Short: Tune in to hear how composers Drum & Lace (aka Sofia Hultquist) and Ian Hultquist brought the music of 20thCentury Studios’ Rosaline to life. A fresh twist on Romeo and Juliet, the pair reveled in the challenge of mixing traditional, period-piece instruments and iconic contemporary pop songs with a Renaissance flair. In this episode, the husband and wife team share insights on using traditional instruments such as harpsichord, lute, wooden flutes, renaissance drums and more, and reimagining a few iconic pop songs with a Renaissance ensemble, creating a sound best described as “Baroque-Pop.”
Long: In this episode, husband and wife composing team, Drum & Lace (aka Sofia Hultquist) and Ian Hultquist pull back the curtain on how they created a score for Rosaline, a fresh and comedic twist on Shakespeare’s classic love story “Romeo & Juliet,” that compositionally feels modern but uses a mix of instrumentation from the film's period including harpsichord, lute, wooden flutes, renaissance drums and more. Notes the pair, ““One of the most interesting, challenging, and fun parts of working on the film was integrating traditional instruments of the time, into a score with a pop-sensibility. Learning how to write and arrange for these instruments and making them work alongside harps and synths, was exhilarating and was furthered when we had a chance to cover a few iconic pop songs with our Renaissance ensemble.”
