THE SHOW | THE BEST SCORES OF 2011
To my surprise, 2011 turned out to be one of the best overall years for new film, TV and video game music in recent memory. 2011 saw the return of John Williams, who scored not one but two films, after a three year hiatus. Pinar Toprak scored the first ever documentary film to break into my yearly top ten, and Mark McKenzie crafted the greatest score of his career for a tiny, Mexican animated family film, which just so happened to capture the top spot on our countdown. Those scores along with six others will be featured on the program today as I present ten of my very favorite scores from 2011.
And to spur on some more conversation I will be breaking a fifteen year trend by listing the ten scores before you have a chance to listen to the show. Enjoy the show by listening to it at
