I have been a film score and classical music fan almost 15 years now. Although my library is pretty huge, it isn’t as big as many of you think.

Back in 1992, I saw an independent film from India called Parinda from director Vidu Vinod Chopra. Notice I didn’t say bollywood. That’s because it wasn’t your typical bollywood film and by those days standards, it was one of the most brilliant story with brilliant performances and outstanding direction. The film’s subject line was relationship beween two brothers and one of his girlfriends relation with the mafia world. Without saying much, the film opened up with this classical piece which I am sure you have heard of many times.

It’s called Fanfare of the Comman Man by Aaron Copland
