To the editor: Guest contributor Alixandra Kupcik makes some good points in her op-ed on film scores (“Whatever happened to the big film score?,” Oct. 28). One thing I might add is that all those fantastic musicians who contributed to these iconic scores were rarely, if ever, listed in the movie credits.
My father was a studio musician who lent his French horn-playing to some of the most beloved movie scores, including “Psycho,” which Kupcik mentioned. It is very sad that he, and so many others, were never credited.
