Klaus Badelt (born 12 June 1967) is an award-winning German composer, best known for composing film scores.
Life and career

Badelt was born in Frankfurt, Germany. He started his musical career composing for many successful movies and
commercials in his homeland. In 1998, Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer invited Badelt to work at Media
Ventures in Santa Monica, his studio co-owned by Jay Rifkin. Since then, Badelt has been working on a number of
his own film and television projects such as The Time Machine and K-19: The Widowmaker. He also collaborated
with other Media Ventures composers, such as Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, and Zimmer; and mentored
several others like Ramin Djawadi and Steve Jablonsky.
While collaborating with Zimmer, Badelt contributed to the Oscar-nominated scores for The Thin Red Line and The
Prince of Egypt, as well as writing music for many well known directors including Ridley Scott, Tony Scott,
Terrence Mallick, John Woo, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Werner Herzog, Sean Penn, Gore Verbinski,
Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.
Badelt co-wrote and co-produced the score to Hollywood box office hit Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, along
with Zimmer and singer/composer Lisa Gerrard. Having contributed music to Gladiator, Mission: Impossible 2 and
Michael Kamen's score for X-Men, Badelt was involved in the three most successful movies in 2000. Badelt also
collaborated with Zimmer on other successful films, such as The Pledge, and 2001 blockbusters Hannibal and Pearl
Harbor. One of his more famous and popular scores was for the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of
the Black Pearl.[2]
Klaus Badelt
In 2004, Klaus branched out of Zimmer's studio and founded his own film music company, Theme Park Studios, in
Santa Monica, CA. Since then, he has scored films like "Constantine", "Poseidon", "Rescue Dawn", and "TMNT", to
name a few.
Among Badelt's most critically celebrated scores are the Chinese fantasy film The Promise[3][4][5] and Dreamworks'
remake of The Time Machine, the latter which earned him the Discovery of the Year Award at the World Soundtrack
Awards 2003. He also wrote the music for the closing ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and was
commissioned to write the opera about China's First Emperor, to be premiered in 2012.
Known for his dedication, Klaus worked on the soundtrack for The Promise for almost 6 months. The song which
can be heard in the movie's end credits is an ancient folk song in China, and very few people can still sing it. For
that, Klaus traveled almost two weeks in China to find someone who was able to sing the whole folk song in order to
rearrange it for the score.

Giuseppe Becce
Giuseppe Becce
Giuseppe Becce (February 3, 1877 October 5, 1973) was an Italian-born film score composer who enriched the
German cinema.
Biography
Becce was born in Lonigo/Vicenza, Italy. He showed his musical talents early and was named the director of the
student musical orchestra at the Padua University when he studied geography. In 1906 he moved to Germany and
studied musical composition with Arthur Nikisch and Ferruccio Busoni. In the 1913 silent movie Richard Wagner,
directed by Carl Froelich, Becce played the title role and wrote the accompanying music. He continued to write such
music for a series of subsequent movies. A collection of these pieces, the so-called "Kinothek" was published
between 1919 and 1933 by the Verlag Schlesinger'sche Buchhandlung in Berlin.
From 1915 to 1923, Becce was the director of the little orchestra of the Berlin Mozartsaal am Nollendorfplatz. After
World War I, he was named to direct the music department of the Decla-Bioscop AG and chief director of its movie
orchestra, later to became the Universum Film AG (UFA) orchestra. He also worked at major movie theatres as
director of the orchestras, among them the UFA-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz, the Tauentzien-Palast, and the Gloria
Palast. In this position he worked with the famous directors of the German silent movie era, namely Fritz Lang,
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Georg Wilhelm Pabst, Ernst Lubitsch, Ludwig Berger, Joe May and Berthold Viertel; he
arranged and composed music for their movies. In 1920 Becce published the magazine Film-Ton-Kunst [1].[1] In
1927 he published, together with Hans Erdmann and Ludwig Brav, the Allgemeines Handbuch der Filmmusik; it was
based on his Kinothek, amongst other items, and enabled the pianist of silent movies to accompany movies in the
generalized style and motifs of renowned composers.
With the arrival of sound movies Becce worked on musical movies and movies covering opera or operetta themes.
He worked with Leni Riefenstahl, Luis Trenker, and Harald Reinl whose mountain films he scored. Becce was very
prolific providing music to movies for more than four decades; he commonly mixed his own compositions with
creations of other composers.
Becce died in Berlin and is buried in the cemetery of Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Berliner Strae.

Martin Bttcher
Martin Bttcher
Martin Bttcher (born June 17, 1927, Berlin) is a German composer,
arranger and conductor.
The beginning
Bttcher (on foreign records and articles often written "Bottcher" or
"Boettcher", the latter being the correct transliteration of the German
umlaut "") began taking piano lessons at an early age. But his first
passion was flying, and he wanted to become a test pilot. Not yet
seventeen years old, he got his military training in the German
Luftwaffe. However, due to lack of fuel, he never went into action.
As a prisoner of war, Bttcher managed to get hold of a guitar and
taught himself to play it. Following his release from captivity, he went
to Hamburg. There he started his musical career with the then
Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk, in the dance and entertainment orchestra
which had been newly founded by Willi Steiner, and which was held in
high esteem in England.
Martin Bttcher, 2002
At first, Bttcher concentrated on jazz, and he became the number two guitarist in a German jazz poll. He also
gained important experience as an arranger for film composers, among them Michael Jary and Hans-Martin
Majewski, for whom he arranged part of the music for Liebe '47.
Early years
In 1950, Bttcher, who liked to work on new sounds, recorded the first trick guitar pieces in Germany in the style of
Les Paul. In 1954, Bttcher left the music stand and turned to manuscript paper. His talent did not escape the
attention of the German film industry, which was just gaining new momentum at that time.
Thanks to producer Artur Brauner, Bttcher made his cinematic debut in 1955, composing the music for the military
satire Der Hauptmann und sein Held. His second film score turned out to be a milestone in German film history. Die
Halbstarken directed by Georg Tressler and starring Horst Buchholz, met with tremendous success. Mr. Martin's
Band comprised the top German jazz musicians, among them Horst Fischer, Fatty George, Bill Grah, Ernst Mosch
and Hans 'James' Last.
Bttcher also composed for Hans Albers and Heinz Rhmann's 'Father Brown' movies. Max, der Taschendieb (1962)
contained the track "Hawaii Tattoo" (recorded by "The Waikikis"), which Bttcher had written under the pseudonym
of Michael Thomas. Within a short time, this theme became famous all over the world, and even received attention in
the American Billboard charts.
The hit writer

Martin Bttcher found his greatest success in the 1960s composing the score for ten of the Karl May films, the first
being Der Schatz im Silbersee with the famous "Old-Shatterhand-Melodie". The films starred, among many others,
American actor Lex Barker and British actor Stewart Granger. The audience was enthusiastic about the wistful
melodies, the fanfare-like music accompanying attacks, and the cheerful hillbilly tunes. Martin Bttcher's main
themes from these films reached top positions in the German charts and sold thousands of records. The music for the
Karl May films is a landmark in German film music history. The success of these films, accompanied by Bttcher's
Martin Bttcher
music, made possible the "Spaghetti Westerns" with the music of Ennio Morricone.
With the German film industry declining at the end of the 1960s Martin Bttcher increasingly focused on working
for German TV, which benefited from his talents in many films and series produced for TV.
In the 1970s Martin Bttcher wrote a number of successful scores, among them music for the TV series
Sonderdezernat K1 and numerous episodes of Der Alte and Derrick, which are also known outside Germany. He
again came in contact with the works of Karl May when he wrote the score for the 26-episode series Kara Ben Nemsi
Effendi. The writer of Der Illegale (a TV mini-series), Henry Kolarz, said, "Even if I spoilt it, Bttcher's music is
much too good for everything to go wrong."
Throughout the following years Martin Bttcher composed yet more evergreen themes for TV-series, such as It can't
always be caviar (1977), Schne Ferien (Beautiful holidays) or Forsthaus Falkenau. In the 1990s, among others, Air
Albatros took off - a very special project for the composer, as he could pay a musical tribute to his passion for flying.
And when Pierre Brice mounted his horse again as Winnetou for the ZDF television station, he was, of course,
accompanied by a score by Martin Bttcher.
Even the Americans became aware of him as an arranger and orchestra director. When they heard his renditions of
the world-famous themes "Tara's Theme" and "Theme from 'A Summerplace'", Martin Bttcher was made an
honorary member of the Max Steiner Society.
In 1998, the composer once more conquered the German charts. A band from Cologne, the "Superboys", scored a hit
with a vocal version of the "Winnetou-Melodie" from the second Winnetou film. Their song "Ich wnscht' du wrst
bei mir" ("Wish U Were Here") even reached the top of the ZDF television charts. Another cover version by the
Czech group Tkej Pokondr called "Vinetu" even received double-platinum in their country in March 2000.
The "master of tunes" was honoured in a very special way in 2002: as a jury member (Europischer Frderpreis - a
European talent award) Martin Bttcher represented Germany at that year's European Biennale for Film Music in
Bonn.
Awards
On October 9, 1995, the Deutsche Filmmusikpreise (German film music awards) were awarded at the Bonner
Bundeskunsthalle. Martin Bttcher was honoured with the prize for his "outstanding contribution to German film
history, which shows in an abundant musical oeuvre"; he was the very first person to receive this prize (in later
years also Mikis Theodorakis and Ennio Morricone were among the recipients).
The continuous success of the Karl May melodies was the reason why, at the Karl May Festival in Bad Segeberg
in 1997, Schacht Music Publishers honoured the tremendously successful composer with a "special award".
On April 15, 2000, Martin Bttcher received the "Edgar Wallace Award in Gold" for his merits in German crime
movies.
On January 25, 2004 Martin Bttcher was awarded in St. Moritz the German Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal
Cross of Merit) for his lifetime achievement.
On May 28, 2009 Martin Bttcher was honoured in Berlin with the Deutsche Musikautorenpreis (German music
authors award), category "composition for films".

