I felt that the score of The Adventures of Robin Hood followed classic Hollywood themes in terms of the instruments used and how they were implemented. More modern scores have a heave use of piano and pop songs, while Robin Hood was almost exclusively horns, drums and fast-paced strings. Having moved beyond the intro/closing style of music, Robin Hood uses music in almost every scene both as filler and emotional triggers.
Especially during the introduction scene to Robin, every time the camera switches between characters, the music changes as well. There is not a blanket theme, repeating over and over in the background, but rather the score changes as the mood of the scene changes and helpfully tells the audience, in a somewhat overdone way, what they are supposed to be feeling. At all time, the score is upbeat, loud and rousing, even when the villains are on screen.
