Sherlock Holmes Introduction

In the opening sequence of Sherlock Holmes the music played is a piano style music and then the sound of the horse and carriage comes into shot. Then as the horse and carriage fades the background music gets fast and then the previous piano music adds in. When Sherlock enters the building the music then fades and turns to quiet music. The music then becomes faster and louder as a fighting scene commences.

The next scene is with the girl and Lord Blackwood and the music carries on quietly but deep drum sounds start playing. Then Sherlock and Watson are about to enter the room but cautiously, as they come across someone guarding the room the music goes quiet as they are forced to kill him to not be seen. The music goes silent because it adds to the point that they are trying to be quiet to not be seen by Lord Blackwood.

Sherlock and Watson run into the scene to save the girl and the music gets faster and louder, but when fighting, the music goes quiet again so you can hear the sound effects of the weapons as they are fighting. Then the music goes back to loud again.

When they confront Lord Blackwood the music becomes slow and changes to a dark and deep style of music which sounds like cello's playing. The music then goes to a higher pitched style music and gets louder as the previous piano music from the start starts playing over it.
