Anyone wonder why the "King of England" and "The Black Prince" soundtracks sound far darker than the "King of France" and "Joan of Arc" soundtracks? Also compare "Glory to the Black Prince" to "Hope for Joan of Arc". I would be interested in knowing why Jamie Christopherson made this choice. One of my guesses is that because the war was pretty much England stomping around France's turf. The darker music implicates them as the raiding conquerers, while the lighter French themes feel more heroic, for they are defending their homeland from the raiding Englanders. It could also reflect on musical styles that originated from the respective countries. Not sure on this, but it's always possible. Then of course there's my "lololol eenglund iz bettur n manlier den franse" theory/opinion/bias/what have you.
