Alex North: A Streetcar Named Desire (Full Score)

The music in “A Streetcar Named Desire" is a great example of a classic Hollywood score, full of rich textures and wonderful themes. It is a master class in writing music under dialogue, and there is a lot of dialogue in “Streetcar." It ranges from entire scenes, or simply just one name (if you know, then you know). North displays a mastery of using orchestral textures and polychordal harmony to tell a story. If you like your scores tragic, moody, and sexy, then this is the score for you.
