RIP Wojciech Kilar (1932-2013) a Polish classical and film music composer.
Wojciech Kilar (17 July 1932 – 29 December 2013) was a Polish classical and film music composer.
"Although he cited his first love as writing symphonies and concertos, he won worldwide attention as a film composer, writing scores for more than 130 films and working with celebrity directors such as Jane Campion (Portrait of a Lady) and Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, for which Kilar received the ASCAP Award 1992 from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Producers in Los Angeles and the prize for best score in a horror film in San Francisco in 1992, and Polanski's The Ninth Gate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... // (...) His compositions ranged from the avant-garde Riff62, to soaring choral works such as 1981's Exodus (used in the trailer for Schindler's List) and Magnificat (2006). (...) In Poland, he was known for working with three influential Polish film directors: Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Krzysztof Zanussi. (...) In 2003, he received a Bafta nomination for his work on The Pianist. (...)" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news...
