ABC Classic has today announced Music for the Screen as this year’s theme for their annual Classic 100. The shortlist of 200 titles on ABC Classic’s website spans 80-plus years, from Erich Korngold’s 1938 score for The Adventures of Robin Hood right up to Hans Zimmer’s Academy Award-winning score from the 2021 film Dune.

However, the selection isn’t simply limited to cinematic scores. Audiences will be able to vote for music from television series such as Netflix’s The Crown and HBO’s Game of Thrones, as well as music from popular video games including Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the Assassin’s Creed series. 

“The pandemic saw billions of people around the world turn to film, TV and video games for entertainment, comfort, solace and connection. This year’s Classic 100 pays tribute to the power of screen music to deepen and enrich our entertainment,” said ABC Classic in an announcement this morning.
