In this episode, we look at the soundtrack of the 2009 mini-series of Jane Austen's Emma, written by Samuel Sim. We look at how the main theme tells Emma's journey and how it changes for her love story with Mr. Knightley. We compare the use of the cello for Mr. Knightley and Mr. Elton, look at how the clarinet is used for Emma just as it was in the 1996 movie, and the variety of themes and styles to tell the story and reflect the characters, including the use of electronics for memories.
