SUMMARY:Leith Stevens' War of the Worlds Online Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Embark on an exploration of Leith Stevens’ remarkable score to the 1953 science fiction classic\, “War of the Worlds.” Despite not being widely recognized now\, Stevens was a towering figure in his day. In the 1930s he worked at CBS radio\, alongside Bernard Herrmann\, before moving on to compose for Hollywood films in the 1940s. He soon became the preferred composer for director George Pal\, crafting the scores for a trio of iconic 1950s sci-fi films: “Destination Moon\,” “When Worlds Collide\,” and “War of the Worlds.” \nStevens’ unique compositional techniques have significantly influenced the musical language of science fiction\, employing devices like stacked fourths and fifths\, melodic leaps of a seventh\, and tritone-related progressions\, which have become associated with the genre’s depiction of space and the extraterrestrial. \nIn 1954\, Stevens was instrumental in establishing the Composers and Lyricists Guild of America\, the forerunner to the current Society for Composers and Lyricists\, leading it as president for eight years. His work in the 1960s expanded into television\, where he collaborated with the then-emerging John Williams on “Lost in Space.” \nOur discussion will delve into the potential compositional links between Stevens and Williams and explore the impact of one of Stevens’ instructors\, the Russian composer and theorist Joseph Schillinger. A relatively enigmatic and underexplored figure\, Schillinger contributed unconventional music theories that possibly inspired a generation of Hollywood composers to experiment and innovate\, shaping the distinctive sound of film music during that era. \nWe will be joined by special guests William H. Rosar and Tom Schneller! Having taught film score analysis in USC’s Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television Program\, William H. Rosar is a musicologist and college lecturer specializing in the history of Hollywood film music. He is also founder and former president of the Film Music Society and editor of The Journal of Film Music. \nTom Schneller is a composer\, music theorist\, and author\, and has taught film music at Cornell University\, Ithaca College\, and Eastman School of Music. \nThis online score study is FREE for all ASA members! Please sign up to be a member here. The Zoom link be sent via email the day before the event. It will also be posted on our website. \nWatch the score study preview with ASA member Josh Lucan!

SUMMARY:Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Online Score Study Part III
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 17th\, we’ll be continuing our journey into one of the 20th century’s greatest works\, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This upcoming study will focus on the Infernal Dance in Movement V. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company in 1910\, it was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men\, and interestingly\, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. In May 2023\, we started our study\, and the video from that study is available on our site for Orchestra and Philharmonic members to watch. Now it’s time to crack open that score again!\n\nIf you missed the first part\, catch up here (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/stravinskys-firebird-suite-part-1/) but even if you don’t have time\, there are many pearls of composition and orchestrational genius that we’ll delve into in the new sections.\n\nThis event will be held on Zoom at 10am Pacific Time\, and we welcome all of our members (Chamber\, Orchestra\, and Philharmonic) to join for free.

SUMMARY:Michael Kamen's The Iron Giant Score Study with Chris Siddall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first ASA event of 2024\, as we open the pages of Michael Kamen’s masterful 1999 score for The Iron Giant. This animated sci-fi film was based on a novel from 1968 and was brilliantly brought to life by Brad Bird (in his directorial debut) and Michael Kamen (in his first score for an animated movie). Set during the Cold War in 1957\, the film centers on a young boy named Hogarth Hughes\, who discovers and befriends a giant alien robot. With the help of a beatnik artist named Dean McCoppin\, Hogarth attempts to prevent the U.S. military and Kent Mansley\, a paranoid federal agent\, from finding and destroying the Giant.\n\nThe score to this film is published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing (https://www.chrissiddallmusic.com/store/p58/Iron_Giant_In_Full_Score.html) and we encourage ASA members to purchase the score ahead of time in order to enjoy the study. But even if you don’t have the score in hand\, we’ll be showing excerpts from it and\, in true ASA fashion\, breaking it down into its component parts to understand how Kamen got these magical sounds for his score. The movie itself can be streamed with a Paramount Plus Apple TV Channel subscription\, or can be rented or purchased from most major streaming platforms.\n\nThis event is FREE for all ASA members! Sign up for membership here. The Zoom info will be sent out the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Joe Hisaishi's Howl's Moving Castle Online Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we take a close look at Joe Hisaishi’s remarkable score for “Howl’s Moving Castle.” As the iconic musical voice behind almost every film to come out of Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli\, Hisaishi’s collaboration with legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has birthed some of the most evocative soundtracks in animated film history. We will be paying close attention to how he constructs unforgettable ear worms as well as his unique blend of classical\, minimalist and Great American Songbook idioms within a film music framework. \nThis is the second part of our in-person event on August 19th. You do not need to have attended to join us online! This event is FREE or our members. We will be sending out the Zoom link the day before the event. Not a member? Join here! \n

SUMMARY:The Music of John Williams with Special Guest Mark Richards
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a detailed exploration of John Williams’ action music with film music scholar and educator\, Mark Richards. Through several decades of study and published research Dr. Richards has uncovered an array of harmonic techniques Williams utilizes for his action writing\, including the employment of more exotic scales such octatonic\, hexatonic\, an Hungarian minor as well as dissonant bass notes and polychords. We’ll discuss how Williams crafts specific action chords from these elements\, tailoring them for varied cinematic needs – be it general action sequences\, moments of emphasis or conveying particular emotional associations. \nFor a hands-on understanding\, our study will concentrate on two particular cues from the original Star Wars trilogy: “Attacking a Star Destroyer” from “The Empire Strikes Back” and the Rancor Pit scene from “Return of the Jedi.” Through Mark Richards’ expert guidance\, attendees will gain invaluable insights into the meticulous crafting of music that has delighted us as filmgoers but frequently puzzled us as composers and analysts. \nThis is a free event for ASA members! Members will be given the Zoom link the day prior to the event. Sign up to become an ASA member here.

