Hilary Hahn's violin case (I believe!) tweeted that she has just recorded the soundtrack to an indie film set in Ireland. Does anyone have any idea what the film is and who the composer might be? I know she worked with James Newton Howard on The Village and that he contributed one of the 27 commissions for her recent encore project, but I guess it could be just about anybody. Consider my interest piqued.

This isn't a knock on your post, but just a FYI thing for your future reference: You can easily link directly to a specific tweet, rather than their entire stream, by clicking on the timestamp of the tweet you want (in this case, you'd click on the "22h" [at the time of this post] next to the ireland indie film tweet), and now the URL at the top of your browser is the URL to that specific tweet.

This may be of interest to Richard, Thor, and anyone else who, like me, appreciates Genesis and progressive rock enough to recognize Tony Banks.

The Wicked Lady


Tony Banks releases the music from the 1983 Michael Winner film The Wicked Lady. Originally released on vinyl but never onto CD.
Tracks 1 - 8 orchestral movements from the film played by the National Phiharmonic Orchestra conducted by Stanley Black.
Tracks 9 -16 Tony Banks plays variations on themes from The Wicked Lady
Released March 25 on the Fugitive Inc label available from the Tony Banks website
Available from Amazon April 16
[14 March 2013]

This is the first time onto CD.

Tony Banks’ music from the 1983 film of The Wicked Lady directed by Michael Winner, was composed at the same time as Tony was recording his solo album The Fugitive, the main theme was originally meant as an instrumental for the Fugitive album but was not used. Tony felt that the instrumental had a theme that would work well for the film and sent it through as a demo to Michael Winner who instantly loved it.

It needed to be orchestrated and Christopher Palmer was brought on board to assist Tony in arranging the music for an orchestra.

Michael Winner requested a lot of music for the film and as a bonus the second half of the CD has Tony playing the original demos.

It has taken several months to bring this CD to fruition and it is made all the more poignant in that Michael Winner recently died this year.

Available to buy and download from www.tonybanksmusic.com from 25th March

I just found this news on a new Howard Shore score on Doug Adams' blog:

Shore's newest, Jimmy P., is coming out on Howe Records on September 10. The score, which was recorded in New York, features the Dover Quartet as well as some interesting interplay between the quartet and a small orchestra. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon right HERE.

Here is also a direct link to Howe Records site for the soundtrack.

I think it sounds quite lovely. Vintage Shore - brooding but with a bit more air. It would be a nice appetizer before The Hobbit 2 (and probably more than that).

When did he get time to write this?

Probably in the Christmas/New Year downtime. He did Panic Room and Spider between Fellowship and Two Towers. Busy dude!

Posted

Meh. Basically an album of rock music from the sounds. This is a rare Zimmer disc that I probably won't even listen to.

Preorders are up for Frozen (Christophe Beck) and Saving Mr. Banks (Thomas Newman). Interestingly, both are 2-disc deluxe editions. Could these really be complete scores, right off the bat, from Walt Disney Records?

Not that I'm aware of.

Composer Andrew Hewitt has tweeted (twat?) that his score for The Sea (for it is that of which I spake), featuring the violin of Hilary Hahn, will be available soon:

It sounds quite melancholy from the samples on his website, but definitely worth checking out. The Hahnster is certainly not afraid to try new things, what with her recent collaborations with prepared piano meister Hauschka and her brilliant In 27 Pieces encores project.

I see.

Never mind.....

Does anybody like Tyler Bates? He has to be one of the most universally hated composers working today.

Posted

Just curious, did Tyler Bates become universally hated after the 300 fiasco, or is it just because he writes lame music?

Next year's Oscar for Best Original Score sorted then.

:lol:


Jeez, it's 87 minutes!

Any 2014 scores people can recommend? Into the Storm and Grand Piano are the only releases so far this year I've enjoyed.

If you like "quirky", then look no further than "Grand Budapest Hotel". Both "Her" and "The Double" are good (the "T.V." music is pure cheddar, but enjoyable).

Ps Pil is right: "UTS" is great.
