Better Concerts and Music

When a radio program director or radio DJ asks me a question about radio programming, often they ask, “What do you think about always putting music under the radio DJ’s voice?”

The only reality show I’ve ever seen is THE CONTENDER (Season One).

The climax of each episode of THE CONTENDER was a tightly edited, condensed version of that week’s fight. There was “exciting” music during the fight’s highlights. But when the ring announcer pulled down the microphone to declare the winner, the music came to an abrupt halt.

Why?

Because everyone wanted to hear what he was going to say.

Because at that the moment, the drama is in the words.

Then why is there music in films???

First:  Most music in films isn’t used very well. I’m guessing the percentage of “badly used film music” is approximately the same as “bad radio.”

Don’t take my word for it. Ask any good film composer~Ask any accomplished film composer}~Ask anyone who composes music for films~Ask any accomplished film composer}.

Second:  When used properly, the music enhances the emotional response the filmmaker wants to elicit

Third: Just as in radio, many directors use music in an attempt to force the illusion of an emotion the scene is not able to deliver on its own.

The action ISN’T exciting; but maybe if we add loud, pulsating music we can make the audience THINK it’s exciting.

Or….

The tender moment between these two characters plays out completely flat. The actors share absolutely no chemistry. Or the actors are less than adequate. Or the dialogue isn’t very good. Or the story is lame. Solution? Bring on the violins!

When it’s used well in movies, music enhances the emotional impact that already exists in a scene.

For a superb lesson in how to use music in movies, watch THE SIXTH SENSE again. There’s practically NO music in that movie. Almost none. But when there IS music, it notches up the scene’s creepiness to an almost unbearable level.

Sustaining tension throughout a 90-minute film without resorting to cheap tricks requires a lot of artistry and skill. Even 40 years after it was made, FAIL-SAFE remains what critics would call a “gripping drama.” It’s unimaginably tense.

FAIL-SAFE benefited from an immensely talented director; a good story; a fine script; and a consistently strong cast.

Oh, and one more thing:

It didn’t use a drop of music. Not a single note.

Y’see, when in just a few minutes a nuclear war (started by accident) might destroy Life As We Know It, we really don’t need John Williams to musically yell, “HEY, THIS SURE IS TENSE!!!”

But How About Live Theatre?

Although — especially in recent years — “incidental music” occasionally is used in stage productions, I’m not aware of any non-musicals that play music while an actor is delivering his lines.

Why should they? They have the actors. They’ve got the audience. It’s intimate.

That’s what makes good (even not-so-good) theatre so exciting: The performers and the audience are collaborating to produce a dialogue between them.

Intimacy.

Y’know, kind of like radio’s biggest strength: the ability to communicate one-to-one.
