As I've mentioned a few times (both here and on the Twitters), I was a panelist on a session entitled "Murray's Gold: The Music of Doctor Who." I really had a wonderful time with my co-panelists Mick Schubert, Ramie Tateishi, and (our "faux-moderator") CJ DeAngelus. It was clear that we are all instructors and really wanted participation from the people attending the session. And the folks that came by for the panel were very eager to chat about the music!

We more or less stuck to what the conference program mentioned in the abstract:
We also spent some time talking about the opening title theme, its changes and iterations, different interpretations and narrative implications of the music, comparing the production values of the Classic and New Series, and a bunch of other stuff.
Thanks to the lovely Chip from the Two Minute Time Lord podcast, I have a recording of the session to share with the masses. I ran it through The Levelator to bring up the volume of the audience questions and bring out the music clips a bit. Hopefully next year we can have another music panel and be in a room with a sound system!

If you liked the panel, please write to Shaun Lyon and let him and the Gallifrey One staff know! We'd love to do it again next year, and be able to play more samples and maybe talk more about the Classic Series in addition to the New.
Special thanks to Chip for being so kind in lending his recorder to me for the session, to my co-panelists for being super awesome, to everyone who attended the panel, to all the kind words and remarks from attendees afterwards, and to Shaun Lyon and Gallifrey One for putting together a panel about the music. I hope we can do it again!

One of the most unique and memorable things about Doctor Who today is its music, and one of the most important parts of that is the composer at its heart: Murray Gold. Our panel will discuss Gold's musical contributions to the series, as well as the most memorable pieces and themes.
