My favourite! I'd also add the 2nd - 'London' symphony to the list.

Where, maybe a film score, may I have heard this before? It's like I have it in my head, but I can't spot it!
Edit:
Aaaah, nevermind, I remember it now!
Rósza's version and variation on it are amazing.

Poledouris also used Cantigas de Santa Maria in Conan the Barbarian (to great effect, I might add), so in addition to El Cid, maybe you also made some subconscious connection to Conan.

True, I read that. Do you know where he uses them in that score?

No. "Dex's Diner" (such that rhymes with Vexes Finer instead of Hex Minor) is grammatically correct. In English, apostrophe S is used to show possession when the possessing item does not end in S. George's car. Jim's book. Fido's bone.
When the possessor does end in S, only the apostrophe will suffice. Claudius' horse. Sixteen peoples' territory. Using apostrophe S would be cumbersome. Santos's apple. Sometimes, though, you will hear the apostrophe S used anyways in conversation to emphasize possession, since you can't "hear" the apostrophe in speech, but in writing, it's unnecessary.
While Dex does end in an S sound created by the letter X, it is not an S, so it would use the apostrophe S.
A simple web search found this at Wookieepedia.: Dex's Diner
I suggest a full frontal assault with automated laser monkeys, scalpel mines, and acid.

Yet your name is ComposerEthanCan you post examples and time stamps to compare? Sorry, I'm like the least educated person in music on this board.
Get a job at the theater the premiere will be at. Bing, bang, boom.
So you are seriously trying to get tickets to the premiere of the Hobbit? Lycka till, bonne chance, good luck!
hehe don't you think I know it's nearly impossible? it's just that there's a big chance I'll be in NZ during the premiere so...

So that's life according to Koray? "Bing, bang, boom"? If everything was as simple as "Bing, bang, boom", Koray, I'd be the one making The Hobbit, and there wouldn't be starfish hairdos, pigeons shitting on Radagast, or rabbits pulling fucking sled. But as it is, I have a shitty job, I hate my life, and I wanna kill myself. So, keep your "Bing, bang, boom" to yourself, please, Ko-Ray.
P.S.: Life According To Koray would be a great name for a TV show. Don't know if it would be a great show, but the title would be kick-ass nonetheless...
Oh, no, wait, better: The Legend Of Korray!

This has probably been discussed, but being at work, I don't have the time to go through the 32 pg of Indiana Jones Unreleased Music Resource.
I'm confused about the Temple of Doom End Credits. I know the film version has a different beginning than the album. But any and all cue lists I look at don't show two different End Credits. Is that a film version INSERT that isn't mentioned on cue lists? Was there two different End Credits written and recorded? I can't find any documentation on it.
And of course, sorry if this is super obvious and I'm being a doofus lol.

My brother did it that way. He used to work at a theater in the area and then got a hook-up from the company to work the night of the premiere at the AMC Uptown in DC. The Great Raid and The Guardian had their premieres there.

The Morgan Stromberg is the most complete re-recorded score, the Gerhardt is said to be the best recording though.
Among all the things I have done in my short and pitiful life, becoming an inside joke on JWFAN is the one I'm the least proud of.

The Morgan/Stormberg/Naxos is the most complete and very good, with a somewhat too Russian chorus and a very much too Russian soloist. The Gamba/Chandos is great, a bit more lively than the Naxos, and with proper pronounciations, but not as complete. The Kojian/Varese is similar, very energetic and "Golden Age" sounding, but limited to about 40 minutes (LP length). The Tsunami album is Korngold's OST. Curiously, I find his own tempos on this score a little slower than you'd expect; I prefer the re-recordings.
The best stuff is the bits and pieces recorded by Charles Gerhardt on his "Classic Film Scores" series (not listed at your link). They're only suites from some parts of the score though - but they do include the best Strike for the Shores of Dover.

Karol
From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.
