The Wicker Man

The Wicker Man, composed by Paul Giovanni, is a folk-oriented soundtrack that blends traditional British folk idioms with original pastoral and ritual songs. Sparse acoustic arrangements, close-harmony vocals, and period-tinged instrumentation create a rustic and uncanny atmosphere, with pieces that range from communal ballads to the intimate, suggestive tune known as Willow's Song. The music is notable for how it evokes rural pagan rites and for its strong role in shaping the film's unsettling, folkloric mood.
