Wings: Film Music Takes Flight

Film music sets the mood and helps elicit the emotional responses that make a good movie a great movie. Each week on CharlottesvilleClassical.org, The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour takes a listen to music from the wide world of film scores.

Out of Africa (1985) - music by John Barry

Aviation and flying are popular subjects for movies. But to capture that feeling of flight, a great musical score really helps.

On this week’s edition of The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour, we turn our gaze to the skies for “Wings: Film Music Takes Flight.” We’ll hear some great selections from composers Bill Conti, Franz Waxman, James Horner and more, covering films both fanciful and factual. We hope you’ll join us!

Produced and hosted by Ken Nail, The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour airs on Charlottesvilleclassical.org every Thursday at 9 AM and 6 PM, plus Saturdays at Noon. Visit our Facebook page, or contact Ken on Twitter at @ken_classical.
