EVDOL 28 - The Film Music of Franz Waxman

Art Williford
This course will explore the life and music of one of the greatest film composers. Each class will focus on Waxman’s score for one film, spanning the greatest years of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and ranging from the gothic splendor of The Bride of Frankenstein to the towering operatic melodrama of Sunset Boulevard. The class will also explore Humoresque, a sweeping film of classical music and doomed romance, which gave the music world Waxman’s famous Carmen Fantasy. Along the way, there will be detailed discussions of film-scoring techniques, orchestration, motivic development, and the symbiotic relationship between music and story.
