His main theme is harmonically evocative  of a pop tune, perfectly evoking the breezy sensibilities of reckless \/ carefree  high school students, and their fickle bouts with love and rejection.<\/p>\n<p>Zarvos filters his theme through a minimalist structure, emphasizing a  maniacal repeated figure through chamber strings, soothing vibes, or through a  synth-rock arrangement (\u201cHigh School\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>While the two-note motif makes its way through a handful of chord  progressions, Zarvos focuses on small subtleties \u2013 clarinet solo, or just  sustained notes giving way to ominous tones \u2013 to convey the moral learning curve  of the film\u2019s arrogant character: a teen who has a year to find a genuine soul  mate, and break the ugliness curse thrust upon him by an angry teen witch.<\/p>\n<p>The real attraction to this simple, elegantly conceived score is the intimate  emotions that transcend the long-gone film, making the music a striking  standalone work. It\u2019s minimalism in a romantic and sometimes witty light, and  Zarvos\u2019 work is one of the loveliest soundtrack releases of the year.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2011 Mark R.
