Charles Vane | Proper Pirate - A (Part 2) Black Sails Musical Parallels | XXXII. XXXIII. XXXIV. XXXVIII.
music breakdown note: The music in this parallel is made up of parts A and B. Parts C and D are each a different extension of part A. E is a tease of A (only the first two notes of part A)
All the scenes in this group have A. XXXIV also includes D, and XXXVIII also includes E.
music variation note: The music in the scene in XXXII is played on a woodwind (or similar). All three scenes in XXXIII and the scene in XXXVIII are on strings. The scene in XXXIV is on hurdy gurdy. The second scene in XXXIII is missing the first note of the theme. The third scene in XXXIII has a different harmony over the third note of the theme.

AB | A | B | C | D | E
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)
