| A '''film score''' is a set of [[musical composition]]s written to accompany a [[film]]. Some films use [[popular music]] as the primary musical component, but an orchestral score is more often preferred. An orchestral score can be much more closely adapted to a film while popular music is most often based upon a strong and repetitive [[rhythm]] that is inflexible and cannot be easily adapted to a scene. Popular genres of music also tend to date quickly as styles rapidly evolve while orchestral music tends to age much more gracefully. Instead, popular music may be included for special occasions where more attention must be diverted to the music. In these cases, songs are usually not written specifically for the film (see [[soundtrack]]). | A '''film score''' is a set of [[musical composition]]s written to accompany a [[film]].
