Music in Disney’s Animated Movies at Seekonk Library

Seekonk, MA –We all have a classic Disney movie we love. Most of us can probably name one or two that may have defined our childhood one way or another. To this day, who can even talk about Bambi’s mom? Join us at the Seekonk Library on Monday, September 18th at 6:00 pm where we will be having a presentation on the Music in Disney’s Animated Movies and their importance in modern history.

Composer and author, James Bohn, joins us with a presentation on his recently published book “Music in Disney’s Animated Features.” His research into Disney explores the music of the studio’s earlier films: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” through “the Jungle Book.” Bohn’s presentation will discuss selections from his book as well show aspects of musical theater and opera that occur in Disney’s music.

James Bohn is a local composer, scholar, and faculty member at Stonehill College and Bridgewater State University. He has taught classes on the Music of Disney at Bridgewater State which eventually lead to the writing and publication of his book on the Music in Disney’s Animated Features. His own music has been performed internationally as well as throughout the United States and has appeared on several recording labels. He is the author of numerous articles as well as a book on composer Lejaren Hiller.