Reiner Bredemeyer
Reiner Bredemeyer (February 2, 1929 December 5, 1995) was a German composer. He was born in Vlez,
Santander and went to school in Breslau. In 1944 he began his military service. After World War II he met Karl
Amadeus Hartmann. From 1949 to 1953 he studied composition with Karl Hller at the Munich Academy for
Musical Arts. In 1954 Paul Dessau took him to East Germany, where Bredemeyer became a master student of
Rudolf Wagner-Rgeny at the Berlin Academy of the Arts.

Felsenstein and Ernst Busch. From 1957 to 1960 he was arts director at the Theatre of Friendship in Berlin and from
1961 kapellmeister and composer at the German Theatre. His composers generation (among Friedrich Goldmann,
Georg Katzer und Friedrich Schenker) broke with socialist realism and looked for orientation in western
Avant-garde.[1] In 1978 he became a member of the Academy of Arts and in 1988 he was appointed professor. Until
1989 he served as a board member of the GDR's composers and musicologists Union.
Bredemeyer died in Berlin. His grave is at Cemetery Pankow III, where many famous people are buried.

Hans Carste
Hans Carste
Hans Friedrich August Carste (5 September 1909 in Frankenthal 11 May 1971 in Bad Wiessee) was a German
composer and conductor. He arrived in Berlin in 1931 after working in Vienna and Breslau. He composed film
music and as well as songs for the stage. Electrola offered him and his orchestra an exclusive recording contract and
he recorded many high quality sides for them. Like so many, Hans Carste joined the Nazi Party in 1933. In 1937
when Ludwig Rth, the Jewish Band Leader emigrated to South Africa, Hans Carste took up the baton. For some
time the Orchestra was still known as the Ludwig (Lewis) Rth Orchester but acknowledged that Carste was the
conductor. Within a short time it became known as the Hans Carste Orchester. In 1942 he was drafted and sent to the
Eastern front. He was badly injured and captured by the Red Army. He was released in 1948 and returned to
Germany. He became one of the musical directors at Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor (RIAS) radio station in
Berlin and once again worked for the stage and the movies. In 1957 he became president of BIEM in Paris. He
withdrew from all activities in 1967 due to illness. One of his best known compositions is the opening tune of the
"Tagesschau" - the TV news broadcast. [1]

Maxim Dessau
Paul Dessau (19 December 1894 28 June 1979) was a German composer and conductor.
Biography
Dessau was born in Hamburg into a musical family. His grandfather, Moses Berend Dessau, was a cantor, his uncle,
Bernhard Dessau, a violinist at the Royal Opera House, Unter den Linden, and his cousin Max Winterfeld became
generally known under the name Jean Gilbert as a composer of operettas.
From 1909 he majored in violin at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin. In 1912 he became rptiteur
at the City Theatre (Stadttheater) in Hamburg. There he studied the works of the composers Felix von Weingartner
and Arthur Nikisch and took classes in composition from Max Julius Loewengard. He was second Kapellmeister at
the Tivoli Theatre in Bremen in 1914 before being drafted for military service in 1915.
After World War I he became conductor at the Intimate Theatre (Kammerspiele), Hamburg, and was rptiteur and
later Kapellmeister at the opera house in Cologne under Otto Klemperer between 1919 and 1923. In 1923 he became
Kapellmeister in Mainz and from 1925 Principal Kapellmeister at the Stdtische Oper Berlin under Bruno Walter.
In 1933 Dessau emigrated to France, and 1939 moved further to the U.S. where initially he lived in New York before
moving to Hollywood. Dessau returned to Germany with his second wife, the writer Elisabeth Hauptmann, and
settled in East Berlin in 1948.
Paul Dessau
Starting in 1952 he taught at the Public Drama School (Staatliche

Schauspielschule) in Berlin-Oberschneweide where he was appointed
to a professorship in 1959. He became a member of the Deutsche
Akademie der Knste Berlin in 1952 and was vice-president of this
institution between 1957 and 1962. He taught many Meisterschler
(pupils in a master class), including Friedrich Goldmann, Reiner
Bredemeyer, Jrg Herchet, Hans-Karsten Raecke, Friedrich Schenker,
Luca Lombardi and Karl Ottomar Treibmann.
16
Dessau's grave in Berlin
From 1954 he was married to the choreographer and director Ruth Berghaus. Their son Maxim Dessau (b. 1954)
studied at the College of Film and Television (Hochschule fr Film und Fernsehen) in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Maxim
Dessau is now a movie director.
Dessau died on 28 June 1979 at the age of 84, in the then East German city of Knigs Wusterhausen, on the outskirts
of Berlin.
Works
Dessau composed operas, scenic plays, incidental music, ballets, symphonies and other works for orchestra, and
pieces for solo instruments as well as vocal music. Since the 1920s he had been fascinated by film music. Among
others he wrote compositions for early movies of Walt Disney, background music for silent pictures and early
German films. While in exile in Paris he wrote the oratorio Hagadah shel Pessach after a libretto by Max Brod. In
the 1950s in collaboration with Bertolt Brecht he focussed on the musical theatre. During that time his operas were
produced. He also wrote Gebrauchsmusik (utility music) for the propaganda of the German Democratic Republic. At
the same time he lobbied for the musical avant-garde (e.g. Witold Lutosawski, Alfred Schnittke, Boris Blacher,
Hans Werner Henze and Luigi Nono).

Frank Duval (born November 22, 1940, Berlin) is a German composer, conductor, record producer, songwriter and
singer.
Born into an artists' family, he studied as an actor and dancer, but also sang with his sister, Maria. By the 1960s,
Duval was also composing music, both orchestral and pop, and his first soundtrack, for an episode of the German
serial Tatort, was broadcast in 1977. From his 1979 first album, Die Schnsten Melodien Aus Derrick und der Alte,
the song "Todesengel" became a moderate hit.
During the 1980s, Duval released several soundtracks, as well as proper artist albums (with occasional lyrical help
from his wife, Kalina Maloyer). He was in the German charts several times, with "Ways" (1983), "Lovers Will
Survive" (1986) and "When You Were Mine" (1987).
Duval wrote songs for Ivan Rebroff, Alexandra, Karin Huebner, Margot Werner, Klaus Lwitsch and Maria Schell.

Since 1994 Stef An, also known as LOPAZZ, has been part of the Heidelberg based HD800 team; he also runs the
multimedia label 800achtspur, and is renowned as a film composer and Mix-Mastering-Engineer, having written,
produced and engineered many internationally acclaimed records and films. In 2001, he had success with Redagain P
when they remixed the Miami Vice & Magnum themes; then, in 2003, Lopazz's self-titled EP was released by Output
Recordings, followed by the singles 'Blood' (including a Tiefschwarz remix) and his first bona fide club hit I Need
Ya (later re-licensed by French fashion label Colette). Its success led to Lopazz remixing Germany's biggest pop act
Xavier Nadoo, while techno legend Sven Vth snapped up I Need Ya for his Sound of the Fourth Season mix CD.
Stefan's relationship with Berlin-based Get Physical Music began when he was commissioned to remix Chelonis R.
Jones' 'I Don't Know'. The label went on to issue Lopazz's own vocal track Migracion, which was subsequently
remixed by Chilean producers Luciano and Ricardo Vilallobos. Releases for Pokerflat, Cocoon and Compost Black
Label followed, along with remixes and productions for the likes of Isolee, DJ T, M.A.N.D.Y., Matthew Dear and

Hanns Eisler
Hanns Eisler
Hanns Eisler (6 July 1898 6 September 1962) was
an Austrian composer.
Family background
Eisler was born in Leipzig, the son of Marie (ne
Fischer) and Rudolf Eisler, a professor of philosophy
at Leipzig. His father was Jewish and his mother was
Lutheran.[1][2] In 1901, the family moved to Vienna.
His brother was a Communist journalist, Gerhart
Eisler.[3][4] His sister was Ruth Fischer (ne Elfriede
Hanns Eisler (left) and Bertolt Brecht, his close friend and
Eisler), a leader of the German Communist Party
collaborator, 1950
(KPD) in the mid-1920s, who later turned into an
anti-communist writing books against her former political affiliation, and even testifying against her brothers before
the HUAC. According to secret information declassified in 2010, Ruth Fischer was a key agent of the American
intelligence service known as "The Pond".
Early years and Bertolt Brecht

