Search - Bernstein, Rpo, Davis :: Symphonic Dances

Carl Davis is a musician in the American tradition--born in New York, he composes, conducts, and does anything else necessary to put his music across. His aim in writing for film and television has always been to ensure that the music he composes is of the same high standard and excitement as that meant for the concert hall. Davis' early work in the US gave him a broad musical background he still draws upon today. Early appointments include Assistant Conductor with the New York City Opera, and three tours with the Robert Shaw Chorale. The list of prizes he has received during his career is as diverse as they are numerous. Moreover, he has written for and worked with such acclaimed and varied performers as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Ned Sherrin, John Wells, Billy Connolly, and many more. Credits include Pride and Prejudice, The World at War, The Snow Goose, Silas Marner, Napoleon, as well as television series such as Clive Jame's Fame in the 20th Century and Thames Television's Hollywood and Silents. Feature film credits include The French Lieutenant's Woman, Champions, Scandal, and many others.
