Spotlight: 3/8

As a dear cousin to the signature of 6/8, 3/8 is as worthy in its merits.

The point of all this is that this past week, The final installment of the Harry Potter films was released. As a die hard potter fan, I immediately took the opportunity to watch it on DVD as soon as the opportunity arose.

It makes me cry, time after time.

Any way, in honor of such a great master piece, and the ending of an era, I decided to do a spotlight on one of the most recognizable tunes of the past decade. Hedwig's theme characterizes everything that I love about music. It has great swells, enchanting dynamics, and great timing. And it is in 3/8!

As a note, the theme goes into 4/4 at about 1:40, and returns back into 3/8 at about 4:08.
