Music Score
A compilation of musical compositions specifically written to accompany the action of a film. The music often helps to set the mood of a scene but it also reflects the emotion and character of an entire production. Music scores have been historically associated with this artistic genre since its inception. In the past, if theatres could afford an orchestra, they would perform in accompaniment to the action and the director's cue who often had to watch what was taking place on the screen as well as the music in front of her/him. In local towns, theatres often had a resident piano player who was responsible for performing the transcribed accompaniment. Now with stop watch in hand composers render music according to the dictates of the strict timing demanded by action sequences. Overtures or themes are the most original aspects as well as theme songs. As in the past, much of the music is canned and rearranged to fit the time frame/sequence.

Any scores left to settle?

Here it comes: "isolated music score: this refers to just the music score of a movie soundtrack, without any dialogue and without any sound effects (e.g., foley sound effects or otherwise)."

And the beat goes on.
