Question

The Exorcist (1973) has an adapted score.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The Exorcist (1973) has an adapted score. Answer options: True or False.
Option 1: True. In films, an adapted score means the music incorporates pre-existing compositions or themes that are adapted for the movie rather than entirely original music written from scratch for the film. The Exorcist is well known for using distinctive musical selections and pieces that were repurposed or adapted to fit scenes, sometimes combining existing material with new scoring. This makes the statement plausible, since the film’s auditory landscape includes elements that originate outside a completely original score. 
Option 2: False. Claiming that the film has a completely original, non-adapted score would imply every cue was newly composed specifically for the film without borrowing or repurposing any existing works. If one considers the broader practice in cinema, many scores blend original composition with adaptations or licensing of existing pieces to achieve certain atmospheres, so asserting it has no adapted elements at all would be inaccurate. 
Option 3: (If applicable) Some people might confuse “adapted score” with “fully original score” or with a score that relies heavily on a single musical source; in that case, the statement could be misinterpreted. It’s important to distinguish between pieces that are newly composed for the film and those that are adapted from other works, even if the latter is only partially used. 
Option 4: (If presented) Another angle might be to consider whether the adaptation is limited to ancillary cues or a broader reworking of themes; even so, the presence of adapted material supports the view that the score is not entirely original. 
Overall, understanding the concept: an adapted score is common in film music, where directors integrate pre-existing material with new scoring to achieve the desired mood. The statement’s accuracy rests on recognizing that adaptation can occur in varying degrees across a film’s soundtrack. 
Note: The discussion above distinguishes possibilities without asserting a definitive stance, guiding you to evaluate what “adapted score” typically entails in film music terminology.
