Specific Music Study: Batman (1989)

The Batman's soundtrack consists of mainly orchestral elements. However it uses more individual and spookier instruments such as a celeste. It is a piano-like instrument that creates high pitched chime suited for a gothic movies. Though this instrument is only used shortly in the piece(from 0.06 to 0.16), it could be used to create a more horrific sound meant for a more psychological antagonist.
Composed by Danny Elfman, who features minimalistic aspects in his compositions. He manages to create darker pieces of music mainly for Tim Burton films, such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Batman. At the beginning of the film, the composer manages to create a gothic yet heroic piece of music to suit Batman’s vigilante character, written in a minor key.
