That song is called "The Diva Dance." It is actually composed of two parts.
The first half of the lyrical adagio is an excerpt from the opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" by classical composer Donizetti. The second half of the electroacoustic dance music is composed by Eric Serra, the soundtrack of "The Fifth Element". The two styles are very different, but they merge into one, which is very impressive. I've always been obsessed with this song.
About Eric Serra, the composer of "The Fifth Element".
This composer with many unique charms was born on September 9, 1959 in Paris, France. It was obvious from an early age that he had a keen musical talent, and he started playing guitar at the age of 5. Serra was greatly influenced by his father throughout his life. His father, Claude Serra, was a very famous French songwriter. Serra was valued by the music industry for his superb guitar playing skills. By the age of 15, he was good enough to become a professional rock and jazz guitarist, and invitations to perform as a concert accompanist and in studio vocals and recordings came one after another. At that time, some popular artists such as Youssou N’Dour, Mory Kante, and Didier Lockwood had collaborated with Serra and participated in the production of at least more than 30 albums. From 1980 to 1984, Serra became a member of the band of the famous singer Jacques Higilin, playing bass guitar regularly in all performances. As a result, his playing skills were further improved.
At this time, Eric Serra met the then emerging French director Luc Besson and was invited to compose his debut film "The Last Battle" Film soundtrack. Since 1983, Eric Serra has performed the soundtrack for every work of Luc Besson. Among them, "The Blue Sea" can be called a top classic. The soundtrack not only sold 2.7 million copies, but also won Serra the best composition and best recording awards at the French César Film Festival that year. Serra deserved both fame and fortune.
As "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" and "The Fifth Element" became popular in the United States, Serra's music also moved from Europe to the Americas and won the love of old Americans. In 1995, he was invited to compose the entire soundtrack for the second-generation 007 movie "GoldenEye", which pushed him to the pinnacle of his career. < /p>
