ABOUT THE MUSIC
To the Future which might sustain the (orchestral) pastGordon Kalton Williams muses on Alan Silvestri’s orchestral score for Back to the Future
Writer Bob Gale was visiting his family home in Missouri. In the basement he found an old High School Yearbook photo of his father. The discovery set Gale wondering: would he and his father have been friends if they’d gone to school together? With that, Gale came up with the idea of a teenager travelling back through time to encounter his parents at the same age. He took the idea to director, Robert Zemeckis, who found himself thinking about a mother who boasted she had never kissed a boy at school but was in fact quite loose.

Great Scott! After 30 years we find ourselves being sent Back to the Future. This time the re-entry is in the concert hall, bringing a new sense of excitement through gifted musicians all around the world. Unlike Doc Brown, I could never have dreamed that I would have the opportunity to set the time circuits
From the composerback to 1985 and have the chance to relive the excitement of the arrival of Back to the Future.
‘Where we’re going, we don’t need roads…’ With a timeless film, and a timeless machine known as an orchestra, we can go anywhere.Alan Silvestri

Zemeckis and Gale pooled their ideas and these formed the basis for the 1985 Universal Pictures smash hit, Back to the Future.
Basically the plot of this comedic time-travel fantasy is this: Marty McFly jumps in the DeLorean converted by his mentor Dr Emmett Brown into a time-travel machine and accidentally arrives back in 1955, 30 years earlier. There, he – and not his father George – is knocked over by his mother’s father’s car as it approaches the family driveway and, to avoid being erased from existence, Marty must re-engineer his parents’ meeting and find a 1950s energy source to take him back to 1985, which of course, in 1955, is the future. (The slight Oedipal problem in the storyline is solved when Marty’s mother, Lorraine, realises that kissing Marty, her time-warped son, is ‘like I’m kissing my brother’ and desists.)
Released in July 1985, Back to the Future grossed over $385 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing film for that year. It was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, and Charles L. Campbell and Robert Rutledge won an Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing. The movie became a franchise with two sequels (one set in 2015 and the other in 1885), and has spawned an animated series, a theme park ride and several video games.

A stage musical is due to premiere soon. But the original film is a classic with performances we can savour again and again: Michael J. Fox’s brilliant mastery of timing and pacing as Marty, Crispin Glover’s cringe-making portrayal of George McFly, Christopher Lloyd’s snowy-haired ‘Doc’ Brown based, visually at least, on conductor Leopold Stokowski who famously shook Mickey Mouse’s hand in the 1940 movie, Fantasia.
Set in 1955 and 1985 respectively, Back to the Future is kind of a digest of US and world culture in those two time-periods. Ronald Reagan, sitting US president in 1985, was amused by jokes at his expense (such as his movie advertised on the marquee of the cinema in Norman Rockwell-like Hill Valley in 1955), and this film makes wonderful use within the plot of contemporary music of the two time-periods – in 1955: Mister Sandman, Johnny B. Goode, or Fess Parker’s Ballad of Davy Crockett.
Back to the Future’s composer Alan Silvestri had previously worked with Robert Zemeckis on the Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner comedy Romancing the Stone. Having grown up in Teaneck, New Jersey, Silvestri was for a short time in 1966 a member of a Teaneck-based band. After studies at Berklee College in Boston, he started his film and television composing career in 1972 at age 21, working on the low-budget action film The Doberman Gang. From 1978 to 1983 he worked on the NBC TV series about two highway motorcycle patrolmen, CHiPs, writing principal music on a number of episodes. Steven Spielberg, who
With Christopher Lloyd as Dr Emmett Brown

produced Back to the Future, thought Back to the Future needed something grander than the music Silvestri had provided for Romancing the Stone – a challenge Silvestri wonderfully met.
And how did he meet it? Something that’s gratifying for lovers of classical music to note: Back to the Future makes prominent use of orchestra.
Orchestras had been a feature of movies in the Golden Era of Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s. European émigrés like Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Franz Waxman had been composers of operas, operettas and orchestral music in Europe before fleeing Hitler for the US, but movie orchestras had fallen out of fashion briefly in the 1950s and 60s. Emilio Audissino, in his book on John Williams, credits John Williams’ Star Wars with bringing about the rebirth of orchestral film music and in the notes to his book Audissino cites Back to the Future along with films like Jerry Goldsmith’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Danny Elfman’s Batman as films benefitting from Star Wars’ orchestral renaissance. In fact, Silvestri’s 85-piece orchestra for Back to the Future was the largest studio orchestra used in Hollywood to that date. It’s a credit to Silvestri’s musical versatility, really, that he could write the ‘synth-pop’ 80s music that so beautifully served Romancing the Stone and then turn to this.
But it’s not just the use of orchestra that speaks to the continuing vitality of classical music. These scores make use of all the musical devices that have evolved in tandem

