[question about scores...]

Written scores thats is...

This may be something that EVERYONE but me knows but, Can anyone tell me the difference between a Full Score and a Miniature Score? I was looking to buy a copy of Carmina Burana, and there were two versions, a Full Score for $150, and a Miniature score for $35. Does miniature scores have less instrumentation? or are they just printed smaller, or...?

[BOTH Signature Ed]

I ordered my copy about 2 weeks ago, then got the message that it was still in print, so I'd get it as soon as possible. Oddly enough I saw a preview of the score (1st page) even back then, so I don't understand why it has to take so long.

[Battle of the Heroes or Chamber of Secrets?]

Wee, my vote just tipped the balance in favor of "Battle of the Heroes" - which I have grown to absolutely love, Even though I like the Harry Potter scores, I just don't get that many emotions from them - probably because I'm not much of a Potter fan, and don't think the movies are that great.

Star Wars is a different matter - every single time I hear the force theme I get goosebumps.

[The Best Zimmer Score Vs. The Worst Williams Score]

Personally I've never cared much for Zimmer - or MediaVentures generally. There are a few composers over there who does desent work though, like Harry-Gregson Williams and John Powell, I really like their scores for animated features. And also Klaus Badelt's work on "The Time Machine". I don't care much for soundtracks like "The Rock" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", they both have that widely used MV sound that makes me throw up in my mouth just a little...

Oh, so uhm - I had to say NO on the poll... Of course I haven't heard ALL of Zimmer's work... or Williams'

[Film Composers and Orchestrators]

Mark McKenzie...?

[Favorite Superhero score]

I think I'll just cast a vote for fun on Spider-Man, even though Superman is the classic and strongest of them all. However, Spider-Man has slowly grown on me so much that it has become my most listened to soundtrack at the moment.

[JP End Credits?]

I think I agree with it being the raptor theme. I can't quite remember it right now, but I guess if you take those four notes from the raptor motif and play them slowly it can kinda sound something like CE3K... yeah, sure...
