Composing for the Silver Screen
Charles Hazlewood and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Concert Orchestra are joined by special guest film composer Debbie Wiseman to examine the art of composing music for films.
The music used includes extracts from Debbie's own score for Wilde plus some iconic film moments where music carries the drama: the opening scene of On the Waterfront, with music by Leonard Bernstein, the Shower scene from Psycho, with music by Bernard Herrmann and the main theme from Harry Potter by John Williams.
