Waxman, Franz

Born at Königshütte, Franz Waxman, at his father’s insistence, first studied banking but was able thereafter to train as a musician, taking lessons in composition and piano in Berlin and Dresden. Active as a night-club pianist and as an arranger for a Berlin jazz band, he was commissioned to arrange the score for the film Der blaue Engel (‘The Blue Angel’). In 1934 he moved to Hollywood, working there for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and then for Warner Brothers.

Film Music
Waxman provided music for some 144 films, winning Oscars for Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Suspicion and Rear Window, Fritz Lang’s Liliom and Fury, James Wales’s The Bride of Frankenstein and Victor Fleming’s Captains Courageous.

Instrumental Music
Waxman’s other instrumental music includes his Carmen Fantasy and the fantasy Tristan and Isolde, both originally for violin and orchestra.
