Theme music

Theme music refers to a distinct piece of music associated with a specific show, movie, or character, often played during the opening or closing credits. It serves to enhance the emotional experience and set the tone for the viewer, creating a recognizable identity for the work. For example, the iconic theme from “Star Wars” instantly evokes feelings related to the story's adventure and heroism. Theme music can also trigger memories and associations with the characters or narratives, making it a powerful tool in storytelling and entertainment.
