Musical scores enrich the content they accompany, whether in film, television or even video games. Composers write music to support or enhance emotional moments and to help establish an overall mood or tone.

“City Lights” music contributor Dr. Scott Stewart has been studying and teaching this genre of music for decades.

This episode of “City Lights” focuses on sports and music. “They have been intertwined since there has been sports, shaping the energy of the game, the identity of the teams, and even the performance of athletes,” said Stewart.
