Bear McCreary

'Bear McCreary' (qv) is a degreed graduate of the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music (in 'Composition and Recording Arts'). 'Bear McCreary' (qv) was one of a small and select group of proteges of the late, many-honored film composer 'Elmer Bernstein' (qv). Although he is now firmly in the mainstream of film composition, many of McCreary's earliest soundtrack-music compositions were for independent motion picture productions.::Louis Rugani
