The Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra\u2019s season at Brighton Dome continues on Sunday 4 December with a concert celebrating the work of some of Britain\u2019s greatest film composers – The Best of British Film Scores.<\/em><\/p>\n

Britain has provided the world with some of the most iconic films ever made, many now considered classics, and part of what makes these wonderful films so powerful is some of the best film music ever written.<\/p>\n

Guest conductor Richard Balcombe<\/strong> explains why the audience is in for a feast of memorable tunes and powerful orchestral writing:<\/p>\n

\u201cOrchestral film music is some of the most dynamic and exciting you\u2019ll hear as it has an immediacy in creating mood and sentiment that has to hit the ear without any delay \u2013 sometimes the mood has to be created almost fleetingly as cues can be very short. Our programme is packed with pieces that will bring emotion to the surface, both in the strength of something like 633 Squadron and in the romance of Ladies in Lavender.<\/p>\n

Many composers specialise in writing for film and television (Ron Goodwin, Patrick Doyle and Nigel Hess for example) but we\u2019re also featuring pieces by composers from the great English classical tradition \u2013 William Walton, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir Arthur Bliss and John Ireland.<\/p>\n

Whilst there are doubtless some popular favourites in the programme (The Dam Busters and Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines for example) we have also delved deeper to find beautiful compositions like Coastal Command (Vaughan Williams) and The Overlanders (John Ireland).<\/p>\n

We should be immensely proud of a long line of British composers contributing amazing scores for the world of film and it\u2019s very exciting to be able to celebrate in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n
