WE WILL MISS BUDDY BAKER
Dr. Ron Sadoff, Director of NYU Film Scoring
Buddy Baker Biography Buddy Baker, composer, educator, "Disney Legend," and our friend, passed away on July 26th, 2002 at the age of 84. Less than two months after driving cross-country, and immersing himself in every aspect of a robust, two weeks of film scoring workshops at NYU, Buddy's passing both surprised and saddened us. In addition to the respect we felt toward Buddy's compositional prowess, we remember his unassuming and easy-going demeanor, which invited all to readily approach him. We'll
long for his infectious enthusiasm toward composing music for pictures. His program and faculty at USC's Thornton School of Music
thrived on his steadfast dedication and enormous energy. The academy will remember him as a pioneer in his defining and promoting the art of composing music to moving image. Present and future generations will bask in the eloquence and imagination of his Disney themes and scores spanning nearly four decades, ranging from "Winnie the Pooh" to "The Fox and The Hound," "Napoleon and Samantha," and music for Disney theme parks worldwide.
From 1998-2002, I was lucky enough to spend a great deal of time with Buddy in developing our NYU Film Scoring Workshops. His endless quest for effective ways to structure his teaching and our workshops' materials was a source of inspiration and a catalyst for creative work. Because Buddy's spirit will continue to inspire us, our workshop will be renamed only slightly:
