About the Author
Michael Schelle

Customer Reviews

Fascinating for both musicians and non-musicians
I found Michael Schelle's book to be both engaging and fascinating. He manages to "get inside" the composers he interviews, to earn their trust and respect, and to establish a "composer to composer" connection with them. They respond by opening up to him with inside information on the Hollywood music scene that makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in music and/or film. I highly recommend this book.

Great Stuff
Michael Schelle's book is an absolute "must have" for anyone interested in film music. He is an established concert composer himself so he knows what to ask. The questions and dialogue are really first rate. This is the sort of interaction one hopes for in any interview book. Michael Schelle really communicates!

A must read for fans of film music!
This book is both entertaining and informative. Schelle approached the interviews with out of the ordinary and intelligent questions, making for very unique interviews.The book includes interviews with John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Howard Shore, Christopher Young and many others. I strongly recommend this book as an entertaining look at the making of music for films!
