Sentential composite
A sentential composite is a kind of grammatical theme defined and described in richards-2016. It can be split up into 2 phrases: the presentation and the departure.
In practice, you can think of it as a sentence without acceleration, making it feel more “tranquil” or “calm” than the standard sentence.
This form type is not commonly used in film music, though there are some prominent examples (below). (richards-2016 par.38)