During World War I, Hanns Eisler served as a front-line soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army and was wounded
several times in combat. Returning to Vienna after Austria's defeat, he studied from 1919 to 1923 under Arnold
Schoenberg. Eisler was the first of Schoenberg's disciples to compose in the twelve-tone or serial technique. He
married Charlotte Demant in 1920; they separated in 1934. In 1925, he moved to Berlinthen a hothouse of
experimentation in music, theater, film, art and politics. There he became a member of the Communist Party of
Germany and became involved with the November Group. In 1928, he taught at the Marxist Worker's School in
Berlin and his son Georg Eisler, who would grow up to become an important painter, was born. His music became
increasingly oriented towards political themes and, to Schoenberg's dismay, more "popular" in style with influences
drawn from jazz and cabaret. At the same time, he drew close to Bertolt Brecht, whose own turn towards Marxism
happened at about the same time. The collaboration between the two artists lasted for the rest of Brecht's life.
In 1929, Eisler composed the song cycle Zeitungsausschnitte, Op. 11. The piece is dedicated to Margot
Hinnenberg-Lefebre.[5] Though not written in the twelve-tone technique, the piece was perhaps the forerunner of a
musical art style later known as "News Items" musical compositions that parodied a newspaper's content and style,
or that included lyrics lifted directly from newspapers, leaflets, magazines, and other written media of the day.
Eisler's piece parodies a newspaper's layout and content, with songs in the cycle given titles similar to headlines. The
piece offers evidence of Eisler's socialist leanings, as its lyrics indicate the struggles of ordinary Germans who, after
World War I, encountered hardship.[6]
Eisler wrote music for several Brecht plays, including The Decision (Die Manahme) (1930), The Mother (1932) and
Schweik in the Second World War (1957). They also collaborated on protest songs that intervened in the political
turmoil of Weimar Germany in the early 1930s. Their Solidarity Song became a popular militant anthem sung in
street protests and public meetings throughout Europe, and their Ballad of Paragraph 218 was the world's first song
protesting laws against abortion. Brecht-Eisler songs of this period tended to look at life from "below"from the
perspective of prostitutes, hustlers, the unemployed and the working poor. He worked with Brecht and the director
Slatan Dudow on the film Kuhle Wampe which was banned by the Nazis in 1933.
29
Hanns Eisler
In exile
After 1933, Eisler's music and Brecht's poetry were banned by the Nazi Party. Both artists fled, first to Moscow,
where The Decision was produced and staged.[7] Eventually, Eisler and Brecht sought refuge in the United States,
along with other exiles fleeing Nazi Germany. In New York City, Eisler taught composition at the New School and
wrote experimental chamber and documentary music. Moving shortly before World War II to Los Angeles, he
composed several Hollywood film scores, two of whichHangmen Also Die! and None but the Lonely Heartwere
nominated for Oscars.
Also working on Hangmen Also Die! was Bertolt Brecht, who wrote the story along with director Fritz Lang. In
1947, he wrote the book Composing for the Films with Theodor W. Adorno. In several chamber and choral
compositions of this period, Eisler returned to the twelve-tone method he had abandoned in Berlin. His Fourteen
Ways of Describing the Raincomposed for Arnold Schoenberg's 70th birthday celebrationis considered a
masterpiece of the genre.
Eisler's works of the 1930s and 1940s included Deutsche Sinfonie (193557)a choral symphony in eleven
movements based on poems by Brecht and Ignazio Silone[8]and a cycle of art songs published as the Hollywood
Songbook (193843). With lyrics by Brecht, Eduard Mrike, Friedrich Hlderlin and Goethe, it established Eisler's
reputation as one of the 20th century's great composers of German lieder.
The HUAC investigation

Eisler's promising career in the U.S. was interrupted by the Cold War. He was one of the first artists placed on the
Hollywood blacklist by the movie studio bosses. In two interrogations by the House Committee on Un-American
Activities[9], the composer was accused of being "the Karl Marx of music" and the chief Soviet agent in Hollywood.
Among his accusers was his sister Ruth Fischer, who also testified before the House Committee that her other
brother, Gerhart, was a major Communist agent. The Communist press denounced her as a "German Trotskyite."
Among the works that Eisler composed for the Communist Party was the "Comintern March", "The Comintern calls
you/Raise high Soviet banner/In steeled ranks to battle/Raise sickle and hammer."
His supporters
Eisler's supportersincluding his friend Charlie Chaplin and the composers Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland[10] and
Leonard Bernsteinorganized benefit concerts to raise money for his defense fund, but he was deported early in
1948. Folksinger Woody Guthrie protested the composer's deportation in his lyrics for "Eisler on the Go"recorded
fifty years later by Billy Bragg and Wilco on Mermaid Avenue album (1998). In the song, an introspective Guthrie
asked himself what he would do if called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, "I don't
know what I'll do/I don't know what I'll do/Eisler's on the come and go/and I don't know what I'll do."[11]
On departing from the USA

On 26 March 1948, Eisler and his wife, Lou, departed from LaGuardia Airport flying to Prague. Before he left he
read a statement:
"I leave this country not without bitterness and infuriation. I could well understand it when in 1933 the
Hitler bandits put a price on my head and drove me out. They were the evil of the period; I was proud at
being driven out. But I feel heart-broken over being driven out of this beautiful country in this ridiculous
way."
30
Hanns Eisler
In East Germany
Eisler returned to Austria and later moved to Berlin, GDR. Back in
Germany, he composed the national anthem of the German Democratic
Republic, a cycle of cabaret-style songs to satirical poems by Kurt
Tucholsky, and incidental music for theater, films and television, and
party celebrations.
His most ambitious project of the period was the opera Johannes
Faustus on the Faust theme. The libretto, written by Eisler himself,
was published in the fall of 1952. It portrayed Faust as an indecisive
person who betrayed the cause of the working class by not joining the
German Peasants' War. In May 1953, Eisler's libretto was attacked by a
Eisler's grave in Berlin
big article in Neues Deutschland, the SED organ.[12] All of these
disapproved of the negative depiction of Faust as a renegade and
accused the work of being "a slap in the face of German national feeling" and of having "formalistically deformed
one of the greatest works of our German poet Goethe" (Ulbricht). Eisler's opera project was discussed in three of the
bi-weekly meetings "Mittwochsgesellschaft" [Wednsday club] of a circle of intellectuals under the auspices of the
Berlin Academy of Arts beginning 13 May 1953. The last of these meetings took place on Wednesday, 10 June
1952.[13]
A week later the workers rebellion of 17 June 1953 pushed those debates from the agenda. Eisler fell into a
depressive mood, and did not write the music for the opera. In his last work "Ernste Gesnge" (Serious Songs)
written between spring 1961 and August 1962, Eisler worked on his depression, taking up the 20th Congress of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union with its demise of the Stalin cult, as a sign of hope for a future enabling to
"live without fear". Although he continued to work as a composer and to teach at the East Berlin conservatory, the
gap between Eisler and the cultural functionaries of East Germany grew wider in the last decade of his life. During
this period, he befriended musician Wolf Biermann and tried to promote him[14], whose critical attitude towards the
GDR government later led him to be stripped of the GDR citizenship while he was on a concert tour in West
Germany.
Eisler collaborated with Brecht until the latter's death in 1956. He never recovered completely from his friend's
demise and his remaining years were marred by depression and declining health. He died of a heart attack (his
second)[15] in East Berlin and is buried near Brecht in the Dorotheenstadt cemetery.

