Cue of the Week: “Unlikely Heroes”

This week’s selection is a quirky, quasi-jazz piece for sax, marimba, and other oddities. To be honest, I don’t exactly remember what I was going for here, but the end result makes me think of spies in the 60s. Perhaps cartoon animal spies.

Cue of the Week: “Home Room (Main Theme)”

The 2002 film Home Room featured Erika Christensen and Busy Philips as survivors of a school shooting who become unlikely friends. The end credits music for the film, presented here in extended form, is a trio for piano, cello, and alto flute.

Cue of the Week: “After the Game”

This cue from the film Against Time is one of my favorites, doubtless because the scene had just about everything a film composer could ask for. (Tears, father-son bonding, and baseball.) I’m indebted to the Budapest Film Orchestra string section for a particularly lovely performance.
