National Film Score Day
National Film Score Day honors the musical masterpieces called Film Scores and, more specifically, the very talented composers who produce them on April 3rd.
Imagine your favorite film without a few well-placed notes, raising the emotion of a dramatic on-screen exchange. A chase scene without rousing orchestral music raises the stakes, increasing the drama. Will Star Wars, Jaws, The Lord of the Rings films, or the Harry Potter films be the same without their respective musical scores? Would we cower so easily in fear of our seats without the film score? Is our imaginations so eagerly suspend from reality? Music lifts emotions. It also sharpens our senses and focuses our attention. Without a doubt, the film score is the fiery soul of a film.
We quickly identify our top films in film history simply by a few lines of a film's orchestral soundtrack... When we hear the Film Scores we love the most, we get to us. Perennial masters and modern-day blockbusters call to us. Despite years or decades, those chords often spark a rush of fond memories. With each new film released, a talented composer creates another stunning work of musical art, eliciting a new set of lasting movie memories...