Harold Faltermeyer (born Harald Faltermeier; October 5, 1952) is a German musician, keyboardist, composer
and record producer.
He is recognized as one of the composers/producers who best captured the zeitgeist of 1980s synthpop in film scores.
He is best known for writing and composing "Axel F" electronic theme for Beverly Hills Cop and the Top Gun
Anthem from the soundtrack for Top Gunboth often imitated, highly influential instrumental hits that to some
extent practically redefined action film scoring in the '80s.
As a session musician, arranger and producer, Faltermeyer has worked with several international pop stars including
Donna Summer, Amanda Lear, Patti LaBelle, Barbra Streisand, Glenn Frey, Blondie, Laura Branigan, La Toya
Jackson, Billy Idol, Jennifer Rush, Alexis, Cheap Trick, Sparks, Bob Seger, Chris Thompson, Bonnie Tyler, Valerie
Claire and Pet Shop Boys.
He has won two Grammy Awards: the first in 1986 for Best Album of original score written for a motion picture or
television special, as a co-writer of the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack; and the second in 1987 for Best Pop
Instrumental Performance with guitarist Steve Stevens for Top Gun Anthem from the soundtrack.
Background
Faltermeyer was born in Munich, Germany, the son of Anneliese (ne Schmidt), a homemaker, and Hugo
Faltermeier, a construction businessman.[1] Encouraged by his parents (the owners of a civil engineering firm), he
started playing piano at the age of 6. At 11, a Nuremberg music professor discovered that Harold was gifted with
absolute pitch. His boyhood years combined training in classical music with a developing interest in rock 'n roll. He
played organ in a rock combo and studied trumpet and piano at the Munich music academy. While waiting to begin
university studies he found work at a recording studio. Within three years he was engineering major classical
sessions for the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label. Then in 1978, Giorgio Moroder recognized his promise
and brought him to Los Angeles to play keyboards and arrange the soundtrack for the film Midnight Express.
Moroder and Faltermeyer continued their collaboration the next decade, producing Donna Summer albums and
several hits for various artists. Soon Faltermeyer was earning an international reputation for both precise
workmanship and trendsetting creativity in his use of synthesizer technology.[2]
Harold Faltermeyer
Soundtrack work
Alongside a busy schedule as a record producer, he became increasingly involved in soundtrack work on Moroder's
scores (Midnight Express, American Gigolo and Foxes) and was soon hired as composer in his own rightusually
composing, performing and producing the complete score as well as a number of pop songs penned for various
artists. Early on he created arguably one of his finest works for 1984's Thief of Heartsa highly sought after CD
with noteworthy electronic scoring and songs for Melissa Manchester, Annabella Lwin, Elizabeth Daily and others.
Then came his big break with the landmark Hip hop / Breakdance influenced score for Beverly Hills Cop featuring
the worldwide hit, the "Axel F" theme (referred to by Faltermeyer himself as the banana theme[3] as it was originally
written for a specific scene where Detroit policeman Axel Foley gives a pair of Beverly Hills police officers the slip
by shoving bananas up their exhaust pipe, causing their car to stall when they try and tail him).
The year after, the Fletch theme expanded on his trademark electronic soundscapes with experimental phase
modulated percussion effects woven into the largely analog synth melodies. He also composed the theme song, "Bit
by Bit", sung by Stephanie Mills.
The full scores of these films were not released on album. Only a handful of additional score tracks complemented
these hits on vinyl: "The Discovery" and "Shoot-out" from Beverly Hills Cop and "Memories" from Top Gun, and
only ever as B-sides on singles. However, The Running Man and Kuffs were graced with full score albums and the
Thief of Hearts and Fletch scores also received reasonably good coverage on their respective soundtrack albums. In
January 2007, La La Land Records finally released a limited edition soundtrack (3000 CD copies) for Tango &
Cash.
In 1987 Faltermeyer recorded an album called Harold F with vocal tracks featuring various guest singers plus "Axel
F" which appears as a bonus track. The song "Bad Guys" is based on the (otherwise unavailable) main theme for
Beverly Hills Cop II.
In 1990 he co-produced the album Behaviour with Pet Shop Boys at his studio near Munich after Neil and Chris
were looking for his "sound", being longtime fans. The album was released later the same year and is considered by
many to be Pet Shop Boys' best album.
Influence
The highly recognizable "Axel F" theme was recorded using five instruments: a Roland Jupiter-8 (lead), a Moog
modular synthesizer 55 (bass), a Roland JX-3P (chord stabs), a Yamaha DX7 (bell/marimba), and a LinnDrum drum
machine. It has been covered by numerous artists and in May 2005 a re-recording of the classic reached number one
in the UK singles chart after being remixed with the Crazy Frog ringtone.
The theme changed the sound of contemporary urban action/comedy, just as the Top Gun Anthem became
synonymous with seductive depictions of working class heroes striving for the top (like Bill Conti's "Rocky theme"
did 10 years earlier).
The music for 1988's flight simulator computer game F/A-18 Interceptor from Electronic Arts was obviously
inspired by the "Top Gun Anthem" and many film scenes, spoof or serious, have been scored in a faux-Top Gun
fashion.
In 1991 Sylvester Levay (himself a past Moroder collaborator) faithfully re-created the theme's atmosphere in his
Hot Shots! parody score (paradoxically, this score was released on CD by Varese Sarabande while the original Top
Gun score has still not been released officially, although in 2006 a bootleg appeared in small circulation among
collectors.)
In many ways, Faltermeyer's work on action films during the 1980s presaged the work that Hans Zimmer would
embody and perpetuate during the mid 1990s. Faltermeyer's style defined the 1980s style of action scoring, heavily
synthesized, very tuneful and rhythmic. Zimmer and his many protgs redefined it for the 1990s and beyond, but
embodied the same kind of hybrid textures that Faltermeyer first laid down in the 1980s.

Harold Faltermeyer
Later career
"After Tango & Cash I made a decision to go back and raise my children in Germany, where I was born",
Faltermeyer said in a 2006 interview for the Tango & Cash soundtrack CD. From his Red Deer Studios Estate in
Munich, Germany, he has continued producing hit records and soundtracks mainly for the German market.
In 2002, he went to Vienna and wrote a musical with Rainhard Fendrich, Wake Up, which played for nearly two
years in Vienna's famous Raimund Theater. The following soundtrack CD employed Copy Control technology and
features an orchestral ouverture as well as 16 songs.
"But now I think it's time to come back where I started from." Faltermeyer has become re-associated with his Los
Angeles agency, Creative Artists Agency, and is looking forward to getting involved again in Hollywood film
scoring. Earlier in 2006, Faltermeyer wrote the in-game soundtrack music for the computer game, Two Worlds.
In late 2009, Faltermeyer was approached by Kevin Smith, director of the action comedy Cop Out starring Bruce
Willis, to do the soundtrack score. Faltermeyer's return to scoring was for this film, which opened in February 2010.

Hartmut Geerken
Hartmut Geerken
Hartmut Geerken (born 15 January 1939 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a German musician, composer, writer,
journalist, playwright, and filmmaker.
Life
Geerken studied orientalism, philosophy, German studies and comparative religion in Tbingen and Istanbul, and
produced a dissertation on Hellmut Ritter. He gave German language courses in Turkey for the first Turkish guest
workers planning to go to Germany. As an employee at the Goethe Institute, he lived in Cairo from 19661972, in
Kabul from 19721979, and in Athens from 19791983. Since then he has lived in Herrsching am Ammersee.
Achievements
Geerken is as artist and arts organizer. As a percussionist, he has collaborated with a variety of free jazz musicians
such as Sun Ra, John Tchicai, Sainkho Namtchylak. As a poet, he is a practitioner of concrete poetry and organizes
events such as the annual Bielefeld New Poetry Colloquium. As an actor, he appeared in six films by Herbert
Achternbusch and appeared in two of Achternbusch's plays at the Munich Kammerspiele. From 19911992, he held
the Chair of Poetics at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen.
Geerken was also dedicated to the memory of the German literati Anselm Ruest. When he was on the trail of the
estate of Victor Hadwiger, Geerken investigated an uninhabited house in southern France, where he instead found
parts of the estate of Ruest, who had died in 1943. Ruest was, along with Mynona, editor of the Stirnerite journal Der
Einzige, which was published in a small edition from 19191925. From the funds of the estate, Geerken found it was
possible to reprint a complete set of Der Einzige, which was published in 1980.
In 1979, while Geerken was living in Afghanistan, Geerken made a study of the ethnomycology of the areas of
Afghanistan in which he traveled, co-authoring two papers on the topic. In the second paper, he states that he had
discovered a tradition of recreational use of the Amanita muscaria use among the Parachi-speaking people of the
Shutul Valley.[1]

Georg Haentzschel
Georg Haentzschel (born in Berlin 23 December 1907, died in Cologne 12 April 1992) was a German pianist,
broadcaster, composer and arranger.
Haentzschel studied at the Stern Conservatoire in Berlin and made a career which eventually left him as the last
remaining representative composer from what he considered the golden age of German film music. He worked
equally happily as a jazz pianist, regularly collaborating with the similarly gifted Peter Igelhoff. He directed the
Deutsche Tanz-und-Unterhaltungsorchester (German Dance and Light Music Orchestra). After the war, he moved to
West Germany and worked in Cologne.
Haentzschel's most famous film score, for the wartime extravaganza Mnchhausen (1943) recalls his mentor Theo
Mackeben. The score is flooded with romantic melody and effective scoring. Representative work may be heard in
many other film scores, such as Via Mala (released 1948), Annelie (1941) and Robinson soll nicht sterben.
He died during an earthquake.[1]

Michael Hoenig
Michael Hoenig (born 4 January 1952 in Hamburg) is a German composer who has composed music for several
movies and games, in addition to two solo albums. In 1996, he was nominated for an Emmy award (best theme song)
for his work on the short-lived sci-fi series Dark Skies.
Early career
As the editor of the underground magazine LOVE in the late sixties, Hoenig was part of the burgeoning progressive
rock scene in Berlin, which fostered bands like Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel and Agitation Free. His interest in
avant-garde music, sound generators and prepared tapes caught the eye of Michael Guenther, the bassist of Agitation
Free, and he joined the band in February 1971. In March 1975, Hoenig was hired to replace Peter Baumann in
Tangerine Dream for an Australian tour and BBC recorded London Royal Albert Hall concert, and subsequently left
Agitation Free, which broke up shortly after. Baumann rejoined Tangerine Dream soon after, and Hoenig went on to
collaborate with Klaus Schulze on the short-lived project, Timewind. In 1976 he had a brief collaboration with
Manuel Gttsching of Ash Ra Tempel; a recording of one of the sessions was released in 1995 under the title "Early
Water". In 1977, he released his first solo album, the highly acclaimed Berlin School classic Departure from the
Northern Wasteland, and left for Los Angeles shortly after it was released.
Film scores/Later career

Hoenig owns a recording studio in Los Angeles and through his company Metamusic Productions, he has composed
the scores for several movies (see filmography below) and television shows. In addition to this, he has composed
music for the extremely popular Baldur's Gate PC games by Bioware. In 1987, Hoenig released his second solo
album, Xcept One. The track Bones on the Beach from the Xcept One album was installed in the roller coaster
CHAOS at Opryland making the attraction the first roller coaster to be synced to music. In 1998 the roller coaster
was removed from Opryland. The track Bones on the Beach has also been used in the similar roller coaster
Revolution at Bobbejaanland, a family park in Lichtaart, Belgium since 2004. In 2008 the roller coaster was
redecorated and renamed to Evolution. Another soundtrack was used until 26th August 2011, but since 27th August
2011 Bones on the Beach is being used again.

