เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2013
Los Angeles-based composer Jules Pegram's music has been performed by American Composers Orchestra, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, New World Symphony, Reno Pops, and Symphony in C, and has been recorded by the Hollywood Studio Symphony at Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox Studios.
Pegram’s latest film work includes the original score to the documentary feature Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country’s Soul (Collaborative Films). In July 2021, Pegram could be found leading sessions at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios, serving as conductor & orchestrator for Sturdivant Adams’ evocative score to Prisoners of Paradise (AMG International Film).
Commissioned by 17 American universities, Pegram’s L.A.tudes for Band was a finalist for the 2023 National Band Association Revelli Award, and his Concerto for Alto Saxophone & Wind Ensemble was awarded the Frederick Fennell Prize (ASCAP, College Band Directors National Association).

SHADOWS OF THE STUDIO for Orchestra is my musical tribute to the glory days of Hollywood’s “studio system,” a factory-like production setup that allowed for the efficient, speedy creation and distribution of quality motion pictures, thousands of which are now considered cinema classics. As recounted in stunning detail by film scholar Thomas Schatz in "The Genius of the System," this landmark era of moviemaking spanned from the rise of the major studios in the 1920s up until the studio system’s ultimate demise in the 1950s. During that illustrious period, moguls like Carl Laemmle at Universal, Daryl Zanuck at 20th Century Fox, the Warner Bros., and Louis B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer fame served as helms of production at their respective studios, reigning over a vast filmic empire the likes of which will surely never be seen again.
As the work begins, we walk through an old studio’s massive iron gates and into an abandoned soundstage, dust-filled and full of movie relics from days gone by. Out of this dark, funereal texture, the music suddenly starts to build, the studio roars back to life, and we are transported back to the glory days of Hollywood, circa 1940. Once the ratchety sounds of a film projector click us into full gear, a lush, sweeping theme enters, something akin to what one might have heard in a classic Hollywood film noir score. Our musical flashback is all hustle-and-bustle, in a sonic framework as clean and crisp as a motion picture produced by one of the “majors.” We then take an evening flight through the Hollywood Hills, with filmmakers below still hard at work on the set, chic bars and nightclubs booming, spotlights flickering outside a premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and of course that legendary white sign beaming off in the distance. Eventually the music reaches epic proportions, and Tinseltown is at last restored to its former glory. But this grandiose reimagining of a lost era is little more than a dream, and after an explosive climax the piece gradually fades out to its ghostly conclusion, sending the studio back into the shadows of the past.

Loved the violins slide!
Very cool man
Thank you, Ashton!
Hello! Really enjoy the music. My brother and I are trying to become film composers and where wondering what type of things you have done in the past to become this good. How do you study? What is your thought process when you start a new piece? Again, we love the score!
Hey guys - thanks for your kind words about the music! I have always taken score study very seriously and love doing it. Thankfully TH-cam has made things much more available for everyone. In fact, you may even find yourself listening more than you write (I think often of the fact that Toni Morrison was a prolific editor before her own first novel was published; she read several novels a week for years). Just as important is to attend as many rehearsals as you can; these are far more useful than concerts because we can learn how a piece is truly assembled. Some voicings & orchestrations sound great initially whereas others take several passes to gel or are over-/under-orchestrated (it's usually over-). If film scoring is the road you pursue, then studying the craft of filmmaking is essential. This means watching as many movies/TV series as you can and analyzing them just as richly as we do music. Interviews with filmmakers, attending festivals and screenings, studying up on the latest technology - these are all critical to a media composer. This may also be of some use. A couple years back I was asked in an interview to share some nuggets of advice to aspiring composers. Here's what I said: "Listen just as much as you write. Be a lifelong student of history. Be wide-eyed and present, aware of the latest trends and the current innovators. Never compromise your vision for what others think you should write. Never stop honing your craft. Actively avoid artistic dogma. Cherish the process. Develop a thick skin. Protect your brand. Do honest work."
Amazing work!
Thanks for listening, @tomekkobialka!
Man, what a refreshing piece! You've taken everything I love about 20th-century orchestra composing and meshed it with everything I love about post-modern composing! I wish I could tell you which parts were my favorite, but I truly loved every second! I did love how you created a lot of tension and misdirection before those heavenly grand chord strikes like in section C! Well done, thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful listening & comment, Nio!
Fabulous!!!!
Thanks for listening! 😊
better than all the overly-lyrical musescore compositions out there on youtube
Thanks for listening! 😊
Well he had a real orchestra in this case. MuseScore doesn’t do well with this kind of writing.
Beautiful
Thanks for listening, Nico!
in one ear and out the other.. Nothing to grab the memory.
Wow ! Incredible contemporary music. I must start listening to more band music : certainly varied and as interesting if not more than orchestral strings wonderful percussion and brassand winds. I was open mouthed entire time . I really need to explore brass writing more . Theh use of percusion here is very knowing made me think of Jacob Druckman !
Thanks for your kind words! Really appreciate your thoughtful listening to the piece...and I'm flattered by the comparison to J Druckman, certainly one of my favorites! His lavishly orchestrated PRISM made a huge impression on me during grad school days - definitely recommend studying it w/score!
Love the rhythmic energy here ❤🔥
Ahh, thanks Aaron! A unique challenge to reimagine this for winds coming from the previous version for cellos!
Lovely!
Thanks for listening!
Super! Enjoyed this and was very entertained. Thanks.
Thanks for your support, Wesley!
This gives me Hook vibes😊
Swashbucklers FTW 🙌
👏 ❤ This is probably one of the best modern compositions I’ve heard. Such class. All the instruments are at your disposal. Great work! That 3rd movement is out of this world.
Really appreciate your thoughtful comment, Dylan...so happy my love letter to L.A. spoke to you!
Really excellent orchestration! Great work on this man
Thanks very much, James! 🎼
Jules, this is wonderful music. I'll contact you right now!
@deidara1792 Thanks for your kind words!
Fantastic!!
Dude!!! Chilling!
Thinking about maybe playing this next year, got any program notes?
That'd be awesome! Please reach out to me via my website and I'll get you set up with Score & Parts. Just updated the Info Box above w/the Program Note.
Very cool - sounds like Mason Bates meets Michael Daugherty. Would love to hear the whole thing.
Damn this is great!
Phew!! Pleasure to experience the journey live 🙏🙏
Awesome piece Jules!
Thank you, my friend!
As a sax player, it's great to see people writing new music specifically for the instrument. As it's fairly new, relative to the other concert instruments, it's in need of more modern classical canon. Great work man 😊
feathernomenal!
Love it!
Sounds Great!
I love how economical this, should be on every percussionist’s rep list! 🙏🏽
@@JulesPegramComposer not enough percussion pieces that do that!
Oh Antona Yost.. que bella voz..
Hey, I've played this
Excellent composition with an eclectic mix of sounds, melodies, fragments and timbres. More new music like this should be programmed into orchestral concerts on a regular basis. Dovetailing new and historic music should be the norm.
Amazing!
Hey Jules, really really good job man, I'm especially a fan of your brass voicings. Any chance I could have a look at the score for this? Thanks
whoa! turned out great! amazing how many different textures there are in 3 minutes!
Congrats on winning!!!!!
