Music Of Caprica
The music of '' Caprica'' is a body of work credited to composer Bear McCreary. Background Bear McCreary, the composer for parent series '' Battlestar Galactica'', has been tasked to compose for the new series. Despite his critically acclaimed work on ''Battlestar'', McCreary was not initially considered for ''Caprica''. The producers preferred a completely new direction in order to emphasize the program as separate from its predecessor, however, they changed their minds after he showed that he could deliver something different. McCreary says: "It needed to be more intimate, more familiar, more classical, and pull away from the raw tribal energy that was in ''Battlestar''". However, some elements of the ''Battlestar'' score are used to hint at the future, sparingly at first with the potential to evolve further in that direction in future seasons, including the Adama family theme and the Colonial Anthem. McCreary's work on ''Caprica'' is almost entirely orchestral. As on ''Battlesta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ethnic Russian Music
Russian folk music specifically deals with the folk music traditions of the ethnic Russian people. Ethnic styles in the modern era The performance and promulgation of ethnic music in Russia has a long tradition. Initially it was intertwined with various forms of art music, however, in the late 19th century it began to take on a life of its own with the rise in popularity of folkloric ensembles, such as the folk choir movement led by Mitrofan Pyatnitsky and the Russian folk instrument movement pioneered by Vasily Andreyev. In Soviet Russia, folk music was categorized as being democratic (of the people) or proletarian (of the working class) as opposed to art music, which was often regarded as being bourgeois. After the revolution, along with proletarian "mass music" (music for the proletarian masses) it received significant support from the state. In Post World War II Russia, proletarian mass music however lost its appeal, whereas folkloric music continued to have a widespread sup ...

Music Of Battlestar Galactica (reimagined)
The music of the 2004 TV series Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series), ''Battlestar Galactica'' is a body of work largely credited to the composers Bear McCreary and Richard Gibbs. The music of ''Battlestar Galactica'' displays a variety of ethnic influences and generally does not conform to the "orchestral" style of many science fiction scores. The music of ''Battlestar Galactica'' makes use of the technique called "leitmotif". A leitmotif is a phrase or melodic cell that signifies a character, place, plot element, mood, idea, relationship or other specific part of the story. It is commonly used in modern film scoring as a device to mentally anchor certain parts of a film to the soundtrack. Of chief importance for a leitmotif is that it must be recognizable enough for a listener to latch onto while being flexible enough to undergo variation and development. However, the development of leitmotifs was not part of the composers' (Bear McCreary) original plan: Background When he bega ...
