Great music for a great series

This is the score from the first season of The Legend of Korra, which was a sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. The score was released after much clamoring by fans, and it’s totally worth that effort. For those of you unfamiliar, these series take place in an Asian-inspired fantasy world where some people have the ability to control (“bend”) one of the four elements. The Avatar is the only one who can bend all four, and “bring balance to the world.”

As with the music for the original Avatar, Korra features a lot of great fantasy score, with an Asian flavor and instrumentation. Tracks like “Fresh Air,” “A Peaceful Place,” and “Firebending Training” underscore Korra’s bending training, and the traditions of this world, so they have the most traditional sound. This comes from the performances of Hong Wang on erhu and other Chinese instruments. This traditional instrumentation is also highlighted in the music for the antagonist of the series, “Amon” and “Chi Blockers.”

But this album also reflects the changing world of the Avatar. While the first series took place in a world on the cusp of an industrial revolution, Korra takes place 70 years later. There are skyscrapers, airships, and cars on every street. The sounds of this world are different, too. One of the most striking things about this album are the dixieland-style numbers, which serve as underscore and come through the characters’ radios. The Angel City Dixieland Band are the ringers on “Air Tight,” “Hittin’ on All Sixes,” and “Squeaky Rags.” On tracks like “On the Lam,” this sound mixes with the Chinese instruments to create a hybrid sound perfect for the series.

The hybrid sound continues with the epic score music. Tracks like “Republic City Under Attack” and “War” are great for action. “Before,” the longest track on the album, plays during the villain’s backstory. It’s slow and sad (in a good way!) “Greatest Change” is the emotional finale of the show. It starts slow, and builds.

This score is here and ready for you to explore. You won’t be disappointed.
