- The Tenerife International Film Music Festival will feature a “live-to-picture” screening of the horror film “The Beyond”, scored and performed by composer Fabio Frizzi.
- The concert will be held on September 22nd at Infanta Leonor Auditorium in Los Cristianos.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, March 17th, 2017.- For its eleventh year, the Tenerife International Film Music Festival (FIMUCITÉ) will open at Infanta Leonor Auditorium in Los Cristianos with a tribute concert to italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci. The festival will screen the film “The Beyond” together with the performance of the music. This “live-to-picture” experience will be conducted by the composer of the score, the prominent Fabio Frizzi. This attractive and thrilling event is included in a varied program of concerts and activities to be held from September 22nd to 30th, thanks to the sponsorship of Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, the Canary Islands Government, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Arona City Councils.
This outstanding music show has successfully been performed around the United States and the United Kingdom, among other countries, within Frizzi’s Zombie Apocalypse Tour. The film “The Beyond”, considered to be Fulci’s most important movie, has an 18 rating due to its explicit violent scenes, Italian 80s horror signature.
“The Beyond” has become a cult movie some rankings place it among the best horror films in history, which contains some really shocking and violent scenes. Starred by Catriona MacColl and David Warbeck, the story takes place in a hotel in Louisiana, in the 20s, when strange incidents open a gate that allows the dead to come to the world of the living. Decades later, we see the consequences of those incidents when a young woman tries to renovate it and terrible “accidents” begin to happen.
This live-to-picture concert will be performed by Fabio Frizzi’s Band, featuring Alessandro Errichetti (guitar), Riccardo Rocchi (guitar), Federico Tacchia (drums), Alessio Contorni (keyboards), Roberto Fasciani (bass) and Giulietta Zanardi, one of the most prominent italian vocalists. Frizzi will receive one of the FIMUCITÉ-Antón García Abril honorary awards in recognition of his career.

This tribute will include a retrospection of his filmography, organised in cooperation with Filmoteca Canaria.
Lucio Fulci began his film career with comedies and criminal thrillers, eventually specialising in horror films such as “Zombie 2” (1979), “City of the Living Dead” (1980), “House by the Cemetry” (1981) and “The Beyond” (1981). Filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Sam Raimi have recognised the influence Fulci has had in their works.
Fabio Frizzi has composed the soundtrack of more than seventy films and several TV series. Throughout his career, Frizzi has written music for very different genres, but his greatest recognition has come thanks to his artistic relationship with both director Lucio Fulci and horror films.

Press Release:
THE WORLD PREMIERE OF ‘IT’ WILL HAUNT AND SCARE FIMUCITÉ’S PRIVILEGED AUDIENCE
- The thrilling score of the horror movie of the year will be first performed live in FIMUCITÉ.
- The music from the film will be performed at the festival’s Closing Gala, a concert dedicated to the most well-known soundtracks from productions based on the works of best-selling author Stephen King.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, September 11th, 2017- The latest adaptation of Stephen King’s novel 'IT' hit cinema screens worldwide last Friday. Having grossed 117 million in its opening week, it is the highest-selling box office opener in the horror film genre. This story about a group of children and a monster that takes the form of a clown has also been a phenomenal hit in Spain, taking in over 2.6 million in box office sales.
Its unsettling soundtrack, which is the work of Benjamin Wallfisch, will be performed during the 11th Tenerife International Film Music Festival (FIMUCITÉ XI) that runs from September 22nd – 30th, 2017. In a project that has been created in honour of the prolific writer especially for FIMUCITÉ, the Tenerife composer Diego Navarro will be conducting music from the film ‘IT’ by Andy Muschietti during the concert ‘Stephen King’s Night Gallery’ on Saturday 30th September. The concert programme will also include the world premier of the soundtrack for the 1990s television mini-series adaptation of the novel ‘IT’. The award-winning composer of this music, Richard Bellis, will be a special guest of the festival and will also deliver a master class in the FIMUCITÉ Film Scoring Academy.
In total 16 pieces will be premiered in the concert ‘Stephen King’s Night Gallery’ performed for the Closing Gala of FIMUCITÉ XI. The festival is sponsored by the Cabildo de Tenerife, the Canary Islands Government, Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, and Arona City Council. The Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife and the Children’s Choir of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with Juan Ramón Vinagre as Choir Master, will perform these works.
This journey through the most well-known soundtracks based on the works of Stephen King is completed with other key titles such as ‘Carrie’ (Pino Donaggio), ‘The Dead Zone’ (Michael Kamen), ‘The Green Mile’ and ‘Shawshank Redemption’ (Thomas Newman), and ‘Misery’ (Marc Shaiman). Homage will also be paid to the late composer Daniel Licht, author or several musical adaptations of works by Stephen King, including performances of his compositions for ‘Thinner’, ‘Children of the Corn 2: The Final Sacrifice’ and 'Children of the Corn 3: Urban Sacrifice’. The FIMUCITÉ – Antón García Abril Award will be bestowed to the late composer in recognition of his professional achievements.
In addition, the festival programme includes the works ‘Stand by Me’ (Jack Nietzsche / Ben E. King) from the film ‘Stand By Me’, and ‘The Host of Seraphim’ (Dead Can Dance) from ‘The Mist’, performed by Fran León (who has sung in renowned musicals such as "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita") and Cristina Ramos (winner of “Spain’s Got Talent” 2016).

