Pondering Woodwinds
Pondering Woodwinds
Many of the hundreds of film score devices I am studying are so short that they hardly merit a blog post – especially kid’s stuff. So every now and again I pile a few into a micro-cue. This one brings together a few devices featuring woodwinds and their capacity to evoke a humorous/pondering underscore.
It’s wonderfully enlightening to take the time to transcribe and absorb all those pearls of wisdom in such scores as Home Alone, and to realise they are all so simple and transparent. I hope this small sample is interesting – take a look!
