Hans Zimmer's legendary score in Pirates of the Caribbean is among the best in Hollywood, and the composer has explained some of the details that went into the themes. The documentary Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel dives into Zimmer's career, exploring his creative process and legacy in the world of movie-making.
The theme for Depp's character in Pirates of the Caribbean is simply called "Jack Sparrow," and it is technically a waltz in that it is in three-quarter time. However, rather than strictly following that one-two-three beat, Zimmer's "drunken waltz" melody plays out irregularly around that traditional rhythm. Additionally, periodic slides between notes occur inconsistently throughout the piece, giving the impression of slurred speech.
Hans Zimmer Added The "Devil's Fifth" To Convey Jack's Mischievousness "Jack Sparrow" Contains Several Disonant Chords To Hint At His "Naughty" Nature Zimmer frequently uses listeners' unconscious expectations against them in his songs, and it's especially effective in Pirates of the Caribbean.
The Key Changes For A Moment In Jack Sparrow's Pirates Of The Caribbean Theme For His Unpredictability Hans Zimmer Used Key Changes In Unexpected Ways To Reflect Jack's Character Jack's theme continues to switch back and forth between what Zimmer describes as the "optimistic" or "naughty" parts, but there is more to the character's identity in Pirates of the Caribbean than just this.
The man himself says in Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel, "It's not clever. It's just fun," demonstrating how Zimmer's own pure joy in his work allows his compositions to leave such an impact.