Fimucite XI: Warriors, magic and blood
As you may have known, I went to the Canarian Island Tenerife last weekend to represent SST at the film music festival over there called Fimucité. It is the fourth time I attended.
Thursday: Warriors of the Silver Screen
The festival was already under way for a couple of days when I arrived. The first concert I attended was a concert with music of movies where warriors play a leading role. Most of the music were from classics like El Cid and Ben-Hur. But also Braveheart, Gladiator and King Arthur (with solo on recorder) were performed. But before music from these movies were played, it was first time for a suite from the game Witcher 3, with the composer Marcin present in the audience. Overall it was a great concert of a young orchestra with musicians who really enjoyed themselves. I was also not really into those classics scores, but since this concert I really want to check those out.

Friday: Sword & Sorcery
The friday concert was in the the most beautiful venue that I know: the auditorium of Santa Cruz. The concert itself was about fantasy movies with magic and barbarians. Music of all kinds of great films were played and some of the composers were also in the audience. For example King Arthur: Legend of the Sword was played because Daniel Pemberton was present, but also music from Season of the Witch by Atli Örvarsson. The main guest of the evening was Trevor Jones, so we could also enjoy some very melodic music from Excalibur, Dark Crystal and Merlin. The last piece he conducted it himself. But there was also another main guest at the concert: composer but also conductor Eimear Noone. She stood at the helm of the concert for almost four hours wearing a beautiful costume and keeping the orchestra in check with her broad motions. All in all it was a very magical show.

Saturday: Stephen King’s Night Gallery
The saturday concert was again in the gorgeous auditorium. This time with music from Stephen King movies. The most of the evening we heard all kind of eerie music from different films and different composers. For example, it was fun to hear music from both the old and the new IT movies. Also there was attention for Daniel Licht who sadly passed away recently and who had also written music for Stephen King movies. For those we do not like eerie music there was the very beautiful “The Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance from The Fog. The singer did her version very well. It is hard to top Lisa Gerrard, but she came very close. The evening ended with two movies with music written by Thomas Newman: The Green Mile, and Shawshank Redemption. I really loved this concert, because the programme was so varied and unique. Also, it was the first time that I heard most pieces. Some of them were arranged especially for this concert.

Conclusion
I had a great time. I really love this festival. What I love about it, is that you just feel at home. The composers and guests are feeling relaxed as well and are walking in the lobby. It is easy to walk to them for a photo or a signature. The concerts themselves are original and of great quality. I just have to say the same thing as I did last year: if you want a holiday with sun, sea and film music: this is the place to be! I also got the chance to interview some of the composers, you will read about them very soon.
