Musical Masterminds from ‘Bridgerton,’ ‘Queen’s Gambit,’ ‘The Crown’ and More Debate Challenges of Scoring (Video)

TheWrap Emmy Screening Series: Composers also joined from “Jupiter’s Legacy,” “Amend,” “High on the Hog” and “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet”

A group of composers from seven leading shows on Netflix debated the challenges of mapping a musical score to the tone and narrative of shows from “Bridgerton” to “The Crown” to “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet,” in a discussion led by TheWrap.

Aside from the steamy romance at the heart of Netflix’s Shonda Rhimes-produced Regency-era drama, “Bridgerton” is probably best known for its music, a very distinct mesh of classical songs by famous composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi and instrumental covers of modern-day pop tracks by the likes of Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish.

The man in charge of bridging the gap between these very different styles, and coming up with the original score that would bind them, was “Bridgerton” composer Kris Bowers.
