Film Music: Better Than You Think

Register here.

Original Music is used to heighten the comedic and dramatic plots and images of films. One could say that music plays second fiddle to a film. And yet, many scores can stand on their own or have been converted into celebrated classical works that have become popular in today’s concert repertory. Jeffrey Engel will detail the early sporadic use of music in films and explain how it developed into the full symphonic score. Engel will also play recorded excerpts by several notable film score composers. Registration required. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. This program will not be recorded.
