Why is it that nowadays everyone related to a movie production gets listed in
the credits, including caterers (they are the ones that provide the beer and
food during breaks), hair dressers, etc.but, the 2nd or at least 3rd most
important thing in a film is the music. The musicians that created the music
that gives a great big shot of adrenaline to the 'emotion of the moment'
never get listed. Surely the composer gets credit, maybe the orchestrator or
soloist, I have even seen a credit for a copyist, but never for the
musicians in the studio. You would think they would pressure the union (if
you still have one that functions rather than just collect your work dues) to
include this in contracts as this kind of recognition and exposure might help
with 'employability'.
