Lee Holdridge: Finding Music in Silence — A Conversation with a Hollywood Master Composer
THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Lee Holdridge
The Legendary Hollywood Film Composers Series
Brought to you by The Jeremiah Show & Executive Producer Carol Connors
“Before the first note is played, there is silence — and within that silence lives Lee Holdridge’s genius.”
Discover the mind behind some of Hollywood’s most beloved scores.
In this episode of The Jeremiah Show’s Hollywood Composers Series, host Jeremiah D. Higgins sits down with Lee Holdridge, the Emmy Award–winning, Grammy-nominated composer celebrated for his richly melodic work on Splash, Moonlighting, Beauty and the Beast, and his collaborations with Neil Diamond (Jonathan Livingston Seagull).
From his early days in Costa Rica to the scoring stages of Hollywood, Holdridge explores how silence becomes music, how melody tells a story, and why true composition begins in the space between the notes.
Listen as Jeremiah and Lee discuss:
The hidden power of silence in film and life
Composing iconic themes that endure through generations
Collaborations with Neil Diamond, Al Jarreau, and Plácido Domingo
The art and discipline of film scoring in an age of constant noise
