Power Ballad Meets Disney
- "Let It Go" functions as a straight-up power ballad inside a Disney film, blending Broadway and pop-rock energy.
- That hybrid arrangement helped it achieve unprecedented cultural impact for a Disney song.
Intro Sets Emotional Trajectory
- The intro cleverly shifts between F minor and A-flat major to set a sad-to-hopeful emotional arc.
- A B-flat minor resolving to B-flat major creates a brief bright moment that foreshadows the chorus.
Shimmering Piano And Color Tones
- Lopez's right-hand motif layers notes that create a sharp-4/major-7 color over the D-flat chord, adding tension and shimmer.
- High bells and glockenspiel textures also lift the intro's atmosphere.
