![]() ![]() ![]() For the record, I am not dragging the composers here, because they did a beautiful job and created some great music for the show (if you want to check out the soundtrack, a few tracks I love are ‘The Burial’/’Merlin Buries Lancelot’ by Michal Pavlíček, ‘Merlin Lost’ by Rob Lane, ‘Farewell to Gwen’ by Rohan Stevenson, and any of the suites from the finales). ![]() Some shows have great music but a poor application of it. To convey my point, I will explore the use of music in the show, especially in the season 5 finale, ‘The Gift.’ I’m mostly interested in these three composers because they wrote a great deal of the music overall, and their music tracks are most important in terms of what I hope to convey here, which is that one of the best things about the Buffy orchestral score is how beautiful it sounds and how smartly it is utilized. Some of the most prominent composers include Christophe Beck, who was one of the main composers for season 2, the sole composer for seasons 3 and 4, and composer for one episode in season 5 and one in season 6 Thomas Wanker, who was the main composer for seasons 5 and 6 and Robert Duncan, who was one of the main composers for season 7 (a complete list of Buffy composers can be found here). Buffy had a lot of different composers, some of which would compose the soundtrack for a few of the episodes and some of which were the primary composer for entire seasons. One of the places where you can see how much care went into the production is the soundtrack. that you only notice after your fourth or fifth rewatch. There are a lot of ways in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an incredibly intelligent and well-crafted show, so much so that there are tiny details in the costumes, the acting, the set, etc. ![]()
