Newly Restored, Newly Scored!
As part of an on-going mission to produce new music scores for un-scored silent films (many of which have been out of circulation and considered missing for over 8 decades), Turner Classic Movies in conjunction with Film Music Magazine, MP3.COM and Guitar Center created the Young Film Composers Competition, an annual event with national coverage.

Peter Vantine was chosen as the grand prize recipient for 2001. As part of the award, Peter was hired to compose the full score for the 1921 classic silent film version of Camille, starring Alla Nazimova and Rudolph Valentino. After the score was completed, Peter was flown out to California to record the score with top calibre LA studio musicians. The premiere aired on Turner Classic Movies on February 14th, 2002 along with four other Valentino films. This 1921 version of "Camille" with complete score is now available on DVD with the Greta Garbo version. [ n e x t ]
