This week on Film Music Friday we're hearing the music of Bond, James Bond.  Rather than the enormously popular songs that have opened most 007 movies, we'll focus instead on the orchestral scores created for the films by composers like John Barry, David Arnold, Marvin Hamlisch, Hans Zimmer and others, including themes from Dr. No, Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, The Living Daylights, the most recent Bond film, No Time to Die, and more.

Composer Michael Giacchino burst onto the scene in 2004 with The Incredibles, and since then has provided music for several Hollywood blockbusters, including Rogue One, Doctor Strange, Jurassic World and Star Trek, plus numerous Pixar films.  We'll hear from all those and more on this week's Film Music Friday.

Once typecast in gangster roles, Humphrey Bogart eventually transcended his status as a movie star to become an international cultural icon. This week on Film Music Friday we'll hear some memorable themes from Bogart's films, including Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Caine Mutiny and more.

The dictionary defines "epic" as something that's heroic, majestic, impressively great.  In Hollywood an epic is a movie that's big - really big.  And a big movie needs big music.  This week's Film Music Friday examines the music of epic films, with examples from Ben-Hur, King Kong, The Sea Hawk, The Man Who Would Be King and The Avengers, among others.

Carter Burwell didn't aspire to become a composer, much less a film composer.  However, filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen gave him an opportunity to write the score for their first film, Blood Simple, in 1994 and he went on to write music for most of the Coen brothers' films.  On this week's Film Music Friday we'll hear Burwell's music from Fargo; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; True Grit; The Big Lebowski and more.
