When it comes to writing music for the plays of William Shakespeare, few living composers can claim as much experience as Patrick Doyle, the two-time Academy Award nominee who has collaborated with Kenneth Branagh on screen adaptations including “Henry V,” “Much Ado About Nothing” and “Hamlet.”
Doyle has written music for more than 40 movies, most recently Disney’s live action “Cinderella,” which was released earlier this year. His latest effort represents a return to his roots on the stage: He has scored the new London production of “The Winter’s Tale,” co-directed by Branagh and Rob Ashford, which will be simulcast to cinemas in the U.S. on Monday.
The Scottish composer said that writing music for Shakespeare wasn’t any more intimidating than scoring other movies or stage productions.
