Film soundtracks have come a long way since their beginnings, when they were used to drown out the background noise of projectors in cinemas. Nowadays, however, filmmakers have understood their full potential. From setting the tone of a scene to announcing important moments, music in movies simply elevates the viewers’ experience.
Music plays a fundamental role in cinema, which is why Candlelight São Paulo has concerts paying tribute to the great hits of cinema with special concerts of Magic Soundtracks, Rings, Thrones and Dragons and much more. Whether it’s action, sci-fi, adventure, magic, drama or even video games, there’s sure to be an ideal concert for you to relive all the emotions of your favorite films.

How do great soundtracks help the narrative of films?
More than just a complement, music is an emotional language that connects the viewer to the plot. Each carefully inserted chord, melody or silence can reinforce the impact of a scene, convey the complexity of a character or amplify a crucial moment.
Imagine watching a suspense movie without the rising tones that precede a twist or an epic moment without the boom of an orchestra. Without music, something essential is lost. Soundtracks don’t just accompany films; they bring them to life, allowing viewers to become deeply involved in the narrative. That’s why today, concerts dedicated to soundtracks are gaining popularity – they allow you to relive the emotion and intensity of these stories without the need for images, just with the power of sound.
Close your eyes for a moment and listen to the music from your favorite scene. This melody has the power to transport you back to that magical moment. That’s where the beauty of soundtracks lies: they don’t just tell stories; they make us feel them again, even when the screen has been turned off.
A fun fact about movie soundtracks
To this day, the best-selling soundtrack album of all time is the Grammy Award-winning ‘Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album’, released in 1992.
The album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, which is understandable. After all, it was composed by Alan Silvestri and features the insane vocals of Whitney Houston herself. Some of her most famous songs are part of the movie’s soundtrack, including “I Will Always Love You” and “I Have Nothing”.
