RE: More important than the imagery in terms of manipulating the audience

Posted by neillipes628 on January 30, 2013 at 16:46:59:

Ok lets start with my favorite studio, Universal Pictures. I happen to be a Universal Pictures devotee (from the IMP days to 1936 when the Laemmles were forced out) and Laemmle family historian. That being said.....where to start? An excellent place would be with composer Heinz Roemheld..who working in a theater in Milwaukee composing music (for the pit orchestra)for the Universal film The Phantom of The Opera. Universal head Carl Laemmle, Sr liked what he heard and offered the young composer a position in Berlin at another Laemmle theatre..........shortly thereafter Roemheld was brought to California to head the music dept........he eschewed the usual Tin Pan Alley tune smiths, instead embracing the classical masters and their standard repertoire......Liszt, Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven and others........listen to most of Universals product during the 1930's.......and one will hear snippets of the great masters.
