The Best Music in Film
Luis de Pablo
(Composed the music for Víctor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive)
- S&S: In what ways does music best enhance a film?
- "Sorry for my broken English!...And sorry also for telling you, that, to me, film music was only a matter of money. In other words, I don't think my film music deserves any interest. I left it as soon as my own music gave me a decent way of living. (As a matter of fact, I wrote film music together with "my" music for, at least, twenty years). Nevertheless, I am grateful to film music because it saved me from starving (in the harsh Spanish days of the 50s and the 60s) and also because I learned a lot about "metier" and practicalities. That I will never forget."
