Understanding the Leitmotif
Max Steiner, one of the great composers of the Golden Age of Hollywood, stated that ‘every character should have a theme’. He was talking, of course, about the leitmotif. But what IS a leitmotif?
Arnold Whitall, in Grove Music Online, summarises it well. He states that ““In its primary sense, a theme, or other coherent musical idea, clearly defined so as to retain its identity if modified on subsequent appearances, whose purpose is to represent or symbolize a person, object, place, idea, state of mind, supernatural force or any other ingredient in a dramatic work.”
We can immediately identify an example for some of the filmic elements that the leitmotif represents or symbolises. For a person, we have Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, for an object, we have The One Ring from The Lord of th...

Theme vs. Leitmotif

Disclaimer:
If some parts of this video look familiar to a few of you, that's because they were elements of a previous video that I took down.
I'm striving to do my very best in explaining everything in these videos, but in the few cases where I either don't explain myself well enough, am vague, or in some cases don't back up my claims with enough sources, I will remake the video so that it will make more sense.
If I happened to have taken down your favorite video, sit tight, chances are I'm in the middle of remaking it.
Thank you for your patience.
I'm still new at this!

What is a leitmotif in film music? Well, if you survey the filmography of composer John Williams, you’ll find countless leitmotifs and some of the greatest film music ever. Jaws, Jurassic Park, Superman, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind — movies that have iconic scores thanks to the use of the leitmotif. In this video, we’ll review the work of composers like Williams, Howard Shore, and Michael Giacchino who use the leitmotif in four distinct ways.
The leitmotif has its origins in opera and became most well-known in the work of Richard Wagner. Wagner built leitmotifs into his work to signify characters, locations, emotions and even ideas. In a way, the leitmotif is a shorthand for the audience, a way to directly associate music in storytelling. Naturally, film composers have embraced this same technique to enrich how stories can be told with sound just as much as images.
The first type of film music leitmotif is used to signify characters. In Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, composer John Williams relies heavily on the unforgettable shark leitmotif. In this case, the music stands in for the shark itself since we see very little of the monster until the end. And if you think a film music leitmotif needs to be complicated to work, remember that the Jaws theme is built on just two notes.
The second type of film music leitmotif is used to invoke setting. In The Lord of the Rings, composer Howard Shore imbues nearly all of the major locations of Middle Earth with it’s own musical leitmotif. From the light and lilting motif of The Shire to the foreboding horns of Mordor. In science fiction and fantasy films, these musical leitmotifs help situate the audience in unfamiliar worlds.
The third type of film music leitmotif is used to express an emotion. In Pixar’s Up, we have a rather heartbreaking use of the leitmotif. We run through Carl and Ellie’s life in an early montage with a motif that is first light and playful when they’re in love and then mournful when tragedy strikes.
The final type of film music leitmotif is used to follow the evolution of a character. Play the “Imperial March” and most people will immediately think of Darth Vader. When we first hear in the Star Wars films, this leitmotif suggests the evil power of Lord Vader. But, in The Phantom Menace, when we meet him as an innocent boy named Anakin, John Williams adds the faintest touch of the leitmotif to foreshadow his eventual transformation from the light to the dark side. And at the end of Return of the Jedi, as Vader lays dying, we hear a slow and final iteration of the leitmotif.

Max Steiner, one of the great composers of the Golden Age of Hollywood, stated that ‘every character should have a theme’. He was talking, of course, about the leitmotif. But what IS a leitmotif?
Arnold Whitall, in Grove Music Online, summarises it well. He states that ““In its primary sense, a theme, or other coherent musical idea, clearly defined so as to retain its identity if modified on subsequent appearances, whose purpose is to represent or symbolize a person, object, place, idea, state of mind, supernatural force or any other ingredient in a dramatic work.”
We can immediately identify an example for some of the filmic elements that the leitmotif represents or symbolises. For a person, we have Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, for an object, we have The One Ring from The Lord of the Rings, for a state of mind, we have the klaxon sounds from Kill Bill whenever Uma Therman's character becomes angry, and finally, for supernatural force, we have The Force, from Star Wars.
Let’s rewind for a moment. The leitmotif predates film, and we have to head back to the 19th century to examine arguably the most significant influence on the leitmotivic style of film composition: Richard Wagner. The Romantic German composer stated himself that ““The recurrence of melodic elements [creates the principle behind a] unified artistic form which stretches not merely over restricted parts of the drama but over the whole drama, linking it together”
Wagner championed the use of the leitmotif in his epic music dramas, especially the four part Ring Cycle, where he employed well over a hundred. Here’s an example of three of Wagner’s leitmotifs from the Ring Cycle, showing his diverse range of styles and mood that he encapsulated within the short musical cues. Here is the Nature leitmotif, which is a simplistic rising arpeggio.
Secondly, a Romantic love leitmotif, with dissonance and suspensions adding a sense of yearning and longing to the music. Finally, a heroic leitmotif for the character Siegfried, consisting of a fanfare-esque French horn melody.
Such was Wagner’s impressive use and championing of the leitmotif system of composition, that Max Steiner exclaimed that ‘If Wagner had lived in this century (meaning the 20th century), he would have been the world’s number one film composer”. This claim is widely disputed though, as the prospect of egotist Richard Wagner being told what to do by a film director does not sound too likely.
An early example of the use of leitmotivic scoring in film was Fritz Lang’s M from 1931. It has been described as a ‘wonderfully strange hybrid’ combining silent-film technique, a voice-over narration, and off-screen sound to heighten suspense. It is pre-existing music which is used as a leitmotif in M, with Edvard Grieg’s In The Hall Of The Mountain King being used to represent a murderer. Interestingly, this is a rare example of a diegetic leitmotif. The murderer whistles Grieg’s music. The leitmotif is heard IN the film world, not in the underscore like in most examples.
The leitmotif is crucial to the narrative, as it helps to identify and catch the murderer. In the following clips, you will see the murderer buying a balloon from a blind street vendor, to give to a little girl that he later kills. He whistles the leitmotif, which the blind balloon seller hears.
Later in the film, as everyone closes is on the murderer, the blind balloon seller hears the same whistling, and immediately links the music to the murder of the little girl. Therefore, the murderer was effectively caught by his own leitmotif!
One of the most powerful uses of the leitmotif is its transformative potential. In M, the whistling largely remained the same throughout the film, but when a leitmotif is altered or adapted to suit a particular circumstance, it really becomes an effective film music device.
John Williams, in the Star Wars series, provides us with a wonderful example of the transformative power of the leitmotif with the Imperial March, and this will be explored in more detail in another video. Likewise, the Harry Potter series takes a series of leitmotifs and develops them in line with character development.
Sticking with John Williams, there are certain films where the use of a leitmotif is crucial to the film’s plot itself. One example of this is Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which uses a five note leitmotif diegetically as a communication tool between scientists and an alien spaceship.
Finally, if you thought a five note leitmotif was short, one of the most famous leitmotifs in Hollywood history is from Jaws, again scored by the great John Williams.
Whilst not the only way to write film music, the leitmotif has proven again and again that it is an effective and efficient way of musically representing a wide range of characters, objects, and locations in film, and is a tool that composers return to on a regular basis.

If some parts of this video look familiar to a few of you, that's because they were elements of a previous video that I took down.
I'm striving to do my very best in explaining everything in these videos, but in the few cases where I either don't explain myself well enough, am vague, or in some cases don't back up my claims with enough sources, I will remake the video so that it will make more sense.
If I happened to have taken down your favorite video, sit tight, chances are I'm in the middle of remaking it.
Thank you for your patience.
I'm still new at this!
