The emotion of the characters
When most emotions remain unspoken, music is one of the best ways of instilling them in us. Behind every moment of sadness, doubt or intense joy, the characters are accompanied by soundtracks that help us understand them. Without even needing to explain it to us, we know what the character is feeling and we can empathise.
A sense of time and place
As well as giving us clues about the emotions of the characters, the choice of music to accompany the images is not insignificant. Depending on the genre, the rhythm or the origin of the music, these are all elements that situate us in time and space. Flamenco music reminds us of Spain, while a piece of electronic music is more often associated with a futuristic world.
If the 7th art occupies such an important place in our daily lives and even in our society, it’s thanks to its ability to take us to worlds far removed from our routine and reality. But cinema would be nothing without film music and the composers who accompany it, who with simple notes take us on a journey. Blended with the soft glow of flickering candle flames, this legendary music takes on an even more impressive dimension.
