ORCHESTRAL MUSIC WRITTEN AND ADAPTED FOR MOVIES

This course is a performance-oriented study of symphonic music and repertoire for the orchestra. The semester's rehearsals and concerts will focus on orchestral music written and adapted for movies. Music to be performed and studied includes standard orchestral
repertoire heard in movies such as Fantasia (music of J.S. Bach/Stokowski, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and others), Fantasia 2000, the soundtrack of 2001 (Johann Strauss, Richard Strauss, Mozart and others), Amadeus (music of Mozart), and the original soundtrack music of John Williams which has played an important role in countless movies over the past three decades. The semester will also be highlighted by a Residency in March with the New York Philharmonic and a special master class with the Shanghai String Quartet.
