Hello.
I was wondering if anyone knows good musicological books which describe the style of composing of each composer. e.g. different chapters on harmony, melody, orchestration etc, which sum up the basic techniques of the composer (mostly 20th century composers such as Copland, Bartok, stravinsky etc.)
The books i find usually have many biographical-historical facts, and they may analyse some individual works and not sum-up the composers' composing style
If it's film composers that you want, a nice set of books was published a few years ago, which covered many aspects of film-making (production design, directing, editing, etc.) which included composing, and featured interviews with the likes of Gabriel Yared, and Riuichi Sakamoto. It came with a (frankly naff) c.d., but it was worth reading. Hope this helps?
hmm. i'm not sure about which books you say (maybe Film score Guide Series from Scarecorw press? although they didn't have a cd).
But I was talking about classical composers..

Well, i'm not sure a composer could be considered as an enterntainer. Or i don't know English well?
Does anyone know of a composer who is considered an "entertainer"?

I think the bootleg has one track missing (the synth one), and adds the Kunzel rerecording, if I'm not mistaken. I don't have it though. But do a search, the info's somewhere on the MB, and it can't be hard to track down.
Yes, that's correct, but since the bootleg omits a track and adds another in its place, it still should have 14 tracks and not 15.
the reason for this is that the track 7 from the Japanese release (or track 7 from Intrada) is split into 2 tracks in the bootleg version (7 + 12).
and another difference is that I think the tracks are in the right order in the bootleg version/

ordered!
For anyone that hasn't seen Spacecamp I suggest that you do. this was one of my favourite films in my childhood, and it still has the same effect until today that I'm watching it..
I always wondered why many people say it's a lousy movie..
what is lousy? the effects? the acting? the script?
Well, i don't think it pretended to be something else than it is..

Oh, great!!
let's hope for Hook!!

Great!!!
oh, if it was only Batman Returns!!!

Just listened to "Time" from the Inception OST.
Reminded me a lot of "Journey to the line" from Thin Red Line ost.

it's one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood that John Williams is a raving sex addict.
Really or you're making a joke?
i always was wondering if any film composer had some kind of problem like most celebrities and great artists have (Judith Graland, Edith Piaf, beethoven etc..), but they all seemed to me normal.

One of my favourites is Alien 3 (mostly of Goldenthal's music in the end scene which gives me goosebumps and Fincher's directing)
-
Maybe "Barry's Kidnapping" from Close Encounters..
-
I would definitely suggest Goldsmith's Legend too! I consider it to be his best, and has a Daphnes and Chloe quality!
-
Great work! Well done!!

So I guess nobody has this book then eh?
I've got the book. i consider it (as many) to be the "bible" for film music composers.
Do you have the version with all the HPCOS info in it? Anything else good in there?
yes, it's this version. well, it just has the complete cue list, and a description with timing notes of cue 2m11A "Cornish Pixies". that's all..

Don't you get dizzy, or feeling strange in your eyes when you're studying a score on a screen?
well, i do...

I've bought it and waiting for it in the following week. I'll tell you what it looks like (if it has written examples, academic music analysis etc.) when i see it..
You speak german?
Haha. no.. but since I'm doing my Ph.D on Williams i thought i should have this, and see if it has any music examples along with analyses.
plus, i will be able to translate the parts i think are most important by online translators.

Can someone help me out?
I have a 9/8 piece. I tried to put it into sibelius/finale, but the eighteens are not correctly divided. How I do that?
Here's an example of what I mean:
Well, i don't know which version of Sibelius you use, but in the Time Signature box it should have a "beam and rest groups" option.
You should put "2,2,3,2" and so the notes would be grouped as in your example..

Why does it say "Williams created the musical score for the film"?
he didn't write anything. Or did he?

Just found it online in FSM site (Thank God I hadn't ordered it, because it was sooooo expensive!)
