A BETTER MAIN TITLE

In 2004 I did a score for a film called “Forbidden Warrior” with a 96-piece all-star orchestra recorded at the legendary Todd-AO studio by Academy Award-winning engineer Shawn Murphy.  Who among us could possibly complain?  It was beautifully performed and recorded; it sounds like a Big Hollywood Movie.  Well in this class we’re going to analyze the Main Title - both compositionally and especially orchestrationally - because today I would do it very differently; much more effectively.  We’ll talk about how and why and reveal some of the key ingredients to the classic "Hollywood sound."  Included in the class is a copy of the original score for study.  Don't miss this one!
