Friday Aug. 4, 10 AM: "Music as my Guide". Grammy Award-winning cellist Zuill Bailey presents a special "informance"- speaking, playing, and taking questions- walking us through how music has sculpted his path and given him the tools to navigate life's adventures.
Music and the Movies - 2 classes - Dr. Scott Stewart
SESSION #1 July 13 Music and the Movies:
Music for film, television, and video games occupies a unique position as being the only performed music which (some say) is not intended to be heard!
From King Kong to A Streetcar Named Desire to Out of Africa and more, this session will explore the role of music in the cinema and how composers create artistically effective and enjoyable soundtracks.
SESSION #2 July 14 Music and the Movies:
The Golden Age of Hollywood produced movie classics like Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, and Citizen Kane. Music was a huge part of their success and influenced generations of composers.
This session illustrates the connections between music of cinema's Golden Age of the 1930s and the return of the Hollywood symphonic soundtrack with the music of John Williams, Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri. |
