Anne (Part 1) Black Sails Musical Parallels | XV. XVI. XVIII. XXV. XXIX. XXXVI.

music breakdown note: the music in this parallel is made up of four different parts. The main parts are A and B, and the additional ones are C, E. (D is almost an overtone rather than a part, and sometimes plays underneath other main parts.)

All the scenes in this group have A, B The exceptions are the second scene in XV, as well as XXIX, which both play only B. The first scene in XV also has E and D.

music variation note: XXIX is in a lower key

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

Anne (Part 3) Black Sails Musical Parallels | XV. XXXV. XXXVI.
