Lately we have witnessed a progressive incorporation of soundtrack repertoires in concert halls., a music until recently ignored by critics, as well as its own authors. Actually, represents an immense musical heritage (and often sentimental) of 20th century music. Film music is not born with sound films, but long before, from when it was sensed that music could increase the dramatic effect of images. But it won't be until the beginning of the years 30 that a group of composers will emerge, most European, that will create the “movie music”. some of these “parents” will be Max Steiner (Gone with the wind), Erich Wolfgang Korngold (Robin of the woods), Alfred Newman (Wuthering Heights), Dimitri Tiomkin (lost horizons) o Franz Waxman (Cardigan). This lecture explains these “first bars” of this legendary music and the men who created it.
Conference in charge of Albert Beorlegui, journalist and popularizer of film history.
