How Oscar-winning score of 'All Quiet on the Western Front ... (ABS-CBN News)

The anti-war drama won four Oscars, including for the haunting music composed by Volker Bertelmann, aka Hauschka.

I saw the harmonium and immediately figured that might do the trick, it has a bellows, it has air, you hear the wood when you work on it. What was most difficult was actually not to put too much pathos and too much heroism into the music. The current times, the strong script and the strong execution are also part of it. And I felt like it needed a religious theme to go with the powerful war machine sound. I also thought about the fact that these five young men who go to war lose everything they dreamed of in a relatively short period of time, everything they actually are as humans. The only way to do that was to take short, iconic elements and have them pop up again and again, like an art installation. I got a call from my hometown more than a year ago about a harmonium which belonged to my family. What is the story behind that? I sent the theme to Edward Berger — which is something you don't normally do, you don't send the first idea to the director, you collect maybe 10-15 ideas first so you're sure one of them might work. He called me the next day and was overjoyed: "Fantastic, this is awesome, we're excited, it's exactly how we want it!" The film was already finished. The film has also picked up [seven BAFTAs](https://www.dw.com/en/all-quiet-on-the-western-front-wins-7-baftas/a-64758435), including for best film.
