Cue of the Week: “Golden Coreopsis”

For some reason I think of this blog as having TV-like seasons, each of which kicks off after summer travels. So welcome to season fifteen or so!

This week I re-run my favorite music from the feature film Emerald, Texas, which envisions The Wizard of Oz in modern day. The protagonists are lazing in a resplendent field of flowers — loosely, the poppy fields from the original book. I took the opportunity to write a pastoral string melody to reflect the expansive prettiness and momentary peace.

I really need to make an album of this score, but (insert standard excuses about not having enough time here).
