The American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP)
presented its distinguished Henry Mancini
Award to Howard Shore and its prestigious
Opus Award to Clint Eastwood during the
19th annual ASCAP Film and Television Awards
gala held on April 21st at the Beverly Hilton
Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. In addition
to honoring Shore and Eastwood, the event
honored the composers, songwriters and publishers
of the biggest box office film music and
the most performed television music of the
year. Over 700 members of the music industry
elite attended the event, which was hosted
by Academy-Award winning lyricist and President
and Chairman of ASCAP, Marilyn Bergman.
One of the evening's special
highlights was the presentation of the
ASCAP Henry Mancini Award to Oscar, Golden
Globe, and Grammy-award winning composer
Howard Shore, in recognition of his outstanding
achievements and contributions to the
world of film and television music. Comedic
actress, producer and director Penny Marshall
presented the award to Shore along with
Marilyn Bergman. Shore and Marshall collaborated
on the box office hit Big. Past recipients
of the award include Quincy Jones, Michel
Legrand, Johnny Mandel, Randy Newman,
James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, and
Hans Zimmer.
ASCAP composer member Clint
Eastwood was presented with the ASCAP
Opus Award, which honors individuals who
recognize and understand the importance
of music to film. Eastwood joins a select
group of directors who have previously
received the award including Stanley Donen,
Norman Jewison and Robert Wise. Jazz great
Herbie Hancock was on hand to help Bergman
make the presentation to Eastwood.

 Clint Eastwood
has been a premier box-office
star for a staggering 38 years.
In an industry that has defined
fame as fleeting, he is truly
an icon. He is an actor, director,
producer, film composer and
an ASCAP member! Most recently,
his Malpaso Productions film,
Mystic River, was
nominated for six Academy
Awards, with Sean Penn and
Tim Robbins winning for Best
Actor and Best Supporting
Actor, awards that are also
a tribute to the director.

Another highlight of the evening was a tribute
by Henry Mancini's daughter, Monica, who performed
the songs "Dear Heart" and "Two
for the Road," in honor of her father.
ASCAP renamed its "Golden Soundtrack Award"
in honor of Mancini in 1996 to pay tribute to
one of the most successful music composers in
the history of film and television. 2004 marks
the 80th birthday year of Mancini, and on April
13th of this year, a commemorative U.S. postage
stamp was issued in his honor.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a letter
congratulating ASCAP on its 90th birthday, and
all of the award winners including Clint Eastwood,
Howard Shore, and Marco Beltrami who was honored
for his score to Terminator 3: Rise of the
Machines.

U.S. Postal Service has issued 80
million commemorative stamps to immortalize
the achievements of celebrated ASCAP
film and television composer, Henry
Mancini. Hank, whose hit songs and
film scores are known to us all, received
20 Grammys and four Academy Awards.
His albums have sold more than 30
million copies. The world lost Hank
ten years ago. He would have celebrated
his 80th birthday this year.
A first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony
took place on April 13 at Music Center
Plaza, which was hosted by former
U.S. Senator John Glenn and featured
the USC Trojan Marching Band performing
classic Mancini compositions. Renowned
flutist Sir James Galway also performed
with 100 high school flutists from
throughout California. Postmaster
General John E. Potter and S. David
Fineman, chairman of the presidentially
appointed U.S. Postal Service Board
of Governors, made the presentation.
Later that evening, a special tribute
concert was held at Walt Disney Concert
Hall, co-hosted by Senator Glenn and
longtime Mancini family friend, Julie
Andrews. The concert featured Michael
Feinstein, Quincy Jones, Monica Mancini,
John Williams and the Henry Mancini
Institute Alumni Orchestra, conducted
by Patrick Williams, with all proceeds
benefiting the Henry Mancini Institute
(HMI).
Henry Mancini became a member of
ASCAP in 1952 and served on the Board
of Directors from 1967 to 1971. In
1988, at ASCAP's Film and Television
Music Awards, he received the Society's
Golden Soundtrack Award. The award
was then re-named in his honor in
1996. Since his death, ASCAP and The
ASCAP Foundation have continued to
work with Ginny Mancini and the HMI
to continue Hank's commitment to the
global importance of music and arts
education. ASCAP is proud to celebrate
2004 and The Year of Mancini.
