Since the 1920s film has given orchestras a whole other stream of repertoire. Alfred Newman (1900-1970) was one of the first composers to write for film. He started out as a conductor on Broadway before going West in 1930 to work on a film with Irving Berlin. There, in 1940, he became head of music for 20th Century Fox and invented a technology for synchronizing score and image. Newman wrote over 200 film scores but is best known for the Fox fanfare, which is often heard these days in a version by his son David, one of many members of this great film-music family. 14 Perhaps the best known of Newman’s protégés is John Williams (born 1932) – or ‘Johnny’ Williams as he was known when he composed themes for TV shows like Lost in Space. The first score to win him wide attention was Jaws (1975), written for Steven Spielberg, who then recommended him to George Lucas who was beginning Star Wars. Williams is greatly respected for having continued to write for orchestra even as other composers turned to synthesizers. His Jaws theme has become code for ‘the threat of something unseen’ (in the case of Jaws, under the water). As well as Newman, the young Williams worked with Bernard Herrmann (1911- ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SHOWCASE SERIES 2016 1979) who, incidentally, studied with Percy Grainger in New York. Film music should be subservient to the film’s style, goes the old cliché, but Herrmann’s music is instantly recognisable and an important part of a movie’s after-effect. Partly this is to do with Herrmann’s orchestration (which he wrote himself, rather than farming out to arrangers as often happens in Hollywood). In Psycho, Herrmann restricted his instrumental palette to strings to emphasis the black and white austerity of the images. He also disobeyed Hitchcock’s order for ‘no music’ in the murder-in-the-shower scene – and the image is forever fused with our recollection of Herrmann’s screeching violins. (1924-2009) opening theme. By the way, Lawrence of Arabia was cast in the style of an older form of entertainment complete with ‘medley’ overture before the main titles. An epic of a different era was James Cameron’s Titanic, the awardwinning film of 1997. Its composer was James Horner (1953-2015) , known for his integration of choral and electronic elements as well as frequent use of motifs associated with Celtic music. Many scores have attained memorability beyond their films. We don’t have to watch all 216 minutes of David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia to appreciate its epic quality. That is apparent instantly from the ‘Panavision sweep’ of Maurice Jarre’s Growing up in Los Angeles has advantages for musicians who wish to work in film. As youngsters, the Williams siblings hung out with greats like ‘Hank’ Mancini (1924-1994) who lived around the corner. Mancini is another whose music gives the lie to any claim that film and TV music must take a low profile. Mancini’s music is instantly recognisable, whether for the TV series Peter Gunn, or ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SHOWCASE SERIES 2016 15 the distinctively breathy, insinuating tenor sax that accompanies the animated cat in The Pink Panther’s title sequence. Some film composers have actually written works directly for the concert stage. Nino Rota’s (1911-1979) Concerto for Strings and Trombone Concerto have been played by Australian orchestras, though he is best known for scores he wrote for Italian directors like Fellini, Visconti and Zeffirelli. For Francis Ford Coppola’s violent gangster film The Godfather Rota drew on a deep vein of Italian lyricism to create a theme that was deeply ironic in its touching ‘old country’ sentimentality. When the first Lord of the Rings film was released, Sydney writer Leo Schofield commented on the Wagnerian quality of much of Howard Shore’s (born 1946) score. The music dramas Wagner (18131883) wrote for the stage in the 19th century are seen by some as precursors of epic movies. Sometimes Wagner’s music is lifted straight from its operatic context to serve a film, as happened in Coppola’s Apocalypse Now where US helicopters swoop down on a defenceless Vietnamese village like riding Valkyries. Of course, the Celtic influences in Shore’s Lord of the Rings score are far removed from Wagner. 