"The Grand Finale" is a segment from the 1990 fantasy film Edward Scissorhands.

Background[]

The Grand Finale starts with an ominous harp pluck, which is then joined by upper strings. A celeste then starts playing a twee music-box-like melody (which represents a music box within the film). A female choir enter with hums and ‘oo’s’ which is doubled with the flute. The sparse string accompaniment underneath makes this piece incredibly haunting to begin with. There is a lot of dissonance at times within the voices, which again creates that fantastical atmosphere.[1]
