Thomas Morse

Thomas Morse (born June 30, 1968) is a composer of film and concert music.

Life and composing career

He began his musical career while in high school, writing his first orchestral work. After receiving a bachelor's degree in composition from the University of North Texas, Morse began a composition master's degree at USC in Los Angeles, changing over to the film scoring program in the second year.[1]

In the years that followed, Morse composed orchestral scores for more than a dozen feature films including The Big Brass Ring (based on an Orson Welles script, with William Hurt & Miranda Richardson who received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance), The Sisters (Maria Bello & Elizabeth Banks), and The Apostate (with Dennis Hopper), as well as the noted orchestral score for Jerry Bruckheimer’s CBS series The Amazing Race.[2]

Working parallel in the field of popular music, he created string arrangements on songs for numerous artists including a posthumous Michael Hutchence release entitled Possibilities.[3]

In 2013 he signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Music Sales Group in New York, parent company of G. Schirmer.[4][5]
