AFI'S 100 YEARS OF FILM SCORES
According to a press release on the website of the American Film Institute,
In May 2005, AFI distributed a ballot with 250 nominated movie scores to a
jury of over 500 leaders from the creative community, including composers,
musicians, film artists (directors, screenwriters, actors, editors and
cinematographers), critics, and historians. The 25 film scores that receive
the most votes will be presented live--and in order--by Principal Conductor
John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra with classic scenes from many
of the films projected on the Bowl's big screens."
For those of you who live in the Los Angeles area, the concert is scheduled
for Friday night, September 23.
Jurors used three criteria in making their selection of the greatest film
music "written to serve as the dramatic underscore to an American film
released in the sound era": creative impact ("film scores that enrich the
moviegoing experience by bringing the emotional elements of a film story to
life"), historical significance ("film scores that create a new sound and,
therefore, present the film in a distinct fashion while advancing the art
forms"), and legacy ("film scores that are also enjoyed apart from the movie
and evoking the memory of its film source, thus ensuring and enlivening both
the music and the movie's historical legacy").
Now here's the link to the 250 nominated film scores:
