Composer Elmer Bernstein Dies

AP reports the composer behind classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird, The Magnificent Seven, and The Ten Commandments has died.

"Film music, properly done, should give the film a kind of emotional rail on which to ride," Bernstein told The Associated Press in a 2001 interview. "Without even realizing that you're listening to music that's doing something to your emotions, you will have an emotional experience."
