		Film society discourses and educational strategies towards the end of the 1950s significantly meshed with the aesthetic proclivities and apolitical nature of much of this discourse.

		Never confining himself to any one style, Shire has a gift for choosing the right musical milieu for each of his projects; for the climactic sequences of 1985's Return to Oz, for example, he decided upon a ragtime cadence, a style indigenous to the era in which L. Frank Baum wrote his "Oz" stories.

		After years of composing music for stage shows, Yale-educated David Shire plunged into film scoring with 1971's One More Train to Rob.
