M201 is the Kanzenshuu catalogue number assigned to a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenlong. The film premiered at Tōei Manga Matsuri on 20 December 1986.
Overview
M201 is a very atypical composition among Shunsuke Kikuchi's Dragon Ball works. It is very loosely centered on C, the dominant of F Minor—the film's main key—but the piece is largely atonal and employs a composition technique known as serialism. The full composition is part a of the suite entitled "The Legend of Shenlong", which is track #2 on disc #5 of the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu.
K-201 is given the title "Legend Of The DragonBalls" on kenisu's Magicant,[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions.
Form
Kikuchi uses something very close to a strict Twelve-tone technique in the composition of M201. Not counting the two introductory bars (a Jaws-like motive resolving down to C), only one note repeats before all twelve tones are used. Two voices alternate in a canon at the tritone, the dissonant interval that divides an octave into perfect halves.
- Bass voice (dux): D♭-C-D-E♭-B-B♭-A
- Treble voice (comes): G-F♯-G♯-A-F-E-E♭
- Interval pattern: 1 (-½) 2 (+1) 3 (+½) 4 (-2) 5 (-½) 6 (-½) 7
The A in the treble voice is the first note that repeats, following the 10th unique tone (G♯). The A is followed by F, the 11th unique tone, and E is the 12th; then E♭ is another repeat. As standard in a canon, these two voices are identical; one of them is merely transposed up a tritone.
This pattern repeats four and a half times before the ending, which contains all the elements of C7, the dominant 7th chord in the key of F Minor, except for the unnecessary, "implied" 5th (G). The most prominent elements are the C and B♭ (1 and 7 in the C7 chord), but the third (E) can be heard in the background instruments, primarily violin and glockenspiel.
The ending of M201 indeed functions as a dominant leading into the title card music, M202, which is a "Mystical Adventure!" reference in F Minor.
