Incidental music

Incidental music is music in a play, television program, radio program, video game, film, or some other presentation form that is not primarily musical. The term is less frequently applied to film music, with such music being referred to instead as the "film score" or "soundtrack". Some early examples of what were later called incidental music are also described as semi-operas, quasi-operas, masques, vaudevilles and melodramas. Modern composers of incidental music include Pierre Boulez, Ilona Sekacz, John White, Iannis Xenakis, and Lorenzo Ferrero.
