H1 is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The full composition was unknown until the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu collection was released on 01 April 1994.
Usage and Variations
The arpeggiated harp that opens H1 is the first BGM in Dragon Ball, heard at the very beginning of episode 1, but the violin studio track is removed. Instead, the harp arpeggio overlaps with the dissonant strings and piano at the beginning of H4 (K-2).
The most substantial usage of H1 in Dragon Ball is the second and the last, in Dragon Ball Episode 22 as Namu thinks of his village while Goku and Giran eat. The track is cut short after the antecedent phrase of the flute melody.
Compositional Analysis
H1 is 8 bars in length. In the first bar, the harp arpeggiates an F Major chord in the first inversion while the violin sustains the fifth (A). The bassoon comes in on an internal root (F) at the second half of the bar. All of this accompaniment is sustained throughout the second bar, where the flute melody enters, accompanied by a short glockenspiel arpeggio.
The flute melody consists of a two-bar antecedent phrase and a two-bar consequent phrase followed by a two-bar transitional phrase leading to the climax and resolution at the final bar. The antecedent phrase is a one-bar motive over F Major tonality which is repeated over A minor in the second bar of the phrase. The consequent phrase is a developmental melody over D minor, resolving to B-flat Major. The transitional phrase moves from B-flat Major to the dominant (A Major); on the dominant, the harp articulates 1-2-3-5 (A-B-C♯-E) while the glockenspiel articulates 1-3-5-7 (A-C♯-E-G), and then the piece ends on the first instance of a root-position tonic (F Major) chord, with the harp again articulating 1-2-3-5 (F-G-A-C) in an extended arpeggio.
Identification
H1 is given the title "Morning" on kenisu's Magicant,[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions.
