Holko 9,526 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Doug's Corner: Quote 4/7/20192 CD set. Greatly expanded from the version we offered back in our early years. My personal favorite score by this master. Some call it his greatest. Certainly it is his most personal and emotionally overwhelming. Great film, too! Artwork and contents will be posted tomorrow afternoon. Orders will begin shipping on Tuesday, April 9. If you know this score, you’re probably on top of its power. If you don’t know this one and want to be moved by 100 minutes of heartfelt orchestral writing, it comes highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 We know there is a Safan coming sometime this year, and Roger's recent clue says: Quote Some consider our next release this composer's magnum opus -- now featured on an expanded 2-CD from a television event from the early '90s. http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=81229#p81229 I've been calling Son of the Morning Star Safan's magnum opus for years on the boards, like here when his score to The Last Starfighter was released complete by Intrada: Quote Yavar Moradi wrote: Thanks for the behind the scenes info Doug, and thanks for this amazing expansion! I must argue about 'inarguably finest hour'. It would be no contest were it not for another Safan score -- also released by Intrada -- that isn't perhaps as fun, exciting, or nostalgic as Starfighter but is more profound, his finest hour on slightly different criteria. I am of course speaking of the gorgeous Son of the Morning Star, and I assure you I am far from alone in my appreciation! I hope Intrada is considering revisiting that one too, for all the many people who weren't lucky enough to snag a copy, or those just now discovering Safan's music. It's now very expensive on the second hand market, and many owners like myself would also re-buy for any extra music, better sound quality (not that the old one sounded anything other than wonderful, but the same was true of Starfighter and look what you e just achieved with that), or more substantial liner notes! Yavar Yeah, we're huge fans of Son Of The Morning Star. I worked really hard back then to get Republic Pictures willing to give us rights. Happily they not only did that but also turned over to us the entire recording sessions for the mini-series itself. So we've got a boatload of unreleased material we could add to our earlier album. Just keep in mind the challenges of renewing interest with the current license holder. But don't for one minute think we're not on top of it.And, yes, I agree it gives The Last Starfighter a run for the money. How could it not?? Morning Star is filled with trumpet solos!! --Doug http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6505&start=15 So I'd say this is almost certainly the next release...and if you don't know this incredibly powerful score, it's time to get acquainted!

Because the complete score as Intrada just released it is 1.68 hours... I agree it bears similarities with Horner's string writing...or rather, they both take some inspiration from Ralph Vaughan Williams (a good source of inspiration!)

Jay 37,355 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Roger has posted before that 0,1,2 is early, 4,5,6 is mid, and 7,8,9 is late. I don't remember where he slotted 3.

Jurassic Shark 12,072 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The mid category could of course be larger than the early and late categories, if you think of it as consisting of two subcategories - lower mid and upper mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, many of us were in their mid to late teens in the 90s, giving us a very subjective perspective on individual years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Quote 4/21/2019Even amidst the current sale, our new Intrada CD releases continue… albeit at a slower pace reflecting the reality of overworked licensors dividing time between swinging for the fences with mega-blockbusters, usually with heroes gifted with super powers, and signing their approvals to CDs being produced by much smaller entities such as ours. One such overworked studio - as big as you’ll find in the entertainment industry - recently signed off on our latest CD and it can be yours starting this Tuesday, April 23. Disney, one of the best things that ever happened to us, gives the ‘thumb’s up’ to this greatly expanded release from the 90’s. Symphonic music at its most robust!

You should've asked him about it in your interview Well, our conversation went for about an hour and 45 minutes as recorded -- already a very substantial interview, unusually long for a film composer interview, and I think about 45 minutes longer than David had originally planned on...though he seemed to end up enjoying himself and I'm grateful he was so generous with his time. I'd point that it's called The Goldsmith Odyssey so I prioritized a focus on his relationship to Jerry and his music, and even with that there was stuff I left uncovered such as his experience scoring faux Star Trek with Galaxy Quest, his experience scoring faux Rambo with Malone, and the two selections he newly recorded (Legend and Rambo: First Blood Part II, I think) for Varese's 1985 celebration album. If I opened it up more in depth to his own work, we could have talked for hours and hours! Maybe on a future interview, if he's ever up for another.
