Join us for a journey through the music from the silver screen this May. We start with some wonderful pieces of classical music used in films and tv adverts, from The Ride of the Walkyries, used in Apocalypse Now, to Force of Destiny (Overture), from the Stella Artois advert, and the Onedin Line Theme from Khatchaturian’s Adagio from Spartacus. The Big Country and Born Free are two of the most instantly recognisable film themes from the 1960s and close our first half.
In the second half, we’ll delve into the contemporary film world with the golden era of modern movie scores from giants such as Michael Giacchino, John Williams and Hans Zimmer.
