Having at least one score rejected is a rite of passage for film composers. You would be shocked to find out that many of the most notable composers who score movies have actually had their scores kicked to the curb for a number of reasons at least once. Hollywood isn’t about being nice, because unfortunately if the music doesn’t work for the movie, rather than working with the composer to get the right final product, some productions will take the easy route and just hire a more experienced composer to take over. Never take it personally, but rather treat it as a learning experience and motivation to create something that fits better next time. Check out these 7 examples of some very famous composers who lost their music to the studio or directors.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite a standing ovation by the Universal Orchestra (according to rumors), composer Bernard Herrmann was asked by the movie studio to create music for Torn Curtain<\/em><\/a> that was a more upbeat pop\/jazz in style.
