Series celebrating the art of the cinema soundtrack, as Neil Brand explores the work of the great movie composers and demonstrates their techniques.
The classic orchestral film score emerged in the 1930s via the work of European-born composers such as Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Neil Brand explores how great movie soundtracks work and looks at the 1960s composers who embraced jazz, rock and pop in film scores. Contributors include Martin Scorsese, Richard Sherman and Lalo Schifrin.
Changing technology has taken film soundtracks in new directions and changed perceptions on how they should be made. Includes an interview with Vangelis, who shares his inspiration for the Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner scores.
