gkgyver 1,645 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 People don't give enough credit to Shore for writing a score where almost all major themes were already known, new ones not quite ready yet to be played big, and still make it fresh.

LOTRHobbitFan 20 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Just had my first listen to Howard Shore's new score for Denial which has appeared on Spotify today in Australia. After two complete listens I have come to the conclusion that Shore still has plenty on offer as his writing skills have not diminished. This score has hints of fantasy, Twilight-style darkness in places, and a particular dark, brooding theme features throughout the score which may symbolise the Professor denying the Holocaust. I am relieved that Shore chose to utilise a full orchestra because, although Spotlight is enjoyable in its own way, the use of woodwind, strings, brass, and piano leave a far greater impact on the mind than a small chamber group which he used for Spotlight. Denial even features boy soprano on the standout track, "Steps", and "A Prayer". Another track, "Professor Van Pelt" features amazing Shore music which only he could write with its brooding, suspenseful tension. Some sections of the score do feel a bit like Thomas Newman or James Newton Howard which is not a bad thing because, as I said before, a few tracks like "Atlanta 1994" have a feel of fantasy about them. It is refreshing to have a score like this in 2016 and I hope the Academy acknowledges Shore's brilliance to write music which corresponds to a scene without overdoing it. Denial is an example of Shore's ability to create impressive music if given more freedom to be creative unlike Disney's failure to utilise his skills for Pete's Dragon. What a missed opportunity. I was one of, probably a few, who cried when Doug Adams sent me a tweet telling me that Shore was no longer attached to the project. I hope Shore continues to find the drive to write scores because many film companies are rejecting older composers and looking to amateurs for a "modernised, cheap" sound. I strongly recommend Denial as essential for any Howard Shore fan as well as those who want an exceptionally written, subdued, and suspenseful score with emotion felt throughout.

Alex Shore 83 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Such a brilliant score is "Denial". The wet sound, the bassoon + cello combination, the syncopated themes, the Shore's descendant scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 A lovely score - it seems like the sort of subject matter that he is ideally suited to, and it was nice to hear a more substantial orchestration in this one than Doubt, Spotlight, and others. Certain textures and atmospheres seemed to me somewhat reminiscent of Battle of the Five Armies. SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yes, it's unacceptable, I think. The music was conceived spatially, and certainly at times was written with those spatial considerations in mind. The spread of the high strings, the more direct sound of the inner strings, and the greater bass balance of having the low strings not huddled together on the same side as the low brass and bassoons all make quite a bit of difference, so it's as natural to respect that as it is with Mahler or Gabrieli or Corigliano or Boulez or whoever makes a point of thinking about the actual placement of the players.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It seems highly unlikely less than 2 months out from release when there is still no composer officially announced. It's most likely that either there is no music, or Scorsese licensed classical music recordings. But I hope I'm wrong, and yeah I do see that at one point Shore confirmed he was doing it. But that was 2014 and we thought he was doing Pete's Dragon up until like 3 months before it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It wouldn't be the first time that a composer has been announced at short notice (think Williams with Book Thief).

tannhauser 101 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but the thought of Shore doing a period piece with Scorsese set in 17th century Japan is tremendously exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
