Edge of Darkness (soundtrack)

Okay kiddo, have you ever watched a movie and heard music in the background that helps tell the story and make it more exciting? Well, the music you hear is called a soundtrack!

Edge of Darkness is a movie that has a special soundtrack. It was created by a man named Howard Shore. He wrote the music specifically for the movie, just like you draw a picture for a specific purpose.

The Edge of Darkness soundtrack has a lot of different parts, just like a puzzle. Each part fits together to make the complete picture, which in this case is the music you hear while watching the movie.

Some parts of the soundtrack are fast and exciting, like when the characters are in a chase or a fight. Other parts are slow and sad, like when something bad happens to the characters.

Howard Shore used different instruments to make all the different parts of the soundtrack. He used things like violins, cellos, and trumpets to create different sounds for different emotions.

The soundtrack helps us understand what is happening in the movie even if the characters aren’t talking. Music can be really powerful and help us feel lots of different emotions, like excitement, sadness, or fear.

So next time you watch a movie, listen carefully to the music in the background and see if you can hear all the different parts of the soundtrack working together to make the movie even more special!