Friedrich Hollaender (born Friedrich Hollnder; 18 October 1896 18 January 1976) was a German film
composer and author.
Life and career

He was born in London, where his father, operetta composer Victor Hollaender, worked at the Barnum & Bailey
Circus. Young Friedrich had a solid music and theatre family background: his uncle Gustav was director of the Stern
Conservatory in Berlin, his uncle Felix Hollaender was a well-known novelist and drama critic, who later worked
with Max Reinhardt at the Deutsches Theater.
In 1899 Friedrich's family returned to Germany, his father began teaching at the Stern Conservatory, where his son
became a student in Engelbert Humperdinck's master class. In the evening he played the piano at silent film
performances in local cinemas, developing the art of musical improvisation. By the age of 18 he was employed as a
rptiteur at the New German Theatre in Prague and also was put in charge of troop entertainment at the Western
Front of World War I.
Having finished his studies, he composed music for productions by Max Reinhardt and became involved in cabaret
and wrote music for the film, The Blue Angel (1930). He left Nazi Germany (because he was Jewish)[1] and
emigrated to the United States of America where he wrote the music for over a hundred films, including Destry
Rides Again (1939), A Foreign Affair (1948), The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953 Academy Award nomination) and
Sabrina (1954). He also wrote as "Frederick Hollander", the semi-autobiographical novel Those Torn From Earth
which was released in 1941. Many of his songs were made famous by Marlene Dietrich. He can be seen as the piano
accompanist in A Foreign Affair (on the songs, "Black Market", "Illusions" and "Ruins of Berlin"). He received four
Academy Award nominations for composition. In 1956 he returned to Germany. He was married to Blandine
Ebinger and died in Munich in 1976 and is buried in Waldfriedhof Dahlem.

Michael Jary
Michael Jary
Michael Jary (born Maksymilian Micha Jarczyk in Laurahtte -Siemianowitz (today Siemianowice lskie) on 14
September 1906; died in Munich on 12 July 1988) was a German composer of Polish origin.
Early years
Jary's father worked at the Knigshtte (Chorzw today) iron works and his mother was a tailor. He planned to
become a missionary and went to school at the monastery of the Steyl Missionaries near Neisse (Nysa today) where
he discovered his love of music. At the age of 18 he moved to the conservatory at Beuthen. He directed the church
choir and started to write his first chamber music works that were transmitted on the radio Gliwice. The city theatre
of Neisse and Plauen gave him a position as a second concert master. In 1929 Jary was accepted at the Staatliche
Akademische Musikhochschule at Berlin, meanwhile he made money playing as a pianist at cafs or movies. In 1931
he received the Beethoven-prize of Berlin.
During the Nazi years

When Jarczyk delivered his graduation concert on 8 February 1933, he was bullied by members of the Kampfbund
fr deutsche Kultur. Paul Graener, the new director of the Sternsches Konservatorium denigrated his concert as ...
culture-bolshevistic musical stammer of a Polish Jew! Jarczyk had to go underground for some time and used as a
pseudonym Jackie Leeds for arrangements and Max Jantzen for chansons. Recognizing that his name was a
hindrance to his career, he changed it to Michael Jary.
Sinfonic-type music was his strength. But after he composed his first musical score for a movie,Die groe und die
kleine Welt, he quickly became a secret tip among the professionals. The multiple possibilities of sound track caught
his interest. Swing-arrangements and Jazz were part of his repertoire in spite of governmental diktats. Among others
he originated a cyclus of musical zodiac interpretations. He became an expert in jazz and swing during the thirties.
In 1938 he had his first popular music hit, Roter Mohn. As the director of the Szymanowski-Gedchtniskonzertes in
Berlin he was invited by Ernest Ansermet to Genf. However, the Nazi authorities denied him an exit visa. Forced to
stay in Germany, he wrote, often with the lyricist Bruno Balz, songs for movies that became hits, including: Ich
wei, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn and Davon geht die Welt nicht unter.[1]
After WWII
Shortly before the end of WWII Jary had founded his own ensemble.
Just 19 days after the capitulation his group became the basis for the
new Radio Berlin Tanzorchester (RBT) in East Berlin. He engaged
among others Ilse Werner and Bully Buhlan.[2]
In 1948 he created his own production company, Michael
Jary-Produktion, and maintained an office during the fifties in New
York. He would have liked to have written musical scores for revue
films as he had done in 1943 for the movie Karneval der Liebe. In
1949 he moved to Hamburg, and Jary was very successful as film score
followed film score including Leise rauscht es am Missouri, Das
machen nur die Beine von Dolores, Mki-Boogie, Heut liegt was in der Luft and others. These songs were
interpreted by artists such as Zarah Leander, Rosita Serrano, Evelyn Knneke, Gerhard Wendland, Heinz Rhmann,
and Hans Albers.
50
Michael Jary
By the end of the fifties, Mki, as he was called by his friends, restricted his output and shunned cheap movies. For
the German entry for the Grand Prix 1960 he composed for Heidi Brhl Wir wollen niemals auseinandergehn.
Nobody believed in the song, but today it is one of the greatest successes of the history of the German Schlager.
After this personal victory Jary returned to his roots. He composed the musical Nicole, that was first shown in
Nrnberg in 1963 and would be celebrated later in Eastern Europe. He settled in his final domicile in Switzerland
above the Lake of Lugano. He suffered from three heart attacks in 1973.
Michael Jary died on 12 July 1988 in Munich, the site of his grave is in the Friedhof Ohlsdorf in Hamburg.

producer, known mainly from his work for popular films and television programs.
Biography
Heinz Kiessling studied piano, composition and conducting, after World War II at the Nuremberg Conservatory and

Hermann Kopp
Hermann Kopp
Hermann Kopp (born August 21, 1954 in Stuttgart) is a German composer and musician, presently living in
Barcelona, Spain.
Biography
After moving to Karlsruhe in 1979 he became a member of the German electro-industrial band Keine Ahnung. In the
1980s he released two vinyl records with a sound that can be vaguely classified as electronic minimalism. In 1987 he
participated in the soundtrack of the German horror film Nekromantik, followed in 1989 by music to the movie Der
Todesking and in 1990 to Nekromantik 2. Unlike the song material that tends to be intimist and voluntarily drawing
on the kitsch side, his film scores create uneasy and haunting atmospheres, weaving atonal strings, slow motion
rhythms, moog synthesizers and plain noise into soundtrack form. In 2007, Hermann Kopp released Psicofonico,
abstract violin soundscapes influenced by a Spanish documentary on the Electronic Voice Phenomena. His release
Under A Demons Mask, however, remains closer to his earlier horror scores, developing them into an
individualistic, morbid musical language.
He has been signed to the following labels through his career;
Passiv
Red Stream
Vinyl On Demand
Bataille
Galakthorr
Aesthetic Records
In Other Media
In the movie Der Todesking Hermann Kopp plays a part as a man drowning himself in his bathtub. His name in the
film, Barsch, is an allusion to the German politician Uwe Barschel who was found dead in the bathtub of a hotel in
Geneva, following a political scandal that became popular under the name of Waterkantgate.

Edmund Meisel
Edmund Meisel (August 14, 1894 November 14, 1930) was an Austrian-born composer. He wrote the score to
Walter Ruttmann's Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis (1927), The Battleship Potemkin (1925), and other films of
Sergei Eisenstein.[1] Meisel was one of the more important and pioneering figures in film music. Much of his work
and the evidence of his significance was lost for more than fifty years.
Biography
Meisel was born in Vienna. He began composing incidental music for the stage in the 1920s. Early credits included
the scoring of plays by Bertolt Brecht.[2] His acquaintance with Erwin Piscator led to him writing music for films
soon after. Meisel quickly came to be considered a talented composer, capable of working in a different styles,
encompassing expressionism and jazz, as well as traditional orchestral modes.[2] Writing during the turbulent years
of the Weimar Republic, Meisel demonstrated a wry sense of humor, particularly regarding patriotic songs.[2]
In 1925, Meisel came to prominence with a new score for Sergei Eisenstein's Potemkin, helping to turn the movie
into a major hit from the modest success it had had in Russia. The opportunity arose when the German distributor
decided to capitalize on the unexpected success the movie achieved in Berlin by improving the score. Meisel's music
established an approach to scoring movies that came to dominate filmmaking, especially in Hollywood.[2] Writing in
just 12 days' time, his score more closely paralleled the movie, shot-by-shot and scene-by-scene, in a way that was
novel for the time. Meisel's only guidance from Eisenstein was with the final reel, where Meisel was asked to rely on
rhythm as the dominant element. Eisenstein was apparently pleased with the Meisel's score, hiring him later for
October in 1927.[2]
Meisel wrote full scores for Arnold Fanck's The Holy Mountain in 1926 and in 1927, was the composer on Berlin:
Symphony of a Great City, writing a score to be played by an orchestra of 75 musicians. Meisel was so influential, he
was sometimes credited simply with his last name.[2] Meisel also wrote articles on film composition and the
performance of his scores, a helpful resource for scholars. Although his name was known, Meisel's score to
Potemkin was lost, and wasn't reconstructed until the 1990s, leading to renewed interest in his music.[2]
Meisel died in Berlin in 1930, at the age of 36.
Meisel's niece was the writer and member of the German Resistance, Hilde Meisel.

