask where you got the sheet music from? I´ve been looking everywhere

[@giodiperna3484]

Maybe Ben himself wrote it? Anyway, this channel will become huge with such contents... You just earned a a new sub! ❤️

[@LucasGilles]

On bar 11, isn't it C#7 instead of C#m7?

[@BenSmithFilm]

Yes, correct. It is a dominant seventh chord, not a minor one, my mistake.
