    The American Film Institute released a list of the best film scores, that includes many well-known classics and some surprises. The composers of those scores have something in common: a fascinating life and a solid career. Let's enjoy the ride through the process of creating those historical pieces that convey what the movie is trying to say without words and evoke an emotional response even the most brilliant dialogues and images cannot. Film scores that in some cases, have become more popular than the films they soundtracked. Gone With The Wind, Laura, To Kill a Mockingbird, Planet of The Apes and many other classics!! And in the last class, let's build our own list!!
     
    *Class Dates: 4/3, 4/10, 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, & 5/8.
    *Class on 4/10 has been rescheduled to (F) 4/11 at 9am.
