Sam Lipman: Themes from an Imaginary Film (2014)
Themes From An Imaginary Film is my first serious attempt at composing for full orchestra. Upon arriving at
UT, I wanted to take advantage of the incredible orchestras here . Themes is a simple work in ternary form, it
features two slower outer sections framing a lighter, quicker middle section. Themes draws upon classic film
music genre, inspired by work such as those by John Williams, James Horner and Thomas Newman, with a
couple of Prokofiev quotations thrown in for good measure (see if you can figure out which moments; a clue:
his Fifth Symphony, 2nd and 3rd movements ). The first section was inspired by the incredible moments of the
birth of my daughter in 2011. The second section describes the ensuing pandemonium in our home shortly
after, and the final section represents our collective victory over the difficulties of the situation. I really hope
you enjoy the piece.
