Composer Tony Manfredonia often brings 18th-century flair to his scores.
He joins us this week for a look at Baroque-inspired game music. We’ll hear themes from World of Warcraft, Assassin’s Creed, Castlevania, and more.
Generous support for the music heard on this program comes from the Robert T. and Ruth Haidt Hughes Memorial Acquisitions Fund. Special thanks to Michael Culler for engineering assistance. Amanda Sewell is IPR's Music Director. Keith Brown is GAMEPLAY’s host and executive producer.
