MSM 126 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If you should name some orchestral pieces either from classical music or film music that you associate with snow and a 'Christmassy' sound, what tracks would you recommend? So it doesn't matter if the respective movie doesn;t have anything to do with snow, as long as the orchestration does remind of it I thought of the ones below. Please add some more non-JW and more classical.1) John Williams - Call of the Champions2) John Williams - Home Alone - Main Title3) John Williams - Home Alone - Duncan's Toystore4) John Williams - Home Alone - Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas (orchestral version)5) John Williams - Home Alone - Turtle Doves'6) John Williams - Harry Potter - Harry's Wondrous World7) John Williams - Harry Potter - Christmas at Hogwarts8) John Williams - Harry Potter - Entry Into the Great Hall9) John Williams - Harry Potter - A Change of Season10) John Williams - Jurassic Park - A Tree For My Bed11) Tschaikovsky - Suger Plum Fee12) Michael Convertino - The Santa Claus - Fligh't13) Michael Convertino - The Santa Claus - Not Over Any Oceans14) Maybe some Gershwin Ouverture?

Maglorfin 196 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 - Ralph Vaughan Williams - Symphony No. 7 'Sinfonia Antartica' (especially the first and third movements)- Ennio Morricone - The Thing (almost all cues)- some compositions (film and non-film - classical music) that perfectly evoke the cold, lonely emptiness of space (e. g.
