When Music doesn’t Trust You
Thanks Dale. I love a broad range of music. Movie Scores can be fantastic and enriching . But I was so glad to hear you bring this topic up. I believe there is far too much of it in many of todays feature films and series . Dialog has been losing for quite some time now.
This particular show of yours put me in mind of a parallel in fiction . Some fiction writers seem to depend heavily on dialog and by proportion much less dependence on scene set or atmosphere. Some fiction is almost ready for stage with a minimalist backdrop and props. In contrast , many great writers can really set a scene. In fiction , I believe I lean a bit towards MORE scene setting , more environment, more description.
Yet in film I lean the other way.
Glad you are back at it. I learn so much from you every show.
Expected nothing less
I used to be a student with Dr. McGowan, even then his commitment to the art of music was palpable. Here it is no different, every episode I learn something new and fascinating and I couldn’t be happier that the show is coming back after a long hiatus. I look forward to listening more in the future
So happy you are back!!!
I've been missing this. I was thrilled to see new episodes popping up. Really enjoyed the one on Beethoven
