For a film or TV composer, the most difficult assignments are often documentaries. There is usually very little money, and finding the right tone and musical approach can be a weeks- or months-long challenge.
“Davis wanted music that was joyful, that was celebrating a life,” Powell says of the Apple+ film. Guggenheim told him that when Fox agreed to do the doc, the “Family Ties” star insisted “no violins” – apparently concerned that a string section might sentimentalize scenes of Fox’s growing physical difficulties as a result of Parkinson’s disease.
Neely’s approach to Netflix’s “Pamela, a Love Story,” was different. “I wanted it to be synthetic, because I was going for an ’80s, ’90s pop sound,” reflecting the era when she became a star, Neely says. “I felt like strings and woodwinds would be too much. It’s not a sad story, and to put strings or an oboe under her just didn’t work for me.”
He also liked the “hopeful ending” of the Anderson story, as she stars in the “Chicago” revival on stage, but as often happens in documentary filmmaking, that ending came at the last minute, as the team was shooting that while he was scoring.
