Kehidupan pribadi

[sunting | sunting sumber]

Lahir di Los Angeles, California, dia merupakan putera bungu dari Martha Louis (1920-2005) asal Mississippi dan komposer Alfred Newman (1901-1970), yang memenangi enam kali penghargaanOscars untuk Best Film Score. Dia merupakan salah satu anggota dinasti komposer film di Hollywood termasuk ayahnya, dan kakak laki-lakinya, David Newman, kakak perempuannya Maria Newman, pamannya, Lionel Newman dan Emil Newman, sepupunya, Randy Newman (yang juga dikenal sebagai penulis lagu dan penyanyi), and his keponakan Joey Newman. Selama dalam pengasuhan, marta mengarahkan putra-putranya untuk belajar violin di San Fernando Valley setiap akhir pekan.[2] Newman kemudian belajar komposisi dan orkestra selama dua tahun di Universitas California Selatan,[3] sebelum melanjutkan di Universitas Yale, di mana dia meraih gelar Bachelor of Arts pada tahun 1977 dan Master of Music tahun 1978.[4] Sementara berada di Universitas Yale, he bertamu dengan komposer Stephen Sondheim, yang menjadi pembimbing awalnya.[2] Newman dan istrinya, Ann Marie, memiliki tiga anak. Mereka tinggal di Pacific Palisades, tak jauh dari Los Angeles.

Pada awalnya, Newman lebih tertarik dengan musik teater dibandingkan komposisi musik untuk film. Dia lantas bekerja di Sondheim Broadway.[5] Lionel, yang menggantikan Alfred sebagai sutradara untuk 20th Century Fox, memberikan tugas pertama pada tahun 1979 untuk serial The Paper Chase.[1] Tahun 1983, John Williams, yang merupakan sahat Alfred dan Lionel, mengundang Newman untuk mengerjakan proyek Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, memasukkan komposisi orkestra dalam dalam adegan kematian Darth Vader. Satu tahun setelahnya, dia bertemu produser asal New York producer, Scott Rudin, yang mengundangnya untuk menyusun komposisi musik untuk film Reckless (1984).[6] Tahun 1992, Newman menyusun komposisi musik untuk film karya Martin Brest berjudul Scent of a Woman. Tahun 1994, merupakan kali pertama namanya masuk nominasi dalam Academy Award untuk film garapannya, The Shawshank Redemption dan Little Women.[5] Dia juga mengerjakan untuk film The War. Tahun 1996, dia terlibat dalam proyek film karya Diane Keaton, Unstrung Heroes, yang juga masuk nominasi lagi dalam Oscar. Pada tahun 1998, film karya Robert Redford The Horse Whisperer dan Meet Joe Black pun dia kerjakan. Sedangkan tahun 1999, Newman menyusun komposisi musik untuk film Sam Mendes, American Beauty, dengan memasukkan unsur musik perkusi secara dominan. "[7] Ini merupakan kerja sama pertama dengan Mendes.
