Wojciech Kilar was a Polish composer, born on July 17th, 1932 in Lwów, Poland (now Ukraine), and passed away on December 29th, 2013 in Katowice. He was an influential figure in the Polish avant-garde movement of the Sixties alongside Krzysztof Penderecki and Henryk Górecki. With a career spanning over several decades, Kilar composed scores for more than 100 films in Poland, France, Germany, and Hollywood. His collaborations with renowned directors such as Roman Polanski, Francis Ford Coppola, and Jane Campion established him as one of the most sought-after composers in the industry.

Kilar's musical style was characterized by its distinctive blend of traditional orchestration with modern elements. His compositions possessed a unique ability to evoke emotions and enhance storytelling through music. With his immense talent and versatility, he left an indelible mark on the world of film scoring.

Influenced by various genres including classical music and contemporary trends within cinema soundtracks, Kilar's work continues to inspire aspiring composers today. His contributions to the field have earned him recognition among esteemed artists such as Basil Poledouris, Graeme Revell, Christopher Young, Trevor Jones,and many others who have been inspired by his innovative approach to composition.

The genesis of the film lay with actress Winona Ryder, who wished to make amends with director Francis Ford Coppola after her late withdrawal from The Godfather Part III. She brought him a script written by James V. Hart, which provided an adaptation of the famous 1897 novel Dracula by Irish author Bram Stoker. Coppola decided that he wanted a composer with classical eastern European sensibilities. After listening to a few pieces from fellow Pole Wojciech Kilar, Coppola was convinced that he had found his man. He called him and offered the assignment, which Kilar gladly accepted as he was very impressed with Coppola’s cinematic success. For his soundscape, Kilar chose to utilize traditional leitmotifs. Besides it features Love Song For A Vampire by Annie Lennox (Eurythmics).