SUMMARY:Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird Score Study
DESCRIPTION:The Academy of Scoring Arts is ready to kick off a new long-form study\, looking at one of the greatest musical innovators of the 20th century\, Igor Stravinsky\, and the suite from his 1910 ballet\, The Firebird. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company\, it was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men\, and interestingly\, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. Throughout Stravinsky’s life\, he revised the score to the suite at least three times. The ASA volunteer team is hard at work on a new\, custom engraving of the work\, correcting various mistakes from older editions and readying it for detailed study in signature ASA fashion\, where we’ll have the ability to zoom into specific instruments and solo or mute at will\, enabling us to dissect the orchestration in great detail to understand how Stravinsky’s sound was put together. \nAll ASA members (including our free tier\, Chamber) are welcome to join us for this virtual event for free! This will be the first event in a multi-part study series on the Firebird. Zoom info will be sent the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Jerry Goldsmith's Mulan Score Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, March 18 as we examine Jerry Goldsmith’s seven-minute overture to Mulan. Veteran ASA members know that we love taking apart a Goldsmith score\, and this Academy Award nominated score offers a rich treasure trove into the fantasy writing that perfectly marries Disney with Jerry. We’ll play back the score and talk about its composition and orchestration\, and isolate elements so we can learn from the master.\n\nWe encourage attendees to purchase an inexpensive digital copy of the score ahead of time. This score was created by publisher Chris Siddall (https://www.chrissiddallmusic.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html) and was meticulously engraved from Jerry’s original manuscript. It is available for only $14.99 at SheetMusicPlus here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/suite-from-mulan-score-only-digital-sheet-music/22292435 While we will be showing portions of the score during the event\, we always find there is far more to dig into than we have time for\, so we encourage you to get your own full copy and support the efforts of masterful engravers like Chris\, who are constantly bringing new scores to life.

SUMMARY:John Williams' Superman Score Study Part III
DESCRIPTION:Our original Superman event back in November has spawned a trilogy of studies! The symphonic suite from John Williams’s Superman started with the villain theme (Lex Luthor and Otis)\, which consumed our first study\, then the love theme (“Can You Read My Mind”) which occupied our second study\, and now we’re on to the third and final theme\, the big Superman hero theme! Join us on ZOOM Saturday\, February 4 at 10am Pacific. As with our other score study events\, our volunteers have helped us create a MIDI mockup and custom engraving of the score\, so we’ll be able to take it apart and dig into some of the details of the amazing orchestral writing that John Williams is famous for. All ASA members (including our free tier\, Chamber) are welcome to join us for this spellbinding event.

SUMMARY:John Williams’ Superman Score Study
DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, we return to the music of John Williams with our first-ever look at one of his most memorable and enduring scores\, Superman (1978). We’ll take apart the symphonic suite and take a close look at the villain theme\, the love theme\, and of course the main hero theme. John Williams has proved himself a master of so many genres within film scoring\, and although this score was written in the same era as Williams’s first Star Wars score (1977)\, it’s stunning to hear a such a contrasting approach to the character of the music. The Superman score has subtle romantic overtones that augment the superhero angles. We’ll look at all of this and much more! \nThis study will take place on Zoom\, and we welcome all our ASA members (Chamber\, Orchestra\, and Philharmonic) to take part. If you’re not yet a member\, sign up on our site. Even our free membership (Chamber) will get you in to this event. The Zoom URL will be mailed to all members the day before the event\, and will also be posted to our home page. Orchestra and Philharmonic members\, of course\, get access to more than 150 other studies that we’ve done\, and we encourage you to check out (https://scoringarts.com/videos). \nAfter our score study\, we’re partnering with the American Youth Orchestra\, who is performing Superman live-to-picture at UCLA’s Royce Hall at 4pm. This performance is their 14th annual Hollywood Project Concert\, and conductor Caros Izcaray will bring the entire score to life live on stage with Los Angeles’s best youth musicians. The Academy of Scoring Arts is grateful to the AYO for extending a special ASA discount to attend the concert. \nTicket link: https://www.aysymphony.org/14-annual-hollywood-project-concert-2022/\nPromo code: AYS4 ($4 off)

SUMMARY:James Horner Aliens Score Study - Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us online on Saturday\, August 27 at 10am PT for our latest score study\, a deep dive into James Horner’s remarkable 1986 score for Aliens. It was Horner’s first Oscar nomination\, and a unique one in that much of the score did not make it to the final edit of the movie. We’ll discuss the tension between Horner and director James Cameron\, and look at the soundtrack recording of the score to understand Horner’s approach and techniques. Our mockup teams are hard at work preparing excerpts from the score so we can take it apart in trademark ASA fashion. \nWe will be joined live from the UK by publisher Chris Siddall\, whose company publishes the full score for Aliens\, as well as many others. We encourage attendees to order the score and allow enough time for shipping in advance of our study. The score can be found at: https://www.chrissiddallmusic.com/store/p56/Aliens_In_Full_Score.html
