There's a "Main Theme" pleasantly introduced by "Prologue" that suggests
a hero motif after a red herring harmonica and guitar introduction. The piece
that will more likely stay with you though stems from "The Giant" himself.
This is an almost clichéd 'dum dum DAH' theme of pantomime proportions.
It no doubt mimics the beast's heavy footfalls, but moreover impresses with
its seeming cheekiness. Is this spoofery or not? Some of the later light
material seems to think so (e.g. "Members of the Club").
Neither grandly dramatic, nor romantically heartfelt, this music sits somewhere
in-between.
