#DOFUS BOOK 1 MOVIE FULL#

First heard in full in “Julith”, Houzé uses pitch-bending trombones, tongue-fluttering brass and synths as a musical “calling card” to represent the evil and her music can be heard at various points throughout the score (e.g., “Julith est de retour”, “Julith est là”). Resolute statements in the horns of the 4-note motif first heard in “Prologue” also provide a nobility to sacrifice, a major theme of the film.Īlongside the repeated statements of happiness and friendship mentioned earlier, the music of the returning witch Julith appears. “Je serai toujours avec toi”, with its feelings of loss, and “Sacrifice”, which opens with the same sense of bereavement as “Je serai toujours avec toi”, offer some respite from the action scoring found later in the score. It is worth noting here that sadness as well as happiness is to be found in Dofus. “Le rêve de ma vie” is a soaring piece with the strings of the orchestra capturing the love and longing of friendships forged. In addition, one of the most beautiful and emotional parts of the score appears in this opening act of the film. Here, a joyous string melody oozes love and happiness as the friends head off on an innocent adventure, with a jaunty rhythm to enhance the warmth of the track. “En route pour le stade” is perhaps the pinnacle of the score in terms of the innocence of life for the friends.

The former track opens with a lovely flute passage and progresses to a light and jaunty melody, with pizzicato strings and playful woodwinds illustrating the friendship of Joris and his best friend, Lilotte (a humanoid dog). “Joris et Lilotte” and “Papycha” are excellent examples of the composer’s deft touch at creating a sense of innocence for these happier times. This opening 20 minutes or so mainly features the most reflective and lightest moments of the score when Joris and his friends are living their lives prior to the appearance of the witch. Presumably related to a backstory for the film, this opening track reflects the action scoring that doesn’t really appear in the opening third of the score. The cue finishes with a statement of a short heroic 4-note motif, again associated with the film’s action sequences. This bridging section of “Prologue” has a fantasy/magical feel courtesy of some subtle electronics and ethereal wordless voices before leading into the briefest of hints at the darker side of the score to come. Livre 1: Julith and propels most of the action scoring. The energy of the strings and the appearance of percussion as a strong rhythmic support, particularly for the middle section of this cue, is a common feature of Dofus. A catchy motif in the strings immediately gives pace to the score with an accompaniment of low woodwinds and brass adding a sense of menace. The album opens (“Prologue”) with a summary of a couple of musical ideas that are used at various points throughout the score. It’s clear that the composer is comfortable in this world because he has fashioned an exciting and impressive orchestral score full of magic and energy.
