A Note from the
Composer
'Il Bene e Il Male'
- 'The Good and the Evil' is a 12 part TV drama, which has now
been broadcast in Italy. It has been sold around the world but
I'm not sure where and when it will be broadcast. I wrote all
the main themes, for the 4 main characters and the
show itself. I then scored the first 4 episodes
completely to picture but also creating a library for use in
the whole show. Then, with my UK team, we edited music for the
remaining 8 episodes, but I scored important scenes in
some of these too. I recorded in December and January at Abbey
Road. My score was Orchestra based but with Acoustic Guitars,
modern percussion and programming and some Ethnic instruments
such as Baglama and Saz. Orchestra was 36 strings, 6 Brass,
Harp, Piano, 4 Woodwind and Percussion.
