...student of d'Indy...became quite a prolific writer for films as I recall. Auric composed scores for Cocteau's Orphee and Beauty & The Beast; several Dassin films including Rififi; the excellent (if little seen) British film Queen of Spades; plus The Innocents, Roman Holiday and a bunch more I can't recall because I don't have them handy on DVD to reference, lol).

Others off the top of my head...

Corigliano - The Red Violin

Walton - Henry V, Hamlet, As You Like It

Thompson - The Plow That Broke The Plains

Copland - The Red Pony, Our Town

Although he's more a composer of song and opera and best known as a conductor, Andre Previn wrote movie scaores during his Hollywood days.

There's gotta be quite a few more that wrote maybe one or two scores to pay the bills or for a lark.

If I were a filmmaker I'd love to get composers Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Rouse or Lowell Liebermann to write my movie score.

I seem to recall a band called "The Beatles"? (nt) - KT88 11:32:02 07/30/05 (2)

Their stuff is not what's traditionally considered to be a "film score". (nt) - C.B. 12:06:10 07/30/05 (1)

neither is it traditionally considered to be traditional, but who's counting, eh?! (nt) - KT88 13:51:20 07/30/05 (0)