Ludwig Schmidseder
Ludwig Schmidseder (24 August 1904, in Passau 21 June 1971, in Munich) was a German composer and pianist
of the "Light Muse". Several of his Schlager compositions are still popular tunes today.
The young Schmidseder followed his father's wishes and trained as a banker, whilst taking piano lessons in secret.
He furthered his musical education at the Munich Conservatorium, then left for South America in 1926, ending up in
Rio de Janeiro. Starting out as a dishwasher, he went on to become an entertainer and play in a trio on ocean cruises.
Schmidseder composed music for the trio, and developed into a virtuoso piano player.
From 1930 he worked in Berlin, composing film music, creating operettas and writing more than 500 songs, some of
which became much-loved hits. He moved from being a bar pianist (until 1936) to being the house composer at the
old Berlin Metropol-Theatre. His operetta Die Oder Keine (That One or No One) was performed more than 600
times.
Schmidseder was not Jewish, and so his music was not banned from being performed by the Nazi campaign to
abolish "decadent" music. Given that many operetta composers were Jewish, and thus unable to perform their works,
Schmidseder became one of the most popular German composers of light music at the time.
After World War II, Schmidseder continued to compose film music and appear in films. The corpulent cook would
later became famous as a TV cook and produced a book of recipes.

Willy Schmidt-Gentner (6 April 1894 12 February 1964) was one of the most successful German composers of
film music in the history of German-language cinema. He moved to Vienna in 1933. At his most productive, he
scored up to 10 films a year, including numerous classics and masterpieces of the German and Austrian cinema.
Life
Schmidt-Gentner was born in Neustadt am Rennsteig in Thuringia, Germany. During his childhood he learnt the
violin and took lessons in composition from Max Reger. After World War I Schmidt-Gentner worked as a civil
servant checking that cinema owners were paying their full taxes. Through one of his clients he got a position as a
band leader at film theatre performances. This raised his interest in films and as early as 1922 he produced his first
composition to accompany a silent film. He performed many of his new pieces himself on the piano during films. He
was also already responsible at this period for the sound tracks of a number of German classic films, for example
Alraune (1928), Die weisse Hlle vom Piz Pal (1929) and Hokuspokus (1930)
With the arrival of sound films he quickly became one of the most sought-after filmscore composers in Germany, so
that for a time he was scoring up to 10 films a year. He had a preference for light comedies and cheerful musical
romances, but occasionally he took on more heavyweight productions with political overtones, for example the
National Socialist propaganda film Wien 1910 (1943) or the historical film Spionage (1955) about the k. u. k. spy
Colonel Redl.
In 1933 he moved to Vienna, where he directed his only two films, Die Pompadour (1935) and Prater (1936), for the
company Mondial-Film. For Sascha-Film he composed the music for some of the greatest specimens of the Wiener
Film genre, among others Maskerade and Hohe Schule (both 1934). After the Anschluss (the annexation of Austria
to Germany) he became the "house composer" for the National Socialist-owned Wien-Film, which had developed
out of the former Sascha-Film. For them he scored not only their many escapist romantic comedies, but also some of
their few overt propaganda films such as Heimkehr (1941), Wien 1910 (1942) or Das Herz mu schweigen (1944).
He was also repeatedly commissioned by the top directors of wartime Vienna, Willi Forst and Gustav Ucicky, whom
he already knew from previous work, to write scores for their productions, such as Der Postmeister (1940), Operette
(1940), Wiener Blut (1942) and Wiener Mdeln (1943/1949).
After the end of the war Schmidt-Gentner remained loyal to Vienna and successfully continued his composing career
for many more films, predominantly musicals set in Austria, until he retired in 1955. Altogether he composed the
63
music for about 200 films. He died in Vienna on 12 February 1964.

Leonid Soybelman (born 20 July 1966 in Bli, USSR (now Moldova)) is a Berlin-based musician and film
composer of Jewish origin, leader of the band Ne Zhdali.[1] The guitarist and singer, he also collaborated with Alec
Kopyt in the "Poza" project, with bands Auktyon, The Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet and many others.
His musical style has roots from eastern European traditional Yiddish folk music, yet is played in more modern
arrangements on the electric guitar, often accompanied by a band. His work, especially with Ne Zhdali, is well
known in Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union.
Originally from Moldavia, he grew up in Tallinn, USSR (now Estonia), where he founded in the late 1980s the band
Ne Zhdali together with his classmate Ilya Komarov.[1] Later Soybelman moved to Berlin, Germany and Komarov to
Zrich, Switzerland.[2] In the 1990s they reunited with Ne Zhdali in Western Europe, continuing touring and
producing new albums.
As frontman of "Kletka Red" he performed together with Tony Buck, Andy Ex and Joe Williamson. Their album
Hijacking was produced by John Zorn at his label Tzadik Records in the "Radical Jewish Culture" series.
Soybelman composed the music for the Czech film Something like happiness (Czech: tst) 2005, portraying the
melancholy lives of four friends who grew up together in the same block of flats in a former industrial town in
northern Bohemia. The somewhat bleak backdrop of the film fits snugly with Soybelman's sombre and heartfelt
music.

Born
23 May 1965
Wuppertal, West Germany
Occupation film director, screenwriter, film composer
Tom Tykwer (German: [tkv]; born 23 May 1965) is a German film director, screenwriter, and composer. He is best
known internationally for directing Run Lola Run (1998), Heaven (2002), Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006),
The International (2009) and co-directing Cloud Atlas (2012).
Early life
Tykwer was born in Wuppertal, West Germany. He was fascinated by film from an early age. He started making
amateur Super 8 films at the age of eleven and later helped out at a local arthouse cinema to see more films,
including those he was too young to buy tickets for. After graduating from high school, he unsuccessfully applied to
numerous film schools around Europe and moved to Berlin, where he worked as a projectionist. In 1987, at the age
of 22, he became the programmer of the Moviemento cinema and was known to German directors as a highly
respected film buff.[1]
Career
In Berlin, Tykwer met and befriended the filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim, who urged him to create stories from his
own experience and suggested that Tykwer record arguments with his girlfriend at the time, and turn them into a
short film. Because (1990) was screened at the Hof Film Festival[2] and well received by the audience, which
inspired Tykwer to continue pursuing filmmaking. He made a second short film, Epilog (1992), that plunged him
into personal financial debt, but gained him valuable technical filmmaking experience. Tykwer wrote the screenplay
forand directedhis first feature film, Deadly Maria, which aired on German television and saw a limited
theatrical release in Germany and the international film festival circuit.
In 1994, Tykwer founded the production company X Filme Creative Pool with Stefan Arndt, Wolfgang Becker, and
Dani Levy. Tykwer and Becker wrote the screenplay for Life Is All You Get while working on Tykwer's second
feature, Winter Sleepers (1997), a much bigger and more complex production than Deadly Maria. Winter Sleepers

brought Tykwer to the attention of German cineastes and film festivals, but Tykwer was struggling financially. He
knew he needed a new film, and the result was Run Lola Run (1998), which became the most successful German
film of 1998, scored $7 million at the US box office, and elevated Tykwer to international fame. As Lola was
becoming a success worldwide, Tykwer was already at work on his next film, The Princess and the Warrior, shot in
his home town of Wuppertal. The film centered on a love story between a nurse and a former soldier.
Miramax produced his next film, Heaven (2002), based on a screenplay by the late Polish filmmaker, Krzysztof
Kielowski. It was shot in English, starred Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi, and filmed in Turin and Tuscany. He
was approached by French producers to film a short contribution to Paris, je t'aime (2006), a film comprising 20
short films by many famous directors depicting love in Paris. Tykwer shot the 10-minute short film, True, with
Natalie Portman and Melchior Beslon. He shot the film quickly with almost no pre-production, and the result was a
tiny masterpiece that Tykwer later said, "symbolises an entire life for me, in just ten minutes."[3] Tykwer's next film
was an adaptation of the novel Perfume by the German novelist Patrick Sskind, and was filmed in the Spanish cities
of Figueras, Girona and Barcelona. Tykwer later made his Hollywood debut with the big-budgeted 2009 conspiracy
thriller The International, starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts, which was shot in several locations ranging from
Berlin, Milan, New York, and Istanbul. The film received a lukewarm reception from the public to critics alike.
Pale 3
Since Winter Sleepers, the music for all of Tykwer's films (with the exception of Heaven) have been composed by
Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil, and Tykwer himself, unusual for a film director. The trio named Pale 3, originally a
film scoring group, expanded to produce music unrelated to film.

