music theme

Music is notably featured in the story. Typically, this is because there is a musician, other music professional, or someone else who is very interested in music.

Notes

As music is rather common in modern society, it is often present in unremarkable ways in the background of stories. It is generally not considered a theme just because a normal person briefly listens to music, or a radio is heard in the background. Nor is music automatically a theme when the story is told through song, such as in opera.

Examples

Captain Picard and Nella Daren made beautiful music together aboard the Enterprise-D in tng6x19 "Lessons".
