Citius! Altius! Fortius!
This week on “Picture Perfect,” to coincide with the Summer Games in Paris, we’ll get the blood pumping, with selections from Olympic opening ceremonies and television broadcasts.
Featured composers with include Leo Arnaud (a Ravel pupil, who worked on “The Wizard of Oz” and went on to write THE classic Olympic theme), Angelo Badalamenti (David Lynch’s composer of choice), Basil Poledouris (composer of “Conan the Barbarian” and “The Hunt for Red October”), and John Williams (‘nuff said).
In addition, there will be a suite from the Olympic documentary “16 Days of Glory,” by Lee Holdridge (recipient of seven Emmys and a Grammy).
We’ll be shoveling in the Wheaties and going for the gold, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies – or at the very least music by film composers – now in syndication on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
