More about this title

About the Composer: Alexandre Desplat

Alexandre Desplat stands among the most accomplished film composers of the last two decades, with a gift for writing melodies that lodge themselves in listeners' minds long after the credits roll. His work on the Harry Potter films spans eight movies across the franchise, during which he developed an extraordinary ability to capture emotional nuance through acoustic orchestration and piano writing. Beyond Potter, Desplat has composed for acclaimed films including The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Shape of Water, and Fantastic Beasts, earning multiple Oscar nominations and cementing his status as a major voice in contemporary film music.

For music educators, Desplat's film scores offer rich opportunities to explore how melody and harmony work in narrative contexts. His compositions often reward close listening at the piano, where students can isolate the essential musical ideas that made them memorable on screen.

Why we love this

Desplat's piano writing captures genuine emotional weight without requiring virtuosic fireworks, making this arrangement a genuine gift for intermediate pianists seeking meaningful repertoire. The melody carries the weight of its film moment, which means students connect to the material instantly and stay engaged through the learning process. Programming this on a recital or in a film music unit signals that you value contemporary craft and cinematic storytelling as legitimate musical territory.

What to expect

Obliviate carries a haunting, introspective quality that reflects its narrative moment in the film. The piece unfolds with quiet intensity, offering moments of gentle lyricism alongside passages of deeper emotional weight, creating space for the pianist to explore subtle dynamic and tonal gradations.

Who it's for

Intermediate pianists who want to expand beyond classical repertoire without sacrificing musicianship or emotional depth. Students drawn to contemporary music, film scores, or recognizable melodies will find this piece immediately compelling and rewarding to learn.

How to get the most out of it

  • Attend carefully to the overall arc across all four pages rather than treating each section in isolation; this melody unfolds gradually, and the payoff depends on patient pacing
  • Balance the left hand thoughtfully so it supports rather than overshadows the melody; film scores live and die by their ability to carry a clear tune
  • Use the dynamic markings as signposts for emotional shape, particularly where the texture thickens or the accompaniment changes texture

How to use it

This works beautifully in a recital themed around film music or contemporary composers, where it can stand alone or pair with other Desplat arrangements. It also serves as an excellent bridge piece for students transitioning from classical to modern repertoire, showing them that strong composition transcends genre.

Skills your students will build

  • Phrasing longer melodic lines across multiple measures
  • Balancing melodic clarity with accompanying textures
  • Interpreting dynamic subtlety in understated emotional contexts
  • Reading and executing film score notation and articulation markings
