Hannibal soundtrack: Complete list of songs featured in the show

Hannibal is a horror-thriller television series developed for NBC by Bryan Fuller. The show draws on characters and plots from Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon (1981), Hannibal (1999), and Hannibal Rising (2006).

Hannibal delves into the darkly manipulative relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and genius forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Lecter, a suave but deadly villain, is both Graham's most frightening foe and his only true friend.

Aside from Reitzell's original score, Hannibal tastefully incorporates classical pieces by masters such as Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and Debussy. The music serves as a fine tool for storytelling that informs mood, foreshadows emotion, and rings true with the inner conflict of characters.
