Cue of the Week: “Dawn in a New Land”

This week’s selection from the Dice Legacy soundtrack is the second of the “summer cues”, musical interludes for the sunny portion of the game’s weather cycle. This music is comparatively peaceful and bucolic. (In-game, the score becomes edgier if bad guys invade or civic unrest breaks out.)

Here a harp plucks a peaceful albeit asymmetrical rhythm (in 7/4 time, for you music nerds) while woodwinds trade solos over lush strings.
