Welcome to Intermezzo from Interlochen Public Radio, where we take a few minutes to bounce some ideas around about classical music.
This week, Christy L'Esperance and her co-host Isaac talk about the wonderful worlds within Studio Ghibli movies — classic animated works with timeless characters and stories — through selections of the film scores, composed by Joe Hisaishi! We'll check out music from a different film each day.
We've discussed themes and music from "My Neighbor Totoro," "Kiki's Delivery Service," "Spirited Away," and "Howl's Moving Castle."
Today we'll look at a film that asks the question, "Tiny little fishy, who could you really be?": "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" (2008).
