Alan Silvestri
Uit HitStory, de popencyclopedie van School of Rock · Artiest
Alan Silvestri (geboren in 1950 in New York) begon als jazzgitarist en schreef in de jaren zeventig muziek voor de politieserie CHiPs. Robert Zemeckis vroeg hem voor Romancing the Stone (1984), en daarna voor bijna al zijn films. In Back to the Future (1985) klinkt een groot orkest met een heldhaftige koperfanfare, die de reis door de tijd een avontuurlijk gevoel geeft. Predator (1987) heeft juist harde, ritmische percussie. Voor Forrest Gump (1994) schreef hij een eenvoudig pianothema dat bij de zwevende veer hoort. Later werd hij de componist van de grote Avengers-films, zoals Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Luisteren
Luistertip. Let op de brede koperfanfares en de snelle, opstuwende strijkers die de actie vooruit drijven.
