"The New York Hat", D. W. Griffith - scored by Sarah Basciano

"The New York Hat" (1912) by D. W. Griffith
Music (2015) by Sarah Basciano
This is a silent film by D. W. Griffith for which I composed the music. This was a project for a composing class at U of T.

I watched the same movie on another channel and the music touched me so much I was upset they didn't even credit the composer. But after some basic search, I found out it was you. So now that I'm here, thank you Sarah, you absolutely nailed it.

Thanks for researching and wanting to know the composer! That's great that you enjoyed my music!! :) I'm not sure what the other channel was, but I'm glad you were able to find me anyway.

La musique fait ressortir parfaitement la tension de ce film muet et sert parfaitement le récit, accentuant l'intensité des regards des affrontements entre la fille et le père! Bravo Sarah Basciano !

[@sarahbascianomusic]

Amazing! I couldn't believe that watching silent film would be such a delight! It is the music that made this magic possible. Thanks for great job!

[@sarahbascianomusic]

Thank you so much!! I'm very glad you enjoyed it 😀

I would add: It is the Direction (by Griffith) and the Performance (by Mary Pickford) that makes this so see-able in our Time.

But A GREAT SCORE INDEED!!!!!

[@apanapane]

Let me just concur with the others who have pointed out how great the score is that you have added to this film! Thank you very much; it enhanced the viewing experience greatly!

[@sarahbascianomusic]

Wow that's great to hear, thank you so much!! :)

[@PhilcoRt66]

This music is amazing. So many are not true to the feeling. I was lucky enough to hear early pianist Gaylord Carter who played music for the early silents.

[@sarahbascianomusic]

Thank you very much, that's very kind! :D And that's awesome, it would've been so cool to see him!

[@AScreenwritersJourney]

The score really enhances the movie. Thank you for posting. Does anyone else think the priest looks like Brendan Fraser? Perhaps a great-grandfather?

[@sarahbascianomusic]

Thanks! Glad you like it! :D And interesting thought about Brendan Fraser haha

[@marilynburden7024]

That's Lionel Barrymore who is in no way related to Brendan Fraser. He is however Drew Barrymore's great uncle.
