The Music of Supergirl, with Composer Claudia Sarne

June 30, 2026
Listen to the episode

Composer Claudia Sarne joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss her bold, hybrid score for “Supergirl,” and how she blended orchestra, choir, synths, and experimental textures to match this more complicated, emotionally wounded version of the iconic DC character. Sarne also breaks down how she built Supergirl’s theme gradually across the film, letting it emerge piece by piece as Kara steps into her heroic identity.

[Director] Craig [Gillespie] did not want the theme to play properly until she had emerged into the suit and walked into the character fully. We hinted at it earlier on when she's still in the trench coat, and in her first fight sequence — which is this bus sequence with the Sklarians. The first thing that I wrote on this was on that Sklarian bus sequence where she's floating in space. It's sort of lonely piano, and it opens out, and you almost get to a theme, but you don't quite. It just hints at something. When I had that… just a tiny architecture of something, I took that and made it into the theme. That kind of was the genesis of what happened in the whole film and with the music. I took that as the seed and expanded from there.
