“City on a Hill” is a rare show that understands the importance of the music of place
THERE IS A reason so much music by Bostonian bands features in “City on a Hill”, a new crime series. “It’s more than a show that takes place in Boston,” Chris Tergesen, the music supervisor, says. “It’s about what was happening to the city, so it helps to keep it localised.” The selection “wouldn’t be so important if the show just happened to be set in Boston.”
Soundtrack music comes in two forms: diegetic or “source” ; and non-diegetic . Much of the Bostonian music in “City on a Hill” is non-diegetic, featuring in montage sequences at the end of episodes. When it intrudes in this way, Mr Tergesen says, it has to serve the characters. When Jimmy Ryan, a criminal played by Mark O’Brien, listens to rap, he listens to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
