5 ABOUT THE MUSIC UNIVERSAL PICTURES 2016 Babe Pig at the Symphony An unprejudiced heart can change the established order. In 1994, the Kennedy Miller post-production studio in Kings Cross was bursting at the seams with sound editors, visual effect artists, CGI programmers, film editors, animatronic operators and the then 30-something composer Nigel Westlake. Westlake has Technicolor memories of that time: We were all part of the Babe family, and all of us were trying to weave a tale that was underpinned by this simple philosophy the idea that the purity of an unprejudiced spirit can be a real and tangible force for positive change in the world. At the time, Nigel was living with his young family in St Albans, two hour s northwest of Sydney. Engaging him to write the film score was a leap of faith he d only scored two other featurelength films. I set up a room at the studio, and virtually didn t go home for several months. Director Chris Noonan and producer Keynotes NIGEL WESTLAKE Born Perth, 1958 With film credits including Miss Potter, Babe, Babe Pig in the City, Children of the Revolution, A Little Bit of Soul and The Nugget, as well as Imax films Antarctica, Imagine, The Edge and Solarmax, Nigel Westlake has established a formidable international presence. He is known for his sweeping, pictorial scores and has received accolades from APRA, the New York International Radio Festival and the Screen Composers Guild. His concert works have been performed by ensembles and orchestras internationally, and Omphalo Centric Lecture (1984), has become one of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the percussion repertoire, taken up by groups in North America, Japan and Europe as well as Australia. The Hoggetts at home 6

6 George Miller would visit up to three times a day. Every morning Chris would hand me notes for that day s work. It was so clear how he wanted the music to function in the film. It was a godsend to have someone so proscriptive. Chris wasn t telling me what to do musically, but telling me what he wanted the music to achieve dramatically. It was really exciting to have such a focus, and for it not to be a hit-and-miss process. The main theme the Babe theme is lifted directly from the famous maestoso passage in the third movement of Camille Saint-Saëns so-called Organ Symphony, his Symphony No.3 (1886). In the context of the film score, the organ is never heard. It was too heavy, too gothic, for the tone of the movie, says Nigel, but the theme is optimistic and wholesome, and very versatile. It can be subtle and sweet, or heraldic and jubilant, depending on the demands of the scene. Nigel Westlake STEPHEN FORREST UNIVERSAL PICTURES 2016 Did Saint-Saëns like animals? Well sure, his grand zoological fantasy The Carnival of the Animals (1886) might suggest a fond affinity. But in fact that collection of musical parodies was written for private performance only, and Saint- Saëns banned all public performances during his lifetime, with the exception of The Swan. Sticky beaks UNIVERSAL PICTURES

7 In fact, Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony wasn t the direct inspiration for Babe s theme. In the 1970s, pop singers Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley had a Top of the Pops hit in Britain and Australia with the song If I had words, which took the same maestoso melody from Saint-Saëns and added a reggae beat. It was this song, with lyrics by Jonathan Hodge, that Chris Noonan and George Miller had already settled on before Nigel joined the team. If I had words, to make a day for you, I d give you a morning, golden and true. I would make this day, last for all time, Then fill the night deep in moonshine. The song is heard in full twice in the film sung by Farmer Hoggett at the film s emotional highpoint when Babe s survival Chris Noonan and George Miller s screenplay for Babe was based on the 1983 children s novel The Sheep-Pig by Dick King-Smith, who had spent 20 years working as a farmer in rural England. In a nod to the story s provenance, the sheepdog championship takes place at Kingsmith Fairground and towards the beginning of the film, Esme Hoggett polishes a trophy for the Kingsmith Dick Show UNIVERSAL PICTURES 2016 UNIVERSAL PICTURES 2016 UNIVERSAL PICTURES

