Harvard Strikes Again

I’ll be the first to admit how fortunate I am to have a ton of work this summer. In addition to scoring a three-hour series for PBS (“The Human Spark”for WNET) and a 90-minute national special for Chicago’s WTTW (“The New Reality” premiering in September), I’m composing music for another Harvard project. (I know, I know - as soon as this prestigious university gets a look at my college grades, I’m history…)

This time around, I created a score for the upcoming PBS series “Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do?”, produced by WGBH and Harvard. The show is a fascinating look at how we determine what’s right and what’s wrong. Taught by Harvard’s Michael Sandel, these 12 one-hour episodes take an in-depth look at our personal and collective morality.

I developed a sample theme for the show, and then (based on the client's suggestions), changed the theme to fit more what Harvard and WGBH had in mind, and finally developed additional music for the series based on the approved theme.
