Memorable themes and melodies can become inextricably linked to the characters and events told, leaving an indelible imprint on the collective imagination.
Some soundtracks have become true icons, as beloved as the films themselves, and tribute concerts to these musical works continue to captivate audiences.

How do great soundtracks enrich the cinematic narrative?

Similarly, the magical and dreamy notes of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), with the delicate and enchanting Hedwig ‘s Theme, also by John Williams, transport viewers to a world of witchcraft and wonder, defining the atmosphere of the saga.
Other soundtracks celebrate the joy and vitality of cinema with equally memorable melodies. The bubbly music of La La Land (2016), composed by Justin Hurwitz, with tracks like City of Stars, is a modern and nostalgic homage to Hollywood musicals, combining rhythm and romance. Similarly, the iconic Rocky (1976) score by Bill Conti, with its famous Gonna Fly Now, conveys a motivating and hopeful energy, becoming a universal symbol of triumph and determination.
A curiosity about the soundtracks
During the production of Rocky (1976), composer Bill Conti had an extremely limited budget to record the soundtrack. Since he could not afford a large orchestra, he had to make do with just a few musicians and a lot of ingenuity. The famous song “Gonna Fly Now,” which accompanies Rocky’s iconic training scene and the run up the Philadelphia steps, was recorded in a hurry, but it managed to perfectly capture the film’s spirit of determination and revenge.