8 is in question, and again as the end credits roll: all s well that ends well, and the trio of mice who appear at each of the scene changes serenade the audience out of the theatre with a more comic touch. Their performance is in fact a sped-up version of the 1970s pop song. Chris Noonan says the song was a stake in the ground for Nigel. You can have an infinite number of possibilities when you start scoring something. It s good to limit that infinity down a bit. Nigel, for his part, tried to talk both director and producer out of using Saint-Saëns theme, and championed the idea of only using original music. I was concerned about the exploitation of classical music for commercial gain. Naïvely, I suggested a couple of alternate melodies that were quickly rejected; the Saint-Saëns was already ingrained as part of their conception of the film. He soon came to appreciate the theme s adaptability for dramatic purpose. In total, the 92-minute film contains a 78-minute score, of which 10 minutes come from the Saint-Saëns, 62 minutes are original music from Nigel, and the remainder, music by Léo Delibes (Pizzicato, from the ballet Sylvia) and Edvard Grieg (Springdans, a Norwegian leaping dance from his Lyric Pieces, Op.47, for piano). Nigel s original music introduces two other leitmotifs themes that accompany a character or idea in the story. Farmer Hoggett, as the other central character, earned one of his very own. He s a hard-working, productive man. Somewhat eccentric, but completely honest. James Cromwell, who plays Hoggett, is tall and slim. The bassoon was the logical choice for him. In the right context, it can lend itself to slightly comical situations, but is capable of communicating poise and integrity at the same time. Incidentally, it s rumoured that Cromwell nearly turned down the role on the basis that the script had only about 16 lines of dialogue. The film subsequently garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Nigel s other original theme, nicknamed The River of Sadness, underscored the dark fate that awaited many of the farmyard friends. For instance, the moment when the pigs are being herded into the meat truck to be transported to that other world of endless pleasures. George Miller asked for poignant, heartrending music at this point, says Nigel. I wanted to imbue it with immense tragedy. It s some of the saddest music I d written up to that point in my life. Producer George Miller was very proactive in the creation of the film score, and Nigel felt a genuine enthusiasm and fondness from him for the music he was writing. George seemed to love the music from the sheep rustling scene. He rang me up quite a few times from Los Angeles, gridlocked in LA traffic. He d call 'Pig of Destiny!' Did you know Babe was filmed in Robertson, in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. The Rules of Sheepdog Trials, the cloth-bound book consulted by Farmer Hoggett, was specially made by Sydney bookbinders Newbould and Collins. UNIVERSAL PICTURES

9 and say Nigel, play me the sheep rustling scene. I d turn the speakers up and play it to him down the phone. For Nigel, a film score s purpose is to lead the audience s nose to the source of the dramatic subtext and emotional content. There s a fine line between manipulating your audience through music to force the drama down their throats and allowing them to discover it for themselves. In re-visiting the score in 2014, Nigel set aside a number of months much longer than he d originally spent writing it to prepare it for live performance accompanying the film. Conscientious to a fault, Nigel says he couldn t handle the thought of standing in front of an orchestra with something that I knew I could have done better. Looking at the revised score horizontally, he says it s identical. The music starts and stops in the same places, hits all the same sync points, has all the same melodies. It maintains 100 per cent integrity to the original. Vertically, however, through the orchestration, he has adapted the score to better suit live performance. You can do things in a recording studio that just aren t possible in a concert hall. When it s live, it s all happening in the moment, so there s not the same chance to move a microphone closer for greater warmth. Using the original as bare bones, I ve enriched it by consolidating textures and colours. There s different harmonic distribution of the notes, different voicings. The melodic ideas have been reinforced and given more colouration within the orchestration. Music can serve a different function for every film. The score for Babe is very proactive. It s enmeshed in the onscreen action, almost like another character. Nigel says the score is very much in the style of a traditional storybook. The idea was that the score would sound like some kind of classical symphony. Back in 1994, the last thing I wrote was the first thing you hear. The overture plays underneath the opening scene. Just as the camera reveals all the characters, the music too reveals all the musical elements before you actually see them, functioning in the same way as a classical form overture. I look back now and see the use of classical elements as very clever. At the time I had trouble accepting George and Chris s instructions to use the Saint-Saëns, Grieg and Delibes, but now I recognise it as something of a stroke of genius that has helped to make the film timeless. Did you know Saint-Saëns composed the earliest original film score in the history of cinema for the silent movie L Assassinat du duc de Guise in (Search YouTube for «André Calmettes: The Assassination of the Duke of Guise») GENEVIEVE LANG 2016 The concert score for Babe calls for two flutes (doubling piccolos, alto flute and tin whistle), two oboes (one doubling cor anglais), two clarinets (one doubling bass clarinet) and two bassoons (one doubling contrabassoon); four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba; timpani and a large percussion section; harp, piano and celesta; and strings. 10

