This opening 20 minutes or so mainly features the most reflective and lightest moments of the score when Joris and his friends are living their lives prior to the appearance of the witch. Presumably related to a backstory for the film, this opening track reflects the action scoring that doesn’t really appear in the opening third of the score. The cue finishes with a statement of a short heroic 4-note motif, again associated with the film’s action sequences. This bridging section of “Prologue” has a fantasy/magical feel courtesy of some subtle electronics and ethereal wordless voices before leading into the briefest of hints at the darker side of the score to come. Livre 1: Julith and propels most of the action scoring. The energy of the strings and the appearance of percussion as a strong rhythmic support, particularly for the middle section of this cue, is a common feature of Dofus. A catchy motif in the strings immediately gives pace to the score with an accompaniment of low woodwinds and brass adding a sense of menace. The album opens (“Prologue”) with a summary of a couple of musical ideas that are used at various points throughout the score.
