{"title":"Theodore Shapiro","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheodore Shapiro rapidly rose to prominence as a composer in diverse forms of music while still in his twenties. By the age of twenty-five, he had performed both in Carnegie Hall and on MTV. (He pronounces his surname Sha-PY-ro.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis undergraduate studies were at Brown University (B.A. in music). His graduation thesis was a musical, Deep Freeze (1992) that was performed at the Leeds Theater in Providence, Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe entered undergraduate studies at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, where he now lives. He studied with composers David Diamond and Ron Nelson. While still attending Juilliard he became the writer-in-residence in the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's Music Theater Festival of 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter he completed his master's degree in 1995, he entered and won the First Music Composition Competition of the New York Youth Symphony. The work was a flute concerto entitled Ophelia. It was premiered at Carnegie Hall in December, 1996 with Eugenia Zukerman. Critics noted his keen ear for orchestral colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe has also written a vocal\/orchestral work, The Dreamful Heart (1995) the orchestral work Of Blood and Carnations (1997), and Three Songs for Spring for soprano and piano (1995), and a string quartet in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1997, he composed the score of Morgan J. Freeman's film Hurricane Streets, which won the Directing Award and the Audience Award at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival. Staying involved in independent film, he has also scored Safe Men (1998), Prince of Central Park (1999) starring Kathleen Turner, Harvey Keitel, and Danny Aiello, Restaurant (1999), On the Ropes (1999), and Six Ways to Sunday (1999). He also has composed for Comedy Central's \"Viva Variety\" and for MTV's sketch comedy \"The State.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a concert played by pianist Awadigin Pratt, Shapiro introduced himself, which led to Pratt commissioning him to write a piece for soprano, and piano quartet called City of Windows for the 1998 Next Generation Festival. The work was a great success, so Pratt invited Shapiro to write a concerto for piano and orchestra, which the composer named Avenues. Pratt played the premiere in November 1999 at the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. It calls for a standard orchestra plus saxophone, a large percussion section, and an offstage piano, and reflects the busy, noisy pace of life in New York City. The work has been scheduled by other symphonies in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"original-soundtrack-ghostbusters-2016","title":"| Ghostbusters (Original Motion Picture Score) (Slime Green Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eWho you gonna call?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eGhostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth.

He has consistently delivered memorable music for some of the funniest movies of the past five years. Shapiro's careful touch has made him a sought-after collaborator for some of Hollywood's leading comedy directors: David Frankel (Prada, Marley), Stiller (Tropic Thunder), John Hamburg (I Love You, Man, Along Came Polly), Mike Judge (Idiocracy) and, most recently, Harold Ramis (Year One). Shapiro, 37, is a rarity in modern film music: a classically trained composer (bachelor's degree from Brown, master's from Juilliard) who, despite commissions for classical works (including a well-received piano concerto in 1999), decided he'd rather be working in film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eA1        The Aldridge Mansion\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        The Garrett Attack\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Never Invited\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Distinct Human Form\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        The Universe Shall Bend\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Subway Ghost Attack\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA7        Ghost Girl\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA8        Mannequins\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA9        Ghost In A Box\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA10        Dr. Heiss\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA11        Ley Lines\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Pester The Living\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        I Will Lead Them All\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        The Power Of Patty Compels You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        The Fourth Ctaclysm\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Balloon Parade\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Battle Of Times Square\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB7        Entering The Mercado\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB8        Behemoth\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB9        Into The Portal\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB10        NY Heart GB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003eLabel: MUSIC ON VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
