Composer Jono Hill was given a unique task: to compose the score for a film about a classical musician. The movie As Far as the Eye Can See (directed by David Franklin and written by Paden Fallis) follows Jack Ridge, a now 40-year-old former Van Cliburn Competition winner who is more or less hiding out on his family's land in Texas. In this episode of Classical Classroom, Hill talks about the unique process of composing for film, and about the special challenges of composing for a movie with classical music at its center.

Music in this episode:

• Tubaluba presents "Tubaluba Tidal Wave" featuring Janet Schwab
• Brahms Six Piano Pieces, Op. 118 Intermezzo in A Minor Murray Perahia, piano

Special Thanks to Todd Reynolds for his music, Taskforce: Farmlab from Outerbourough.
