Clifford Glen Eidelman (born December 5, 1964) is an American composer and conductor who has scored films including Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Free Willy 3: The Rescue, and Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.

Career

[edit]

Eidelman began his formal training in violin at the age of eight and continued with multi-instrument training ranging from piano and guitar in genres such as jazz to classic music in his youth.[1] After studying music at Santa Monica College and the University of Southern California, he scored his first feature film Magdalene in 1989.

His breakthrough composition was the 1991 score to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.[2]

In the years after, Eidelman continued to compose dramatic and epic scores such as Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.[3] As Eidelman's style of composing changed towards more sentimental and minimalistic scores, so did the films for which he scored.

Eidelman currently resides in Santa Monica, California and continues to score movies.
