For a new streaming service, Apple TV Plus made some pretty sharp music choices from the start, tapping Carter Burwell to score “The Morning Show,” Atli Örvarsson for “Defending Jacob,” Michael Brook for “Little America” and Drum & Lace and Ian Hultquist for “Dickinson.”
Two-time Oscar nominee Burwell had not previously done episodic TV, but was intrigued by the Jennifer Aniston-Reese Witherspoon a.m.-news-show sendup. Explains the veteran of 18 Coen Brothers films: “They wanted someone who could take openly tragic situations and put an ironic tinge on them.”
Piano, string bass and percussion were the main instruments: “Upright bass worked very well. It had an urban feeling to it, a version of hipness that seemed to fit these characters. We wanted to play the way they thought of themselves, in New York City on top of their game. It’s a bit jaunty, which helps with how awkward,...
