| Abstract | Georges Delerue has been remembered for his iconic contributions to the cinematic French New Wave, and rightly so. His own blossoming coincided with and helped fuel the blossoming of a singular time in film history, and his pairings with François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and Philippe de Broca rendered unforgettable marriages of music and picture. ❧ But Delerue also took a leap in the middle of his life. He came to Hollywood. The films and television movies he scored in America—between 1980 and his death in 1992—may not carry the importance and artistic distinction of his early French work, but those 12 years saw a further maturation and exploration of Delerue’s incomparable style and gift as a melodist. He wrote some of his most weighty and beautiful music for films in the United States, and the following is a defense and examination of such. ❧ Mostly through interviews with Delerue’s family, friends, and artists he collaborated with during his time in Hollywood, I have attempted to walk the reader through this often overlooked chapter of the composer’s life. My hope is that strangers will fall in love with Georges the man—and that you can hear the music. |
