Great emotive soundtrack for a short lived show

Although Carnivàle only lasted two seasons on HBO, the music composed for the show by Jeff Beal contains very emotive violin and piano pieces along with dark brooding and suspensful tunes as well. The soundtrack can almost be split between those songs of the Carnivàle story line and those of Justin's story line. The show takes place during the Great Depression in the Dust Bowl region of the US so the Carnivàle pieces show that American western twang guitar style and convey lots of emotions through the violin and pianos used.

Tracks 4, 5, 10, 12, 13, 18, 20 and 25 are the darker songs associated with Justin and Management. These contain the trumpet tune found in Justin's Theme and are more dissonant in sound, adding more to the atmosphere of a scene than providing a song that can stand on its own.

The rest of the tracks are emotive, slow and contain many sad tracks, but these are the tunes associated with the Carnivàle and most are excellent violin and piano pieces that can stand on their own. The tracks most often have a violin leading, with piano or guitar adding to the tune.

The entire soundtrack is very emotive and touching, the story is not a pleasant one, but the music does a great job to convey that emotion and it is a shame that the story was never resolved.
