Music

A casual viewer often underestimates the role of music in the complex  art of motion picture production. Nonetheless, it is an important factor that creates a dramatic and emotional landscape, sometimes requiring a tailor-made score that compliments what is seen on the screen.   The result can be an original song or score that is completely free of copyright or reproduction limitations. For other projects, royalty free stock music can be used to great effect.

The following is a collection of original material written, orchestrated and performed by Parkes Productions musicians.