with orchestral music over the past century and a half – the contrasts of tonal and atonal melody, the symbolism of triadic themes, the soaring emotionality of string melodies. Dirk Brossé, at the World Soundtrack Awards in Belgium in 2015, said of scores by composers like Silvestri: ‘…it’s like coming home and meeting music history.’
You kind of have to stop watching the movie to appreciate examples of this in Silvestri’s score for Back to the Future, but obvious examples would be the fragmenting of the main theme into useful melodic motifs, the use of harmonic sequences for tension, the Stravinskian piano ostinatos in the chase scenes or the Bartókian chromaticism that begins the sequence ‘Einstein Disintegrated’. As with Williams’ scores, several Silvestri cues, such as ‘Einstein Disintegrated’ or ‘Tension/The Kiss’ (although it appears in the film as underlay for the pop-song, ‘Earth Angel’) could stand alone on a concert stage, as character pieces.
Having pleased Zemeckis with his music for Romancing the Stone and Back to the Future, Silvestri has now worked with Zemeckis on all his films, including Cast Away, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (with its wonderful evocation of mercurial cartoon music), Forrest Gump and, last year, The Walk. It’s an impressive Hollywood partnership, surpassing Bernard Herrmann’s filmic record with Alfred Hitchcock but not quite John Williams’ association with Steven Spielberg. In fact, Silvestri has said that ‘I know for instance with Robert Zemeckis,

he sees these scores as his and they are. They were completely inspired by his work. Every note is there trying to follow…his lead. And so I think there’s a very wonderful, kind of justifiable authorship there. I think when Bob walks into a place and they’re playing one of his themes there’s a smile on his face.’
This statement reveals a major difference with traditional classical music, however, because in the concert hall the composer is king. Film doesn’t accept this premise, and in fact even the director’s desires are usually secondary to the product or the audience’s expectations. Playing film scores live with orchestra in concert halls changes this equation. Suddenly the audience has a competing visual. How can a listener not notice what the orchestra is doing? With Back to the Future in particular, screenings with live orchestra have necessitated the composition of more music, as the orchestra only entered (albeit with a flourish) at the 20-minute mark in the original film. But will these forms of concerts have long-term consequences for classical music? All I can say for now is that these philosophical musings give me a chance to catch up with a fun film.

