▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[5 Centimeters Per Second]]'': Most of the music in the film is an arranged version of either
* ''[[Elfen Lied]]'': Arrangements of "Lilium" (the opening credit theme) are used frequently as background music, covering scenes with wide arrays of emotions such as sadness, nostalgia, serenity, suspense, and murder.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'': About half the tracks are remixes of one theme. Most of the other themes in the series get remixed a few times.
Line 14:
* ''[[Stratos 4]]'': A number of tracks, including one labeled "Mikaze's Theme" (for the lead main character), that all share a tune. At the last episode, this is revealed to be the tune of the second ending theme (which is used for the ends of whole seasons).
* ''[[Voices of a Distant Star]]'': In the soundtrack notes, Tenmon remarks that he essentially created the soundtrack by writing a "Theme A" and "Theme B", and then made variations on those two themes to provide appropriate background music for every scene.
* ''[[Weathering with You]]'': Many of the tracks are rearrangements of "Grand Escape", "Is There Still Anything Love Can Do?" or "We'll Be Alright".
== Film ==
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* ''[[The Fountain]]'''s score uses several variations of "Death is the Road to Awe."
* [[Paul McCartney]]'s soundtrack to the 1966 film ''The Family Way'' largely consists of variations on the main theme. It is lovely, though, to the extent that McCartney had it played as he walked down the aisle (the second time).
* Just about any [[Irving Berlin]] film, like ''[[Holiday Inn]]'' or ''[[White Christmas]]'', because by contract only his music could be used them. Consequently, the melodies of the various musical numbers will be found weaving in and out of the background music.
== Live Action TV ==
Line 83 ⟶ 85:
* ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'' remixes the Windy area theme to make the Barn Boys, Bats' Tower and Uga Buga theme.
* Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts' soundtrack is based on orchestral remixes of old melodies from the first two games.
* ''[[
** In addition, several other themes return in variant forms: {{spoiler|"Song of the Ancients"}} gets a dramatic [[Dark Reprise]] for the boss fight with {{spoiler|the Twins}}, "Kaine Salvation" returns as the lively "Kaine Escape", melancholy "Emil Sacrifice" becomes the [[Triumphant Reprise]] "Emil Karma", and "Shadowlord" shows up several times.
* The SNES version of ''[[SimCity]]'' used variations of a main theme for each stage of your city's development.
