Blair Mowat was the composer for Class, as well as Big Finish's Class: The Audio Adventures. As part of his work, he created leitmotifs for characters, ideas or situations. Blair has stated that if Class received a continuation of any sort, he would continue to build on these leitmotifs.[source needed] This page is intended as a record of identified leitmotifs and the timings of their appearances.
NB: Some leitmotifs have not been officially recognized by Blair Mowat himself, but their associations with particular characters/scenarios etc. can be assumed from the timing of their appearances.
