Tune into your source for all things soundtrack, Morricone Youth, this Sunday, February 26, from 2-4pm ET, for a look back at the scores of films released in 2011 in honor of the 84th Academy Awards scheduled to take place later that day at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, CA.. Whereas last year's winner Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' work for The Social Network was built largely on electronic and ambient sounds created by the Swarmatron analog synth, all five nominees this year utilize a full orchestra with nods to scores past. The Artist to Bernard Herrmann's Vertigo; Hugo to Shore's early score for Big but with more French flair; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to spy thrillers such as John Barry's The IPCRESS File or Jerry Goldsmith's Russian House; and John Williams' War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin to...well, errr...John Williams. It was a pretty great year for film music.
Host Devon E. Levins will review the nominated original scores and songs, discuss his obvious pick for the coveted Oscar and conclude with some of his favorite overlooked music from the past year.
