Hall of Scores

Composer Tributes

Dedicated to the composers we return to again and again

These are the Hall of Scores' most honored composers — the artists whose music has carried us through darkened theatres and quiet evenings alike. We honor them here not for trophies or box office, but for what their works have meant to us over the years.

Richard Harvey

b. 1953

For a craftsman's gift with fantasy and folklore, and for scores that feel hand-made — recorder, strings and story in perfect accord.

Trevor Jones

b. 1949

For the sweep and swagger of his adventure writing, and for themes that made the impossible feel close enough to touch.
