As a gift to BSO Spirit, the organizers behind the International Film Music Festival in Córdoba, Spain, I wrote this little orchestral fanfare to celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2014. Incorporating themes from RoboCop by Basil Poledouris was my way to emphasize the “roots” of the special festival spirit, to which Poledouris contributed a considerable amount of heart and bravery when participating in one of the festival’s first editions in the midst of battling cancer. Performed by the Orquesta de Córdoba conducted by Juan Manuel Parra.
