Writing Music: This is Gallifrey
19:00
As anyone who has ever watched Dr Who has probably figured out by now, this week’s writing music
comes from the awesome soundtrack of the TV series, Dr Who. There are so many amazing pieces of music from this show,
from the ever famous theme, to the many, many songs specific to each episode.
It’s hard to choose just one to share, but I finally decided on This Is Gallifrey, Our Childhood, Our Home.
This is a strong, positive piece. It has an undercurrent of
tension and a sense of forward motion. At points, there is an almost triumphant
feeling to it. It feels like a climax, the turning of the tide. It would work
well for a sci-fi, a fantasy, or a dystopian, but it would work well for any
kind of book with action scenes in it.
What are you listening
to this week? Are you a Whovian? If so, which is your favourite Doctor? If not,
what is your favourite TV show? What music would you recommend I check out
next?

I love Doctor Who. My favourite is the 10th Doctor, followed closely by the 9th. But as for the music, though I love the music from the show, I find that I need complete silence in order to write. I can't even listen to music without words, because then I start thinking and dreaming about stuff and if the music is too lively I start dancing))
ReplyDelete10 is such a good Doctor. He's definitely one of my favourites. I can totally understand the need for silence. Music can be very distracting. Thank you for stopping by Farida!
DeleteI really like this song! Thanks for sharing. What other Doctor Who songs would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping to listen. Some other great Dr Who songs are The Doctor's Theme, and The Doctor Forever. And someone else in the comments suggested Clara's Theme as well.
DeleteI have never seen Doctor Who >_< I know, I know, it's bad. And is it even worse if I say that Matt Smith is the best Doctor, just because he's my friend's favourite?? I'm sorry aaaah.

There are so many good TV shows out there it's impossible to get to them all, isn't it? What's your favourite TV show? Or one of them. It's so hard to choose sometimes!
DeleteI adore the Doctor Who soundtracks. They're excellent. My favorite doctor is 10. ^ ^ 11 is a close second.

10 is so good, isn't he? I love him and Donna together. They're probably my favourite Doctor/Companion pair. Who's your favourite companion?
DeleteAmy and Rory forever.
DeleteThey were a pretty good companion pair for sure. Rory is such a darling. He's probably my favourite of Eleven's companions.
DeleteI adore 12! =D My favourite song is Clara's theme because I feel like it's me represented in music!
ReplyDeleteOh and It's Evie from commenting on your youtube videos :D
DeleteHi Evie! It's so nice to see you over here too! Twelve is a pretty awesome doctor. He's so different from all the other recent doctors in his personality. It's so refreshing. Ooh, that's a good piece! I should listen to it again soon.
DeletePartial to the 4th doctor myself. I have a replica scarf and tie to match. Hi Imogen, I discovered your blog while looking for info on the choir. It's Kristian :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kristian! This is a nice surprise! Ooh, the fourth doctor is a great choice. I've been slowly working my way through the old Dr Who episodes, but I haven't reached him yet. Looking forward to it though! Ooh, you have the scarf and tie? Those are so cool!
