Wanna experience something that gives me pure joy? Watch the beginning of 'how to marry a millionaire'!
It showcases the talents of a full orchestra, playing all types of movie sound fx! I mean it! Their music induced such a clear picture of just the type of movement it might accompany or enhance in a movie. A saucy saunter (enter Marilyn Monroe) introduced with bassy strings and horns. Representing a quick moment of panic, here come the scampering sounds of the winds section accompanied by percussion....
Oh my goddess, please give special attention to the percussionists in the background; keeping everything bouncy and lively. Reminding me of Tom & Jerry cartoons!
Big powerful strings and horns, playful clarinet solo's! Just amazing how well they can tell an active, moving, flowing narrative with their music. Quite admirable.
Anyways... Pure joy! Music AS storytelling!!! I hope you like, but I don't care if you don't. ;)
By the by, if you happen to like the intro, stick around for the whole movie! Now available on NETFLIX!
