Music & Movies

   As long as I can remember, I have been a Movie buff. Watching TV series and movies during my youth really has become influential as much as of course reading books and my all time favorite Reader's Digest which I still collect and had fun re- reading back issues and still learn and discover something from it.
   Well going back to the topic, I am really amazed how soundtracks and film scoring really contributed and added essence to famous movies and TV series that made it unforgettable and vice-versa as for some songs and music that was made for movies became hits and made it to the top of the music charts.
   It is with this that I thought I'd collect and share to you some of the famous movies made and their soundtracks and themes.
 


  To start it off I would like to highlight one of my favorite actors the great Charlie Chaplin and his composition "Smile" which was used as a soundtrack to his 1936 movie "Modern Times". Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. Here's a rendition of the song performed by Michael Jackson and the video clip made by Chaplin's violin that I lifted from Youtube. credit also goes to Wikipedia for some of the information.

Can Music Calm a Shift Workers Soul?

Can Music Calm a Shift Workers Soul? In this week’s Boston Globe, there was an article about a surgeon, Dr. Claudius Conrad, of Massachusetts General Hospital, who is scientifically testing how music affects surgeons and their patients. Dr. Conrad’s goal is to determine whether music can improve results of surgery and whether it might be used as a medical treatment. What Dr. Conrad is doing is trying to better, is understand why, and how, music works. In a small study published in 2007, Dr. Conrad tested the effects of music on a group of 10 critically ill patients. Half of the group listened to the slow movements of Mozart piano sonatas through headphones for an hour, and the other half heard no music. Those who listened to music needed less sedation, had reduced stress hormone levels, lower blood pressure and lower heart rates.
