Emma (2020) - Wit and Whimsy

In this episode, we look at the soundtrack of the 2020 movie of Jane Austen's Emma written by Isobel Waller-Bridge and David Schweitzer. We look at how each of the main characters are given both a theme and instrument and how these themes interweave with each other. We also explore the choreography of the music to match the comedy shown, as well as how the folk and classical music help tell the story through emotions, lyrics, as well as reflecting location and class.Music included in podcast:"Peter and the Wolf, Op 67, No. 3, The Duck" - Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf - Saint-Saens: Carnival of the Animals, music by Sergei Prokofiev, performed by Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchestra & Ondrej Lenard, 1990"Cosi Fan Tutte, K. 588: "Sento, Oh Dio, Che Questo Piede" - Mozart: Cosi Fan Tutte, music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by Frank Lopardo, Sir Georg Solti, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Olaf Bar, Michele Pertusi, Renee Fleming, Anne Sofia von Otter & David Syrus, 1996"Emma Woodhouse" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Emma and Mr. Knightley (A Kiss Before They Wed)" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Mr. Knightley" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Mr. Knightley Chases after Emma" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Mr. Knightley is Destroyed" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Badly Done, Emma" - Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Concerto No. 4 in G Major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 58, II.
