Music composed by Pascal Estève.
Pascal Estève about the soundtrack : The music of The widow of Saint-Pierre is really a piece apart from the dramaturgy : I needed to enhance the confusion of the feelings to express the inexorable. The boat, the Marie-Galante, with the guillotine on board, it's the death in march. I wanted specially to avoid the trap of a beautiful romantic score, flat and clean. Copy/paste of XIXth century music was too obvious… I profered to go toward a more grating writing, full of disturbing harmonies. And to express sea, iodium, salt… Thus, the perversion of the sound for the accordion, the bandoneon, the sailor voice.
