Disney For Scores

These episodes are so engaging and thoughtful. The host asks great questions and the composers give detailed descriptions of the process for writing a film score, working with different directors, and all of the minutia of film music that I had no idea about. Please keep making these! Once I found this podcast I flew through all the episodes in a couple of weeks!

Man do I absolutely love this podcast!!

I am a composer and arranger (at least that’s how I identify myself–I teach at a University for a living). I LOVE this podcast. Hearing people discuss their craft, creating some of the best film music the business has heard, in Disney films. I feel Disney as an organization, has a lot at stake, from their history, to get the music right. Not settling for the usual tropes of film scoring. It’s so inspiring. Love hearing about the recording sessions, as I have my own stories, so I can relate to them a lot. I was so sad when season 2 ended, and wondered when it was ever going to continue (there was that COVID thing), so long I had lost track. Then I happened upon the podcast and saw there were new episodes. Yay! I binged all the latest, which did not disappoint, now awaiting those to come. Please don’t stop doing these.

I never studied music(beyond 3 years of piano and HS band)but I love hearing about creating music. First it gives me a better appreciation of the music scores and how they affect how we feel during a movie and second it fills me with awe as to the talent of everyone who pursues this craft.
