Cue of the Week: “The Cram Session”

Continuing the series from the romantic comedy Audrey and Einstein, this is a sprightly cue for solo strings and a collection of colorful percussion instruments.

Cue of the Week: “The Uninvited Guest”

This week’s selection is another cue from the romantic comedy Audrey and Einstein, whose main theme I posted last week. This solo piano waltz continues the score’s humorous/romantic approach.

Cue of the Week: “Audrey and Einstein”

This week’s cue is the opening theme for a short film I scored many years ago, a charming romantic comedy about a lonely woman’s bond with a fish. It racked up several well-deserved awards.

On the accordion is celebrated film/TV composer Bear McCreary, whose many talents include a wicked fluency in Zydeco folk music.

Cue of the Week: “The Yard Sale”

This week’s selection is a lyrical and nostalgic cue from the film Against Time. The scene’s heart was a particularly moving performance by Craig T. Nelson, which made it easy to find musical inspiration.
