The Scores of Theodore Shapiro

This was my first chance to meet composer Teddy Shapiro, who negotiates the very delicate path of scoring movie comedy better than almost anyone. His work on films like The Devil Wears Prada, Tropic Thunder and Marley & Me fascinated me. This was published in the BMI magazine MusicWorld. He has since been kind enough to speak to my scoring-program classes at USC.
