Revision as of 22:43, 19 July 2021
Blair Mowat was the composer for Class throughout its first (and as of 2021, only) series in 2017.
As part of his work, he has created leitmotifs for characters, ideas or situations. These also recur through his scores for Big Finish's Class: The Audio Adventures series, and Blair has stated that if there was a continuation of any sort - he would continue to build on these leitmotifs.
This page is intended as a record of identified leitmotifs and the timings of their appearance. Some leitmotifs do not have an officially listed assignment to a particular character or idea from Blair himself, but these associations are easily apparent as such from the timing of their appearance and characters onscreen throughout their appearance.
