Many of us associate fantasy films and series with a very specific sound of music: large symphony orchestras, lots of melodies, complex orchestrations.
But does this always apply to everything?
The aim of this lecture is to take a targeted look at the soundtrack behind the dialog and sound effects of swords and dragons and to train the ear to perceive more of the music than the obligatory “main theme” that is presented to us on a platter in the credits.
Because there is no “generic fantasy sound”. Different composers write different music for different projects. This lecture will look at these approaches and ask questions such as:
- What instruments were used?
- Are there themes and how are they structured?
- Which genres and genres were used?
