Classical Voice on SF Hitchcock 9 screenings

Music for Hitchcock's Silent Films : San Francisco Classical Voice

FROM THE ARTICLE

Stephen Horne composed the music for The Manxman:

I was commissioned by the BFI to write the "official" score for the restoration.
I wrote the full score for a quintet, comprising myself on piano, flute, accordion, as well as oboe, oboe d' amore, fiddle, viola, lever harp, and percussion.

The film is set on the Isle of Man — an island which had quite an austere religious tradition. At the same time the musical tradition of the island reflects its position geographically — somewhere between Liverpool, Scotland, and Ireland.
