In this episode, we look at the music of Persuasion (1995) written by Jeremy Sams and featuring classical composers J.S. Bach and Frederick Chopin. We explore how Sams wrote s mostly transitional music as well as the concert music while much of the accompaniment of the story is classical music.

In this episode, Ruth talks to composer Sherri Chung about writing for her dream project "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai" on Max; the joys, the challenges and the nitty gritty aspects in writing for TV; her mentorship and collaborations with Blake Neely, as well as her first soundtrack inspirations and projects to her current new show "Found" on NBC.Award-winning composer Sherri Chung has been recognized internationally as a trailblazing composer for film and television. Her music transcends genre, and fuses inspirations—both traditional and emerging—in support of filmmakers’ visions worldwide. Sherri currently composed the scores for the TV shows Kung Fu (CW), HBO Max/Amblin’s animated series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, and most recently, the Netflix feature film, Happiness For Beginners and NBC’s Found, that premiered this October. Frequently recognized for her other television credits, including the CW network series Batwoman and Riverdale, NBC’s Blindspot, and Ava DuVernay’s limited series The Red Line, she has also scored numerous feature films, documentaries, and commercials. Recent film credits include Warner Bros Studio’s Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, and The Lost Husband, the latter which garnered her a Society of Composers and Lyricists Nomination for Best Score for an Independent Studio Film. She also composed the score for The Other Side of Home, which was shortlisted in the 2017 Oscars for Best Short Documentary. Not only a composer, Sherri is also a pianist, vocalist, performer and songwriter. As a vocalist, she has recorded for films, commercials, trailer music, and television (ABC’s Resurrection, CW’s Arrow and NBC’s Blindspot). Her voice can also be heard on the Netflix documentary series The Keepers (which was Emmy nominated for Outstanding Documentary). An active member of the film music industry, Sherri also serves as Governor of the Music Branch of the Television Academy. World of Soundtracks is hosted by Ruth Mudge.

In this episode, we look at the music of Mansfield Park (1999) written by Lesley Barber. We explore how the music aids in telling the story of this adaptation in combining elements of the Baroque and classical era with the minimalism in styles reflecting the older Austen story with Rozema's modern view. We also see the juxtaposition of using traditional classical instruments for Austen adaptations with the less common whether the marimba, glass harmonica, or hurdy-gurdy.Host: Ruth MudgeMusic included in podcast:"Violin Concerto No. 3 in A Major, Hob.

From folk tunes, to new and unusual instruments, to new places such as the Ministry of Magic, as well as returning ideas from dragons to flying to magic in Hogwarts.

In this first part of a two-part episode, we look at the variety of ways that John Williams creates the musical world of Harry Potter. From school songs to Quidditch, from dragons to goblins, from ghosts to moving staircases, John Williams combines the rich late-romantic orchestral sound with the slightly odd notes resembling 20th century composers such as Stravinsky and Prokofiev to create a world that seems both familiar and different. He also expands in the second and third film from celeste and choir to adding instruments from the Baroque and Renaissance, combining new sounds with old. This episode focuses solely on the first three movies composed by John Williams.Host: Ruth MudgeMusic included in podcast:"The Arrival of Baby Harry" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" - The Sorcerer's Apprentice, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic & James Levine, music by Paul Dukas, 1987"Diagon Alley/The Gringotts Vault" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Act 1, Scene III, The Street Awakens" - Romeo & Juliet, Op. 64, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra & Valery Gergiev, music by Sergei Prokofiev, 2010"Platform Nine-and-three-quarters/The Journey to Hogwarts" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Hogwarts Forever!/The Moving Stairs" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Entry into the Great Hall/The Banquet" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"The Quidditch Match" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Christmas at Hogwarts" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Olympic Fanfare and Theme" - Celebrating John Williams (Live at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles 2019), performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic & Gustavo Dudamel, music by John Williams, 2019"The Norwegian Ridgeback/A Change of Seasons" - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams, 2001"Fawkes is Reborn" - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams & William Ross, 2002"Dueling the Basilisk" - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams & William Ross, 2002"Meeting Aragog" - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams & William Ross, 2002"Moaning Myrtle" - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams & William Ross, 2002"Knockturn Alley" - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by John Williams & William Ross, 2002"Pavana la Bataglia (Crumhorns & Ensemble)" - Dictionary of Medieval & Renaissance Instruments, performed by Christian Mendoza & Orchestra Antiqua Musica, music by Anonymous, 2002"Double Trouble" - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, music by John Williams, 2004"Secrets of the Castle" - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, music by John Williams, 2004"The Portrait Gallery" - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, music by John Williams, 2004"Quidditch, Third Year" - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, music by John Williams, 2004"Apparition on the...
