THOUGHTS ON COMPOSER CHALLENGE NUMBER #4: JUNO

This one was the trickiest so far. Kudos to those who tried.

Finding the right tone of a scene with stylized dialogue, two strong performances and a mixture of comedy and drama is no small order. Plus the music needs to sit well with the age of the characters.

The best approaches tended to go in a Jon Brion, quirky direction. The weakest were those that were almost apologetic in their existence. A few brave souls tried very unconventional approaches, but none of them really landed for me.
