The purpose of this paper is to recall, and share with the reader, my experience of composing a new score for Dovzhenko's timeless masterpiece, Zemlya (1930) commissioned by the Academy Museum of Motion Picture in Los Angeles. The present work examines the film through the practical process of musical interpretation. In composing the score for Earth, particular attention was paid to the film’s characteristic rhythm of montage and its lyrical treatment of landscape.
