Based on novels by Leigh Bardugo, the show combines elements of magic, horror, war, crime and romance in a setting that resembles 19th-century Russia. Fans know this as the Grishaverse — the name is derived from the world’s elite sect of magicians — and Trapanese’s music helps to guide viewers through the many characters and their complex relationships.
By the time shooting wrapped in February 2020, Trapanese had already come up with 45 minutes of, as he puts it, “themes, textures and sounds,” based solely on reading the scripts and the books that inspired them. He chose a violin for Alina, “an intimate, raspy sound that, as she discovers and hones this tremendous power, is transformed into this more mature, developed, refined kind of playing.” For Kirigan, it’s the double bass, a throaty sound that highlights “the loneliness of this dark hero who’s seen a lot of tragedy.”
