“So he created these melodies that became themes, and they suited individual ‘Peanuts’ characters perfectly.” Examples of this can be also heard in subsequent “Peanuts” specials, for characters like Peppermint Patty and Snoopy’s Red Baron persona. A musical theme that indicates the appearance of a character, group or moment is called a leitmotif.
