John Corigliano

And then in my third year, because of my experience with that teacher at Berklee, I was going to drop composition.

So I actually doubled in both film scoring and composition, but I almost dropped composition because I was like, I don't want to waste, quote unquote, my time learning the type of music that I don't want to write anyway, right? until one day John Corigliano came to Berklee and gave a masterclass about his percussion concerto and then that was the first time really ever that I felt wow living composers can write music that are complex but still make so much sense and still make you feel something and I really want to study with him And then, so after the masterclass, I went to him.

I'm like, John, I admire you so much.

I would love to study with you.

Music from The Red Violin, a 2000 movie, which tells the story of a 17th century violin maker who creates an instrument that is effectively haunted by the spirit of his dead wife.

Here is Red Violin Caprices from the film by John Corigliano, performed by violinist Carolyn Goulding. . ¶¶ ¦ ¦ ¦ ©

And if you have listened to the credits, here is some more music for you The American composer John Corigliano is now in his late 80s and has amassed an incredible range of operatic, chamber and symphonic music.

But every so often he has been lured to the world of film scoring, and perhaps his best known work in this genre is for the film The Red Violin from 1998, directed by François Girard.
