One of the most versatile composers working in films today,
Bruce Broughton writes in every medium, from theatrical motion
pictures, television and computer games to the concert stage, in
styles ranging from large symphonic settings to contemporary
electronic scores.
His first major film score, a broad orchestral canvas for Lawrence
Kasdan’s western SILVERADO, brought him an Oscar nomination.
His very next assignment, a classically styled score for Barry
Levinson’s YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES, resulted in a Grammy
nomination for the soundtrack album.
Broughton, composing in a broad range of styles, has written
the scores for such major motion pictures as LOST IN SPACE,
TOMBSTONE, MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, CARRIED AWAY, BABY’S
DAY OUT, THE PRESIDIO, NARROW MARGIN, HARRY AND THE
HENDERSONS, THE BOY WHO COULD FLY, the Disney animated
feature THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER and the two popular
HOMEWARD BOUND adventures. In a lighter vein he wrote the
effervescent music for KRIPPENDORF’S TRIBE, as well as the
comedy hit HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KID! He conducted and
supervised the recording of Gershwin’s RHAPSODY IN BLUE for
FANTASIA 2000.
With 21 nominations, he has received the Emmy award nine
times, most recently for his score for ELOISE AT CHRISTMASTIME.
His television credits include the main title themes for JAG,
TINY TOON ADVENTURES and DINOSAURS and scores for
AMAZING STORIES, QUINCY and HOW THE WEST WAS WON,
movies for television such as LUCY, BOBBY’S GIRL, and
O PIONEERS!, as well as the miniseries ROUGHING IT, THE BLUE
AND THE GRAY and the Emmy Award-winning TRUE WOMEN.
His score for HEART OF DARKNESS was the first orchestral score
composed for a video game.
As a concert composer, he recently recorded his FANFARES,
MARCHES, HYMNS and FINALE at Skywalker Studios with The Bay
Brass, who commissioned the work. Other concert works include
THE MAGIC HORN (commissioned jointly by the Chicago, Seattle
and National Symphonies for the Magic Circle Mime Company);
ENGLISH MUSIC for Horn and Strings; THREE INCONGRUITIES, a
triptych for violin and orchestra; TYVEK WOOD, commissioned
by the Debussy Trio, premiered in Prague in the summer of 1999;
MODULAR MUSIC, composed for the Los Angeles Chamber
Orchestra; a piccolo concerto; a tuba concerto; several chamber
works such as the TOCCATA for Two Harps and Percussion,
FINGERPRINTS OF CHILDHOOD for flute, violin and viola, A
PRIMER FOR MALACHI for flute, clarinet, cello and piano, as well
as several solo works for winds, most notably a HORN SONATA
composed for Dale Clevenger, principal horn in the Chicago
Symphony, and EXCURSIONS, commissioned and premiered by
The United States Air Force Band in Washington, D.C.
As a conductor, his recordings of Miklos Rozsa’s IVANHOE
and JULIUS CAESAR for Intrada records, performed by the
Sinfonia of London shortly before the composer’s death, have
received outstanding reviews, as well as his recording of Bernard
Herrmann’s unique score for JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS.
Broughton is a board member of ASCAP, a governor of the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a former governor
of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and past
president of The Society of Composers and Lyricists. He has
taught film composition in the Advanced Film Music Studies
program at USC and is a lecturer at UCLA.
