Film Score

Film Scores are the music within a film, typically written by a composer or occasionally music compiled from previously written musical compositions. The purpose being to help create the mood in the scenes it accompanies. This is opposed to songs written by or licensed from typical recording artists. A film score is typically a composition for instruments (e.g. orchestra). However since the 1950's, a growing number of scores are electronic, or a combination of orchestral and electronic. Also many low budget films use digital samples to imitate the sound of real live instruments. AKA: Movie Score
