Second Chance
from Sound of Cinema Hosted by BBC Radio 3
During the period of New Year resolutions Matthew Sweet looks at music for films which offer the opportunity of a "second chance", including 'It's a Wonderful Life', 'The Artist', 'The Pursuit of Happyness', 'Soul', 'Living', 'Mrs Jones Goes To Paris', 'Groundhog Day' and 'Star Trek IV - The Journey Home'. Matthew also focuses on music composed for the various screen versions of Charles Dickens's perennial seasonal favourite 'A Christmas Carol' and marking the 30th anniversary of 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' - his Classic Score of the Week - he talks to songwriter Paul Williams about composing music for the film and for the Muppets.
