Wolf Hall and Period Music in Film

Matthew Sweet talks to composer Debbie Wiseman about using period music in films and how the search for authenticity enhances the viewer's experience.

Matthew Sweet talks to composer Debbie Wiseman about using period music in films. For the TV series Wolf Hall, Debbie wrote original music in a period style, films like Farinelli and Death In Venice use classical music and for the series Bridgerton Kris Bowers created a hybrid of period-sounding music with hip-hop beats.
Matthew asks how the search for authenticity enhances the viewer's experience, and when does it become a distraction?

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: "Ask ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds to play Sound of Cinema.”
