What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)

Thank you Herosix. I am always happy if my "novels" inspire people to delve deeper into Williams' music. :)

I'm too lazy to read them.

I just say "Good job!" to make him happy, then I get back to business as usual.

Awww that's sweet. I see you are still bitter that I didn't do a 50+ page essay on HPCoS. It is coming, one of these days BB. One of these days.

I don't give a flying fuck about your COS essay anymore! I've already read 2/3rds of it anyway when I read your Philosopher's Stone review!

Well you were the only one expressing any interest anyway. Alright to the trash can it goes!

Sorry.

Sorry.

Incrust means in English "to cover in a crust" which makes me think of pies.

I think you might be meaning "to make an interjection" or some such. :)

I dunno, I had not heard it. I'm from The Netherlands.

Or to "butt in". To remove the discussion from Incanus' world of feted Academia.

How dare you sir! I leave the brash locutions of the riff-raff to those who obviously favour them over eloquence and refined modes of expression.

But Stefan have you listened to any good tunes today?

Yes indeed !

I searched a translation for "to cover in a crust" but I wrote "to cover in a crutch" and ... I laughed.

Anyway, "to butt in" is the better way to say what I wanted to say :)

Have you ever listen all complete scores of 3 GoT seasons ?

They are just good enough to listen, but they are a little bit annoying.

Jesus of Nazareth by Maurice Jarre

I guess I had to listen to something to honour the Easter occaison. This score is absolutely divine.

John Powell - How To Train Your Dragon

Figured I should listen to this with the sequel score coming out soon. Probably only the 3rd or 4th time I listened to the album all the way through! (Well, I still skipped the songs at the end). I like the main theme and the overall tone and melodic nature of the score, but I had forgotten how prevalent the RCP drum sound is. I wonder if that will stay the same in the sequel score?

Well I finally got my copy of Young Sherlock Holmes by Bruce Broughton. Such a delight of a score. :)

Next on the playlist my other acquisitions John Corigliano's Music from the Edge (the rejected score for the Edge of Darkness) and JNHs Unbreakable.

Unbreakable by James Newton Howard: I remember not being overly impressed with the score when I saw the movie in theater but as with most of these Shyamalamadingdong collaborations the music pretty quick grew on me after a couple of listens. JNHs quietly melodic approach evokes mystery, subtle sense of awe, psychological anguish and finally noble heroism and even yearning grandeur in its notes. As with most of these collaborations JNH finds the sound and overall atmosphere that characterizes the story, very often more deftly than the director himself and makes the music indelibly a vital part of the storytelling. The score mixes with some success the classic orchestral sound with the urbane synth and percussion base to create a suitably modern musical environment for the film. The music really becomes a character of its own right and stands on its own two feet very well. The at times darkly alluring and at others gentle often lilting strains of the multiple themes portray a very different and more thoughtful superhero story and the composer charts a highly satisfying musical arc through the album, which feature a lion's share of the music from the film in a fine programme. Highly recommended.

A Sound of Thunder - Nick Glennie-Smith

Best thing about the terrible movie it's paired up with.

Is that Ben Kingsley?! :o

You're not wrong!

One of Jarre's masterpieces. Now you've done it! I'm in the mood for the tadlow "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome".

Music from the Edge by John Corigliano: Still as impressive as before but it must have been a radically different film when Corigliano scored The Edge of Darkness. As it is the rejected score makes for a fascinating and engaging listen on its own, the music still retaining a strong narrative flow and arc that is both challenging and emotional. The final Reunification piece is genuinely moving as a catharctic release from the darkness and letting it go, the music illustrating this triumphantly with the song Breathe in the Dawn, an unusual choice to end such a score but I think a masterful idea and superbly dramatic one at that.

Sigh....

A sigh of contentment.

Of resentment or disgruntlement or bafflement is more like it!

Recipe for Zimmer stew: Open a raw can of sound design. Warm it up with some synths from RCPs collection. Let it Zimmer a bit and stew in heavy bass marinade for an hour. Serve on a bed of long marinaded processed acoustic instruments and season on the spot with gimmicky guest star performers. Advised sidedish is a hacksaw so you can get through the lower string section, which is when fully cooked so thick and tender you can only go through it with the aforesaid instrument. Recommended wine for meatier version is Chateau Powell-Gregson Williams or Örvarsson of fresh vintage for fishier one. Enjoy if you can.
