	Thomas Newman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Montgomery Newman (born October 20, 1955 in Los Angeles, California) is an American film score composer.
		He is a member of a film-scoring dynasty in Hollywood that includes his father Alfred Newman, his uncle Lionel Newman, his brother David Newman and his cousin Randy Newman, who is also a singer and songwriter.
		Newman was educated at Yale University, and began his film-scoring career in 1984 with his score for Reckless.

	MusicWorld Feature: Richard Kirk Award Thomas Newman Fulfills the Promise of His Legacy
		Thomas works in his dad's old studio in Pacific Palisades, although today it is filled with computers, unusual musical instruments and the high-tech gear that most modern composers use.
		Thomas studied at both USC and Yale, was mentored by Broadway great Stephen Sondheim and backed into a film-scoring career when producer Scott Rudin hired him as a musical assistant on the 1984 teen-angst drama Reckless.
		Newman's job on The Green Mile was to provide "a kind of hyper-reality to intensify the sense of mysticism," the composer says.

	Thomas Newman
		Nine-time Academy Award winner Alfred Newman was his father, ruling the roost at 20th Century Fox as musical director for twenty years.
		Newman studied composition and orchestration at USC with professors Frederick Lesemann and David Raskin, and privately with composer George Tremblay.
		Newman is the winner of three Grammy Awards, one for the American Beauty soundtrack and two for his theme to the HBO series Six Feet Under, for which he also won an Emmy.

	Ink 19 :: Thomas Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Newman's works are beautiful and relatively spare — piano solos with small strings and horns.
		Newman, whose credits include American Beauty, Desperately Seeking Susan, and The Shawshank Redemption, is not afraid to draw upon many influences.
		Newman's music gives the listener a sense of dread, loneliness, excitement and foreboding, all telling the story at hand.

	Filmtracks: Road to Perdition (Thomas Newman)
		Whether Newman is experimenting with these kinds of synthetic scores or building upon his more largely established fan base with his complex orchestral works, he always concentrates heavily on character development and tackles setting and time as a secondary task.
		Newman, while often criticized negatively for his experiemental minimalism in recent scores like In the Bedroom, makes the best of his instrumental knowledge for Road to Perdition, with several cues that literally crawl with a bizarre array of sounds and rhythms.
		If Newman's talent for composing the best in human character is indeed his specialty, then maybe it's easier to both hear and enjoy that talent when he is given a full orchestra and an ensemble of soloists.

	Thomas Newman on SONY BMG Masterworks
		Newman's music appears on Sony Classical on the recently released soundtrack for Erin Brockovich (SK 89239), a film directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring two-time Academy Award-nominee Julia Roberts, who stars as the twice-divorced mother of three young children who defies the odds by taking on and defeating a major public utilities company.
		Newman studied composition and orchestration at USC with professors Frederick Lesemann and noted film composer David Raskin (Laura), and privately with composer George Tremblay; he completed his academic work at Yale, studying with Jacob Druckman, Bruce MacCombie and Robert Moore.
		Newman says another composer served as his greatest mentor, though: Stephen Sondheim.

	Erin Brockovich (Soundtrack) by Thomas Newman
		For the majority of Thomas Newman’s career, he has produced serious, orchestral scores that, more often than not, delivered, at least, one or two truly memorable themes.
		First with American Beauty and now Erin Brokovich, it appears Newman has fully entered, what could be called, the second stage of his career where his style has changed dramatically from delightful slices of Americana pie to more contemporary pieces influenced more by blues and jazz than anything else.
		Suffice it to say, I don’t think there is much chance of Thomas Newman flashing a look of shock and disappointment at the Oscars, as he did for American Beauty, for this score.

	Road to Perdition by Thomas Newman
		Thomas Newman, like Elliot Goldenthal, Michael Danna, or Phillip Glass, is one of those composers that if you start to enjoy, you feel a little smarter for liking them.
		Newman’s playfully creepy score in American Beauty was a memorable addition to the film—one cannot help but conjure up an image of strategically placed rose petals when you hear Newman’s marimba.
		Introduced by a brief smattering of applause, the duet on these fl and white keys as played by the two characters who are emotionally bound to each other as a son to a father, is representative once again of the film’s themes and symbolism, and is a beautiful closing to this album.

	Filmtracks: American Beauty (Thomas Newman)
		American Beauty: (Thomas Newman) Hot off the film's remarkable success, Thomas Newman's arthouse score was not only nominated for a Golden Globe, but has been elevated by many to critics to award-winning status.
		Newman's score to American Beauty is practically interchangeable with this year's The Green Mile, seeing as how he employs just as many funky instruments as he did in the score for the Darabont film.
		Thomas Newman is one of the most important composers in the film-scoring business at the moment.

