The musical palette of the composer of music for the screen is no longer limited to the colors of 19th century Romantic or 20th century Modernist concert music. The approach of artists such as Thomas Newman and Mychael Danna owes much to their embrace of native folk traditions, ranging from African ceremonial music and Indonesian Gamelan to Pakistani Qawwali, Celtic, and Middle Eastern forms, and more. This course is an introduction to the tonal vocabulary and the instruments of selected folk traditions, and presents the student with the challenge of writing pieces which combine indigenous and orchestral traditions.
