soundtrack
Movie's musical backdrop
A soundtrack is the audio portion of a film or video, especially the musical score and songs.
Originally technical—the physical track on film carrying sound—it now usually means a collection of music from a movie or show: The soundtrack won a Grammy.
Soundtrack also describes music that accompanies any experience: That album was the soundtrack to my summer.
