Snowman is a soundtrack composed by Howard Blake for the animated film of the same name. The film was released in 1982 and the soundtrack was composed in the same year. The film is based on the children's book by Raymond Briggs and tells the story of a young boy who builds a snowman that comes to life and takes him on a magical adventure. The soundtrack consists of several movements, each of which captures a different aspect of the story. The first movement, "Walking in the Air," is perhaps the most famous and features a haunting melody sung by a young boy. This movement captures the sense of wonder and magic that the boy experiences as he flies through the air with the snowman. Other movements in the soundtrack include "Building the Snowman," which features a playful and upbeat melody as the boy and the snowman build their creation. "The Snowman's Music Box Dance" is a whimsical and lighthearted movement that captures the joy and playfulness of the snowman. Overall, the Snowman soundtrack is characterized by its use of orchestral instruments and its ability to capture the emotions and themes of the film. The music is often playful and whimsical, but also has moments of melancholy and sadness. The soundtrack has become a beloved classic and is often played during the holiday season.
