Composers have played a crucial role in the cinema since the first film was made over a hundred of years ago. In the early years composers like William Walton, Max Steiner, Elmer Bernstein and Erich Korngold were all involved. Directors and film composers formed relationships like Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock, Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone and, more recently Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard. Other directors like Terence Davies and Woody Allen use period music as a soundtrack to explore their recurrent themes of memory and longing.
