The Dress Theme

1M10 Ravissante

Rael Jones

In this video Rael explores the concept behind the Dress Theme, a transpositive theme used whenever Ada is reaching for something greater. A perfect example of this is in 1M10 Ravissante where the theme is used to score Ada’s first discovery of a Dior dress. We hear how the B-section uses a perpetual ascending scale, representing sense of longing or reaching.
