More about this title
About the Composer: Bruce Broughton
Bruce Broughton has spent decades crafting scores for film and television, earning ten Emmy Awards and nominations for an Oscar and Grammy. His work spans major motion pictures including Silverado, Tombstone, and The Rescuers Down Under, as well as iconic television properties like JAG, The Orville, and Tiny Toon Adventures.
Beyond his screen work, Broughton maintains an active concert music presence with commissions from major orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra and Chicago Symphony. He serves as a Board member of ASCAP and has held leadership positions in both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Society of Composers and Lyricists.
Why we love this
Broughton's arrangement captures the film's emotional heart without overshadowing your musicians. The themes are immediately recognizable to audiences familiar with the movie, making this a genuine crowd pleaser that doesn't sacrifice musical substance for familiarity.
What to expect
Warmth and sincerity permeate this score, with melodies that evoke wonder and gentle emotional resolution. The arrangement invites string players into the intimate spaces of the film's most touching moments, creating something that feels both cinematic and deeply human.
Who it's for
String orchestras working at the Grade 3-4 level who want holiday programming that connects with audiences beyond the typical winter concert repertoire. This works equally well for ensembles seeking a film tie-in or teachers looking to engage students through music they've heard in a beloved seasonal movie.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melodic line across your first violins; these themes need clarity but will easily overpower if the section isn't listening carefully to dynamics shifts.
- Shape phrases with slight tempo elasticity during the most tender moments, allowing the magic of the themes to breathe rather than maintaining metronomic precision.
- Keep the accompaniment figures light and supportive in the middle voices so the main material sings through without excessive doubling.
- Record a run-through early and listen back for balance; the arrangement's accessibility can mask uneven voicing if you're not monitoring it consistently.
How to use it
Position this as your concert finale to send audiences out with genuine holiday spirit and recognition. The 3:35 duration allows for substantial program weight without overshadowing other repertoire, and its cultural familiarity makes it an excellent anchor for a concert theme built around film music or seasonal traditions.
Skills your students will build
- Sustained lyrical playing and tone control across longer phrases
- Dynamic shaping within melodic passages at moderate tempos
- Balance between melody and accompaniment figures in orchestral texture
- Intonation precision in sustained harmonic structures
- Stylistic awareness of film scoring orchestration techniques
