Sophie's Theme by John Williams is a piece of music composed for the 2016 film The BFG. It is approximately 44 measures long, written in the key of C major and A minor. The piece is a light and inspiring theme, perfect for the moment when the two main characters of the film, Sophie and The BFG, come together and begin their adventure. It starts slowly, with a steady beat and slowly builds to an uplifting and joyful melody. The piece is played on piano, strings, and flute, with a subtle but powerful brass section joining in at the climax. The piece conveys the hope and wonder of the magical journey the two take together, and its beauty will stay with you long after the movie ends.
