Celebrating David Rose

In honor of David Rose's Centennial one year ago, the family of the television and film-scoring great created two special awards for 2011 presented to participants in ASCAP's Television & Film Scoring workshops.

Chad Rehmann who resides in Los Angeles, has many credits including the award winning independent film Everyman's War, ABC Family's The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, and Lifetime Network's Next Stop Murder. Agatha Kasprzyk lives in New York City and recently recorded an original score for A Viagem (dir. Simão Cayatte), which was selected to premiere in the Cinéfondation category at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

Over the course of a long career, British-born David Rose made an indelible mark on film and television music, as well as easy listening instrumental music. His best-known works include the instrumental standards, "Holiday for Strings" and "The Stripper," the score for the science fiction classic, Forbidden Planet, music for Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and decades of work with radio and television star Red Skelton.