16 Another composer whose scores are instantly recognisable is John Barry (1933-2011). Just listen to his telling use of French horns in Goldfinger or Thunderball. But there was something about Barry’s music that also made it eminently suitable for epics, like Out of Africa where the horns are used, uncharacteristically, to create an expansive mood. Sometimes composers become associated with particular producers or directors – Herrmann and Hitchcock, Steiner and Selznick. John Williams began his association with Steven Spielberg on The Sugarland Express (1974). When Spielberg created a film about an extraterrestrial who is befriended and adopted by a lonely kid called Elliot who must then keep ET hidden from his mother and the government, Spielberg naturally chose Williams to create an exciting, adventurous, touching score. Securing the services of Ennio Morricone was a coup for Quentin Tarantino in last year’s The Hateful Eight. Morricone’s music was an authentic touch since he had written the music for Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso (1988) was a different proposition, ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SHOWCASE SERIES 2016 however, where Morricone created music for a bitter-sweet memoir of life in a small Sicilian village in the 1950s. If you want an element of quirky, slightly sinister fantasy in a movie, Danny Elfman is your composer. Consider the music Elfman has written for Tim Burton. But the music he wrote for Batman has an altogether darker tone. Leo Schofield remarked on the Wagnerian tone of the Lord of the Rings music; Batman has the ring of the magician Klingsor’s music from Wagner’s Parsifal. How many more superhero movies will there be? Hans Zimmer (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) recently announced that he would write no more music for the genre. He found it hard, he told the BBC, ‘to find new language’. But perhaps Zimmer deserves to take a break. He has composed the music for over 150 films including The Lion King, and science fiction classics like Interstellar and Inception. Surely, today’s film composers are as prolific as composers of the Classical or Baroque eras who churned out music for their patrons at the rate of once a month – or week! While John Barry and others wrote the complete soundtracks for James Bond films, the actual swaggering James Bond theme was composed by Monty Norman, an English big band singer who in the late 1950s began writing songs for the likes of Cliff Richard, Tommy Steele, Count Basie and Bob Hope. One of the fun activities in watching a Bond film is anticipating where the Bond theme will be worked into the soundtrack, often somewhere that will make the audience cheer. ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SHOWCASE SERIES 2016 17 18 ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SHOWCASE SERIES 2016 So far this concert has exposed music from France (Jarre), Germany (Zimmer) and Italy (Rota and Morricone). Bruce Rowland is Australian. The Man from Snowy River is an impressive extrapolation and enlargement of the 13 stanzas of ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s 1890 poem. ‘Pull back to reveal half of Victoria’ said one of the film’s earliest reviewers of a scene in Victoria’s High Country, and that epic quality is matched by Rowland’s score. Once he starts writing for a director, John Williams often ends up writing music for several of that director’s films. He might stay onboard for a whole series. The most recent he has worked on are the Harry Potter films. Surely, he is one of the most versatile composers working in movies today. Besides music for political dramas or swashbuckling adventures, he is the ‘go-to’ composer for the evocation of childhood fantasy. For The Curse of the Black Pearl, director Gore Verbinsky wanted a sound that suited his contemporary vision, and approached Hans Zimmer whose scores, in the words of James Koehne, ‘made use of technology to update the Hollywood orchestral sound’. Zimmer agreed to supervise the development of a score which was to be composed principally by his associate, Klaus Badelt. Badelt is the principal composer, but movie database IMDBPro lists Zimmer as Music Editor, Music Programmer, Score Producer, and Soundtrack Producer. Zimmer’s ‘mentoring’ is interesting in the light of history. His company, Remote Control Productions, is not unlike the old days when each studio had its own music department, with one overall supervisor and other composers contributing ‘cues’. The most famous film score by a Greek composer must be that for Chariots of Fire by Vangelis. Born Evanghelos Papathanassiou, Vangelis first came to international notice in 1968 as part of the group Aphrodite’s Child. He wrote his theme for Chariots of Fire, making no attempt musically to reflect the 1924 Olympics look of Hugh Hudson’s 1981 film, but the theme has come to stand for undaunted courage, outside any film context. After this wide survey it might be good to reflect that the first score written for a movie, as opposed to improvisation on a piano or organ, was probably that by Saint-Saëns for L’Assassinat de duc de Guise (1908). Films have been a rich source of orchestral music for more than a century. Gordon K. Williams © 2016 Image credits: E.T. (1982): Henry Thomas.
