    The US Marine Band commented on this YouTube Video with “The U.S. Marine Band recorded the concert and will be releasing official recordings.”

    I've had that release for a few years now thanks to endless kindness of @thx99 and strongly recommend everyone to get the Naxos reissue.
    Actually I have wondered if this would eventually get released on the Altissimo label, specialized in reissuing many of these military bands promos. But since they now operate under Naxos, I can see how this one ended up released on the main label.
     
    And by the way, I was the one who added it to the Discogs database, linked earlier on the thread.

    Wish they’d have updated this to include the 2023 concert! Would love a release of that.

    I had the considerable pleasure of attending Tim Greiving’s lecture this evening titled “John Williams: The Agony of 1974 and the Ecstasy of 1975”, given at the University of Mary Washington in my fair town of Fredericksburg, VA. Many great insights into what led to those pivotal years in Williams’ life, delivered in a very entertaining way to a nearly packed house. I overheard several attendees commenting on how much they enjoyed the lecture and were happy to see this season’s series of “Great Lives” lectures end on such a high note.

    I don't believe you didn't know, lol.
     
    These are the ones that I have in my bookmarks (with espn, freeform and natgeo being the most recent for me, I think):
    abc
    dbt (before the most recent purge it had mostly disneyplus stuff plus some more stuff for juniors; never noticed any music)
    disneyplus
    dts
    espn
    freeform
    fx
    hulu
    natgeo
    searchlight
    twds
     
    Other than Dying for S*x on fx (hirez version of OST), I never noticed anything on the other pages that wasn't already mentioned.
     
    Anyhow, amzn added: 
    Bait (while incomplete it seems like it's going to be different than OST)
    young sherlock (seems the same as OST)

    thx99 reacted to Dr. Know in Christopher Gunning YORKSHIRE GLORY: A SYMPHONIC PORTRAIT (1991)   
    This is a wonderful television score composed by Christopher Gunning and conducted by Vernon Handley leading the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.  The program aired in 1991 and the score was released on cd at that time.  Even though the subject matter is quintessentially British, the score is heavily influenced by Aaron Copland.  It is divided into 6 movements: First Light (full orchestra), Spring Morning (scherzo for string orchestra), Summer Afternoon (solo cornet and strings), Autumn Festival (full orchestra), Winter Storm (full orchestra), Epilogue (full orchestra).
     
    I have included a link to a low-resolution copy of the full television show, and have set it to play in the "Autumn Festival" section to give you a taste.
     
     
    Here is the composer's note from the cd insert:
     
    Although I am not a Yorkshireman, YORKSHIRE GLORY is the result of a love affair with the place and its people. It is easy to fall in love with Yorkshire -- it seems to have everything: primeval limestone scenery, dotty villages, caves, mines, steel mills, chemical plants, stately homes, magnificent cathedrals and ruins, castles, seaports, railways, posh suburbs and black terraces. There are hi-tech industries only a few miles from areas where sheep farming carries on much as it did hundreds of years ago. It's a county of contrasts.
     
    But if one quality impresses more than any other, it is the sheer optimism of the people. There is little to match the Yorkshire spirit. You feel it down the mines, on the farms, in the pubs, on the fishing boats, or just going to the shops. It is apparent in the confidence of the buildings of the great Victorian cities -- Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Halifax, Harrogate. It is apparent in the humour too -- the Yorkshire wit is certainly unique.
     
    There are some of the things I have attempted to express musically, and I have tried to be as direct about it as I can -- hopefully true to the Yorkshire way!
     
    I have used elements of folk material here and there, when aiming at a feeling of tradition; but essentially all the material flows from the very first few bars of simple broken chords in parallel fifths.

    We're a month out from THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE soundtrack dropping:
     
    https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-testament-of-ann-lee-original-motion/1860368345
     
    I'm not sure if it's confirmed that the score itself (separate from the songs) references the preexisting Shaker hymns. But measuring this tracklist (19 score tracks) against the FYC score (14 tracks, a lot of track-title bleedover) makes me think that Searchlight is doing with ANN LEE what Disney did with MARY POPPINS RETURNS 7 years ago: simply taking out the tracks that reference preexisting material to pass it off as a primarily original score for awards contention (which it *technically* might be if we're going by whatever percentage of preexisting material the Academy permits).
     
    As of today it's a moot point anyway, since ANN LEE's score didn't make the Oscar score shortlist (which is a shame, cause it sounds cool!)
