Jay 37,346 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 INTRADA Announces: EDWARD SCISSORHANDSComposed and Conducted by DANNY ELFMANINTRADA INT 7146 In Celebration of the 25th anniversary of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, Intrada presents an expanded edition of Danny Elfman's mesmerizing, fairy-tale score. Keying off the film’s opening with the 20th Century Fox logo adorned in falling snow and echoing the effect of snowflakes, the score starts with celesta notes and a soulful boys and women’s choir—Elfman’s own “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” The composer’s opening showcases two melodies: one accentuating the fairy-tale aspect of the story, while a beautifully resolving melody underscores the emotional core of the tale. Edward Scissorhands, in fact, allowed Elfman to explore a wide range of expression, from the opening fairytale vibe to the creepy, semi-suspenseful atmosphere of Eward's castle, and the cheerful, innocent pizzicato of the world outside that Edward discovers. Presented in cooperation with 20th Century Fox and Universal Music Group, this expanded edition is in near chronological sequence (some short cues were repositioned for musical purposes) and includes a suite of extras featuring the trailer, alternates, Tom Jones’ “With These Hands” and Christmas carols. The film depicts a shy housewife and Avon lady, Peg (Dianne Wiest), discovering a strange young man with scissors for hands. Named Edward, he lives alone in a foreboding hilltop castle. Flashbacks show Edward as a robot boy constructed by a kindly mad scientist (Vincent Price), who dies before he can provide Edward with human hands. Peg’s daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder) and the strange young man soon begin experiencing the beginnings of a doomed, inexpressible love for one another. After demonstrating his artistic skills on the local shrubbery and his neighbors’ hair, Edward is accepted by Peg’s fellow suburbanites, but eventually their own provincial prejudices cause them to turn on the misfit and drive him back to his home. INTRADA INT 7146Retail Price: $19.99SHIPPING NOWFor track listing and sound samples, please visit:http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.9655/.f Emotionally rich, grand Danny Elfman soundtrack for famed 1990 Tim Burton fantasy romance with dark overtones finally gets expanded treatment! Johnny Depp plays Edward in nervous, moving fashion, Vincent Price wraps his own legendary career as The Inventor, Winona Ryder plays beautiful romantic lead Kim Boggs, Kathy Baker enacts comic neighbor Joyce. Tale is by turns spellbinding and eccentric, haunting and romantic. Danny Elfman tackles multiple musical challenges by covering every base: ideas are tuneful, melodic, quirky, exciting, inventive, powerful, grand, intimate - and ultimately haunting. Main theme alternates between major harmonies, minor ones as upwards-leaning melody unfolds in gently yearning fashion. With gentle arpeggio figures, transparent orchestrations, boys choir in the mix, this theme remains one of Elfman's most heartfelt and endearing. Even in its most passioned, sweeping orchestral/choral perorations, this theme remains tender and romantic, colored with a tinge of tragedy. Beautiful writing! Numerous thematic ideas cover all those other bases, from comic hair-cut scenes to dramatic chase scenes, from wistful nostalgic overtones to crescendoing scares. Yet no matter how far out Burton and Elfman take things, incredibly haunting love story kindles all other elements throughout. Expanded edition available courtesy UMG & 20th Century Fox. Production by Nick Redman, audio restoration, assembly by Mike Matessino & Neil Bulk, detailed notes by Jeff Bond, package design by Joe Sikoryak. Absolutely winning score! Danny Elfman composes, Shirley Walker conducts orchestra, adult choir, Paulist Choristers Of California. CD available as part of Intrada INT series! 01. Introduction (Titles) (2:53)02.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Technically, no. It's an INT release, which replaced their MAF line. As far as I understand, the labels can no longer print more than 5,000 copies of any given release without resorting to more out of pocket expenses.

Jay 37,346 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Quote Anybody shed some light on how this release came about and why all the new music? Better elements found vs the Elfman Burton box? Quote We used the 3-track mixes on Fox's original first generation digital element for this and every cue we had is on the assembly. As far as I know the additional tracks on the box set came from DAT.

rough cut 1,714 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 A wonderful score! I would really like to get this, but I've spent so much money already on the John Williams expansions. It will have to wait until spring... Shame, cause it has that faitytale-charisma that would play well now in christmas time. I'll have to give the OST a spin or two until then!

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'll be picking this up in the new year - or getting it from family for Christmas. I've spent too much $$$ on expansions in the past few months (Elm St, BTTF2/3, Jaws 1/2, Home Alone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
