The "Melody of Darkness", also known as "Sharp's Curse", is a song from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is a melody composed by the elder Composer Brother, Sharp. It is capable of sucking the life force out of all living things that are exposed to the tune. When conducting it, Sharp makes cutting motions with his baton, as if to signify inflicting pain of some sort. The song is in a minor key to symbolize darkness and danger. It seems to be played by a piano and theremin.
