Abstract
Music plays an essential role in the viewing experience of the viewer. Although in the audiovisual story the image is the conscious focus of attention, music provides a series of effects, sensations or meanings that add value to the narrative and are projected as part of the visual discourse. Among the functions of audiovisual music stands out the one of creating convincing atmospheres of time or place. This function of "local color" acquires particular relevance in the series of epoch due to its possibility of giving realism to its setting. At a time when television productions have increased their technical and artistic quality, the selection / creation and use of music has acquired a special projection in the construction of the audiovisual story. In this sense, the object of the present work has been to make an approximation to the use of music in the previous time series, especially in regard to pre-existing themes. An approach that has allowed to point out different trends in the design of the scoring paying attention to their fidelity.
