Summary of Inside Film Music: Composers Speak
Designed to speak clearly and intelligently to non-musicians and musicians alike, "Inside Film Music" is a must for every film music fan. Through its forty-plus lively, insightful interviews, it delves deeply into the creative process, the basics of musical thought, filmmaking's collaborative nature, and the individual psyches of its participating composers. It covers every current style of film music, the essence of what it means to write a score for motion pictures ...and much more. Composers featured included Academy Award Winners John Barry ("Dances with Wolves", "Out of Africa", "Goldfinger"); Rachel Portman ("Mona Lisa Smile", "The Cider House Rules", "Chocolat"); Stephen Warbeck ("Shakespeare in Love"); and, Gabriel Yared ("Cold Mountain", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", "City of Angels", "The English Patient"). Also interviewed are Academy Award Nominees John Debney ("Sin City", "The Passion of the Christ", "Bruce Almighty", "Spy Kids"); Philip Glass ("The Hours", "Kundun"); Mark Isham ("Freedom Writers", "The Black Dahlia", "Home for the Holidays", "Quiz Show"); Marc Shaiman ("How Harry Met Sally", "Ghosts of Mississippi", "A Few Good Men", "City Slickers", "Misery"); and, Alan Silvestri ("Back to the Future", "Forrest Gump", "The Polar Express").
