In this release The Hollywood Studio Orchestra presents 'The City of Brass' in which 'the full resources of the symphony orchestra are employed to set the background, to intensify the emotional context, and to amplify your subconscious reaction by tonal color and dynamics.

These early works were fundamental to his subsequent development as a composer of dramatic underscore for radio, film, and television. In these works Herrmann first explored the dramatic use of music to support emotional content and meaning beneath dialog. The music was inspired by the poems much in the manner in which a song or opera is created. This term, he said, is 'not to be confused with the word Melodrama in which highly colored incidents are presented in dialogue form'.

Herrmann's word 'Melodram' derives from the Greek words for song and drama. The 'Melodrams' have gone unheard and unrecorded for 80 years until now.

The success of these works led directly to his creation of original scores for the new art of radio drama and ultimately to his unparalleled film scoring career over the next four decades. Prior to all his film and radio scores Bernard Herrmann wrote a series of orchestral works he called 'Melodrams' as accompaniment to poetry readings.
