Anne (Part 1) Black Sails Musical Parallels | XV. XVI. XVIII. XXV. XXIX. XXXVI.

music breakdown note: the music in this parallel is made up of four different parts. The main parts are A and B, and the additional ones are C, E. (D is almost an overtone rather than a part, and sometimes plays underneath other main parts.)

All the scenes in this group have A, B The exceptions are the second scene in XV, as well as XXIX, which both play only B. The first scene in XV also has E and D.

music variation note: XXIX is in a lower key

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

XVIII 🌒 THE MOON   ✶ Commission for Drache ✶  

[idiotvirginpng]

[tarot-reader]

The silver moon hangs heavy — a lantern in the fog. Its light weaves shadows into secrets. Whispers of what hides beneath the surface. Tonight, the path feels uncertain, but in the unknown, magic waits. What illusions are you ready to unveil?

Charles Vane | Proper Pirate - AB (Part 3) Black Sails Musical Parallels | XI. XII. XV. XVIII.

music breakdown note: The music in this parallel is made up of parts A and B. Parts C and D are each a different extension of part A. E is a tease of A (only the first two notes of part A)

All the scenes in this group have A, B. Both scenes in XI also include C. The scene in XVIII goes B, A rather than A, B.

music variation note: The music for this parallel is played on the clavichord (or similar) for the first scene in XI, as well as XII and XVIII. In XVIII, the music is played very quietly and slightly in the background of other music. The second scene in XI is played on strings. The scene in XV is played on hurdy gurdy.

¿Compararte con un día de verano?

Eres aún más hermosa y tranquila:

Los botones de mayo son del viento tirano

Y el calor del verano pronto se desafila.

A veces el ojo del cielo encandila

Y otras pálido es su tinte dorado

Y efimera es la belleza para la pupila,

firme albedrío de casualidad y hado.

Pero no se atenua tu verano eterno

Ni pierdes posesión de tu belleza

Ni se ufana la muerte en su infierno

De haberte vencido en tu entereza.

Con cada aliento y mirada a estos versos

tu vida y belleza crecerán, eternos.
