An extensive show on Hollywood film composers including Danny Elfman and Ennio Morricone. A special section focusing on Elmer Bernstein's 50 year anniversary of film scoring. Also a section on young composers and "film scoring school". The show airs this Sunday at 3:30pm EST on CNN (Cable News Network) and details will be available here http://www.cnn.com/WorldBeat/There is also a nice article on violinist Joshua Bell who's work garnered an Academy Award for composer John Corigliano and his score for THE RED VIOLIN. http://www.cnn.com/2001/WorldBeat/05/18/joshua.bell/index.html

Not a bad Show. That young Female composer Paola Prestini at Soundtrack School what a "Bellisma Ragazza" (Beautiful Girl). She can Score any of my films anytime. At first I thought that young Middle Eastern composer was Marco Beltrami. I think Elfman just must of had a Bad Neon Zit on his head and didn't want it to Pop on camera. I wonder why Elfman doesn't conduct any of his scores? Morricone is a Class Act as always. Gotta rent that MALENA film. What a babe. Amazing how much young Bernstein looked like young Goldsmith in the 60's. They both looked like Dennis the Menace's Father on the old Series. I guess it's the haircut. I recorded the show so if anyone's interested I'd trade a Vhs copy of it for 2 CDR's of something I'm looking for. Send your trade lists. Happy listening Friends, Piero out.

Many composers don't conduct their own scores. It's a skill unto itself, and not a requirement for film composition.

Usually, it's called "orchestrating" for orchestral music and "arranging" for smaller ensembles I believe, but when someone re-works an existing orchestral piece, it's called "arranging" as well...

Also, if you got Headline News, I think you turned to the wrong CNN channel.
