Chivalry is not dead this week on “Picture Perfect,” as we listen to music from movies set in the Middle Ages. The term “chivalry” conjures images of knights in armor, of courtly behavior, of bravery, honor, courtesy, moral virtue and willingness to defend the weak. For the average filmmaker and moviegoer, that likely translates into spectacle and adventure.
We’ll hear scores that celebrate or circumvent the code, with selections from “The Warlord” by Jerome Moross, “El Cid” by Miklós Rózsa, “Lionheart” by Jerry Goldsmith and “The Adventures of Robin Hood” by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
As always, we go on a crusade for great film music this week, on “Picture Perfect,” this Friday evening at 6 ET. If you miss it, you can enjoy it later as a webcast at http://www.wwfm.org.
