Adrienne C. Moore Quotes

Music in this film is a very important part.

The music for 'The Departed' could have been played by an orchestra, but you make a decision about orchestration based on the context of the film. You want the music to broaden the scope of a film, not just repeat what you're seeing.

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records.