Franz Waxman
Franz Waxman
Franz Waxman (24 December 1906 24 February 1967) was a German-American composer known primarily for
his work in the film music genre. Waxman was the composer of such film scores as The Bride of Frankenstein
(1935), Rebecca (1940), and Rear Window (1954). In addition to film music, Waxman was also a composer of
concert works including his oratorio Joshua (1959), and the work for orchestra, chorus, and childrens chorus The
Song of Terezin (1965), based upon poetry written by children in the Theresienstadt concentration camp during
World War II.[1] Waxman also founded the Los Angeles Music Festival in 1947 with which Waxman conducted a
number of west coast premiers by fellow film composers, and concert composers alike.[2]
Early life (1906-1934)

Waxman was born Franz Wachsmann in Knigshtte (Chorzw) to jewish parents in the German Empire's
Prussian Province of Silesia (now in Poland). At the age of three Waxman suffered a serious eye injury involving
boiling water tipped from a stove, which permanently impaired his vision.
In 1923, at age 16, Waxman enrolled in the Dresden Music Academy and studied composition and conducting.
Waxman lived from the money he made playing popular music and managed to put himself through school.[3] While
working as a pianist with the Weintraub Syncopaters, a dance band, Waxman met Frederick Hollander, who
eventually led Waxmans introduction to Bruno Walter.[4]
Waxman worked as an orchestrator for the German film industry, including Hollanders score for The Blue Angel in
1930. Waxmans first dramatic score came in 1934 for the film Liliom. In the same year Waxman was attacked by
Nazi sympathizers in Berlin, precipitating his move with his wife to Paris.[5] Soon after arriving in Paris, and
observing the encroaching German armies, Waxman moved again, this time to Hollywood.
Film music and the Los Angeles Music Festival (1935-1949)

In Hollywood Waxman met James Whale, who had been highly impressed by Waxmans work for Liliom.
Waxmans breakout score The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) followed. Its success led to the young composers
appointment as Head of Music at Universal Studios.[6] Waxman, however, was more interested in composition than
musical direction for film, and in 1936 he left Universal to become a composer at MGM.[7] Waxman scored a
number of pictures of the next several years, but the score that made him famous, came in 1940 with Alfred
Hithcocks Rebecca. Because of his success with Bride of Frankenstein Waxman was frequently called to work on
scores of horror or suspense, and Rebecca was the culmination of the genre for Waxman.[8]
Rebecca was Hitchcocks first film made in Hollywood, and thus it was the first time he was allowed a full
symphonic score.[9] David Selznick financed the film at the same time he was making Gone With the Wind. Selznick
had asked Hitchcock to leave England to come work on the film.[10] Waxmans score for Rebecca is eerie and
ethereal, often times setting the mood and as Jack Sullivan put it, becoming a soundboard for the subconscious.[11]
In 1943 Waxman left MGM and moved to Warner Brothers, where he was worked along side such great film
composers as Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. A period of extended composition followed, including
such films as Mr. Skeffington (1944) and Objective, Burma! (1945).[12] However, his time at Warner Brothers did
not last long and by 1947 Waxman had left Warner Brothers to become a freelance film composer, taking only the
jobs he wanted rather than being appointed by the studio.[13]
1947 brought with it another major development in Waxmans career: he formed the Los Angeles Music Festival for
which he served as music director and conductor for the next twenty years, until his death in 1967.[14] Waxmans
goal with the LA Music Festival was to bring the thriving town to European cultural standards, according to Tony
Thomas.[15] In addition to performing the work of great masters such as Stravinsky, he also collaborated with his
colleagues, such as Miklos Rozsa, conducting his Violin Concerto.[16]
72
Franz Waxman
In 1948 Waxman scored the film Sorry, Wrong Number, which climaxes with the use of a passacaglia thus
highlighting Waxmans highly inventive use of form for film.[17] Waxman had used classical forms before, the
climactic Creation cue from Bride of Frankenstein (1935) is as Christopher Palmer puts it is in effect a fantasia on
one note.[18] A climactic scene in Objective, Burma! (1945) was scored fugally, and this would become one of
Waxmans trademarks, returning in Spirit of St. Louis (1957) and Taras Bulba (1962).[19]
Sunset Boulevard (1950-1959)

1950 brought with it Waxmans Academy Award for Sunset Boulevard. The score is fast paced and powerful,
utilizing various techniques to highlight the insanity of Norma Desmond, including low pulsing notes (first heard in
The Bride of Frankenstein) and frequent trills. According to Mervyn Cooke, Richard Strausss Opera Salome was the
inspiration for the wild trills heard during Desmonds insane final performance.[20]
In 1951 Waxman became the first composer to win the Academy Award two years in a row, this time for the film A
Place in the Sun. However, while awards for film music highlighted the beginning of the 1950s, the 50s is also the
decade during which Waxman began to write serious works for the concert hall. 1955 brought with it the Sinfonietta
for Strings and Timpani and 1959 saw the completion of Waxmans oratorio Joshua.[21] Composed to commemorate
the death of Waxmans wife,[22] Joshua with its strong Hebrew influences and extensive use of form is a powerful
example of Waxmans compositional powers by the end of the 1950s.
Later life (1960-1967)

Waxmans later life continued to see extreme growth as a composer. Christopher Palmer writes that at the time of his
death in 1967, Waxman was at the Zenith of his powers.[23] Waxmans output in the 1960s was perhaps more
subdued than that which came before it, however he did write one of his great masterpieces, Taras Bulba in 1962.
Waxman worked on several television shows, including Gunsmoke, in 1966. Even so, the true masterpiece of
Waxmans life appeared in 1965, The Song of Terezin. Written based upon poetry by children trapped in a Nazi
concentration camp.[24] Perhaps Waxmans deep spiritual connection to the subject came from his own encounters
with Nazism on a Berlin street in 1934, but whatever the reason for Waxmans deep commitment to the subject, The
Song of Terezin stands as the exemplary work of the composers life, and seems to be one of the great-unsung
concert works of the twentieth century. Composed for mixed chorus, childrens chorus, soprano soloist, and
orchestra, Terezin is in many ways the suggestion of a religious experience.
Waxmans career ended with his death from cancer in February of 1967, two months after his sixtieth birthday.[25]
He leaves a legacy of over 150 film scores and an abundant collection of concert works.
Legacy
Some of Waxman's music has been featured on commercial recordings, both on LP and CD. Charles Gerhardt and
the National Philharmonic Orchestra played highlights from various Waxman scores for an RCA Victor recording in
the early 1970s that utilized Dolby surround sound.
The American Film Institute ranked Waxman's score for Sunset Boulevard #16 on their list of the greatest film
scores. His scores for the following scores were also nominated for the list:
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)

Herbert Windt
Herbert Windt (15 September 1894, Senftenberg, Brandenburg 2 November 1965, Deisenhofen, now a part of
Oberhaching, Bavaria) was a German composer who became one of the most significant film score composers of the
Third Reich. He was best known for his collaborations with the director Leni Riefenstahl on films such as Triumph
of the Will.
Biography
Windt studied at the Sternsches Konservatorium in Berlin but left to enlist in the army at the start of World War I.
Severely wounded, he spent two years in hospital, during which he began composing chamber music.
In 1920 Herr Windt received a grant to study with the renowned Franz Schreker in the composer's master class at the
Berlin Academy of Music. Windt joined the NSDAP in 1931. A grant by the government of the Weimar Republic
led to his opera "Andromache, which was first performed in 1932. An UFA film producer in the audience took notice
of Windt's music. Windt was offered a commission to write the music for UFA's 1933 film "Morgenrot" (Red
Morning), a story about a gallant World War I U-boat crew.
A student of Franz Schreker, Windt became one of the most significant film score composers of the Third Reich
along with Wolfgang Zeller, Michael Jary, Franz Grothe, and Georg Haentzschel. He composed music for several
Nazi public events and radio programs. He was best known for his collaborations with Leni Riefenstahl, the director
of Triumph of the Will (1934/35), Olympia (1938), and Tiefland (1945/54), but he also worked with directors like
Wolfgang Liebeneiner (Die Entlassung), Georg Wilhelm Pabst (Paracelsus), Frank Wisbar (Die Unbekannte,
Fhrmann Maria, Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?), and Gustav Ucicky (Morgenrot).
Windt's film scores for propaganda films drew the attention of the sociologist Siegfried Kracauer, who analysed the
composer's works in the tracts From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film and Theory of
Film: The Redemption of Physical Reality.

Despite the warm reception for his music in Nazi party circles, Herbert Windt himself fell into disfavor with the
rulers of Germany in that period. He was completely cleared in the post-war de-Nazification trials.[1]

Hans Florian Zimmer (German pronunciation: [hans floian tsm]; born 12 September 1957) is a German film
composer and music producer. He has composed music for over 100 films, including award winning film scores for
The Lion King (1994), Crimson Tide (1995), Gladiator (2000), The Last Samurai (2003), The Dark Knight (2008)
and Inception (2010).
Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head
of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and works with other composers through the company which he
founded, Remote Control Productions.[1]
Zimmer's works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has
received four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Classical BRIT Award, and an Academy Award. He was also
named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph.[2]
Early life
Zimmer was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. As a young child, he lived in Knigstein-Falkenstein, where he
played the piano at home, but had piano lessons only briefly as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons.[3] He
moved to London as a teenager, where he attended Hurtwood House school.[4] In an interview with the German
television station ZDF in 2006, he commented: "My father died when I was just a child, and I escaped somehow into
the music and music has been my best friend."[5]
Hans Zimmer
Early career
Zimmer began his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the 1970s, with the band Krakatoa.[6] He worked
with The Buggles, a New Wave band formed in 1977 with Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley.
Zimmer can be seen briefly in The Buggles' music video for the 1979 song "Video Killed the Radio Star".[7] After
working with The Buggles, he started to work for the Italian group Krisma, a New Wave band formed in 1976 with
Maurizio Arcieri and Christina Moser. He was a featured synthesist for Krismas third album, Cathode Mamma. He
has also worked with the band Helden (with Warren Cann from Ultravox).[8] Both Zimmer (on keyboards) and Cann
(on drums), were invited to be part of the Spanish group Mecano for a live performance in Segovia (Spain) in 1984.
Two songs from this concert were included in the "Mecano: En Concierto" album released in 1985 only in Spain. In
1980 Zimmer co-produced a single, "History of the World, Part 1," with, and for, UK Punk band The Damned,
which was also included on their 1980 LP release, "The Black Album," and carried the description of his efforts as
"Over-Produced by Hans Zimmer."
While living in London, Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air-Edel Associates.[8] In the 1980s, Zimmer
partnered with Stanley Myers, a prolific film composer who wrote the scores for over sixty films. Zimmer and Myers
cofounded the Londonbased Lillie Yard recording studio. Together, Myers and Zimmer worked on fusing the
traditional orchestral sound with electronic instruments.[9] Some of the films on which Zimmer and Myers worked
are Moonlighting (1982), Success is the Best Revenge (1984), Insignificance (1985), and My Beautiful Launderette
(1985). Zimmer's first solo score was Terminal Exposure for director Nico Mastorakis in 1987, for which he also
wrote the songs. Zimmer acted as score producer for the 1987 film The Last Emperor, which won the Academy
Award for Best Original Score.[8]
One of Zimmer's most durable works from his time in the United Kingdom is the theme song for the television game
show Going for Gold, which he composed with Sandy McClelland in 1987. In an interview with the BBC, Zimmer
said: "Going For Gold was a lot of fun. It's the sort of stuff you do when you don't have a career yet. God, I just felt
so lucky because this thing paid my rent for the longest time."[10]
Hollywood film scoring

