Typical Emmett Carmichael

"Tonight" was originally composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. I wish I’d had a chance to share it with these masterful creators before they left this world. It’s wonderful to finally be able to realize the arrangement that I’ve had in my head since I first saw West Side Story as a kid. I realize then and now that Bernstein wanted to reflect the excitement and anticipation of young love. But since both Tony and Maria have already had some very hard times, and we know the story so well, I always felt it could be more restrained, rich, and melancholy. Like, “finally, I found someone I really love, but who knows what will happen.” It is Romeo and Juliet, after all.

“Now You Are Free” is celebratory sentiment for anyone completing a grueling trial, whatever the case may be. A blend of adventure, romance, and triumph, this ‘Hero’s Journey’ type of piece was written to fulfill the requirements of the Master of Music in Film Composition at the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program, under the direction of Emmy Award winning composer, Hummie Mann.

This piece was designed to showcase skills developed in the program and in doing so, I have modeled it to invoke one of the styles of one of my favorite film composers, John Debney. His music, and many others, inspired me to pursue film scoring and delve into understanding its amazing ability to simultaneously convey and elicit emotion to enhance the experience of life and film.

Composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Anton du Preez.
Recorded at Bastyr University Chapel.
Mixed by Reed Ruddy at Studio X in Seattle.
