Composing : Music ideas by Tom Rooney

Music ideas

I'm looking for ideas for music to a couple of scenes in my latest screenplay and thought I would throw this out to you all. The screenplay is a Romantic Tragedy and that's the type of music I am looking for. If you think of Philip Glass and "The Hours" then you have it. If you've never heard of Philip Glass, I recommend listening to the piece. The music helps put me in the mood when I write so come on Stage-32'ers, what music do you see for a Romantic Tragedy?

Joshua Berrent

A Single Man by Abel Korzeniowski

Joshua, Never heard of Abel Korzeniowski so this came as a Wow! moment for me. I will certainly add him to my list. If you want a copy of my list of similar music just email me at tom.rooney@btinternet.com. Thanks for the introduction to Abel's music Joshua.

Samuel, You too have opened up an exciting pathway with your choice of music. Many thanks. I shall spend lots of time listening to music from your suggestion, and again, if you want a copy of my list send me an email to tom.rooney@btinternet.com. Again, many thanks.

Not a problem Tom! If you're into more "art" music (in the same minimalist vein), I'd definitely check out Arvo Pärt, Michael Nyman, Brian Eno, Steve Reich, John Adams, Fred Lerdahl, Phil Niblock, etc
