In the piece 'The Brides/E.C./The Castle', Kilar showcases his extraordinary compositional skills, creating music full of tension, mystery, and darkness. The form of this composition is varied, ranging from dynamic orchestral sections, through solo violin parts, to the mysterious sound of the choir. Kilar undoubtedly fully utilizes sounds and melodies to convey to the audience the tension arising from the story of Dracula and his captivating followers. This piece is an example of the compositional genius of Wojciech Kilar and his ability to create music that perfectly matches specific scenes and situations in the film.
