| − | ==Original Score==
| |
| − | Supernatural has two score composers. [[Christopher Lennertz]] and [[Jay Gruska]], brought in by executive producers [[Eric Kripke]] and [[Robert Singer]] respectively, who typically share the composing responsibility by alternating episodes throughout the season. While both have worked hard in creating and retaining a unified sound for the show, they nonetheless have their own distinct style.

| − | ====Lennertz Scoring====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lennertz seems to prefer a style of scoring for SPN similar to the Bernard Herrmann idea, focusing on the irrational by consisting of small dissonant repetitive pieces that rest on "unfulfilled" endings or just pure Jerry Goldsmith-stamped clangor. If you’ve ever found yourself on the edge of your seat in anticipation or just scared absolutely shitless, he’s probably the reason. He typically uses the strings more for the unsettling, scary action and turns to the piano keys for the creepy tension. He works with a lot of extended notes and swells along with a diverse set of percussion. Generally, his approach is very anti-melodic. His pieces are perfect for the visuals that accompany it, and its effect is incredibly embedded in the subconscious but they are very indistinct and therefore harder to recognize. I've done the best I could in identification below.

| − | ====Gruska Scoring====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Gruska, in comparison, has a much more melodic hand. He’s the one that helps give the show its big beating heart. While Lennertz tends to be more focused on the scare, Gruska tends to be more focused on the sentiment. I’ve personally grown more accustom to favoring his scoring because I like the balance he’s seemed to create between the two aspects. What struck me when I first started watching was the amount of actual emotion contained in the show, and how they could balance it in just being real instead of going over the line into the corn most shows would make it. I’ve found Gruska’s scores to be really integral in all the most important scenes, skilled in being just prominent enough to be effective while being careful enough not to be intrusive. It’s unconscious enough to let a viewer live in a scene alone, but when you are listening for it, you realize why that scene worked so well for you before. It truly LENT something to the scene. If you’ve developed a connection to these characters and their journey, most likely it’s because of Gruska’s score that has effected you along the way. Of course, because this IS Supernatural, he also plays the needed amount of creepy Lennertz favors so much. But generally, he's more willing to use strings and woodwinds (including some fabulous oboe uses) especially in terms of sentiment where Lennertz leans more on the lone piano keys. He’s also more likely to use an acoustic guitar (as opposed to Lennertz's electric) and less-commonly used folk instruments to make a much more rustic Midwestern sound for the show.

| − | | |
| − | ===Season 2===
| |
| − | By Season Two, the scoring had evolved into a much more integrated sound. Gruska could be heard using electric guitar melodies similar to those used by Lennertz in Silly Brothers Theme and the End Credits. Lennertz could now be heard turning to an acoustic guitar similar to Gruska's use in ''Scarecrow'' ([[1.11]]) and ''The Benders'' ([[1.15]]) to codify the Roadhouse and give the show a more Midwestern sound. Additionally, Lennertz's score was seen to have evolved in terms of timbre expansion with a more liberal use of strings, such as that heard in the Winchester Reunion in ''All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 2)'', and a willingness to implement woodwinds for such sweet-sounding scores as those heard in ''What Is And What Should Never Be'' ([[2.20]]) . Meanwhile, Gruska seemed to have not only experimented with different sounds but also could be heard establishing an increased musical presence, especially in the case of scene transition cues. Still, we saw patented Lennertz responsible for the exhilarating tension and suspense of the season, such as that seen in ''Nightshifter'' ([[2.12]]) and ''Born Under A Bad Sign'' ([[2.14]]), and classic Gruska in the emotionally-driven scenes of ''Heart'' ([[2.17]])and ''Croatoan'' ([[2.09]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | While overall, I tend to believe the consistency of the influential scoring in the second season had waned, it also contained some of the series most excellent standout moments, especially in the pieces written for 'Crossroad Blues', 'What Is and What Should Never Be', and 'All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 2)'
| |
| − | | |
| − | And perhaps the most noteworthy occasion of the Season Two scoring was hearing Gruska put his memorable melodic presence to work through the excellent usage of the [http://supernatural.oscillating.net/index.php?title=Music&action=submit#Gruska_Motifs Dean Family Dedication Theme]. This theme could be heard in emotional scenes throughout the season, possessing a strong sense of meaning and purpose, adding dimension to the scenes it accompanied, and overall pulling the season together from bookend to bookend.
| |

