Overture
Once More, with Feeling (Buffy episode)
"Once More, With Feeling" is a musical episode of the
television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written and directed by
Joss Whedon, the creator of the show. The lyrics and music were also written by Whedon, with a score by
Christophe Beck and arrangements by Beck and Jesse Tobias.
Joss Whedon had wanted to create a musical episode since the first season of Buffy, but wasn't allowed to until the show was moved to a more lenient network, UPN. Another reason for his delaying the musical episode is revealed in his DVD commentary for the episode, where he reveals that if he had placed the episode in season four, it would have occurred shortly after the musical episode
The Bitter Suite and would have appeared far less original. Supposedly, the episode "
Hush" (which was nominated for an Emmy for its use of the absence of human voices) is located where the musical episode would have originally been placed.
