Scoring "The Killing of Mary Surratt"

[Richard Altenbach]

Just finished scoring Chris King's beautiful "The Killing of Mary Surratt", a very poignant period piece, reenactment Lincoln-era documentary...a very empathetic treatment of a very troubled time and issue, and real opportunity to compose expressive music. Used string orchestra and solo instruments - piano, cello, viola, pioneer fiddle, and acoustic guitar. watermarkfilms.net of Sacramento area.
