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

I recently released a long-delayed soundtrack album to one of my early film scores, Home Room. The drama, starring Erika Christensen and Busy Philipps, explores the emotional aftermath of a school shooting.

This week’s music selection is the score’s melancholy main theme, an intimate chamber piece for piano, cello, and alto flute. It evokes the fragile feelings of two girls trying to reconstruct their lives in the wake of a tragedy.
