Fantasia On the Dargason - Gustov Holst

This song to me is as catchy if not more catchy than what I picture Beasts of England to be. Sorry in advance, this recording is certainly not that great but it is the best one I could find.

The theme of the song is repeated 26 times (count them if you like). Just as the animals have to sing the same song over and over, the members of the band must play the same theme over and over. The song starts with the theme being played exactly the same (or close to exactly the same) over and over at the beginning. This shows how the animals were comfortable at the beginning of Animal Farm with singing a song that they believed in. (This is before the revolution.) The loudest repetition of the theme comes just before the theme is superimposed over Greensleeves. This loudest repetition can symbolize the revolution and the drastic change in the melody can symbolize the calm and comfort after the change in leadership. After Greensleeves, the theme is stated quietly which could represent the growing distrust of the pigs. But then.... the theme is loud again as Snowball allegedly destroys the windmill and the animals unite against a common foe. Once again, the  theme is stated softly as distrust grows again for pigs and it eventually grows to uproar as the animals (some of them) begin to realize how the pigs are taking advantage of them. The theme then is restated somewhat normally until the end of the piece which shows how the animals can easily forget the crimes made against them. That's what prosecutors are for, we try criminals and win!
