Soundtrack is music created to accompany and enhance visual media such as film, television, and video games. It includes original scores (instrumental or vocal music composed specifically for the picture) and, at times, curated compilations of pre-existing songs. Stylistically, soundtrack is a meta-genre that can encompass orchestral symphonic writing, jazz, electronic and synth-driven textures, choral forces, popular song, and experimental sound design. Its defining trait is functional storytelling: themes, motifs, harmony, rhythm, and timbre are shaped by narrative needs, character psychology, pacing, and editing. Common features include leitmotifs for characters or ideas, modular cues that can be edited to picture, dynamic orchestration for dramatic range, and production approaches that sit well under dialogue and sound effects. Because it must synchronize to picture, soundtrack often uses clear dramatic arcs, tempo maps, and hit points.

Orchestral music refers to compositions written for an orchestra—a large ensemble typically built around a string section (violins, violas, cellos, double basses), complemented by woodwinds, brass, percussion, and often harp, keyboard, or other auxiliary instruments. A conductor coordinates the ensemble, shaping balance, phrasing, and expression. The style emphasizes coloristic timbre combinations, dynamic range from the softest pianissimo to explosive tuttis, and textures that can shift seamlessly between transparent chamber-like writing and monumental masses of sound. Orchestral writing underpins concert genres such as symphonies, overtures, and tone poems, as well as opera, ballet, and modern film and game scores. While orchestral writing evolved across centuries, its core craft centers on melody, counterpoint, harmony, register, and orchestration—the art of assigning musical ideas to instruments to achieve clarity, contrast, and narrative impact.

Classical music is the notated art-music tradition of Europe and its global descendants, characterized by durable forms, carefully codified harmony and counterpoint, and a literate score-based practice. The term “classical” can refer broadly to the entire Western art-music lineage from the Medieval era to today, not just the Classical period (c. 1750s–1820s). It privileges long-form structures (such as symphonies, sonatas, concertos, masses, and operas), functional or modal harmony, thematic development, and timbral nuance across ensembles ranging from solo instruments to full orchestras and choirs. Across centuries, the style evolved from chant and modal polyphony to tonal harmony, and later to post-tonal idioms, while maintaining a shared emphasis on written notation, performance practice, and craft.
