MUSICA SACRA : From Screen to Stage -- settings of Film, TV, & Video Game Music

Media art relies on music to inspire and augment the emotions engendered by what is on the screen. From Screen to Stage — a Chorale concert of music from movies, TV, and video games, both previously composed and original to the medium.

Selections include movie music from Lord of the Rings and La Grande Bellezza; TV title themes from Game of Thrones and Outlander; and video game music from Civilization and Halo.

In the words of Musica Sacra Director, Mary Beekman “ … the next time you watch a film or TV show or play a video game, pay close attention to your emotional responses to a scene. If you find your heart racing with excitement or anxiety, or yourself moved to tears, parse how much of that may be due to the music you are hearing as much as, if not even more than, the visual medium in which you find it.”