In his decades-long career as a composer,
Alan Silvestri has scored some of the most
revered and profitable films in Hollywood
history, amassing over a hundred credits to
the tune of two Oscar and Golden Globe
nominations and two Emmy awards, as well
as three Grammy awards. While stylistically
diverse, the unifying voice of Silvestri’s work
is an unmistakable rhythmic melody whose
themes continue to embody movie excitement
and drama for generations of moviegoers.
Born in New York City and raised in Teaneck,
New Jersey, Silvestri first thought of becoming
a bebop jazz guitar player. After spending two
years at the Berklee College of Music in Boston,
he hit the road as a performer and arranger.
Landing in Hollywood at the age of 22 and
armed with film scoring books and a sense of
adventure, Silvestri found himself successfully
composing the music for 1972’s The Doberman
Gang. A sequel, The Amazing Dobermans, was
followed by several low-budget but successful
films, further cementing Silvestri’s place in the
world of film composing.
The 1970s witnessed the rise of energetic
synth-pop scores, establishing Silvestri as the
action rhythmatist for television’s highway
patrol hit CHiPs. This action-driven score
caught the ear of budding filmmaker Robert
Zemeckis, whose hit film Romancing the
Stone (1984) was the perfect first date for the
composer and director. Its success became
the basis of a decades-long collaboration
that continues to the present day. Their
collaborations have taken them through many
fascinating landscapes and stylistic variations,
from the Back to the Future trilogy and the
jazzy world of Toontown in Who Framed Roger
Rabbit? to the tension-filled rooms of What
Lies Beneath and Death Becomes Her; from
the cosmic wonder of Contact to the emotional
isolation of Castaway; and from the Wagnerian
Alan Silvestri
ABOUT THE COMPOSER
brawl of Beowulf to the magic of The Christmas
Carol and Polar Express, whose song ‘Believe’
garnered an Oscar nomination. But perhaps
no film partnership defines their creative
relationship better than Zemeckis’ 1994 Best
Picture winner Forrest Gump, for which
Silvestri’s gift for melodically beautiful themes
earned him an Oscar nomination and the
affection of film music lovers everywhere.
Alan Silvestri has scored well over a hundred
films of every imaginable style and genre.
His energy and experimentation has brought
excitement and emotion to the hard-hitting
orchestral/percussion scores of Predator,
Judge Dredd and James Cameron’s The Abyss,
and lent thrills to the effects-driven scores for
The Mummy Returns and G.I. Joe: The Rise of
Cobra. His ethnic rhythms for Soapdish and
The Mexican segue to the raucus fun of family
entertainments like the Stuart Little films
and Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, as well as the
15
Night at the Museum trilogy. The gripping
tension of Blown Away and Identity yield to
the romantic film noir of The Bodyguard, while
edgy comedies like Mousehunt and romantic
comedies like The Father of the Bride movies,
Parent Trap and What Women Want bring
heartfelt warmth.
Silvestri has also proven adept at riding the
western range of Young Guns 2 and The Quick
and the Dead, while also providing thrilling
macho muscle for Van Helsing and The A-Team.
His talent for a dynamic and heroic sound has
helped propel such Marvel superheroes as
Captain America: The First Avenger and The
Avengers to spectacular worldwide success,
even as he provided the restrained, anguished
sound for the alcoholic pilot of Robert
Zemeckis’ Flight. Silvestri’s rambunctious
orchestral cheer also helped to create the hit
caveman family film The Croods.
In 2014 Alan Silvestri won two Emmy
awards for his work on Cosmos: A Spacetime
Odyssey. The new Cosmos updates Carl
Sagan’s original series with the latest
discoveries about the universe we live in and
combines those facts with spectacular visual
effects and animation. Ann Druyan, widow
of Carl Sagan and a co-writer on the original
Cosmos series, serves as an executive
producer, writer and director alongside
executive producer Seth MacFarlane.
Most recently, Silvestri has composed
the music for Robert Zemeckis’ 2015 film
The Walk. It tells the story of French high-wire
artist Philippe Petit’s attempt to cross the
Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in
1974.
Alan Silvestri and his wife Sandra are long-
time residents of California’s central coast.
They are founders of the local branch of the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s
Monterey branch and have served in many
capacities through their long relationship with
the organisation since their son was diagnosed
as a young child in 1992. They are also the
founders of Silvestri Vineyards. Their wines
show that lovingly cultivated fruit has a music
all its own. ‘There’s something about the
elemental side of winemaking that appeals to
me,’ he says. ‘Both music-making and wine-
making involve the blending of art and science.
Just as each note brings it own voice to the
melody, each vine brings its own unique
personality to the wine.’ Whether in his studio
or the vineyard, Alan continues to find
inspiration and passion for music, film, family
and wine.

SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Founded in 1932 by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra has evolved into one of the world’s finest orchestras as Sydney has become one of the world’s great cities. Resident at the iconic Sydney Opera House, the SSO also performs in venues throughout Sydney and regional New South Wales, and international tours to Europe, Asia and the USA have earned the orchestra worldwide recognition for artistic excellence.
Well on its way to becoming the premier orchestra of the Asia Pacific region, the SSO has toured China on four occasions, and in 2014 won the arts category in the Australian Government’s inaugural Australia-China Achievement Awards, recognising ground-breaking work in nurturing the cultural and artistic relationship between the two nations.
The orchestra’s first chief conductor was Sir Eugene Goossens, appointed in 1947; he was followed by Nicolai Malko, Dean Dixon, Moshe Atzmon, Willem van Otterloo, Louis Frémaux,
Sir Charles Mackerras, Zdeněk Mácal, Stuart Challender, Edo de Waart and Gianluigi Gelmetti. Vladimir Ashkenazy was Principal Conductor from 2009 to 2013. The orchestra’s history also boasts collaborations with legendary figures such as George Szell, Sir Thomas Beecham, Otto Klemperer and Igor Stravinsky.
The SSO’s award-winning Learning and Engagement program is central to its commitment to the future of live symphonic music, developing audiences and engaging the participation of young people. The orchestra promotes the work of Australian composers through performances, recordings and commissions. Recent premieres have included major works by Ross Edwards, Lee Bracegirdle, Gordon Kerry, Mary Finsterer, Nigel Westlake, Paul Stanhope and Georges Lentz, and recordings of music by Brett Dean have been released on both the BIS and SSO Live labels.
Other releases on the SSO Live label, established in 2006, include performances conducted by Alexander Lazarev, Sir Charles Mackerras and David Robertson, as well as the complete Mahler symphonies conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
This is David Robertson’s third year as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director.
