Alex North was an American composer who wrote the first jazz-based film score and one of the first modernist scores written in Hollywood,. Born Isadore Soifer in Chester, Pennsylvania, North was an original composer probably even by the classical music standards of the day. However, he managed to integrate his modernism into typical film music leitmotif structure, rich with themes. One of these became the famous song, "Unchained Melody".

- Alex North was an American composer who wrote the first jazz-based film score and one of the first modernist scores written in Hollywood,. Born Isadore Soifer in Chester, Pennsylvania, North was an original composer probably even by the classical music standards of the day. However, he managed to integrate his modernism into typical film music leitmotif structure, rich with themes. One of these became the famous song, "Unchained Melody". Nominated for 14 Oscars but unsuccessful each time, North and Ennio Morricone are the only film composers to receive the Lifetime Achievement Academy Award. North's frequent collaborator as orchestrator was the avant-garde composer Henry Brant. He won the 1968 Golden Globe award for his music to The Shoes of the Fisherman. Some of his best-known film scores include The Rainmaker, Spartacus, The Misfits, Cleopatra, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and The Devil's Brigade. His for Stanley Kubrick's ' was discarded by the director, but has since been released on CD. Though North is best known for his work in Hollywood, he spent years in New York writing music for the stage. It was in New York that he met director Elia Kazan, who brought him to Hollywood in the '50s. North was one of several composers who brought the influence of contemporary concert music into film, in part marked by an increased use of dissonance and complex rhythms. But there is also a lyrical quality to much of his work which may be connected to the influence of Aaron Copland, with whom he studied. His classical works include a Rhapsody for Piano, Trumpet obbligato and Orchestra. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for his score for the 1976 television miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man. North is also known for his opening to the CBS television anthology series Playhouse 90.
- Alex North eigentlich Isadore Soifer war ein US-amerikanischer Komponist von Filmmusik, Bühnenmusik und konzertanten Werken. North nahm am Curtis Institute Of Music in Philadelphia Klavierunterricht bei George Boyle. Mit 20 Jahren trat er in die Juilliard School über. Von 1933 bis 1934 studierte er in Moskau am Konservatorium. Nach seiner Rückkehr in die USA studierte er bei Ernst Toch und Aaron Copland. 1939 tourte er mit Anna Sololows Tanztruppe durch Mexiko, wo er auch die lokale Musik absorbierte. In den Dreißiger und Vierziger Jahren schrieb North Musik für Dokumentarfilme. Benny Goodman gab ihm den Kompositionsauftrag für Revue For Clarinet And Orchestra (1946). 1949 komponierte er die Bühnenmusik zu Tod eines Handlungsreisenden von Arthur Miller in einer Inszenierung von Elia Kazan (für die gleichnamige Verfilmung von 1951 adaptierte North seine Partitur). Die Freundschaft mit Kazan brachte North nach Hollywood, wo er die Filmmusik zu dessen Verfilmung von Endstation Sehnsucht schrieb. Die mit Jazz-Elementen durchsetzte Komposition gilt als wegweisend. North schuf in den folgenden Jahrzehnten viele weitere, stilistisch oft - gemessen an den Konventionen und romantischen Traditionen Hollywoods - moderne, an amerikanischer Konzertmusik geschulte Filmpartituren. Er war in vielen Genres zu Hause. Zu seinen bekannten Filmmusiken zählen Spartacus (1960), Nicht gesellschaftsfähig (1961), Cleopatra (1963), Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf? (1966), Die Ehre der Prizzis (1985), oder Good Morning, Vietnam (1987). North schrieb zudem die Musik für viele Songs, von denen der Evergreen Unchained Melody unbestreitbar der bekannteste ist. Trotz fünfzehn Oscar-Nominierungen gewann North die goldene Statue nie. 1986 erhielt er für sein Lebenswerk den Lifetime Achievement Award, als erster Filmkomponist überhaupt. North war zweimal verheiratet und hatte drei Kinder.

- アレックス・ノース（Alex North、1910年12月4日 - 1991年9月8日）は、アメリカ合衆国の作曲家。 本名イサドア・ソイファー（Isadore Soifer）。ペンシルベニア州チェスター出身。フィラデルフィアのカーティス音楽学校でピアノをジョージ・ボイルに学び、20歳の時にジュリアード音楽院に移った。1933年から1934年までモスクワ音楽院に留学。帰国後はエルンスト・トッホとアーロン・コープランドに師事。 1930年代から1940年代にかけてドキュメンタリー映画の音楽を手がけた。1946年にはベニー・グッドマンのために『クラリネットとオーケストラのためのレビュー』を作曲した。1949年、アーサー・ミラー脚本・エリア・カザン演出の『セールスマンの死』の舞台音楽を手がけ、1951年に映画化された時にもノースのスコアが使われた。カザンとの友情は彼をハリウッドへと導き、『欲望という名の電車』の音楽を作曲した。他の作品として『スパルタカス』（1960年）、『荒馬と女』（1961年）、『クレオパトラ』（1963年）、『ヴァージニア・ウルフなんかこわくない？』（1966年）、『女と男の名誉』（1985年）などがある。作風はジャズの要素や現代音楽の要素を取り入れたものとなっている。アカデミー作曲賞には15回ノミネートされたが、結局受賞はできなかった。 『2001年宇宙の旅』（1968年）には当初アレックス・ノースの作曲した音楽が用いられる予定で、録音も進んでいたが、監督スタンリー・キューブリックによって全て没にされ、結局クラシック音楽の既成曲が用いられた。なお彼が「2001年～」用に作曲した音楽はジェリー・ゴールドスミスによって録音され、「2001年宇宙の旅 デストロイド・バージョン」というCDで聞くことができる。
