Film Score Friday 9/17/99

by Lukas Kendall

This week's column is a bit of a washout because....

If you're in Los Angeles, come to the Film Music Society's film music conference today and tomorrow -- we'll be there! Yesterday was the official introduction of the new Hollywood Composers stamps at the Hollywood Bowl, featuring an open rehearsal of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra performing selections by the represented composers (Steiner, Waxman, Herrmann, Newman, Tiomkin, Korngold) to a crowd of fans and visiting schoolchildren. They played Gone with the Wind with its sentimental version of "Dixie" to a bunch of inner-city black grade school kids. Kind of weird if you think about it.

See you there!
