James Horner Tells The Story Behind Five Of His Classic Film Scores The lauded movie composer goes deep on Steven Spielberg, Terrence Malick and Rick Moranis. James Horner's back catalogue of film scores is ridiculous. Among his 158 IMDb credits are, most famously, James Cameron's box-office smashers Titanic and Avatar, but his repertoire is much broader and deeper. Horner has worked within just about every genre you might care to name. Horner rarely gives interviews, but for the first-time in 30 years, the English-born, US residing composer is striking out on his own, releasing a concerto entitled 'Pas De Deux'. "In film score work I have a master and despite my best wishes or best conceived plans it all has to go to my employer for approval. 1. "Star Trek has a built-in audience expecting a certain relationship between characters. "The villain stuff, the big effects stuff, the chases, all of that takes care of itself because it's all visually stunning. 2. "It's the intimacies of the storytelling that make it come alive. 3. 4. 5. "Oh my golly.
John Williams conducts circus tain chase from Indiana Jones and the last crusade Colin Stetson, pour la gloire du son Le saxophoniste américain signe l'un des plus beaux disques de cette année, aussi subtil que radicalement brut. Vous n'avez probablement jamais entendu un tel chant ailleurs. Solitaire comme la baleine 52Hz. « Tout ce que je fais, le fais pour la gloire » le mot ne vient pas de la correspondance de Napoléon ou même de la Bible, même s’il rappelle le style des lettres de Saint Paul adressées aux Corinthiens « Faites tout pour la gloire de Dieu » (Première épître aux Corinthiens, Chap.30 :10). Mais non, celui qui prononce ces paroles (enfin qui les écrit plutôt parce qu’il ne dit pas un mot) c’est un certain Colin Stetson qui signe l’un des disques les plus forts qu’on ait entendu depuis longtemps : All I Do Is For Glory Vous écoutez donc le corps et le saxophone de Colin Stetson… ou plutôt les saxophones : alto, tenor ou basse et parfois la clarinette contrebasse. Il faut enfin évoquer le nom du label de Colin Stetson : 52Hz, label qui pour l'heure n’édite que lui. Extraits diffusés :
Interview with Thomas Newman Tuxedoed penguins, dancing chimney sweeps, a housekeeper floating in on an umbrella to tame a household of errant children – all accompanied by some of the most memorable songs to grace a Disney movie, let alone any family film in Hollywood via England history. These confections make for the enduring magic that is “Mary Poppins,” a movie that’s melodiously synonymous with family warmth. However, the real story behind this heartwarming classic was anything but harmonious, especially when “Poppins” decidedly Scrooge-like creator arrived in LA’s magic kingdom like a serving of castor oil – haunted by a childhood that was anything but a fairy tale. Such is the pre-production from hell fable that makes for the ultimate wonderment of “Saving Mr. Banks,” not that the songwriting-scoring team of Richard and Robert Sherman ever thought they’d survive it. “Saving Mr. That’s right. What did “Mary Poppins” mean to you as a kid? Did you study the music of “Mary Poppins” before scoring “Saving Mr.

Legendary Composer Leonard Bernstein on the Future of Music, Harvard 1973 by Maria Popova “A great new era of eclecticism is at hand.” In the fall of 1972, legendary composer Leonard Bernstein was appointed the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard, his alma mater — a position originally created in 1925 to bring celebrated poets as campus residents and student advisors and previously occupied by such luminaries as T. S. Titled The Unanswered Question, the lectures — covering Musical Phonology, Musical Syntax, Musical Semantics, The Delights and Dangers of Ambiguity, The Twentieth Century Crisis, and The Poetry of Earth — spanned more than 11 hours, all of which are now available online. Bernstein ends the series with a kind of summation of his credo, one he leaves out — or, rather, modifies and makes less prophetic — in the book: Donating = Loving Bringing you (ad-free) Brain Pickings takes hundreds of hours each month. You can also become a one-time patron with a single donation in any amount: Brain Pickings has a free weekly newsletter.

Methode rythme L’urgence pour un musicien en devenir, c’est de mettre toute son énergie dans le travail du rythme et de trouver le bon coach ou la bonne methode rythme. Il en existe 3 excellentes du même auteur Daniel Goyone. Je les conseille à mes élèves. Je les pratique depuis des années. La première méthode de cet auteur que j’ai acheté « Percevoir et comprendre le Rythme » a été éditée en 1985. Toutes les personnes qui découvrent notre structure « Musiques Actuelles » lors de portes ouvertes ou de concerts sont ébahies par la cohésion rythmique des élèves. La méthode pratiquée est pourtant simple et se résume en une phrase : Un aspect rythmique doit être senti et compris intérieurement, avant d’être pratiqué sur l’instrument. C’est justement ce que ces 3 méthodes vous proposent de développer.

How the Game of Thrones Composer Scored the Massively Epic Music of Pac Rim | Underwire Photo: Max S. Gerber Ramin Djawadi’s got a knack for sonic boom. As the composer for movies like Iron Man and Blade: Trinity and TV shows like Game of Thrones, he’s created a songbook filled with everything from ominous doom-and-gloom tones to fist-pumping musical adrenaline. Now he’s brought his brand of utter badassery to the kaiju-on-mecha saga Pacific Rim. Under the direction of the film’s director Guillermo del Toro and with help from former collaborators like Tom Morello (whose signature guitar work defines the film’s title track) and the RZA (who contributed his songwriting and production skills to a bonus track), Djawadi has crafted a behemoth, 100-plus-minute score that ought to convince even the biggest skeptics and genre purists that this is an apocalypse worth getting jacked up for. Wired asked him about his professional epicification process when it comes to creating soundtracks that are as big – if not bigger – than the stories they vivify. Djawadi: I wish I knew the recipe.
