2004 – Film Score
Description: These pieces are from Paper Clips, a wonderful documentary that I scored. The film tells the story of the town of Whitwell, Tennessee, and its junior high school’s project designed to teach their kids the scale of the Holocaust by collecting 6 million paper clips — a project that involves the whole town and beyond. I tried to match the somber but hopeful tone of the story with compositions to reflect the Appalachian setting, with the overtones of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. Our team traveled to Nashville to record singer Alison Krauss on several songs, including a haunting version of the traditional dance tune “Jubilee.”