11 MORE MUSIC BABE AND BEYOND: BOOKS See the movie read the book! The Babe screenplay is based on the 1983 children s novel The Sheep-Pig by Dick King-Smith, who spent 20 years working as a farmer in rural England. Find it in your local bookshop. And while we re on the theme of pigs in classic books, we have to recommend the story of Wilbur and his guardian spider in Charlotte s Web by the great American author and essayist E.B. White. To borrow a phrase: Some story! In her beautifully illustrated stories, Beatrix Potter gives a moment in the spotlight to Little Pig Robinson and Pigling Bland. And of course there is Piglet in A.A. Milne s Winnie-the-Pooh. Less adorable are the pigs who take charge in George Orwell s Animal Farm. NIGEL WESTLAKE One of Nigel Westlake s most enduringly popular concert works is the thrilling Omphalo Centric Lecture for marimbas. You can find it in a multi-track recording with Michael Askill playing all four parts on the all- Westlake album Onomatopoeia. TALL POPPIES TP047 The revised orchestral score of Babe (as heard in this performance) has been recorded by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, who also played on the original soundtrack. Nigel Westlake conducts. ABC CLASSICS Westlake s more recent film score for Paper Planes is also available in a recording with the MSO conducted by the composer, with the Lior song Live to Learn. ABC CLASSICS For an example of his work in the IMAX realm, look for the recording of Westlake s evocative score for Antarctica, featuring guitarist Timothy Kain, with Carl Vine conducting a studio orchestra. TALL POPPIES TP012 Or look for the Antarctica concert suite with its adorable Penguin Ballet movement. It has been recorded several times, most recently on Slava Grigoryan s album of guitar music by Nigel Westlake: Shadow Dances. The title work is a concerto for guitar and chamber orchestra. ABC CLASSICS You can hear the composer as soloist on Out of the Blue. He plays his bass clarinet concerto Invocations, and the all-westlake album is completed by the Antarctica suite (Timothy Kain, guitar) and out of the blue for strings. David Porcelijn conducts the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. ABC CLASSICS If you ve heard the SSO perform with Nigel Westlake in recent years you might remember the Sydney premiere of the powerfully moving Missa Solis Requiem for Eli. This has been recorded by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with boy soprano Liam Crisanti. ABC CLASSICS More recently the SSO commissioned Compassion, a song cycle composed in collaboration with singersongwriter Lior. This too is available on ABC Classics, with Westlake conducting the SSO.

12 ABOUT THE ARTIST STEPHEN FORREST Nigel Westlake conductor Following clarinet studies with his father, Donald Westlake (former principal clarinettist with the SSO), Nigel Westlake left the Sydney Conservatorium High School early to pursue a performance career. He toured Australia and the world performing as a freelance clarinettist, bass clarinettist and saxophonist with ballet companies, a circus troupe, chamber music ensembles, fusion bands and orchestras. He went on to perform with the Australia Ensemble ( ) and was later a member of guitarist John Williams group Attacca, as both performer and composer. In the late 1970s he formed a classical/jazzrock/world music/fusion band to play original compositions. It was during this time he began to receive offers to compose for radio, circus, television and film. In 1983 he studied bass clarinet with Harry Sparnaay and composition with Theo Loevendie in the Netherlands. The following year he was appointed composer in residence for ABC Radio. At first he balanced his life as a composer with a busy international performing schedule, but in the early 1990s he turned his focus to composition. His film credits include Paper Planes, Miss Potter, Babe, Babe Pig in the City, Children of the Revolution and Imax films such as Antarctica, The Edge, Imagine and Solarmax, and his work for television encompasses documentaries, telemovies, news themes and station idents. His Opus 1, Omphalo Centric Lecture for percussion quartet (1984) has become one of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the percussion repertoire. Recent concert works include Missa Solis Requiem for Eli (Orchestral Work of the Year at the APRA AMC 2012 Art Music Awards, Best New Composition in the 2011 Limelight Awards, and winner of the 2013 Paul Lowin Orchestral Prize) and Compassion a song cycle composed with singer-songwriter Lior and commissioned by the SSO (2014 ARIA for Best Classical Album). In addition to 15 APRA awards, his composing accolades include the Gold Medal at the New York International Radio Festival. He made his conducting debut with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in 1997 and has since worked with all the major Australian orchestras. He made his SSO debut in 2011, conducting Missa Solis, and appeared more recently conducting Compassion. In recent years he has been awarded an honorary Doctorate in Music by the University of New South Wales, and was appointed composer in residence for the 2012 Australian Festival of Chamber Music. In 2008 he formed the Smugglers of Light Foundation in memory of his son Eli. smugglersoflight.com 13
