The music of French composer Michel Legrand is not only hauntingly beautiful, but also unique in its sound and style. During his lifetime he wrote music for more than 200 film and television scores, including “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” “Summer of ’42,” “The Thomas Crown Affair” and “Yentl.” His collaboration with lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman produced such memorable compositions as “The Summer Knows,” “I Will Wait for You,” “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life,” “Watch What Happens” and “The Windmills of Your Mind.” In addition to being a prolific composer, Legrand was a virtuoso jazz and classical pianist and an accomplished arranger and conductor who performed with orchestras all over the world. This class will focus on his accomplishments and provide insight into his music through the use of film, recordings and piano performance of selected pieces.
