Who to Copy From When You're Scoring a Movie
Sci-fi: Mahler For anything with ‘star’ in the title. Fantasy: Dvorak For when magical men are running in a field. Prestige drama: Beethoven It’s always someone’s first time hearing the moonlight sonata. Costume drama: Brahms Claaaaassy. |
Animated classic: Verdi Oh they'll swoon. Cerebral foreign drama: Bach Like the movie, both really good and really boring. Shakespeare adaptation: Mendelssohn The only thing that can sell a sprite. Historical epic: Wagner Grand's fine, but grandiose is better. |
Romantic comedy: Tchaikovsky Whenever swelling is desired. Romantic drama: Liszt It worked for 19th century girls. Horror: Bartok Because Hungarian music is scary. Royal drama: Vivaldi Because kings are the classy warlords. |
