Jerry Goldsmith's MATINEE (1993) - NEW! 2022 Intrada
Amer replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
MATINEE Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH INTRADA ISC 479 Intrada Special Collection Volume ISC 479 Film Date: 1993 Album Date: 2022 Time: 65:59 Tracks: 30 Expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack for flavorful Joe Dante movie! Expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack for flavorful Joe Dante movie! Set during the tense 1962 Cuban missile crisis when the United States and the Soviet Union became poised for nuclear war, the Universal Picture put young stars Simon Fenton, Omri Katz, Lisa Jakub alongside grownups John Goodman, Cathy Moriarty and the premiere of new horror movie from sensational producer Laurence Woolsey (Goodman). Key West, Florida is setting for combination comedy, schlock horror... and frighteningly real period picture unfolding during crucial turning point in sixties Cold War history. Director Dante melds terrific brew of entertainment both fun and serious, with Woolsey movie-within-a-movie premiere sharing time with gentle youth love story. Both play out while world - especially those inhabitants of Key West - cope with possible annilhilation and nuclear fallout. Dante turns to his favorite composer, Jerry Goldsmith, to find delicate balance between comic producer and his premiere, tender moments of young teens discovering love and WWIII. Not a simple feat but Goldsmith delivers with perfection. Album of highlights originally saw release in 1993. Intrada CD now features entire Goldsmith score from pristine stereo mixes made by veteran engineer Bruce Botnick, vaulted at Universal. Several previously unreleased cues now appear but spotlight goes to "Mobilization". Here, composer takes a moment for his signature musical military muscle, with crisp trombone fanfare-figures answered by equally crisp French horn, trumpet responses, steady percussion underneath. Also included are handful of alternate cues. Film itself places unrelated song between last score cue ("Previews") and End Credits, composed as two separate pieces. Original album beautifully joins both cues into one 8-minute suite. Intrada release features both separate and combined presentations. Colorful package design by Kay Marshall, informative notes by John Takis complete nice presentation. Alexander Courage orchestrates, Jerry Goldsmith composes, conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain! **** Roger Feigelson post: Intrada announces an expanded edition of Jerry Goldsmith's score to the 1993 Universal film Matinee. The film is part of the lengthy collaboration between Goldsmith and director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Explorers, InnerSpace) and is the final soundtrack in that relationship in need of an expansion. The score is centered around two themes, a whimsical one for the filmmaker/showman Lawrence Woolsey and a charming, busy theme with a tinge of nostalgia for the character of Gene. But there's more in this theme-rich score, with a love theme infused with period flavor and based on Max Steiner's A Summer Place. Combined with action and suspense, Matinee provided Goldsmith with a wealthy opportunity to create a variety of colorful ideas. This expanded edition increases the runtime of the score proper to 51 minutes, including the long sought-after cue "Mobilization," representing the sparse appearance of Goldsmith's military presence in the score as the onscreen Cuban missile crisis heats up. To produce this release, Intrada had access to the 48-track scoring sessions that contained the three-channel digital stereo mixes made for the film by Bruce Botnik – all in pristine, crisp and detailed sound. In the film, filmmaker Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman) barrels into Key West, his sights set on the historic Strand Theater which he plans to trick out with “Atomo-Vision” and “Rumble-Rama” for an advance screening of his latest opus, Mant! Meanwhile, local teen and Navy-brat Gene, a dedicated fan of genre flicks, and his colorful assortment of friends navigate growing up during a frightening crisis with Cuba just a stone's throw away. This includes Gene's crush Sherry who is stalked by her ex-boyfriend Harvey, as if things weren't complicated enough. But when Gene sees through Woolsey’s promotional tricks and offers to help, the impresario takes the boy under his wing and expounds upon the cathartic power of horror pictures—a lesson that is especially poignant since Gene’s father has been deployed to the front lines of Cuba. All roads converge during the premiere of Mant! when a lust-crazed Harvey, recruited into operating Woolsey’s theater wizardry while wearing a hokey ant costume, decides to take matters into his own hands—or claws, as the case may be. To hear more about this release and about Joe Dante discussing his working relationship with Jerry Goldsmith, tune in to the Goldsmith Odyssey podcast featuring director Joe Dante, film editor Marshall Harvey and the team at Intrada. https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com ... all-harvey Tracklist: 01.

Obi-Wan Theme debuts at Star Wars Celebration, conducted by John Williams
Amer replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I kinda felt it was a Theme for John Williams himself than Obi Wan. Both are Old, wise and have seen so much. I think it goes both ways if you look at it. -

Obi-Wan Theme debuts at Star Wars Celebration, conducted by John Williams
Amer replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
A perfect music for a “Strange old Hermit…” -
I was actually thinking the same but I think Williams prefer to choose the most commercially viable/ successful film scores in the concert hall these days. He may not have fond memories of that one owing to the dismal performance of that film and from that tragic time. But This is something that Keith Lockhart could resurrect with the Boston Pops. Wasn't he planning a follow up album to his previous Williams album?

Has anyone bought from the UK site received any shipping notice? -
I love this post ET/ Raiders/Temple of Doom period when he was doing Amazing Stories, Olympics, Liberty Fanfare.The score is vintage Williams in his 80s mode full of invention and optimism.
-
Didnt Williams donate all his scores to a Univerity a while back?
-
Thats what I like about Williams as that he takes the main theme from any of his films and recreates them for the classical concert setting whilst making it more elegant and worthy of the concert reportire. Its one of the reasons why his music survies the movies and goes beyond that limitation. It begets a new life in the concert world. This is some thing I noticed early in the 2000s when almost every film he did thereon had a major performance of theme which was designed not just for the album but for the concert hall.