| − | ===Series Motifs===
| |
| − | '''Background on Motifs:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just as literature can possess reoccurring themes called motifs, so can strains of music within a score of a film or television show. The tradition of the use of motifs in film score is actually an old idea which was derived from the German composers who coined the phrase, <i>leitmotif</i> ('leading motif') and made the practice popular. While the precise term, 'leitmotif' was first to explain the work of von Weber (1786-1826), it was Wagner (1813-1888) who is most commonly associated with popularizing their usage. His operas, which early film composers would later look to for inspiration, made liberal use of these leitmotifs, and consequently became a large part of scoring film and television.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The most common use of a musical motif ties a particular melody to a character, which is repeated in reference to that character. More complex motifs which reference feelings or ideas can also occur. They function quite interestingly on a subconscious level for the viewer to recall the visual or visuals previously associated with melody.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Motifs on Supernatural:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because <i>Supernatural</i> has two composers, it is hard to keep up a truly consistent motif usage. Individually, each have introduced and used their own motifs for certain characters or ideas. It's debatable whether Gruska and Lennertz have been consciously willing to use the others motif for a specific instance a scene might relate to.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's hard to purely quantify what the meaning of a repeated melody on the show might be. Sometimes, it means nothing. Composers on television recycle bits of score all the time. But sometimes a melody will be reused, and has a direct connection with its first use. These are the motifs I've listed below. Motifs were named purely based on the common thread that all its instances contained.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Derivatives of a theme are also commonly used in film score, where a motif is taken and manipulated in a meaningful way. For instance, flattening out the notes of a melody can illustrate metaphorically the loss of the idea that that melody previously represented.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Different forms of a theme through the use of different timbres can also be meaningful. Trumpets can be victory. Woodwinds can be warmth and safety. Violins can be the voice of a specific character.
| |
| − | | |
| − | All of this is of course hinged on the word 'can'. We can't actually know whether or not the meaning is there intentionally. These notes below are simply sketches of what was presented. Infer or not as you wish. (But really, that's half the motif fun!)

| − | | |
| − | ANALYSIS:
| |
| − | This theme could be heard in emotional scenes throughout the season, possessing a strong sense of meaning and purpose, adding dimension to the scenes it accompanied, and overall pulling the season together from bookend to bookend. After first appearing in 'Devil's Trap' ([[1.22]]]) to accompany Dean's speech fears for the things he is willing to do for his family, it becomes the major musical theme of the season two premiere, 'In My Time of Dying' ([[2.01]]). In here, it is most notably paired with John and his silent decision to sacrifice himself to save Dean, suggesting his sacrifice was for Dean in response to everything Dean had given him and Sam over the years. Furthermore, its accompaniment to The Secret tells us of John's belief in Dean and power to watch over his family. As it is carried throughout the season, the theme references not only Dean's responsibility to keep Sam safe, but also the burden of The Secret, and marks Dean's weariness with this life, both in 'Croatoan' ([[2.09]]) and 'Playthings' ([[2.11]]). During Dean's Wish World in 'What Is', Lennertz quite brilliantly (whether intentional or not) references this theme in a flatten form of the theme's melody right as Dean realizes that the Sam in this world does not like or need him, and signifies the loss of that responsibility. Probably most memorable is its use at the end of 'All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 1)' ([[2.21]]), as Dean holds a stabbed Sam and watches him die in his arms. This use all at once invokes the whole season and all of Dean's dedication towards his family right before your eyes, helping the viewer to mourn with Dean his complete loss of the most important people in his life and subsequent loss of purpose.
