Gerard Carbonara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerard Carbonara (b. Dec. 8, 1886, New York City, USA - d. Jan, 11, 1959 in Sherman Oaks, California, USA) was an American film score composer.
Carbonara began his film music career at the end of the silent film era. In the 1930s and 1940s he scored numerous films, among them Stagecoach (1939). Despite the fact that this movie won an Oscar for its music, he was not counted among the winners; he never won an Oscar, though he was once nominated (for The Kansan in 1943). In the 1940s, especially after World War II, he was involved with short films. Carbonara often worked closely with his colleague John Leipold.
