Composition for Screen Showcase

Wednesday 22nd April 2015 at 7.30pm
Britten Theatre, Royal College of Music, Prince Consort Road, London, SW7 2BS
Tickets: £10 |

A film score composed by David Allen has been selected to be shown as part of a Composition for Screen Showcase hosted in the Britten Theatre at the Royal College of Music on Wednesday evening. This showcase is an annual event to promote some of London's up and coming film composers with music performed live to an audience of industry professionals and members of the public.

David's rescoring of Reaping for Dummies, an animation by students from Idèfagskolen in Tønsberg, Norway, brings together a combination of traditional orchestral animation scoring with Wild West-inspired music, including two brief hoedowns (one with Copland influences, the other more traditional), virtuosic Dixieland banjos, and an homage to the Spaghetti Westerns with a Morricone-style trumpet.

Tickets are £10 and can be purchased from the RCM box office.