A turning point in Zimmer's career occurred with the 1988 film Rain Man.[9] Hollywood director Barry Levinson
was looking for someone to score Rain Man, and his wife heard the soundtrack CD of the anti-Apartheid drama A
World Apart, for which Zimmer had composed the music. Levinson was impressed by Zimmer's work, and hired him
to score Rain Man.[11] In the score, Zimmer uses synthesizers (mostly a Fairlight CMI) mixed with steel drums.
Zimmer explained that "It was a road movie, and road movies usually have jangly guitars or a bunch of strings. I
kept thinking don't be bigger than the characters. Try to keep it contained. The Raymond character doesn't actually
know where he is. The world is so different to him. He might as well be on Mars. So, why don't we just invent our
own world music for a world that doesn't really exist?".[12] Zimmers score for Rain Man was nominated for an
Academy Award in 1989, and the film won four Academy Awards including Best Picture.[13]
A year after Rain Man, Zimmer was asked to compose the score for Bruce Beresford's Driving Miss Daisy which,
like Rain Man, won an Academy Award for Best Picture. Driving Miss Daisys instrumentation consisted entirely of
synthesizers and samplers, played by Zimmer. According to an interview with Sound On Sound magazine in 2002,
the piano sounds heard within the score come from the Roland MKS20, a rackmount synthesizer. Zimmer joked: "It
didn't sound anything like a piano, but it behaved like a piano."[14]
1991's Thelma & Louise soundtrack by Zimmer featured the trademark slide guitar performance by Pete Haycock on
the "Thunderbird" theme in the film. As a teenager, Zimmer was a fan of Haycock, and their collaboration on film
scores includes K2 and Drop Zone.[15]
For the 1992 film The Power of One, Zimmer traveled to Africa in order to use African choirs and drums in the
recording of the score. On the strength of this work, Walt Disney Animation Studios approached Zimmer to compose
79
Hans Zimmer
the score for the 1994 film The Lion King. This was to be his first score for an animated film. Zimmer said that he
had wanted to go to South Africa to record parts of the soundtrack, but was unable to visit the country as he had a
police record there "for doing 'subversive' movies" after his work on The Power of One. Disney studio bosses
expressed fears that Zimmer would be killed if he went to South Africa, so the recording of the choirs was organized
during a visit by Lebo M.[16] Zimmer won numerous awards for his work on The Lion King, including an Academy
Award for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys. In 1997, the score was adapted into a Broadway
musical version which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1998.[17][18] As of April 2012, the musical version
of The Lion King is the highest grossing Broadway show of all time, having grossed $853.8 million.[19]
Zimmer's score for Crimson Tide (1995) won a Grammy Award for the main theme, which makes heavy use of
synthesizers in place of traditional orchestral instruments. For The Thin Red Line (1998), Zimmer said that the
director Terrence Malick wanted the music before he started filming, so he recorded six and a half hours of
music.[12] Zimmer's next project was The Prince of Egypt (1998), which was produced by DreamWorks Animation.
He introduced Ofra Haza, an Israeli Yemenite singer, to the directors, and they thought she was so beautiful that they
designed one of the characters in the film to look like her.[12]
Work: 2000present
In the 2000s, Zimmer has composed scores for Hollywood blockbuster films including Gladiator (2000), Black
Hawk Down and Hannibal (2001), The Last Samurai (2003), Madagascar (2005), The Da Vinci Code (2006) The
Simpsons Movie (2007), Angels & Demons (2009) and Sherlock Holmes (2009). While writing the score for The Last
Samurai, Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely limited. He began doing extensive
research, but the more he studied, the less he felt he knew. Finally, Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for
feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about Japanese music.[12]
During the scoring of The Last Samurai in early 2003, Zimmer was approached by the producer Jerry Bruckheimer,
with whom he had worked previously on Crimson Tide, The Rock and Pearl Harbor. Bruckheimer had finished
shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, but was unhappy with the music composed for the
film by Alan Silvestri and wanted a replacement score.[20] Bruckheimer wanted Zimmer to rescore the film, but due
to his commitments on The Last Samurai, the task of composing and supervising music for Pirates of the Caribbean:
The Curse of the Black Pearl was given to Klaus Badelt, one of Zimmer's colleagues at Media Ventures. Zimmer
provided some themes that were used in the film, although he is not credited on screen.[21][22] Zimmer was hired as
the composer for the three subsequent films in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006),
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011),
collaborating with Rodrigo y Gabriela.[23]
For the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, "The Daily Variety" reported that Zimmer purchased an out-of-tune piano for
200 dollars and used it throughout the scoring process because of its "quirkiness".[24] For the 2011 sequel Sherlock
Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Zimmer and director Guy Ritchie incorporated authentic Roma gypsy music, which
they researched by visiting Slovakia, Italy and France. The gypsy music in the film is played by Roma virtuoso
musicians.[25][26]

Hans Zimmer in 2008
Zimmer is also noted for his work on the scores of Christopher Nolan's
Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008), on which he
collaborated with James Newton Howard.[10] For the soundtrack of
The Dark Knight, Zimmer decided to represent the character of The
Joker by a single note played on the cello by his long-time colleague
Martin Tillman. Zimmer commented "I wanted to write something
people would truly hate."[27] The scores for these films were
disqualified from receiving Academy Award nominations for Best
Original Score due to too many composers being listed on the cue
sheet.[28] Zimmer succeeded in reversing the decision not to nominate
The Dark Knight in December 2008, arguing that the process of
creating a modern film score was collaborative, and that it was
important to credit a range of people who had played a part in its
production.[29] Zimmer explained his approach to scoring with other
musicians in an interview with Soundtrack.net in 2006:
"Originally I had this idea that it should be possible to create some kind of community around this kind
of work, and I think by muddying the titles not having "you are the composer, you are the arranger,
you are the orchestrator" it just sort of helped us to work more collaboratively. It wasn't that important
to me that I had "score by Hans Zimmer" and took sole credit on these things. It's like Gladiator: I gave
Lisa Gerrard the co-credit because, even though she didn't write the main theme, her presence and
contributions were very influential. She was more than just a soloist, and this is why I have such a
problem with specific credits."[30]
Zimmer works with other composers through his company Remote Control Productions, formerly known as Media
Ventures. His studio in Santa Monica, California has an extensive range of computer equipment and keyboards,
allowing demo versions of film scores to be created quickly.[31] His colleagues at the studio have included Harry
Gregson-Williams, James Dooley, Geoff Zanelli, Henning Lohner, Steve Jablonsky, Mark Mancina, John Van
Tongeren, John Powell and Thomas J. Bergersen.
In October 2000, Zimmer performed live in concert for the first time with an orchestra and choir at the 27th Annual
Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent.[32] He has received a range of honors and awards, including the
Lifetime Achievement Award in film Composition from the National Board of Review, the Frederick Loewe Award
in 2003 at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, ASCAPs Henry Mancini Award for Lifetime Achievement,
and BMI's Richard Kirk Award for lifetime achievement in 1996. Recent work includes the Spanish language film
Casi Divas,[33] Sherlock Holmes, The Burning Plain (2009), and Inception (2010). He composed the theme for the
television boxing series The Contender, and worked with Lorne Balfe on the music for Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 2, which was his first video game project.[34] Zimmer also collaborated with composers Borislav Slavov
and Tilman Sillescu to create the score for the video game Crysis 2.[35]
In December 2010, Zimmer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He dedicated the award to his publicist
and long term friend Ronni Chasen, who had been shot dead in Beverly Hills the previous month.[36]
In 2012, Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy Awards with Pharrell Williams of The
Neptunes.[37] He also composed a new version of the theme music for ABC World News.[38]
Zimmer also composed the score for The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman
trilogy. The film was released in July 2012.[39] Zimmer described himself as "devastated" in the aftermath of the
2012 Aurora shooting, which occurred at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises, commenting "I just feel so
incredibly sad for these people." He recorded a track entitled "Aurora", a choral arrangement of a theme from the
Dark Knight Rises soundtrack, to raise money for the victims of the shooting.[40]
