Send us a textJoin Vicky and Rithik on the Tompkins Orchestras Podcast as they welcome junior violinist Melinda and sophomore violist Yuna to discuss TV show scores. Inspired by the Emmys, this episode explores the powerful impact of music on our favorite series.The quartet dives into diverse scores, from the iconic cello work in Wednesday by Danny Elfman to the K-pop hit "Love Maybe" by Melomance from Business Proposal. They explore the "impending" and tone-setting music of shows like Severance and the acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, praising how scores can shape an entire narrative. Sitcoms like Young Sheldon and The Office are discussed for their comedic timing and memorable themes, alongside adrenaline-pumping music in Invincible and the evolving themes of Attack on Titan. The conversation also highlights the narrative power of music in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Bluey, and the "insanely good" score of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Lyrical songs like Imagine Dragons' "Enemy" from Arcane and the grand theme of Game of Thrones are also celebrated for carrying their respective series.Initially lamenting the perceived lack of Emmy recognition for scores, the hosts soon discover their mistake, leading to a humorous realization about the actual music categories and shaping the episode's title: "The One Where the Hosts Got it Wrong". Tune in to hear why music is considered "half of what makes it so good" and how it truly deserves its accolades.Support the showFollow us on Insta @tompkinsorchestras
