FILM MUSIC
Music
has been essential in the world of cinema since the very beginnings.
Before we could listen to
dialogues in movies, the music in silent films already taught us to understand
any scene, by transmitting feelings, emotions, conversations, etc. An example
is this scene from "The Great Dictator" by Charles Chaplin.
Over time, the composition of
music and sounds for cinema has been refined even further, being able to
reproduce special effects, sometimes with instruments and sometimes with
strange objects.
During the history of cinema we can highlight many musicians who
have dedicated themselves almost exclusively to this world and who have become
great composers of great pieces, such as:
Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The
Mission or Cinema Paradiso), Hans Zimmer
(Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, Gladiator or Batman, The Dark Knight),
John Williams (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Star Wars,
Jurassic Park, the Indiana Jones saga, Harry Potter and Shark) or Alberto Iglesias (Volver, The Constant Gardener, The
Kite Runner and Dolor y gloria)
As you can see, these are just
some of the best composers of the original soundtracks that have set your cinema
sessions.
