“It was a cacophonous, classic European street band,” he recalled. He was inspired to write the whimsical, upbeat tune they’d just played, he said, while sitting in a café in the south of France, when a local brass band walked in. Then he launched into a little story for the orchestra’s benefit. After a clean first take, he beamed and pronounced himself “chuffed.” When Doyle arrived, he took a seat beside Gomez-Estevez and followed along with the score. “Just bring it all up, whatever you’re doing.” “Much more of the double forte,” he said. Recording 'Hogwarts'Ĭonducted by club founder Gabriela Sofia Gomez-Estevez, fresh off the orchestra’s sold-out show in early March at the Berklee Performance Center, the 40-piece orchestra recorded “Hogwarts’ March” and “Hogwarts’ Hymn.” From the control room, which was crowded with about 20 observing students and faculty members, composition major Isaac Johnson used the talkback system to make a suggestion after the orchestra rehearsed the march for the first time. Among the composer’s other works are a wide range of soundtracks for Sense and Sensibility, Carlito’s Way, Brave, and Cinderella.

He spent part of a Friday afternoon at a recording session for the student orchestra, which convened to celebrate his visit. Thanks in part to a grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Doyle was the featured speaker at Berklee's annual Liberal Arts Symposium and was on campus for a brief residency in the Film Scoring Department. “Has anyone ever told you that you write beautiful melodies?”ĭoyle recalled those words from a mentor while meeting with members of Berklee’s Harry Potter Soundtrack Orchestra (HPSO) in early April. All he needed was a simple phrase of encouragement to make it a career: When he began composing, he assumed making up songs was something everyone could do. As a boy growing up in small-town Scotland, Patrick Doyle couldn’t wait to get to his junior orchestra rehearsals every Sunday.
