Hans Zimmer
This paper will be about the famous German composer Hans Florian Zimmer. First I will talk about some basic info on his background. Hans Zimmer is 56 years old and he is a world renowned composer born in Frankfurt, Germany. Hans never really had any musical lessons or training. Hans really is self- taught. He knows how to play at least 6 different instruments fluently. This is mainly because of his father's death. At such a young age Hans had to deal with a lot of heartache from losing his father. But it was through his father's death that Hans really fell in love with music.He doesn't really have any real musical studies, but does play a lot of different instruments, 6 in total. That is a lot …show more content…
More specifically his song “Time”. The song comes in with a piano playing chords. Later around thirty seconds into it the cellos come in playing part of the first melody with accompaniment from the piano. Around a minute the lower instruments come in and the cellos start up on the melody. Right after, the higher strings come in playing chords. Then around two minutes we hear the electric guitar come in. Thirty seconds later we begin to hear the Trombones/French horns take over the melody while the higher strings are playing the counter melody. When we hit three minutes we hear the brass horns give a little add on to the melody. The everyone kind of fades out, and the piano comes back with the original melody accompanied by the violas. once it hits four minutes the violas fade oust and the piano repeats the same phrase in the beginning over and over again, until we hear a short electronic shock noise, which the song ends with. I thinks that is very cool how he brought the song to a close the same way it entered. If you compare the music to the actual scene that is being played in the movie, you will see how perfect the music fits. For example the motif at the beginning and end of the song represent the group waking up from a hard journey, and them ending it. I truly believe that if the movie didn't have the song, I wouldn't have get anything. Zimmer’s music makes you feel like you're there with the characters experiencing what they are going through. This is why Zimmer is so good at what he does, because he knows how to match the scene with the perfect