	Thomas Newman - film composer
		Thomas Newman is another of Alfred Newman's sons, David Newman's brother, and therefore part of that very musical family which also includes Lionel Newman and Randy Newman.
		Thomas quickly made a name for himself with his early soundtrack work on "Reckless" and "Desperately Seeking Susan".
		This was ably demonstrated on the soundtrack to "The Horse Whisperer", whose early scenes in New York use dreamlike music to establish the events before and after the accident which physically and emotionally scars a young girl and her horse, affecting her family.

	White Oleander - Thomas Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Newman scores invariably start well and White Oleander is no exception; Oleander Time is a prototypical piano theme on a wash of synths that recalls the sublime titular track from American Beauty.
		However, as is so often the case, Newman doesn't really build on the opening gambit and the music sinks into a kind of musical trance that is admittedly quite fetching, but would be difficult to class as good music.
		A Newman musical landscape is invariably quite pleasing and a few composers have been quite successful, Ed Shearmur's K-Pax a notable example of mixing Newman's style with a modern dance/trance feel.

		Bio: A second-generation member of Hollywood's preeminent musical dynasty, composer Thomas Newman carried on his family's legacy through a series of Academy Award-nominated film scores.
		Thomas studied piano and violin as a child, following a two-year stay at the University of Southern California by earning a master's degree in music from Yale.
		Although his early musical theater project {+Three Mean Fairy Tales} was championed by Stephen Sondheim, Newman spent the better part of the part of the late '70s playing keyboards in the rock band the Innocents and the improvisational combo Tokyo 77.

		Thomas of course is the Newman widely lamented for eschewing his natural ability for gorgeous Americana string melodies, with his penchant for quirky acoustic percussion and rythms.
		Newman proves he can mickey-mouse with the best of them, adding comedic gestures in "Short-Term Dory" and kid-friendly menace in "Friends Not Food" (using what sounds like synth strings), and "Mt. Wannahockaloogie".
		Newman doesn't employ a mammoth unit to perform the score, so a lot of the solo instruments play out crisply.

	Road To Perdition by Thomas Newman @ Cinemusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Thomas Newman ultimately chose to follow his father's direction, but he also chose to make tracks of his own.
		If you've seen the film, you'll know why Newman decided to use the piano so prominently in the score, besides the fact that the instrument is the most "domestic" of all instruments and keeps with the film's theme of family.
		This is some of Newman's best work, although there might be a sense of déjà vu for some who own much of the composer's work.

	Little Women - Thomas Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I often bemoan the dullness of scores for talky dramas such as this, but Newman is an expert at them, but usually the characters are tortured souls and his music is inventive and disturbing and not always an enjoyable listen.
		When writing for traditional orchestra, Thomas Newman (together with long time orchestrator Thomas Pasatieri) is one of film music's most subtle of orchestrators and Little Women is a prime example.
		That combination is one of Newman's other greatest dramatic strengths and always prevents even his most buoyant scores (of which this is one) from becoming maudlin.

		Since that time, I've enjoyed Thomas Newman's soundtrack for Erin Brockovich as well as the theme he wrote for the HBO series Six Feet Under.
		For instance, in the same year he wrote the Oscar and Lucinda score, Newman wrote scores for two other films, and in 2000, when he wrote music for Erin Brockovich, he also scored two other films and wrote a theme for a television series.
		Thomas Newman is a genius who is one of Americas most prized composers.

		But it was another composer who Newman says served as his greatest mentor early on: Stephen Sondheim, who championed one of Newman's earliest works, a musical theatre piece entitled Three Mean Fairy Tales.
		Newman's score for Little Women is indicative of his approach to film composition, drawing elements not only from the story itself, but from the world as portrayed by the director.
		In Little Women, Newman seamlessly incorporates authentic nineteenth-century American popular music with an orchestral score that recalls the tenderness and grandeur of such classic American compositions as Aaron Copland's "Our Town" and Bernard Herrman's "The Magnificent Ambersons".

		But while Thomas Newman’s score spans that dramatic landscape with rich stylistic diversity, the young champion of the daunting Newman family musical tradition (his father was Fox legend Alfred; his brother fellow film scorer David; his cousin songwriter/composer Randy) never lets musical bombast get in the way of compelling emotional introspection.
		Anchored by a delicate wind and string-driven main theme that’s as mature as it is bittersweet, Newman proceeds to explore some of the same adventurous, rhythmically restless soundscapes that characterized his work on Erin Brockovich and American Beauty.
