Why do we include a book in our Sheet Music Library? First, we have a section called “Rare & curious Piano & Music Books”, where we have old books, special books, related to the music and musicians, biographies of composers and peformers, etc. Secondly, the MUSIC has a very important place in the films of Woody Allen, (by the way, this happens in many films as well). On the other hand, the Jazz Music is a key element not only in his movies, but also in his life, as he’s a Clarinet player in a Jazz Band (the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band).
Born in York, Barry spent his early years working in cinemas owned by his father. During his national service with the British Army in Cyprus, Barry began performing as a musician after learning to play the trumpet. Upon completing his national service, he formed his own band in 1957, the John Barry Seven.
He later developed an interest in composing and arranging music, making his début for television in 1958. He came to the notice of the makers of the first James Bond film Dr. No, who were dissatisfied with a theme for James Bond given to them by Monty Norman. Noel Rogers the head of music at United Artists approached Barry. This started a successful association between Barry and Bond series that lasted for 25 years.
Barry completed his last film score, Enigma, in 2001 and recorded the successful album Eternal Echoes the same year. He then concentrated chiefly on live performances and co-wrote the music to the musical Brighton Rock in 2004 alongside Don Black.
Michael Laurence Nyman is an English composer, pianist, librettist and musicologist. He is known for his highly prolific collaborations with Peter Greenaway and Jane Campion. He is also highly revered for his opera compositions and chamber music.
Michael Nyman was born in Stratford, London on March 23, 1944. Nyman started his education at the Sir George Monoux Grammar School in Walthamstow and he later graduated to King’s College London, where he studied music under the famous British Composer and Musicologist, Alan Bush. Under Bush’s instruction, Nyman secured an admission to the Royal Academy of Music in September 1961, where he studied baroque music and piano with Thurston Dart. During his time at the Academy, Nyman won the Howard Carr Memorial Award for Composition in 1964, and in 1966 he served a period of residency in Romania under the support of the British Council bursary.
Nyman’s immediate work after his residency was his libretto for Harrison Birtwistle’s opera titled “Down by the Greenwood Side”. The opera was received warmly and Nyman went on to direct a short film titled “Love Love Love” in 1969. Around this time, Nyman also started writing articles as a music critic, and in 1968, Nyman became the first person to ever use the term “minimalism” for music. The choice of the word was reserved for Cornelius Cardew in a 1968 “Spectator” Magazine Article.
Despite his career as a music critic, Nyman never shied away from composing music himself. He often collaborated with Peter Greenaway for his films. Nyman’s scores for Greenaway included works for “The Draughtsman’s Contract (1982)”, “The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989)”, “A Zed and Two Noughts (1985)”, “Drowning by Numbers (1988)” and “Prospero’s Books (1991)”. Nyman often used earlier music sources relevant to Greenaway’s films for his scores, these included works from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Henry Purcell, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and John Dowland.
Nyman also wrote a few scores for Hollywood, these included the score for the well received science fiction movie “Gattaca”, the score for Antonio Bird’s horror epic “Ravenous”, and the score for Neil Jordan’s “The End of the Affair”.
Nyman’s popularity soared in 1993 when he wrote the score to Jane Campion’s multiple Academy Award Winning Movie, “The Piano”. Nyman won a Chicago Film Critics Association Award and an AACTA Award for Best Original Score. The score was also nominated for a Golden Globe and a British Academy Award. The soundtrack album itself was certified platinum multiple times.
Nyman once admitted that he enjoyed writing opera more than he enjoyed writing any other form of music, and it is certainly in opera where Nyman is most prolific. In 1986, Nyman wrote “The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat”, the libretto was provided by Christopher Rawlence and the music was heavily inspired by the works of Robert Schumann. Nyman also wrote “Noises, Sounds and Sweet Airs” in 1991, the libretto to which was William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. More recently, Nyman wrote “Facing Goya” in 2000, which was an opera that was related to his earlier works. He also wrote “Man and Boy: Dada” in 2003 and “Love Counts” in 2005.
Nyman is also the author of four string quartets, six concerti, and several chamber works. Today, he mostly spends his time as a performing pianist.

Nyman’s music re-used
Nyman’s “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” (from The Piano) is the music on which Italian rock noir band Belladonna‘s song “Let There Be Light” is based. Released in December 2010, the track features Michael Nyman himself on piano.
Nyman’s “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” (from The Piano) was used as backing music for one of the bank advertisements for Lloyds TSB broadcast on television. It has also been featured in episodes of 20/20.
Music from Ravenous has been used at least once on WFYI‘s Across Indiana, in a segment titled “On the Trail of John Hunt Morgan“, produced by Scott Andrew Hutchins.
Nyman’s soundtrack for Carrington is mostly based on his own String Quartet No. 3.
A Cock and Bull Story contains music from The Draughtsman’s Contract, as well as Nyman’s arrangements of classical music used in Stanley Kubrick‘s Barry Lyndon. (It does not use any music from Nyman’s Tristram Shandy opera.)
Nyman’s music for Peter Greenaway’s films has been used in the Japanese television program Iron Chef.
Nyman features in ‘9 Songs‘ (Michael Winterbottom, 2004) playing at the Hackney Empire on his 60th birthday.
Nyman’s MGV: Musique à grande vitesse was used in November 2006 for a new one-act ballet for the Royal Ballet in London, DGV (danse à grande vitesse) by Christopher Wheeldon.
Nyman’s “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” was covered by the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Nyman had refused to release the song initially; the band was later granted permission and the song was released on 29 February 2012 as part of the single The Crow, the Owl and the Dove from their album Imaginaerum.
Time Lapse was used in Sky’s 2008 ‘Heroes’ advert
Selections from Nyman’s catalogue formed part of the soundtrack for James Marsh‘s 2008 documentary, Man on Wire, a film about Philippe Petit, a Frenchman, who in 1974 illegally strung a tightrope between the top of the WTC buildings and danced between them for 45 minutes, thus committing the “artistic crime of the 20th century”.
Nyman’s piece “Car Crash” from A Zed & Two Noughts was used for once on the final episode of a Greek series called ‘To Kafe Tis Xaras’
Nyman’s soundtrack for Wonderland has been used as part of the soundtrack for Juan Rodriguez-Briso’s 2014 documentary film, Eighteam based on the true story of the Zambian national football team and its journey from tragedy to glory.

Not all of the music in the film was composed specifically for it: earlier music by Glass, including a theme from his opera Satyagraha, was also featured and credited separately at the end of the film.
Michael Riesman and Nico Muhly arranged the soundtrack for piano solo. This score was published in 2003 as a 64-paged book containing most of the tracks (excluding “For Your Own Benefit”, “Vanessa and the Changelings” and “The Kiss”).
