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 Part II
DESCRIPTION:We had a blast dissecting the villain theme at our first Superman score study event\, so much so that we ran out of time! It was an invigorating discussion\, focusing on Williams’ clever use of dissonance and scales to represent the characters of Lex Luthor and Otis. On Saturday\, December 10th\, we’ll continue our exploration of John Williams’ 1978 Superman score. For Part 2 we’ll look at the romantic harmonies and orchestration of the gorgeous love theme.\n\nIf you missed part 1\, it’s now available on our web site (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/john-williamss-superman-suite-part-1/). Make sure to check out the highlight clips there\, and you can also peruse the actual study score we’re looking at (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUtwBc3VrsQ).\n\nPart 2 of the Superman study will be held on Zoom. All ASA members are welcome and will be sent the Zoom URL the day before. It will also be posted to our home page.

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

SUMMARY:The Music of Guild Wars 2 with Maclaine Diemer
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 24th as special guest Maclaine Diemer takes us behind his music for the hit game Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons! End of Dragons is the third expansion for Guild Wars 2\, and one that presented a special challenge: how to revisit a fan favorite area from earlier iterations of the game while re-imagining it with more respect and sensitivity. Taking inspiration from Korean history and culture\, the soundtrack needed to weave Korea’s unique musical traditions with the familiar sounds of the Guild Wars franchise. Maclaine will go through the process of educating oneself as an outsider\, early missteps\, incorporating Korean voices into the team\, and ultimately shining a light on a form of music that is sorely underrepresented in Western media. Attendees will learn how they can expand their creative boundaries\, understand and meld disparate musical traditions\, and re-invent the sound of a well established franchise\, all while avoiding the pitfalls of strip-mining a culture for commercial purposes.\n  \n\nThis is an in person event! We will be returning to our old stomping grounds: Vitello’s in Studio City! Ticket price includes coffee\, pastries and LUNCH!\n  \nNon-members – $30\nChamber – $25\nOrchestra – $10\nPhilharmonic – FREE\n\nSign in to your account to get your promocode!\n\n\n\n\n \n \nBecome an ASA member here!\n\n\n\nABOUT MACLAINE DIEMER \nMaclaine Diemer is a composer for interactive and traditional media. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston\, he entered the rock and roll rat race\, climbing speaker towers and playing to sold out crowds across the U.S. and Canada with several bands before entering the game industry. \nNow\, with 14 years of experience in games\, he has worked on some of the highest profile titles across multiple game console generations as well as PC. An insatiably curious musician and multi-instrumentalist\, he works in a wide variety of styles. Whether performing stripped down arrangements of his Guild Wars 2 score at the first Twitchcon or conducting a full orchestra in Boca del Rio\, Mexico\, Maclaine lives to carry the torch for game music all over the world. \nNotable credits include ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2 and Harmonix’s Rock Band franchises\, Riot Games’ League of Legends\, and Amazon Game Studios’ first major original title Crucible. \nMaclaine lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his cat\, Mr. Darcy.

SUMMARY:THE TWILIGHT ZONE: THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER / THE INVADERS
DESCRIPTION:Study leaders William V. Malpede and Josh Lucan take us on a deep dive into two episodes from the iconic television series THE TWILIGHT ZONE\, each scored by a legend in film music: “Eye of the Beholder” (1960) by Bernard Herrmann and “The Invaders” (1961) by Jerry Goldsmith. We’ll also be joined by Marc Zicree\, veteran television producer and writer\, a member of our Advisory Board\, and the author of The Twilight Zone Companion. \nGoldsmith and Herrmann each wrote numerous episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE\, and these two iconic episodes are particular masterclasses in scoring for small orchestral ensembles using minimalistic compositional techniques. \n“The Eye of the Beholder” is a dark and compelling tale about one woman’s desperate desire to conform within a dystopian society. With a surprise twist in the plot\, the episode contains both beauty and a sinister chill from Herrmann’s minimalistic score featuring 2 vibraphones and 2 harps\, backed by brooding and climactic brass and percussion punctuations. \n“The Invaders” is also famous for its twist ending\, and is unique for its complete lack of dialogue. Goldsmith’s music becomes a central player along with actress Agnes Moorehead non-speaking performance. Composing under the budgetary constraints of 60’s television\, Goldsmith’s ensemble consisted of approximately thirteen string players\, piano\, celeste\, harp\, vibraphone\, marimba\, chimes\, and the Novachord. In an early example of his atonal writing technique\, Goldsmith focuses on minor seconds and tritones to convey the horror unfolding on screen. This score also demonstrates Goldsmith’s penchant for using unusual instrument combinations as well as cutting edge electronics to achieve novel timbres in the sci-fi and horror genres.

SUMMARY:Bernard Herrmann Score Study: The Day The Earth Stood Still
DESCRIPTION:The Academy of Scoring Arts is proud to present a score study of Bernard Herrmann’s ground-breaking classic score\, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL.  Partnering\, once again with Christopher North and Rolando Gori from the Ravel NYC Group\, and featuring excerpts from Neumation Music’s recently-released full score publication. William Malpede will lead a deep dive into Herrmann’s 1951 electronic-acoustic hybrid soundtrack\, which features a unique\, never-before-heard combination of brass\, percussion\, electric strings\, theremins\, keyboards\, and backwards multi-tracking. From the notes of Neumation’s publication\, the classic science-fiction drama directed by Robert Wise “offered a potent social commentary about the intensifying Cold War that was born from a climate of fear and repression during the 1950’s.” Mr. Wise is quoted as saying\, “When we got on the music stage and started to record the cues\, I was thrilled. It was beyond anything I had anticipated.” Today’s digital technology in music has certainly taken us well into the future\, but in 1951\, Bernard Herrmann anticipates the era of electronic music\, while at the same time informing the drama with his unique brand of unsettling chromaticism\, motivic unity\, and psychologically-based\, sonic landscapes.\n\nThis study will incorporate the signature ASA score mockups\, where our volunteer teams have prepared separated instrumental recordings of the score\, enabling us to deconstruct the score as we study it and isolate parts to understand the compositional and orchestration techniques of Herrmann.\n\nThe ASA is pleased to partner with Neumation Music for this event\, and will be showing short excerpts of the orchestral score during the study. We encourage all interested attendees to support the composer and publisher by purchasing the book in order to study the score in more detail and to support the publishing of future high-quality film scores.
