I was wondering who you think ( film composer) would be a good canidate to write concert music? I wonder sometimes about the new crop of film composers and if they are capable of sustaining a thirty or forty minute symphony. When I say sustain, I mean develop a theme or motif for the entirety of a work. Could Zimmer do it? Elfman? I think most of the European film composers are concert hall composers also. What about concert hall composers that could write film music? I think John Adams, Michael Torke, Lowell Lieberman, ect. would make fanstastic film composers. So much of Hollywood music is un-original and cliche. The concert hall guys have an original take on things. In fact, word on the street is that an experimental composer is writing music for Gibson's Passion.
