Hollywood Symphony   3:45 Min. – Moderato Svelto
DEWF61703429

“Hollywood Symphony” from the album “Americana” by the film composer Marcel Barsotti, recalls the optimism and pathos of American Hollywood film scores, the musical splendor of successful Hollywood that continues to this day. The composition, beginning with broad brass chords, is introduced by a fast string passage with a deep viola and cello theme. High strings then take over the pathetic and powerful composition, broken up by large horn counterpoints and trumpet interjections. In the second part of the composition, the music becomes much more rhythmic and elegant and develops into a whipping composition, with lots of timpani and percussive orchestration. The composition becomes denser, louder and more dissonant towards the end and ends in a furious, fast tutti chord.
