During the summer of 1993 it was my great privilege to compose music for Steven Spielberg's brilliant film Schindler's List.
The film's ennobling story, set in the midst of the great tragedy of the Holocaust, offered an opportunity to create not only dramatic music, but also themes that reflected the more tender and nostalgic aspects of Jewish life during these turbulent years.
For this part of the soundtrack I featured a solo violin, accompanied by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and our greatest good fortune was to have Itzhak Perlman as soloist for the recording.
Included here are three pieces-"Theme From Schindler's List", "Jewish Town (Krakow Ghetto - Winter '41)", and "Remembrances"-which embody the main thematic elements of the score, and it is especially gratifying to me that this music can now be available for performance independent of the film.
We stock over 10,000 titles of sheet music for violin, viola, cello and upright bass, as well as for ensembles that include bowed string instruments - duos, trios, quartet, quintet, sextet, septet, octet. We have the ability to search music in several ways, enabling you to see cover images, sample pages and SEARCHABLE table of contents.
