Description
David Arnold and Michael Price - Dracula (Original Television Soundtrack)
From the team behind BBC’s critically acclaimed Sherlock comes Dracula, the reimagining of the
iconic titular vampire for a 21st Century audience. Composers David Arnold and Michael Price
reunite with writers and creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, to breathe musical life into
another famous literary character from Victorian times.
For Dracula, Arnold and Price conceived an innovative and petrifying score, in which traditional
instruments and musique concrète merge with contemporary use of samples and sound design.
Scoring Dracula presented its own challenges and the composers have augmented the sound of the
orchestra players by creating a library of sounds used throughout the score.
At the launch of the series at the BFI Southbank, David Arnold said “We created a bunch of quite
awful sounds that were musical, one of which was actual real blood in a glass, with the finger run
round the top of the rim... We created percussion things with coffins. The best thing was, I got the
sound department to send me all their recordings of screaming babies, and I made an organ out of
screaming babies.”
Also featured on the score are Cello soloists Tim Gill (London Sinfonietta Principal) and Caroline Dale
(Truly, Madly, Deeply, Hilary and Jackie) and Electric Cello from Peter Gregson. The atmospheric
music is perfectly complemented by the classical soprano Grace Davidson and jazz singer Sumudu
Jayatilaka.
Dracula is a Hartswood Films production, commissioned for BBC One by Charlotte Moore, Director
of BBC Content and Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, and is a co-production with Netflix.
Executive producers are Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films, Ben Irving
for the BBC, Larry Tanz and Carolyn Newman for Netflix.
Showing on BBC 1 on January 1st, 2nd and 3rd, the three 90 minute films star Claes Bang stars in the
role of Dracula with the cast including John Heffernan, Joanna Scanlan, Dolly Wells, Sacha Dhawan,
Jonathan Aris, Morfydd Clark Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Matthew Beard, Lydia West and Catherine
Schell. The series will premiere on BBC One in the UK and on Netflix outside of the UK and Ireland.
