Course Description

Instructor: Emanuel Abramovits

The American Film Institute released a list of the best film scores, which includes many well-known classics and some surprises. The composers of those scores have something in common: a fascinating life and a solid career. Let’s enjoy the ride through the process of creating those historical pieces that convey what the movie is trying to say without words and evoke an emotional response even the most brilliant dialogues and images cannot. Classics like Gone with the Wind, Laura, To Kill a Mockingbird, Planet of The Apes, Jaws, Star Wars, Psycho, other masterpieces and even some film scores that have become more popular than the films they soundtracked.
