The Film Score Thread

Intrada releases The Hunt for Red October in full glory.
Something like 60min instead of the previously available 30min, or so I read.
Limited quantity, so anyone interested should order it now.

I didn't learn till recently that one of my favourite cues in the score is actually temp music. Search for 'Payoff' from Poledouris's score for NO MAN'S LAND, and you'll know exactly what scene I'm talking about.

Man oh man I've been after a fully OST for ages.

I love the No Man´s Land score. I have the Cherry2000/No Man´s Land CD. Such a great listen, and it even goes well to listen to both scores as they are on CD, as if No Man´s Land, even though stylistically somewhat different, were the third act of the whole package.

Morricone's LOLITA is getting an expanded release.

John Barry's score for MISTER MOSES gets a release tomorrow, according to Film Score Monthly.

Expect a complete re-recording of Bernard Herrmann's OBSESSION in the near future, along with a re-release of the original soundtrack.

Perhaps this tells us that the original, complete recordings have been lost or not taken care of.

Great that Tadlow/Prometheus are thinking of picking it up, but I don't like James Fitzpatrick's idea of expanding the orchestra size.

Quote :

Hopefully people will like the new recording as I will be using slightly larger forces than Herrmann used...rather than 4 hours...which Herrmann was not too happy with, apparently .. I will be using 8 horns stereo split 4 and 4 as well as stereo violins, stereo harps etc...

As I said in my reply, you risk turning a waltercolour into an oil painting.

And will it be performed in a church? Hope so.

Music Box Records will be releasing OBSESSION, as well. They're calling it a "special archival edition", but most people over at Film Score Monthly seem to think it'll be an official release of the mono tracks used for the laserdisc.

Hope it's the full thing.

If it's the OST then I'm in. Hate re-recordings. The notes are never quite where you remember.

I've always wanted that cue for when Lithgow gloats at Bujold through the airport glass. Inexplicably it's neither on the bootleg or my copy of the handwritten score.

Someone over at Film Score Monthly claimed that he produced the laserdisc and that Sony has all of the music tracks in stereo.

Good news. Hopefully that's what Music Box is releasing.

Kritzerland's released Herrmann's THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. It'll probably be sold out by the end of this weekend.

I think Tadlow's re-recording will be worth listening to. Nic Raine and The City of Prague Philharmonic have done a nice job re-recording music from OBSESSION in the past, like this track:


The album's producer also confirmed on Film Score Monthly that it'll be available as a Blu-Ray audio CD, aimed at audiophiles.

Just heard this for the first time and it blew me away. John Barry's "You Came from the Sea"

Some more Barry:

First discovered the score on that week after John Barry's death. Somehow stayed with me ever since - especially 1:00-2:30.

It is particularly affecting. I gave Moviola a re-listen and it's the same. Of all the composers, it's his work that when I first listen or re-listen that I get the hairs stand up. Out of Africa (I Had a Farm in Africa) is the best example. Williams and Goldsmith, certain tracks do that on a re-listen but not as much as Barry.

And Nocturnal New York is, like Beyondness of Things in general, is brilliant.

Barry was great with music for suspense and passion. He also did well with creating music that corresponded to various locations in films. One example of that would be from YOLT, with Barry's lush music for Bond's arrival in Japan.

Here's a City of Prague Philharmonic/Nic Raine re-recording of the love theme from THE BETSY--a Barry score I that I really hadn't known of until the end of last year.

Good ol' Nic Raine. Though it got me thinking for a proper release of Raise the Titanic, don't know what I'm looking for exactly.

And random thought I had the other week about if only to see an orchestra or someone either do Horner's Star Trek stuff (mostly III) or some interpretation like a thousand videos seem to do of Zimmer's stuff.

Or, even, challenging Horner to what he might've done if he had scored Star Trek IV.

It's been a stupid day. I'm not even drunk.

Quote :

‘Solo’ will stay in the ‘Star Wars’ family with veteran franchise composer John Williams set to write the theme for the standalone film about Han Solo, slated for release on May 25. It will be Williams’ ninth assignment.

http://variety.com/2017/film/news/john-williams-star-wars-composer-han-solo-movie-theme-1202650282/

John Williams has been brought on board Ron Howard's SOLO to write the main theme. John Powell will write the rest of the score.

I always welcome more Williams music, but imagine how that must feel for Powell?

I'm guessing the film is such a pile of shit (with reshoots, change of directors, problems with the actors, etc.) that this is one of a few last-ditch attempts to try to make it more charming or appealing to STAR WARS fans, or even people who don't follow the franchise.

I have an image, not that he's remotely near that kind of guy, Williams breezing past Powell on a stage and saying: "This is my shit now."

Though it vaguely reminds me of Shadows of the Empire. How you'd have Joel McNeely do the 'score' with some Williams' insight or at least his themes (the use of the Imperial theme in Destruction of Xizor's Palace is one of my favourite uses of it).

Nice vocal version of a timeless classic.


Another classic that I remember was very popular at the time.

This may have been posted before, but this is a Very Large thread to go through.

Another iconic piece.
