At the beginning of the years 40, two musicians will enlarge the Olympus of the first generation of film musicians: Bernard Herrmann (Ciudadano Kane), and Rózsa Miklós (He baghdad thief). Victor Young will be added to these names (Around the world in 80 days). But in those years there was also another genre that provided great musical background.: he western. Many films are associated with a musical theme, with musicians like Dimitri Tiomkin (Only in the face of danger), Alfred Newman (The conquest of the west) o Max Steiner (Desert centaurs). And in parallel, two names will cultivate the jazz applied to soundtracks (Alex North, a A tram called desire, y Elmer Bernstein, a The man with the golden arm), developing a career with forays into super entertainment. In this second conference of this cycle we talk about (and they are heard) some of the music that forged our sentimental education in those years.
Conference in charge of Albert Beorlegui, journalist and popularizer of film history.
