Description

This class is the third in a series exploring classic film scores. Beginning with the 1970s, we see not only the introduction of synthesizers, but the further exploration of rock’s use as a soundtrack device. During the same time period John Williams single-handedly revived the glory days of Hollywood scores with full orchestral soundtracks. Film composers of the era include John Williams, Nino Rota, John Carpenter, Danny Elfman, Vangelis, and Ennio Morricone.
