An exploration into the music that has defined the soundtrack for countless Western films over the past 100 years!Chandor Gardens Foundation invites you to the next instalment in the ongoing Wine & Words Speaker Series with Dr. Paul Cortese, Assistant Director for Operations in the TCU School of Music presenting "Big Sky Music! - The Western Film Score" at Chandor Gardens on Saturday, May 18, 2024
Cowboys, Indians, gunfights, and adventures on the frontier have all been represented by various musical treatments. Dr Cortese will highlight the composers who developed the ‘horse opera’ score, while examining the musical language and devices used to transport the audience to another time and place—the American Old West.
The film score creates a film's emotion and mood for each scene. Western movies have not only masterfully used music to communicate emotions and mood to the audience, but to also influence the emotions and moods of the audience.
Dr Cortese will be sharing music and film clips from well-known Western movies showing how the film score plays such an integral role to the overall audience experience.
The presentation starts at 7:00 P.M. (doors open at 6:30 P.M.)
Tickets: $30 (includes wine & beer)
