Background and release

In 2021, Rolin Jones was appointed as creator, writer, and showrunner of the AMC television series Interview with the Vampire after AMC acquired the rights to Anne Rice's 18-book series The Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches . [3] Jones pitched the show as a "gothic love story" to his former The Exorcist collaborator Daniel Hart, whom Jones asked to score it. [2] [4] Hart described Jones as "one of the best people to work for". [2] Hart immediately accepted the request, appreciating Jones's interest in classical music, particularly modern experimental and contemporary classical music. [4] [5]

The first track, "Overture", was uploaded to the series' official Twitter account on October 1, 2022, a day before its premiere. [6] Milan Records released the soundtrack album for streaming and digital download twenty days later, and it was released on compact disc (CD) on March 3, 2023. [7] [8]

Conception and recording

Hart and Jones centered the score's style on the period in which the show's protagonists live, intending to reflect African-American contributions to the New Orleans music scene. [2] They discussed early 20th-century American classical musicians, including Florence Price, Aaron Copland, William Grant Still, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington, as well as Trent Reznor's and Atticus Ross's score for the 2020 film Mank. [4] [9] Following a discussion with Sam Reid about the importance of his character's singing, Jones asked Hart to compose a song for Lestat de Lioncourt, Reid's character. [4] [10] Hart said he avoided pressuring himself by choosing not to re-watch the 1994 film adaptation or listen to its score. [4]

Starting in March 2022, while he was recording the orchestral score for Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), Hart began working on the score for Interview with the Vampire. [11] [12] [5] He began before filming took place by writing the show's diegetic music, and he composed the non-diagetic music while watching the completed scenes. [4] [9] Most of the music was performed in Vienna by the 49-piece orchestra of Synchron Stage; [2] [9] [13] as well as studios in London and Los Angeles, [13] with Hart remotely attended recording session because composing for the rest of the season was concurrent. [4] [9] Hart composed the non-orchestral portion of the score at his home studio in Los Angeles; he was aided by a small chamber ensemble composed of Hart and his friends. [9]

Hart credited his background in playwriting, classical training, and experience scoring The Green Knight (2021) with helping him write character-driven music for the show. [2] [9] He composed a theme for each of the three main characters, based on the tone of their voices, so the music would be a part of their internal monologues. [9] For Louis de Pointe du Lac's theme, Hart focused on his moral struggle and melancholy temperament, mixing strings and wind instruments with piano melodies connecting him to his siblings. [9] Claudia's theme is rich with flowing, elegant, swaying melodies that are also dominated by strings and wind instruments. [9] Due to the character's origins in the Old World, Hart wrote Lestat's theme in a traditional classical manner and accompanied it with brass instruments to underline his violence. [9] For the character Nicolas de Lenfent, Lestat's former lover and a violinist, a violin is heard upon each appearance or mention. [9]

Composition

Interview with the Vampire (Original Television Series Soundtrack) contains 19 tracks; it opens with "Overture", [13] which Jones likened to overtures from early films and musicals. [4] Due to time constraints, in the track, Hart introduced only the score's three major themes; "The Drum Was My Heart," "Come to Me," and "In Throes of Increasing Wonder". [4] The second track, "Interview with the Orchestra", accompanies the series' opening title and sounds like an orchestra warming up. [14] It is followed by "The World is a Savage Garden"—a gloomy piece—and "Viens A Moi". [13] [15] "Viens A Moi" features an ostinato violin-and-cello melody. [4] "Permanent Exile" is a horror composition that is influenced by Wojciech Kilar's work in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), with a lot of extended technique, notably on the brass. [4] The sixth track, "The Drum Was My Heart", accompanies Louis' transformation into a vampire. [4] Hart considered "In Throes of Increasing Wonder" as Louis's and Lestat's "love theme"; he was inspired by the chemistry between Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid during their first-kiss scene. [4] Hart and Shruti Kumar composed "The Sun Gives Life to Everything But Us", [13] while "My Very Nature That of the Devil" is an "expressive" solo violin-and-piano duet. [15] "The Fantasy of Happiness" opens with bars of a music box tune that leads into a string-dominated composition. [15]

"Vicious", the soundtrack's longest track, and "Claudia" and "For a Young Violinist", are Hart's favorites. [2] [9] "Vicious" features a violin solo performed by Synchron Stage's concertmaster Damir Oraščanin. [16] According to Hart, the track's nearly-six-minute duration allowed him to "really develop something and expand it", and he felt he had "unlocked something related to the show and to the characters". [2] "Are We the Sum of Our Worst Moments" is a "playful" piano-and-celesta piece that is supported by light strings and woodwind, [15] while "Come to Me" is written for Louis from Lestat's point of view and includes a vocal performance from Sam Reid. [2] [4] "For a Young Violinist," a second music box melody used as diegetic music in the series, closes the soundtrack. [9] [15]

Reception

Critics praised the soundtrack, describing it as "operatic", [17] "swooning", [18] "haunting", [19] "elegant, ominous", [20] "absolutely gorgeous", [21] and "something out of Old Hollywood". [22] Comparing it with Elliot Goldenthal's score for the 1994 film adaptation, IFMCA critic Jonathan Broxton said Hart followed Goldenthal's strategy of turning the score into a celebration of "classical opulence" while not avoiding the bleak, brutal side of the story, occasionally engaging in "some harsh and challenging dissonances". [15] [23] Broxton later described the score as "outstanding" and named it one of the best television scores of 2022. He said Hart had presented a "fresh and invigorating" spin by demonstrating his talent for commanding a huge orchestra and writing appropriately thematic material. [15]

IndieWire 's Steve Greene named Interview with the Vampire (Original Television Series Soundtrack) the eighth-best television score of 2022, saying Hart provided "tragedy and romance" and could "tiptoe his way between something full and fierce and a haunting music-box feel". [17] Ben Bishop of Comic Book Resources called the music in the series "an essential character" due to the skill with which the series manages its diegetic and incidental music, the music is as significant to the characters as it is to viewers. He stated the series uses music "to create a story just as informed by music as the culture it shows on-screen". [14] Tony Sokol of Den of Geek wrote the score is "exciting enough to move transitioning street thug Louis to perform a soft-shoe duet, and classically-trained musician Lestat to put a boogie-woogie rhythm to a Bach figured bass". [24]

Additional music

The television series Interview with the Vampire also includes "Home Is Where You’re Happy", which was written by American criminal and musician Charles Manson, and appears the end of the episode "A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart". Vulture included the song in its list of the top-ten uses of existing pop music on television in 2022. [25] [26]
