Functionality: Music for Stage and Screen Video(VHS/DVD). "Heart of the Wood," by composer Howard Goodall and lyricist Charles Hart, is a song from a musical based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. "Medieval March," by Debbie Wiseman, is the theme from a TV movie about Hans Christian Andersen. By deconstructing these two pieces, this program analyzes how music composed for the stage and screen performs its dramatic functions. Sound bites and video clips reveal how music can define the mood and the period of a scene, set the tempo of the action, project the feelings of the characters, and provide continuity for the production as a whole.
