Film+MusikFest City Girl
Bielefelder Philharmoniker conducted by Bernd Wilden - Rudolf-Oetker-Halle
Program Info: Bernd Wilden - City Girl (1930)
As an integral part of the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Society's Film+MusicFest, the Bielefeld Philharmonic Orchestra can once again be experienced as a cinema orchestra in the Great Hall of the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle.
After the orchestra premiered the film music for Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's City Girl , newly composed by Bernd Wilden , in 2015, Murnau's last Hollywood film, which was released in cinemas in February 1930, will be shown again at the festival under the direction of the composer:
Lem Tustine, son of a wheat farmer in Minnesota, travels to Chicago to sell the year's crop. In the hustle and bustle of the big city he meets the waitress Kate, who, in keeping with the feeling of the 1920s, longs for the idyll and peace of the rural expanses. A lasting encounter, because the two of them decide to get married shortly before Lem's departure. Murnau then uses impressive images to describe the fulfilling atmosphere of rural Minnesota, the love between Lem and Kate, and the tensions that arise - caused by the city girl? – develop in the rather conservative life of the farming society. With a touching happy ending.
Recently an integral part of current silent film music, Bernd Wilden's compositions create a score that fits the images; to accompaniment or accompaniment of the event or even as a sound track.
