Movie Masterpieces
It’s been said that classical repertoire
evolved in the opera house. 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
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.

common with the ASO.
Santos and the ASO were both born and bred in Adelaide, but our reputations extend far
beyond our state borders. We both started from humble beginnings to become leaders in
our field. We’ve both been delivering energy to South Australia for decades. And, we’ve
been partners for 17 years.
Santos is proud to be supporting the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra as principal partner once
again. Congratulations on 80 years of superb performances, from one high energy performer
to another.
